1 Day to Go! (& it’s my birthday!!)

Oct 15, 2012 | 23 Comments

OMG!!  Just one day left until the book arrives!  And, it’s my birthday!!  Best birthday present a girl could ask for.  (Plus this little treat of Sofia bubbles to sip as I write this, in the wee hours of my b-day!)

Birthday Bubbles!

PS, it’s the last day to pre-order and get your bookplate!  You have until 11:59pm tonight (10/15) to order and fill out the form on the BOOK page to get an adorable bookplate.  Not joking, they’re super cute and have hangers on them!  While you do that, I’ll be at the DMV getting my license renewed – I mean nothing says birthday more than the DMV.  I might bring cupcakes!

I got to spend my Sunday doing some wedding celebrating in Malibu!!  A full rundown will come tomorrow, but I wanted to show you guys the final dress I ended up wearing…

My Dress!!

Thanks for all of your advice/input – I ended up going with the floral patterned piece for the beachy wedding!  You’ll get the before shot tomorrow…how ’bout them apples?  Getting the before shot after seeing how the piece turned out??  I think you just might be surprised :)

Rachel looked amazing in her veil…

    Happy Birthday Marisa!

    I don’t know what the DMV people would say if you brought in cupcakes… but I’m sure it would make them cry.

    • newdressaday

      Um, I totally did bring in cupcakes but the dude assisting was AWFUL and didn’t deserve them. I gave them to my mailman instead :)
