Be sultry, not skanky.

So I'm not gonna lie today. In the past year I've pack on quite a few pounds. I may or may not have shared this information before. I went from 110 pounds to about 125, give or take depending on what I ate the day before. So this past beach season I was less than enthused about prancing around the beach in an itty bitty bikini. I'm not fat by any means, but I just picture myself being "that girl", you know, the one who's wearing a too-small bikini that makes you think, "What the hell was she thinking? Why do her friends let her out of the house that way?" So I went a different direction. Behold!

Pinup Girl's very own design vintage Marilyn swimsuit. A modest one-piece that's still a little sexy. This style comes in black, leopard, pink, and red. I myself rocked the black one. You can get it for about $72 before shipping at the link in the title. It's so worth it, trust me. And before I sign off, I'd like to take a second to mention this model, Violet Valentine who is lovely. The actual spokesperson for pinupgirlclothing.com is Masuimi Max. Check out the website!

Yesterday blogspot hated me.

For real. Yesterday I couldn't post a picture without having to restart my computer. It was massively annoying. The item for today is something you cannot have. Because it is a one-of-a-kind. And it's mine. From the 1940's I believe. It's platinum. And diamonds!

I finally have my engagement ring to wear! And keep! Oh how I love it. Okay sure you can't see it so well in this picture but it was taken with a cell phone! Once I find my docking cable or whatever it's called I will take a nice close-up shot of it and let you see it. Yay!

I have wedding on the brain!

It's not a wedding blog I swear! When I go on the Knot (you may as well just euthanize me now, it's not going to get better) and I see women posting their wedding blog everywhere, it makes me want to puke! No, I will NOT vote on what dresses your bridesmaids should wear! Did you ask them?! Does it look good on them? Does it look horrible on them and you're asking us so you can override their decision with, "Well everyone thinks you should wear THIS DRESS IN CHARTRUESE!" Do not force them to wear chartreuse, it's a horrendous color to put on people. The flesh that goes well with it is rare. Hm. Rant over. But I did by the way show my ONE and only bridesmaid, Diana my sister, a bunch of dresses, ask which ones she liked and we decided that she'll get one after she tries it on if it's flattering. The one she hated I said, "Okay, we'll not get that one!" I said blue or green, whichever shade looks better. Heather 1. Bridezillas 0. But yes. Really what I wanted to tell you all is that Jonathan's ring is going to be simple, inexpensive, and not titanium because I'm paranoid that if something happens he'll lose his finger because they can't cut it off. This is one he picked out:
By Spexton Jewelry (http://www.spexton.com/ViewProduct.asp?ModelNumber=RI1003) It's stainless steel, and there is also a hammered version of it that he's considering. As far as wedding bands go, $149 is an absolute STEAL. I absolutely love it. His other choices on Spexton are wonderful as well, they really have great work. Go to the site and check out their other jewelry as well, it's interesting and sleek and different. I would post my wedding band but I have yet to find a vintage platinum band that I like and that is in our price range.... I love poverty.
