EXCITING things!

That right baby! Exciting things that are going on in the life of allie-mac-fallie!!

         (in no particular order)....

1) The Countdown is on till hubs and I trip back to North Carolina, HOME SWEET HOME!!!

2) (speaking of NC...) While we are there I will be taking my Bridal pics AND our "Engagement" pictures!!! (any suggestions here? I still need hair ideas and outfit suggestions ;) )

3) I FINALLY picked out a pair of shoes (I am sure you are relieved! ha You are probably sick of me asking you which ones I should wear)

.... oh so you wanna know which ones??? .....

The *SPARKLY* ones (if you know me you probably arent surprised... anything that *sparkles* sucks me in!!)

4) Its the weekend!! (and hubs and I are both working...great!)

5) 3 days ago we got FOUR of our FIRST RSVP's for the wedding (YAAAY!!), yesterday we got ELEVEN!! and today... we got more (sorry I didn't count)-- checking the mailbox the past few days has been the best part of the day!

6) Cinco De Mayo-- went to dinner at a new mexican restaurant in town and had a wonderful time and even better company-praise God for friends! (makes up for the fact I was sick the entire day... feeling better now)

7)Hubs cleaned and WAXED my car, and did the tires... on his day off- now that is sacrifice! And oh baby did my 10 year old car ever look sexier! :)

8) My sweet friend Amy is due with her first baby in 2 weeks, I am trying to live vicariously through am's ;) !!! (and I get to see her right after our wedding!!)

9) We booked our photographer for the Trash-the-Dress shoot we are doing in Florida.... OMGoodness, I am SOOOO excited and this lady does A-MA-ZING(!!!!) work, check out Patsy Brown's site!! (here is a sample of her work, I'm in love!)

(GASP!!!)

10) having the afternoon off, catching up on blogging annnnd.... taking a nap ;) buh-bye for now :) 

quick lil update!

hello blog! oh how I have missed you!!
where oh where has the time gone?

Quick update for the day, FINALLY received the shoes that I purchased and still cant decide between my top 3... what in the WORLD is wrong with me!?

So in an effort to get some more feedback after actually seeing there shoes, here are some images for you.
Note:  I have not purchased these lovely shoes from Davids Bridal:

 yet because they will need to be dyed (the same blue as the shoes below on my feet) and they are NOT returnable... hmm what to do... ha!

Here are the ones I did purchase however... what do you think?

please ignore my ugly toes and the fact the white cardboard thingy is still there.. ha!

(these cute lil shoes are not quite as high of a heel as the blue ones)

Side note: It is NOT easy to take pictures of your own feet.  (thank you mirror for your help today!)

OMG Shoes! "Show Me Your Wedding Shoes"

Okay so I have been debating over what type of wedding shoes to wear for our summer wedding coming up this July (yes I do realize I should probably already have my shoes... but I don't- which is why I'm begging for your help)
Do I want them to be formal or casual? Traditional colored or fun colored ("fun colored" meaning tiffany blue or hot pink- I love pink anything and everything...)?  Strappy or just a pump? Decisions, decisions, decisions!! Luckily I have been getting the help of my momma (love you mom) and some of my good friends... (love you lori and erin) on what styles they like but I keep thinking they are all beautiful.  So how do I choose just one??
{after I added all the pics I thought I should share with all of you a teeny-tiny bit about our wedding.  The ceremony is going to be at a very big Presbyterian church (indoors- loooong isle and stained glass windows... you get the idea right?).  We are aiming for a fairly formal ceremony with a more laid back, wild fun, party reception. Oh and our bridesmaid dresses are tiffany blue with a black sash, and the men are wearing black tux's with tiffany blue vests.  I am also planning to use pink flowers and other touches of pink.  So that gives you some sort of idea what we are aiming for... K and I are both very laid back and really our main goal is that everyone has a BLAST (duh- what bride and groom doesn't want that for their guests) ha.

Since I know that most of you are Brides-To-Be or are a Recent-Bride I figured I would ask you to:

 "Show Me Your Wedding Shoes"

I thought I would leave you all with a few pictures to drool over and also ask you which of these shoes you like best.  So here goes, I am going to attempt to hook up my FIRST "Mc-Linky"... I have never done this before so yall give me some guidance and patience :) and of course PLEASE link up :)  

First up: 1) Caparros Dolce Dyeable in Ivory 

2) Caparros Dolce Satin in Blue (same shoe, different hue ... heheheh I crack myself up!)

3) MaxStudio Semel in Turquoise 

4) Caparros Calyx Satin Flower in Ivory 

5) Ann Marino Helen Ruffle Punp in Ivory 

6) David's Bridal- Dyeable- Yvette (in Ivory or Tiffany Blue) (LOVE the bling... the more bling the better ;) )

7) Caparros Brook Sequined 

 

So there yah have it.... my favorite 7 shoes for our big day... now don't forget to vote on your favorite shoe and 

"SHOW ME YOUR WEDDING SHOES!"
