The dress that Dani bought

OK! Sooo.. above is my dress. The dress. The dress I have stressed over. The dress I saw in purple and fell in love with. The dress that I totally didn't mind was not a huge arse merrange (sp?) The dress I will become Mrs Green in. I totally love it. I mean, yes I am huge and it is a floor length white satin dress, but I am totally happy with it- and just so so happy it arrived and hardly needed ANY alterations (this shot is before alterations- have just had the straps moved up a little to accomodate my smallish for my huge frame boobs) Also, if we can please note that I was fighting the period bloat severe and it was one of those freakish 36 degree days Melbourne had the other week.
So. It feels like I JUST realised I am getting married. So very exiciting. I am almost organised. We have rings, my dress, bridesmaid dresses, flower girls dresses, the reception organised, cake ordered, flowers ordered, vows penned (but not learnt hehe) suits are being done tomorrow..umm.. veil done, wedding jewelery done, shoes done, hair trialled and booked, makeup booked, hotel booked.... only things I can think of left are the bonbonierre (which I am assembling little white noodle boxes and glueing a strip of green ribbon around them, I have done maybe 1/4 so far? Am doing a few whenever I get a sec to sit down and watch TV or something at the moment. I then need to fill them with green foiled chocolates eclairs, green sugared almonds, mini mentos and a green foiled pink lady chocolate frog haha) oh yes, that and finalise the music list. Am soo lucky my aunt and uncle run a mobile DJ business, we are making up a dinner music playlist and a dancey playlist for them and they will be enjoying the wedding whilst the music runs itself. Sooo.. next week will be finalising those two things and learning these vows. Oh and practising some slick dance moves with ABL haha.
In other news I went shopping last night and bought this cute as black asymetrical black top that I may wear with so-skinny-i-can-barely-breathe jeans and cute peep toe heels to my work christmas party tomorrow night- either that or the hot as snakeskin print thrifted dress, but I am thinking jeans as it is going to be a shitty as 16 degrees in melbourne tomorrow and come on- I work in the transport industry and will be hardcore drinking with drivers in a pub- I think the jeans are looking good right now yes? I did buy a sexy pair of gold and brown jewelled shoulder duster earrings last night from Diva- really nice. Will wear these with my brown chunky wooden beads I think. I am in love with a gold coiled snake cuff from Diva, but \I think large bingo wing arms and cuffs don't match :-( I will show my mum tomorrow when we go shopping and see what she says. Tomorrow I am heading to one of the MANY sales the good old Toll clients have been sending us fliers about- the Max factor/CoverGirl/Boujous sale. Am excited. It is meant to be pretty darn tootin' cheap and I am on a mission- need some severely good coverage foundation, mascara and a neautral pretty pink lipfinity for the wedding. I am going with my boss and my mum- both around same age- which is kind of weird but kind of cool. These sales are soo awesome- am so sad I have no money at the moment- I am talking 40% of Sheridan sheets, $30% off Joanne Mercer shoes etc etc. So sad. Oh well, I have done the charitable thing and forwarded to all my friends. Grr...
Ohh one more thing- saw a totally awesome looking fellow fatty last night shopping- wearing black leggins, a cream sweater dress and tan just-under-the-knee boots- she looked sooo amazing. Who are you?? I want to be your friend hahah. Please contact me! lol

Huge dirty hen

Sooo.. I had my hens night Saturday night. What a night! I mean, the stripper that I thought was going to be soo good was soo not- more like not-so-hot and embarrassing. But the other parts of the night were great, hilarious cocktails, karaoke, all the trimmings of a tacky hens night.
Now I know most people say they prefer a quiet night in for the hens night, or one of these pole dancing classes blah blah but call me old fashioned- but I was happy singing like a prayer by madonna in a seedy pub whilst wearing a tacky bride top, a bride to be necklace and sash. Oh and later on- out came the pink devil horns with attached veil. My bridesmaids had matching bridesmaid singlets too.
Anyway so above I am wearing a white Cotton On top (thrifted) with little miss bride transfer from Ebay.
Black high waisted mini- thrifted
black leggings- Big W
Oh and black plastic clasp elastic belt- Crossroads.

Anyway, 7:45am, I had 15 minutes to find clothes, do hair and complete makeup! Gahh!!

I just called.. to say... i loooove you





ok yessssssssssssss it's been like five years since I wrote. But YOU try planning a wedding! I promise however, to post more and to post more pictures of myself as I wanted to do from word go.





OK so to make up, I may include two pics here. My first one is this one of me in my vintage denim dress. I love this dress. Cost me $5 from Savers and then $30 to get hemmed as it was floor length. I love the pale washed colour, I love it with my chunky wooden beads. I love the elastic gathered waist which means I can wear it with a belt, but I can go sans belt and still be nipped in. I. Love. It. BUT I have only worn it once. I feel like it is too fashionable for a South Dandenong work place lol.





OK onto other things, just want to give you a 5 year recap since its been that long since I posted hmm.

  • I now have eyebrows. Grew them back in and they are sensual
  • I haven't really lost any weight :( been too wedding stressed I think (Well, will blame on that anyway)
  • I am getting married in 2 weeks and 3 days
  • My hair has grown a little
  • I still love ROL and Bret Michaels
  • I also now love the new 90210- with a passion and have to download it weekly as it was axed in Australia.
  • I did end up having my gallbladder out 4 months ago. Via emergency surgery. Was the best thing that ever happened.

Sooo anywhoo... I also posted this pic of me in my skinny Big W jeans haha and my floral peasant blouse that I love love with the brown belt that I lost for a while and also love love.

What I don't love love is my facial expression in this pic- but beggers can't be choosers i s'ppose.

OK- that is all for now, promise to post later xx

ciao ciao
