Miss Lamb's Picture
Miss Lamb, Norfolk Age and Occupation: 25, Homeland Security Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Graduate Student Engagement Date: January 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Trinity Presbyterian Church/Harrison Opera House About Me: I’m a Homeland Security Consultant with a tendency towards pulling office pranks, taking lunch breaks, and drinking Wawa shakes. I’m also an English major with a serious obsession with alliteration and rhymes. While I’m not keeping America safe, I’m training for half marathons and the Escape from Alcatraz swim. Or moving for the third time this year. Or baking. Or wedding crafting. Or crying about wedding planning. All the while, I’m getting myself into Lucille Ball-esque scrapes and making Jim Carey-esque faces. Our big fat Czech/Baptist/Jewish/Italian wedding is a combination of vintage eclectic, DIY, and little spoonful of sugar from our Event Coordinator. It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!

Vintage Rehearsal Dinner Outfit

September 29th, 2009 @ 5:30 pm by Miss Lamb

I have about 20 pages of “favorited” items in my Etsy account. As I was browsing through them (I do daily to purge those items that have been sold or expired), I pieced together a wonderfully vintage outfit.

I liked it so much, and it seemed so wedding-y, that I thought it would work beautifully for a casual or courthouse wedding. Then I thought, “Why couldn’t…

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

September 28th, 2009 @ 6:10 pm by Miss Lamb

Interestingly enough, being happy is sometimes the exact source of my worry. Call it first child syndrome, people pleasing, or a personality flaw, but whatever you call it, I have it. In my immense desire to please people, especially authority figures, I sacrifice what I think will make me happy.

In my own mind, this sacrifice ultimately will make me happy, because I think that my…

How Shall My Little Hooves Be Shod?

September 25th, 2009 @ 12:00 pm by Miss Lamb

Sometimes, I’m a little self-conscious when I wear high heels. My Lambers loves me in heels, and thinks flats look a little like “grandma shoes”. I too love heels, but I also soar to 5’10″ or above when I slip them on. J-Ram? He rocks me hanging off his arm in my high heel glory like sane Tom Cruise used to rock the less Botoxed…

Mrs. Moonbeam, Los Angeles/San Antonio Age and Occupation: 26, Intern Architect Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Studio Analyst, aspiring Screenwriter Engagement Date: May 20, 2009 Wedding Date: November 2009 Venue: Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church (LaCoste, TX) and Mary Gray Events Center (Castroville, TX) About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, but after college I moved to Seattle for a couple of years and loved it. Then I followed my beau out here to LA and we're getting settled in. I've been making things since I can remember. I was raised by crafters. I love to sew, draw, paint, build, cook, bake (anything with a tangible end result is fair game). In that same spirit, I've been hosting since I was old enough to cook and set a fancy table. I kind of take after my grandmother, who believes that your morning OJ always tastes better out of the good crystal.

The Need for Closed-Toed Shoes

September 17th, 2009 @ 3:59 pm by Mrs. Moonbeam

Long story short; I ran a half marathon at the end of June and now I’m missing half my right big-toenail and half of the left big-toenail is still bruised. When I ran a full marathon my feet were fine, but something about this half just ruined my toenails. And the bummer is that it’s taken 2.5 months for the nails to almost get halfway…

Bridesmaids’ Shoes

September 16th, 2009 @ 11:05 am by Miss Frozen Yogurt

I love shoes. That’s obvious, but I don’t want to be demanding of my girls and tell them what shoes they should wear. But, I would LOVE if my girls wore brightly colored shoes with their dresses. And seriously, any color; I think it would look so cute! It would really make the grey dress look great! J.Crew has some amazing options, as you can see above.

The Blue Shoes

September 6th, 2009 @ 5:15 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

Ladies and gentlemen have an announcement to make regarding those coveted blue shoes, but let me start from the beginning. These manolo Blahnik shoes are known as something blue, as in you have to wear them for your wedding, or at least that’s how I took it. Then I went to the store, saw them in person, and I officially fell in love. Well, I am signed up to receive sales and other announcements from Neiman’s. So a few weeks ago I got one that made my heart skip a beat, the first mark sale, one day only.

It’s been a long while since my fabulous wedding day shoes have made their way into a post! I’ve had them for months and months, and while I’ve cheated on them a few times with some other eye candy, they’re here to stay. I feel sex-ay when I slide these on!

They don’t match my dress at all (they’re more of a yellow-y ivory and my…

The Accessories

August 25th, 2009 @ 11:59 am by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

I’m stuck. I just can’t seem to find a pair of earrings that wants to work with my accessories, that I like, and that feels unique. In short, I’m looking for a pair of earrings that isn’t necessarily bridal. That said, I also want a pair of earrings that is bridal. Now you’re confused, right? Me too.

Here’s a snapshot of my accessories as they stand now (the floral, silk belt from J.Crew is still pending until I can try it with my dress):

I’m so confused. Is it August or April? I mean, seriously — enough with the rain! It’s in the forecast every. single. day. And it’s so humid I’ve abandoned trying to do anything with my hair. Ponytails and sloppy buns are my new specialty.

Messy hair’s fine for the next couple of weeks. But if these showers linger long enough to “attend” our wedding, I want…

My Wedding Shoes — Maybe?!

August 6th, 2009 @ 11:54 am by Mrs. Apple Cider

I haven’t tried these shoes on, but I saw them and fell in love. I just ordered them! They seem to match the trim on my wedding dress perfectly and the heel isn’t too high, which is great!

I found them at Urban Outfitters and they are a bit pricey at $88. I feel OK about spending that much but didn’t really expect to. I didn’t…

Shoe Surprise

August 5th, 2009 @ 6:23 pm by Mrs. Duckling

Remember way back, when I was wishing and hoping for a certain pair of shoes? I basically had given up on the search. I couldn’t find the shoes for a decent price and many stores weren’t even carrying them anymore. I had begun a new search for “the shoe.”

I recently had my birthday and went down to visit my family in San Diego for the…

I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock. My fiance and I consider ourselves both music and beer snobs--but every once in awhile we love to hear a crappy band and drink a cheap brew or two. We're planning an eco-friendly, casual, English garden affair for the end of summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!
About Mrs. Mouse

Thanks for all the input you all gave me on my last shoe post. The vast majority of you voted for the nude, ruffly Steve Maddens. I agree, they’re adorable. However, I’ve decided they are just not right for my wedding. (Don’t worry, though. I’m keeping them, and I plan on getting lots of wear out of them!)

I decided not to go with the Seychelles,…
