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'm chilly

I did just get home from a pool party after all. And what's lovely when you're chilly? Tea! I just tried some Tension Tamer tea with a little honey and it was wonderful! What I wish I had though, was a great tea cup. Tea... tea cup... tea party... Alice in Wonderland!

The stacked cups! Yes!! It may be $14 but it is 3 cups for the price of 1. Get it for me! http://fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=3764&cat=254 Yes, I am demanding someone get me this wonderous tea cup! Pretty please? Make it my wedding present? I'll send you a thank you note with my picture on it and everything!

Today is going to be busy for me

So I'll drop my item for today already. This is actually something that I already own. I saw it once and couldn't stop obsessing over it. For WEEKS I obsessed over this necklace. I never bought it because, well, let's face it, not every person can afford a $175 necklace. (Thaaat's right! $175!) I sent the seller, who goes by Madame Fortuna, a private message to simply convey how much I adore her pieces. She was so touched by my message that she cut me a special deal. Don't tell her I told you that ;) Anywho:

When she did my special order, mine actually was done with oxidized silver instead of the bright gold. She was a pleasure to work with and so willing to help me out. Whenever I need a special piece of jewelry, I try to look to her first if I have a few extra pennies to drop. Without further ado, if you want to look at Madame Fortuna's work yourself, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5242018

So I'm gonna nerd out tonight

As if I usually don't. Tonight is more homage to my dear Jonathan. FINALLY we can run around and tell everyone, Hey! We're getting married!!!! It's all official! WOOOO! So, short and sweet:

The "I heart my gamer" tee. Jinx has more way cooler tees, but I felt like nerding out since everything got official tonight. Woohoo $20 tees!!! http://www.jinx.com/women?&data=%26ps%3d20%26pn%3d1%26sort%3dselling%26tcid%3d1&ps=all

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.

On bad days...

Hi. My name is Heather. I'm a shopaholic and I have not bought a pair of shoes in 17 days. But I am weakening. I'm stressed because I'm trying to write out a potential guest list and I want to keep it around 200 but knowing my mother it will skyrocket to 300. She'll say I can't complain because she'll pay for it but I'll tell her we want a SMALL wedding, so 200 is already a decent compromise! I'm playing the scene out in my head and it's making me panic! So I want them... Oh yes, I do. I want THESE!

I adore these. I want them in teal. The top picture is only to show you what they look like in better detail. The second pic is the color. It's wonderful isn't it? http://tinyurl.com/5jq7zm They're currently on sale for about $160. The teal is not available in my size, fortunately for my wallet, sadly for my addiction. If anyone locates the teal is a 6.5 (US) give me a holler? Anyone? Bueller?

So my day really wasn't that interesting.

I.... didn't pay attention to my World Lit class, I actually drew up wedding plans. It was great fun. I chose a dress for my sister to wear. If it's flattering when she tries it on anyway... And I also looked at some favors per my sister's request. Her name is Diana by the way. I highly enjoy the containers she showed me. They look like little vintage candy jars, the ones that sit at an angle with a funny little metal top. Way cute. But anyway. Containers! That's how I'll tie in todays item. Going to school, I always see tons of people drinking ridiculous amounts of coffee. They then throw away their coffee containers. Think green people! Think....

Not a paper cup! Available at MANY places, http://fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=3816&cat=366 this place included! $22 is pricier than other places. Just Google "not a paper cup" and it should come up. I try to do my part for the environment even tho I'm not like "Save the Earth and be green!" because really I think we're too far gone. But I do like this cup anyway. I like things that look like what they're not. ::evil smile::
