The past two weeks have been-- fo’ real-- cri-ZAZ-zy! It’s been a complete whirlwind (all good, mind you), but I feel I need a vacation, though I’m not even sure from what.

To start things off, my sister came from MI for the second fitting for her wedding dress (as you may recall, she’s getting married at the end of September, and yours truly is doing the gown!). All went well, but of course it was filled with the usual “Do you think this will look good?”, “I’m not sure…”, “Is it poofy enough?” questions. But after walking her through what the finished dress will look like, I think she left a very happy bride-to-be. I must share, though, that I love when women (brides, customers, etc) will bring in pictures and say something like “I want to look like this”, when the image in the magazine couldn’t be MORE different than the person holding it. Let’s just say, it took a bit of coaxing on my part to purge certain thoughts from my lovely sister’s head about what looks good on her body, and to explain that finding the right look for you is much more important than copying someone else’s style… which is always a good rule to follow. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to wait for pics of the finished dress until September… you KNOW that’s going to be a fun blog!

We then popped down to Bumble and Bumble, where fabulous hair stylist/good friend Nico whipped through a few wedding-ready hair styles. After what seemed like hours of teasing, tucking, pulling, pinning, and I swear I saw a hot glue gun in there somewhere…
