Monique Lhuillier Sample Sale Los Angeles December 4th 2011

YIKES!! Why does Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier sample sale happen on the same day in LA? This just doesn't seem right.. I think one of them should switch date... Just saying!! Anyway if I were going to go to this thing.. which I am not.. :( I would go in to the Vera and Monique stores first, see which dress you like more and then concentrate on going to just that one store you like first. This is the first time Vera has a sample sale and it starts at 11am.. mm.. I am pretty sure last sample sale at Monique starts at 10am and people are lining up in the wee hour.. it will get tough to wait in line twice in a day.. but it can be done :P if you want too.. See this post on my tips about going to sample sale. Good luck!! Are you going to one of these two events?

Flower Arranging: New found hobby

After my wedding, the thing I missed the most is ..... the flowers.. learning about various types of flowers, looking through various flower arrangement. So in the end I sign up for a Flower Arrangement workshop by Celadon & Celery. They are based in New York but they had flower arrangement classes back in November in LA. I immediately signed up and a friend also joined me yay...

Here is a picture of the LA Flower market:

And pictures of some of my arrangements:

Love me some David Austin Juliet

The red flowers (the not long and slender one) is called straw flowers and it feels like straw and feels fake.. very strange!

The dahlias are yellow in the center but pink on the outsides (But it is dying after 4 days) no like!

Flower decoration in Indonesian wedding

Wedding dresses we said no to...........

You guys might or might not remember , but I had gone to 13 individual stores to check out wedding dresses and have probably tried on 50+ dresses before finally buying the one.. It's not that these dresses are not beautiful... but it was just not the one... so what do you guys think of these dresses? how many dresses did you try before buying the one? I took a picture of most of the dresses I have tried so there are more to come!
