I've been searching for months & have already bought a couple different pairs, but after seeing these a while back somewhere on the forum I couldn't get them outta my mind! I love them! Just ordered them today so I'm hoping they'll feel ok on.

Great job Jamie! I love the petal fold jackets!

That being said I have looked for them on the internet and haven't been able to find them. As for comfort they are really comfy!! The part around the toes is a stretchy fabric so they won't rub and give blisters. I am so excited to wear them! I tried them on with my dress the other day and they are perfect! Approx 3"-3.5" heal my dress skims the ground at just the right length! I had other ones to wear but they were 4.5" and my dress was too short, I'm really happy now anyway cuz I like these ones better!!! hooray, you found your shoes!! Those are great! May have to head over to 9 west & take a look. Quote: Originally Posted by girlkin Love all the shoes. Here's mine. I'm new at this picture posting thing so bear with me. The "bow" fluffs out...like so. Hyde Puff-Detail Stiletto Satin Pumps Those are really pretty!! Aagh! All these gorgeous shoes are not helping me. I seriously can't decide what I want.

forgot to post again yesterday, but i did work out which is good cuz i also went out for mexican - fajitas, guacamole & a margarita. oy. SSNM, seriously? cheating is some wasabi & cranberries?! can't wait for NMTZ's, should get it tonight!

let jillian kick my butt again yesterday. and I must be masochistic cuz I ordered no more trouble zones.

Very nice! Those are great bags & I agree w/ everyone, just having the place & year is enough.

Great bags! Your guests will love all the goodies! FI is a huge Cubs fan & is all depressed that they've messed up their chances yet again. ah well, there's always next year!

I also like #2 better. I don't think it's too boring, but if you do maybe change the wording of the 2nd one a little? or put it in Spanish? ¡Nuestros Fabulosos Amigos!

Wow, what an accomplishment!! Congrats!

I asked for a pic of what this includes and he didn't send me a pic but told me it comes with chairs, bows, ceremony table, 2 floral centerpieces and aisle runner....no mention of the arbor! 3 weeks and counting!!! -Jen Glad you were able to get some answers Jen! That's gotta help put your mind at ease. Did the manager have any suggestions about getting in touch w/ the wedding coordinator? I would guess you'll be able to find out about the arbor when you get down there, if not before, so I wouldn't worry too much. A lot of final details can't really be decided on til we get there, which is part of the fun of a DW!

I love this work-out! I keep falling on & off the wagon, but I just did it again yesterday. I'm still only on level 1, but once I get my endurance back up I'll move on to level 2. Trying to do it 4 times a week so I'll see how it goes. Can't believe you can get such a good workout in 20+ min! I also wanna get No More Trouble Zones - have heard a lot of great things about that too.

I totally agree with everyone else - no need to regret the way you did it. We're doing the same thing & keeping it casual. We look at the legal day as just paperwork. Your DW will be the real wedding & day you celebrate!

Those are adorable! Love them!! And how cute to switch belts from ceremony to reception!

Great!! Wow! 3 weeks?!? seems like a long time to run a background check. Hopefully they'll call you sooner! Keep us posted!

So, I've been using all my new stuff for a while and I really like it. The primer really makes your skin smooth & feels nice on. The foundation is really light and using the brush to apply it makes a huge difference! Who knew? You barely need to use any - not even 1/2 a pump's worth - and it vanishes into your skin. The concealer also disappears into skin and you end up looking pretty flawless.

Wow. I'm so sorry you two are going through this, but it sounds like you've been able to re-prioritize & have made the best decision given the circumstances. It may not be what you originally imagined, but I have no doubt you will have a beautiful wedding. You definitely have plenty of time to make it a wonderful celebration and it will be just as special b/c you'll be marrying your honey! And what a bonus - going to Mexico in January!! Have a wonderful time and get lots of cool souvenirs!

OMG, I don't know how you do it! At least you're already in competition shape though! Good luck on your next one! So, FI & I had family in town this weekend & completely over-indulged at one of Tom Colicchio's restaurants (Craftsteak) last night. But, I'm back on the wagon & did my 30 day shred.

Congrats on picking your dress!! It's gorgeous on you & makes your waist look tiny! And I think it'll be really cool with the asymmetrical strap! Can't wait to see it!

Those are really cute! And I wouldn't worry about the size of the stamps - they might be a little bigger than you wanted, but if they were tiny no one would be able to see your cute pic!

Congratulations! You definitely deserve a little indulgence!

Thanks for the info Jess! Adding it to the list of places to eat while we're there!
