post "call" contenders

as previously mentioned, i'm getting prepared for when bradley needs a date for the globes on sunday.  will have to act fast.  zoe probably won't be able to squeeze me in so i'm just going to have to buy online.  obvs.
i'm predicting a lot of emerald green, as it's already been proclaimed 2013's "it" color.   and being a newbie on the red carpet, i don't want to step on any toes {literally and figuratively} so i'm going to avoid.

 love love both of these first two options.

oscar de la renta

too much?  not really my color and could possibly knock over bradley with this.  no-go.

sophia kokosalaki
love this white number but scared i'm going to botch sophia's name when annoying julia rancik is shoving her mic in my face.  

oscar de le renta
too conservative?

roland mouret
love this color but maybe too boring?


jason wu
worship. wu.

marchesa
and love me some marchesa but i bet this dress weighs a zillion pounds.  and i can't really do backless so much.  and I am being completely realistic in this scenario.

ahh, screw it, i'm totes going emerald green like my other besties on the red carpet.


oscar via neiman marcus
oh and this is charlotte's pick.  


monique via neiman marcus
not too shabby considering phoebe's choice.

yikes.

dress success!

had a fabulous time dress shopping with my ashly, aunnie, and my mom this past weekend.  we were on a mission and the ash found 'the one'.  exhausting but worth it. and such. BIG. fun.

we started off with this oscar de la renta that we had been obsessing over for days.
not the one. {lucky thing since no can do 9k}  
must.  try.  everything.  you just never know what you'll fall in love with.


these are just a few more she tried on during the marathon search.
two more oscars . . .



love the bows!

and a gorge monique . . .


then onto vera.

vera had some funky shiz going on - not gonna lie but we gave it a go.  
she also had some real beauties.  obvs.



she tried this in ivory- look at the cray cray back!








she even tried on the "serena".  how could she not?

 

i mustn't spoil all the fun so you have to wait until october to find out "the one" {unless you are one of the one hundred peeps i excitedly texted this weekend with images of the ash looking STUNNING}

then we came home, popped the veuve, ate pizza, and asked CBC to dig out my vera from the basement.  yup, i took my wedding gown out of it's "preservation" box and threw her on. i'm a freak.  but i fell in love all over again.  thanks, mom, for buying me my dream dress.

ash, i am SO happy you found yours.  
you're a flipping rock star in it.
 obvs.
