For him! I’ve been asking around for stylist recommendations so that I can trim my bangs once more before the big day. Selfish me. It never occurred to me that Mr Piglet had the same thoughts about his ‘do for our wedding. Not so much the bangs, but finding someone who can fade the sides and trim the top, while avoiding the cowlicks that have…

Happy Friday! Wedding planning is on pause as of late. Mr Piglet and I decided to take a road trip… across the country… to LA… forever. Yup, we arrived this past Monday after 4 days overloaded with quality 1-on-1 time with the Mister.

Mr Piglet and I are on a mission to find a slim cut suit for his small, yet buff, frame. I will be the first to admit, I know absolutely nothing about suits - the terminology, styles, armhole positioning, etc. Nada. I care to know as much as he cared about the neckline, silhouette, and bodice of my dress, to be honest.

My two-cent contribution was…

‘Tis the season to get engaged! And Sunnie has a beautiful ring on her hand to prove it. As you’ve probably seen from past brides and bees (including yours truly), Filene’s Basement ROTB is all the rage. Sunnie and I are heading to Filene’s this Friday to try our luck at finding her dress. I’m not the aggressive type, so thankfully, we’re going after the…

Meet the Lady Piglets … handsome bunch, don’t cha think? While all of the groomsmen are geographically scattered, the majority of my ladies (minus Canada) are still at our home base. When deciding on bridal attire, I loved the idea of different dress styles for each girl, in the same color, with flowy material. David’s Bridal seemed like the logical choice with the plethora of…

I fell victim to the bang craze (multiple times) over the past couple of years. I was that girl who brought in a picture of Reese Witherspoon’s bangs, and told my stylist to fix mine to look like hers. The picture below is evidence that twisting and cutting sections of your bangs doesn’t look so hot. But lately, I’ve been itchin’ to pull out the…

I have ADD-ish tendencies. For instance, I have four postings in draft status, all partially written. Co-workers often complain about my inability to stick to one subject, and claim they’ve felt symptoms of vertigo when I present virtual meetings and alt-tab between five windows at lightning speed.

Wedding planning is no exception. I wish I could tackle tasks in a chronological order, but there’s no rhyme…

Find all those dress disaster pictures you’ve chosen to ‘untag’ in Facebook, and upload them to the Amsale website for a chance to win a $2,500 shopping spree at the flagship store in New York! I know I have pictures from back in the day that I plan to sift through tonight. Good luck!

Mr P and I engaged in a think tank session this past weekend, brainstorming ideas for our invitations. How it works: I compile boatloads of pictures from the internet, and shove them in his face. He likes it. He’d rather me whittle down the choices to a select few, and contribute his two cents at the end.

All of the imagery below, I pulled from Flickr.…

What to do, what to do.  I’ve been in two weddings and had my makeup done for each.  I have the crease-less Asian eyes with microscopic eyelashes.  What throws some makeup people off is the downward slope of my eyes when I smile.  They usually apply heavy eyeshadow toward the outer edges to achieve the upward illusion.  In most cases, it’s a tough sell for…

A couple weekends ago, my friend Jean asked our e-Photo photog extraordinaire, Inhar, to shoot some pictures of her and her friends. She was moving across the coast and wanted a keepsake photograph of her friends together. Selecting a location was easy. She wanted someplace representative of the east coast, and what better location than Washington DC?! So off we went on a friiiiiiiigid Saturday…

Yeeeup, another cupcake bride. In order to avoid the per person cake cutting fee, we opted for wedding cuppity cakes. We’re going with a tiffany blue-ish/canary theme for our wedding, and cannot decide between the two for our cupcakes. I’m not a huge fan of frosting, so all of the inspirational cupcake photos were selected for that reason. Each of the designs would be customized…

HOJO was my date this entire weekend as we roamed around DC looking for wedding inspiration. First stop: the opening reception of the Design S exhibition. The exhibit showcased the nominees for the Swedish Design award, all of which focused on the importance of design for functions, communications, and business. Fun fun fun fun fun.

After a couple glasses of wine, I decided this was my…
