For the Almost Newlywed...

I got a fun request from a fellow blogger friend. To quote Megan, "my cousin is getting married in September and I was wondering if you could do a post about some "honeymoon essentials", but for good prices. Like a good bathing suit, good sundress for shopping, good dress for dinner, and maybe a cute piece of lingere, sunglasses, etc. She is too shy to leave a post to ask you to do it, so I said I would email you. If you dont have time, trust me, that is fine. We just thought it would be fun."

Well Megan and Courtney, if only you knew that this is the direction I would love for this blog to take. I love putting stuff like this together. And like I told Megan, I spent the whole afternoon at clinic sitting in the Neurologist's waiting room playing on the internet {mostly Polyvore}. Ladies, this is the first batch. And there will be plenty more...trust me!! Its turning warm and its time to turn some focus to warm weather attire. What better way to kick this off than with a Polyvore??

Courtney by Rachel Machen featuring Steve Madden shoes

Items in this set:

And you will see that all items are VERY reasonable. Anyone notice a trend with my picks? I was trying to put myself in Courtney's shoes. If I were to be getting married in September, I would have the HARDEST time picking out outfits for the honeymoon and all those parties leading up to it!! I reassured Megan that it would be okay though {even though I probably won't have the previously mentioned task for years and years to come...I'm pretty sure in my waiting room delirium I told her I would be too old to fly by the time my chance at a honeymoon came around}.
