Wedding Dresses

Well, I've been trying on all kinds of wedding dresses lately in Kingston, Napanee, and Belleville. Feel free to ring in with suggestions on your favourites! So far I just have the web-site pictures, but Simply Elegant in Kingston/Napanee will let me take pictures of me in the dresses for better comparison. Access the link above to check out more dresses.

This dress is from the Venus Informal collection, dress I0219. If I decide on this one it will be in white with cranberry accents (since the wedding colours are burgundyish)

This Venus Angels & Traditions collection (dress AT018) is one of my favourites. It's simple with lovely white embroidery. I thought it looked a bit better on me than the model makes it look (especially the front view on the Venus web-site).

The Sincerity 3021 was also a nice looking, simple dress with a bit of the cranberry colour for flare...

This Sincerity 3068 also looked really good on... just a little bit of pink in the embroidery at the bodice, but not too much (since I'm not a "pink" girl)... and the back was amazing!

This Venus Angels & Traditions gown (AT178) was also another favourite (okay, so all of the ones on here are!)

________________
I had other favourites on the wedding dress web-sites but haven't been able to find them in stores yet.

Spiffy new shoes

I know it's kind of silly to post this, but i'm super excited about the new running shoes I bought. I'm one of those people who gets really tired of plain white running shoes. Since I heard my model of choice now had pink accents instead of red (I'm definitely not a "pink" girl), it was with some trepidation that I ventured forth to buy a new pair... finally giving in to the shin splints and knee problems that were developing from wearing the treads into the ground. To my surprise I found the baby blue and silver Nikes that fit amazing... I'm sure to be super fast now! It's a fact that flashy shoes make you run faster.

Congratulations Lan & Andy!

Last weekend Kali & I drove up to Thunder Bay for Lan & Andy's wedding held on Saturday, August 6. I took a bunch of pictures, but my digital camera ran out of power and the ones i did take mostly didn't work because it was too dark. Fortunately i brought my handy manual camera (a nice old Pentax Spotmatic) and was able to take at least a few pictures. This one was my favourite.
