Last Random Post Before I'm a Married Lady

Welp, girls...this is the last random post on a Blonde Ambition before I become a married lady on Saturday...woah, Nelly! I have a feeling the randomness is only gonna get better though ; )

Actually, I have a feeling that with this new chapter in my life will come many good blog posts. Experiences become richer as we get older, new memories are made and new people are introduced. I really do think this is just the beginning for this little blog : )

1. Enough of that sappiness, let's talk about how AMAZING it has been to be off work this week. Lordy be, it's been great, y'all! I really don't know how people work the week before their weddings. I knew if I did, I wouldn't be able to focus on anything other than wedding stuff. A week of vacation time well spent, if you ask me.

2. Got a new dress yesterday at Francesca's at our local Promenade for the honeymoon...see below! It's a little bit boobalicious, but I feel like that's ok because:

a) I'm 26 and might as well show off the girls while gravity is still in my favor

b) It's my honeymoon and my honey will appreciate the, ahem, view ; )



3. Most of my family got in for the wedding last night and that makes me SO happy to get to see them for a few days before Saturday.

4. Speaking of weddings, I was looking at celeb wedding pics online and Kim Kardashian's popped up. I really don't love her headpiece that she wore...didn't really go with the dress...kind of Princess Jasmine meets Zsa Zsa Gabor..too much with the veil...thoughts??



5. I've had a Pumpkin Spice Latte every single day since the day they came out. Yes, I get the fat free milk, but ALWAYS add back the whipped cream. I feel in some messed up way, the skim milk balances out the 1,000,000,000 calories in the whipped cream, making this a completely acceptable, nutritious and low-calorie treat.  Please don't debunk my theory.

6. Somehow, through all the PSL's, I've still managed to maintain my wedding goal weight.

7. I'm currently obsessed with Vera Wang's new fragrance, Lovestruck. Lightly floral with a musky undertone, it's just beautiful.


8. I'm also obsessed with Make-Up Forever's new Smoky Lash mascara, below. It's sold at Sephora...go getcha some, chicas!


9. The high here today is 66 degrees! That is darn near fall weather! OH MY, could autumn finally have arrived???

10. Please lord, yes.

Be blessed, lovelies-

  20. Love, love,love your new dress! Can't believe your wedding is finally here. So exciting!

    I'm in 100% agreement with your PSL skim milk balances out the whip cream theory. I do this with my PSL as well or whenever I splurge for a mocha (something has to balance out that chocolate!)

    Have an amazing wedding day! Hope you're scheduling a post of those bridals you teased us with to show up on the big day?

  30. Love Francesca's--I've gotten a few dresses there that I always get compliments on. ;)

    The Starbucks across from my office is closed for renovations, so I've only had one PSL yet. I will absolutely be making up for this next week when my store re-opens.

    Can't wait to hear about the wedding. Hope you have a wonderful weekend with friends and family celebrating being a Mrs.

  48. HOLY CRAP YOU'RE A MARRIED WOMAN!!! I'm a bit misty eyed here because I'm so excited for you and know my day is quickly coming too. I can not wait to see and hear all about it.

    That dress is amazing - perfect honeymoon gear!

    I agree 100% about Kim's look, I was NOT a fan. Of course her make-up looked amazing but that head piece was not my cup of tea!

    ENJOY YOURSELF SWEETHEART!!! I will be working up until wednesday before my wedding, I am insane, yes! oxoxo

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! ox
