Oh no! I'm sure one of those sequined bags will pop up at just the right time for you to snag Hopefully, at a time when you can afford it. I seem to always find the good stuff on sale when I have just enough money to get me through the month...so I wind up eating really cheaply for the rest of the month but in FABULOUS shoes/clothes haha. I've got to get a job to support my shopping addiction!

 

And I'll give you a bigger hint about the souvenir I MIGHT be getting. It goes on your left ring finger and symbolizes something very important! I'm 95% sure...and if I'm wrong I give up on female intuition.

 

Fingers crossed!

 

 

HE DID IT! He proposed! We're getting married!!!!!!

 

And what an amazing souvenir!!!

It's Ritani, .8 carat centre stone, white gold for now but getting it in my size in platinum, they couldn't size it down any smaller without the diamonds coming out. Until I get my new setting, I get to wear this one though, then they will switch out the diamonds to the new one It has 53 diamonds total and I LOVE IT. It's the one I picked out

So excited! Feminine intuition never lies! i knew it!

 

When we were at the beach last year, his whole family was there, about 25 people in one beach house. We never got to take a romantic walk on the beach at night, so he told me he owed me a walk on the beach when we got to Florida this year. It was just the 2 of us this time, no family! He took me out to eat Friday night, then told me we were walking on the beach. The moon was full and the waves were mild, hardly anyone was on the beach. he asked me how much I loved him and I said something funny, as usual. He said, "Good because I want to ask you something"...down on his knee he goes and I'm like....what is he doing?!?! He said how much he loved me and proposed and I freaked out and said yes about 10 minutes later haha. We are so excited!

[Krys]

congrats! im so happy for you the ring's purdy

[Frida]

Aaaw, congratulations Lindsey, I'm so happy for the two of you! (Gorgeous ring as well!)

[ladylindsey]

Now on to the real problem. Finding a dress. Geez. My head hurts just thinking about it! I want couture!

[MTJ]

That proposal sounds so romantic!

 

on a slightly less, but still exciting note, I just got a great deal on this JCrew cashmere sweater!

 

 

It was on a super sale -- from $188 down to just 63! Even though I just bought the black one a week ago, I couldn't resist it in white!

 

Apparently their sweaters are woven in the same mill Prada uses.

[Frida]

Good find Michael! White goes with eveything

 

 

 

 

 

Lindsey - It's a jungle out there! Do you have any idea what style you want? A-line, princess, ballgown, empire, trumpet/mermaid or column/straight cut silhouette? Sleeves/no sleeves, straps? Halter, boatneck, sweetheart-, V-neckline? "Plain", embroidered, lace?

 

 

You'll have so much fun picking it out, I'm almost jealous

[ladylindsey]

That is a really good discount you got, Michael! And yes, you can wear that with almost anything

 

Frida- oh gosh. Well, I think with my body shape anything over the top a la our dearest Céline would eat me alive. I'm going to try a ballgown on if nothing else just for the heck of it hahaha, but I'm pretty sure the trumpet/mermaid or fitted/straight silhouettes will suit me better. I'm little and short (guh) so I think less dress will be more, maybe make it more dramatic in the train and veil, accessories etc. I like lace and a bit of beading. I have a feeling I won't find anything I like, I have been looking for years thru collections and always kinda like one part of one dress and kinda like one part of another, you know. I know I'll go in and fall in love with the most expensive dress there. That's always how it happens with me I'm afraid lol. I may have one made if I can figure out what I want.

 

I also thought about having my own version of this J Mendel made with some alterations to suit me...because I dearly love this dress since the moment I saw it and it would be like Celine!!

 

 

I am pretty excited about trying everything on. I know it's early, and I won't go too soon, but a girl's gotta think about it!

 

And then I have to find shoes!

[Bellamy]

Lanecrawft have this Balmain leather jacket. The price is about $18,000. It's made by very soft lamb.

and maybe this leather skirt.

http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2009RTW/BALMAIN/RUNWAY/00110m.jpg

 

They only have 4-5 Balmain dresses.

[ladylindsey]

geez. this made me laugh for quite awhile. I'm looking into big bridal showrooms and one of the largest in the southern USA , the 3rd largest in the USA actually, says they consider couture $1,400.... I'm never going to find a dress! Someone fly me to paris.

[Frida]

Uuuhm, id they forget a 0?! Real HC is made-to-order/custom fitted dresses made of the finest fabrics in certain workshops.. (Paris) Do they really have the nerve to call that couture?! I mean couture dresses start at $15,000 - 20,000

 

 

 

 

aah.. the term is being misused all the time unfortunately..

 

(I like that Mendel dress btw)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bellamy: aren't their leathers just wonderful?!

[Bellamy]

Bellamy: aren't their leathers just wonderful?!

Yeah. But there are too many zeros on the price tag.

[Krys]

Bellamy: aren't their leathers just wonderful?!

Yeah. But there are too many zeros on the price tag.

 

[Frida]

Bellamy: aren't their leathers just wonderful?!

Yeah. But there are too many zeros on the price tag.

 

It is a heck of a lot of money, but you can't remove a zero either, you won't get jackets like that for $1,800

Haha the dress shop forgot some 0s and Balmain tacked some extras on. Those jackets are so nice. Now THAT'S the kinda quality I'm lookin' for!

[Frida]

They're airing a 5 part documentary about Chanel here, and on the latest episode they started doing the toile for a couture wedding gown (not for the HC show, but a special order from a client) I can't even imagine getting married in couture Chanel Edited September 12, 2009 at 08:13 PM by Frida

[MTJ]

I'm not sure if this is more appropriate here, or in the Celineish closet, but I just saw this pic of kanye, and he's wearing men's balmain jeans! I'm not jealous of him... just of his jeans.

 

 

[Frida]

I actually feel quite sorry for the jeans for having such a jerk of an owner

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Got my Attling jewelry yesterday, spent the evening cleaning them (don't we just love honest sellers? "Like new" my a***. Ah well, I got them clean and shiny in the end). The plan is to keep the cross and sell the two other items for what I purchased the three for = basically getting the cross for free.. got the lot for $160, retails for more than $520, that won't be a problem.. but I've started to like the droopy pendant, and I could pull it off with my neck so.. hmm, might keep that one as well.. we'll see, it was a steal anyway

[Davey84]

I nearly bought a purple Dolce and Gabbana jacket in Paris... but common sense took over, and I didn't! LOL

[Frida]

I had a purple winter jacket once then I got boring and stuck to black/beige/grey LOL

[MTJ]

Well! I got more clothes! Pants from Banana Republic. I have only been wearing one pair of pants all month. Time for some change!

 

Pants

 

 

Jeans

 

[Krys]

Frida, what's the cross? some sort of brooch?

[Frida]

Michael: Love the pants!

 

 

Krys: No it's a pendant But it needs a chain, I just need to figure out what length I want

[Bellamy]

I bought this Celine Computer Carrying Case with Blazon Logo (160702JBU-38NO) today. The real item looks much better. It's kinda related to Celine.

[Bellamy]

Paris? Do they sell the men's collection there? You should get a pair of the jeans.

[Frida]

I don't think I could ever go in there.. too scared of the rude SA's

[Bellamy]

I don't think I could ever go in there.. too scared of the rude SA's

I don't care about the SA's at all. Usually I don't want their service, even when they come up to me, I usually tell them leave me alone, let me see myself.

[Frida]

Yeah, but I can't always handle the negative energy..
