Wedding Wdnesday (On Thursday)- Big Win for Boleros!
Today on Style Me Pretty, they showed a pretty fussy wedding that was really beautiful if you like that kind of thing. What stuck out to me was the bride's really fantastic dress (made by the Row) and most of all her bolero which is gorgeous and not prudish at all. It's not that it changed my mind (the bolero is bought, people) but it reinforced my hunch that a cut out back might make it that much more amazing. We'll see. But yay this girl for taking it there!

Wedding Wednesday- Flower Girliness
Alright, I am basically just using this as a half hour break before I dive back into my dissertation proposal, so not the most thoughtful stuff, but you can't win them all!
This week, to kill time I should spend on my dissertation proposal (as I am doing now) I have started looking at flower girl dresses. I thought it would be cute to do something in color, just to do something different, so of course I had to look at red polka dot dresses.
So this company- Olivia Kate Couture- is my current favorite- it is a little bit fussy and princessy, but I don't think it is over the top. I even think it is very cute and playful in white, which is good, because the boy says if I put her in something that puffy it definitely can't be color crazy. I don't know. This one really shouldn't be a huge deal, because the point of having kids in your wedding is that it is instant cuteness with very little extra effort, so I hope we can pull that off too. Mostly I would just like her to be comfy and look pretty cute.
I like this one a lot. I think it would be nice to do something a little bit sassier, because Aubrey the flower girl is pretty much the sassiest girl ever (and I mean that in a totally good way). The Boy, shockingly enough, is looking for something a little more traditional.
This one was my favorite for a long time, though he thinks it has nothing to do with our wedding (it would if he'd let me use more red polka dot like I wanted! I just think this dress is sweet while still being different and a little more fun. I guess I wish the print was a little bit different, because I think it could fit a little bit better.
So now I guess I am looking at things that are more traditional. I figure he can't fight me on red polka dot shoes with something as low key as this. Though Aubrey is also making a big appearance at her own parents' wedding a few months earlier, and they are pretty much going with this strategy (white dress, fun shoes).

5 Things I Love this Week
1. That my grandparents are Great Grandparents! I am super super excited that my cousin Danielle had her baby this morning- Jason Curtis- he is so sweet and she looks great and life is really happy. It is crazy we are to the age where cousins could even be having babies, but I am ridiculously excited for her, and I hope that this is the opening up of a new really joyful and kickass chapter in her life. She is super big-hearted and nurturing, so I know she is going to be such a good mom!
2. Finishing my dissertation proposal- I certainly haven't done this yet, but I imagine when I do I will really love it. 3 days to go before I turn this bad boy in!
3. This picture of dressed up guinea pigs. I am currently trying to figure out how I could make something this ridiculous and awesome for our fancyversary next week.
4. The Wooster Group LSD- I am still playing with this group and their performances in my head, especially the ways they are using video and drugs in the work, but they are truly a different thing to watch then to read about. I like still having lots of stuff that I don't know, but would like to know a whole lot more about. It will be a sad day when I feel like I really have gotten the gist of what I need to know
5. Reading an article I hate because I totally agree with it and disagree with it at the same time! The weird pleasures of being a graduate student. Can you tell I am too far down the rabbit hole?
