Valentine's Day (our affianced Valentine's Day!) was lovely, which also deserves a post all its own. More details to come soon - promise, promise. Yesterday Mother and I headed up to Priscilla of Boston for my accessories appointment with my bridal consultant. I found my veil and the most. amazing. piece. of. bridal. jewelry. ever. I wish I could share more because I could gush for hours, but Fiancé tends to pop in to Pink Champagne from time to time, and I cannot reveal anything before the Church-doors-open moment. Mother tried on a few mother of the bride dress options while we were in the city, and then we were off to meet my dad and Fiancé for dinner. As if this were not enough wedding errands for one weekend, I also came across the perfect bridesmaid presents for the girls and ordered them last night. In case one of them reads this, I cannot reveal what they are until the wedding has passed and I am officially a Mrs. (Is this too many surprises for one post?)

PS - my boss just completely caught me staring at my diamond, hand in front of my computer-screen and all. The giddy feeling of that day has yet to wear off.

Office chic. Bonus points for practicality?

Sunday morning, I was welcomed home by meeting Fiancé, my future in-laws, and some family friends at our favorite brunch spot. We ended the weekend with the game, but the actual game was not the highlight of Super Bowl Sunday for me. I'm not a huge football fan now that my cheerleading days are in the past, but I was happy to see the Saints win. This girl would choose gold and fleur de lis over royal blue and horseshoes anyday. (And I think the positive effects New Orleans will feel as a result of the win are wonderful.) Our little gathering turned into wedding chat over wine with my future mother-in-law and Fiancé's godmother (what fun!) while Fiancé and his dad watched the game. We did pause to watch a few commercials (what the Super Bowl is all about) - I adore those E-trade babies. Precious!

If your little heart desires to zoom in even more, you can see this beauty here.
The silk flower, peep-toe, perfect-height-heel, silver metallic... sigh. It was love at first sight. Since I couldn't say it any better myself, I defer to the queen that is J Crew (or J Crew's copywriter).
"A touch of tattered silk - hand cut and gently frayed - looks simply brilliant with all things dressy, like this gorgeous metallic leather peep toe. The look is whimsical and chic (a perfect pair in every way). 3" self-covered heel. Man-made sole. Made in Italy."
Bridesmaid dresses: J Crew Cotton Cady Madeleine dress in azalea. Check out the bow behind the neck - adore it.
