You'd have to be pretty confident to pull off a simple dress like this for your wedding.
But how breathtaking does it look?
No distractions.

A perfect winter wedding dress option for making a huge impact.
Would look especially good with an extravagent bouquet.
Former Perth local Rebecca Twigley married AFL player Chris Judd on NYE just gone.
The Bride and Bridesmaids all wore gowns by Melbourne duo J'Aton.
Love the detail on the gowns! And the way each bridesmaid wore a unique dress, in slightly different shades of grey.

Didn't they all look absolutely beautiful!!
Especially that raven haired bridesmaid, who I happen to know from experience is the best Bridesmaid in the whole wide world and basically an all round top chick. hehe.
Congrats to the Newlyweds!!
I'm waiting!
for my engagement ring..
In the meantime I am getting my fill from Princess Di..
The basic design is pretty similar.. we are just sort of on a different scale.. her sapphire is a whopping 18 cts, mine is just over 2ct. Mine is surrounded by tiny diamonds and her is surrounded by rather large ones.)
Which brings me to the other reason I looking at pictures of hers.. It helps allay my fears that mine will look a bit too oversized.. chunky.. or OverTheTop.. (as detailed here )
According to my calculations hers is 9X bigger than mine and it looks alright for her..

Mine is going to look one ninth less ridiculous.. which isn't ridiculous at all I'm hoping..
I'm very happy to see the official engagement photo of Prince William and Kate Middleton gives us a decent look at the famous sapphire and diamond ring.
Isn't it beautiful! And doesn't it look lovely on her hands!
If course, I'm biased.
I'm back in Perth and going to the hairdresser tonight- just for a colour.
It's been a while! My hair has sort of gone a bit orangey. In a bad way.
What I'm aiming for is a rich chocolatey brown with some caramel highlights (subtle ones not stripey).
oh Pania. I wish I was you
you annoy me but I love your Emerald earrings
Rose Byrne what a cutie
I'm loving those red lips. And the hair of course
With all due respect I can't believe she won an oscar
I don't know who you are but I'm jealous
But now I need to go through my stack of old magazines and try and find some examples likes these to rip out because I can't exactly email these pictures to the hairdresser can I.
I've already got my something blue..
but here are some ideas for you..

Blue is my favourite colour so was always going to be the easy one.
Would love to hear what you are having for old, new, borrowed & blue..?
We are going to be shopping for the Misters suit next week.
Trying to decide what colour to get him. And then what colour for his boys.
We were very keen on charcoal or grey, because it seems modern and stylish but also relaxed. And I happen to think the Mr would look particularly hot in this colour, he has the most lovely green eyes.
But then my future Mother in Law made the comment that grey or charcoal doesn't really go with our Bridesmaid dresses. Which is a bit of a spanner in the works.
I can't work out if she is right?
I'm thinking our beige dresses don't look that bad next to the grey suits? Especially if they were to be wearing a tie that also had some of the same beige colour from the dress? Or if the charcoal has a pinstripe that has more beige undertones?
Black would be the easy option as most of them already have black suits and it's the colour that goes with everything. However I reckon it seems a little somber and serious for our laid back wedding?
The other choice I guess would be brown. Which I think can look fab when done right, in a retro kind of way. But the Mr isn't really a retro kind of guy.. and the plan was to buy him a suit that he could wear again and again.. I don't know if he'd be as keen to 'invest' in brown suit.
I'd love some honest opinions please!
As an aside- speaking of brown suits.. if you haven't already seen my parents wedding photos, my Dad was slamming in his suit, which used to think was so embarassing but now think is quite cool.
It's my birthday today and I'm so happy because I'm catching a plane this afternoon and will be home tonight!
And the Mister gets home tomorrow as well!!
Just in time for some New Years Eve partying.. Ooh Yeah!

Also very best of wishes to Miss T for her New Years Eve wedding tomorrow.. have a great day Honey!
I love this girl for pulling off this look.
High neckline never looked so foxy.
The red lips don't hurt

She's at the after party of West End's Breakfast at Tiffany's, for which she has received rave reviews.
For a closer look at her earrings and make-up check out PopSugar
I'm really excited because I've got a hair trial with the lovely Thiana Sperry who is also doing my wedding makeup!
So now I've got to think about how I want my hair.
As usual my problem is there are too many things I like but of course I can only chose one.
My main dilema is wether to have fringe wept to the side, or fringe swept back
here are the cases for and against
Fringe to the side:
I just love the way these all look relaxed hairstyles.. not too fussy just nice and easy.
The only thing is I have two very strong cowlicks at the front of my head which don't really want to stay in this sort of position
For that reason I usually just pin my fringe back in a quiffesque style and thinking that it might work for wedding day as well, and here is the case for the finge pinned back
So part of me thinks that it may be best to go fringe back which is more in line with my usual look.. and isn't fighting my hairs natural tendancy as much
Okay but that is not my only dilema! I like the idea of my hair sort of pulled into a low and loose bunch at the nape of my neck.. but then I see these styles and think maybe I should totally rock a ponytail.
My hair is unfortunately very straight, rather fine and no where near as voluminous as I'd like it to be, so if I do go down the ponytail path I'm actually thinking about getting one of those clip on hair things just to give myself some more body out the back.
Other considerations:
Dress. It is greccian like with halter-like neckline which I try to describe here
Headgear. I think I will be wearing just a little puff of tulle on the side of my head, a bit like the one this bride is wearing.
Earrings. I have got some big and beautiful chandelier earrings. I mean really big. And they are colourful. And beautiful. (I will fill you in on those later)
