showers

bridal and baby showers, that is.

but what i really want to show you are all toilet paper/trash bag gowns that were created during these showers!

starting with my bridal shower:

The Grecian Bride


The 80s Bride


The Scary Bride


The Groom. That's my aunt in there...such a good sport. It was a great laugh!

Then there was my friend (and talented wedding coordinator), Linda Ly's (of Grand Soirees) baby shower.


The theme was the Great Gatsby. How awesome looking are mom and dad?


We made maternity dresses out of trash bags!

Then there was my friend's bridal shower after that:


More toilet paper wedding dresses. How awesome is that flower?? I made it!!!


The bride is the one in white.

And then the most recent bridal shower:


I put the sweetheart top together!

For all the showers I attended, my team won the toilet paper/trash bag dresses. Lucky or stylish? Maybe both!

Showered with love

Mom, MOH, and me. I totally wore a white dress to my shower. I added a tuxedo blazer and some hot black heels to make it more interesting though. hehe.

The ocean was our backyard for the day.

Kickin' it at ADCB at the Mondrian.

And then partied it up (for a very short while) at SkyBar.

All pix from one of my bridesmaids. So more pix to come!

Exhausted!!

from my work retreat, bridal shower, and bachelorette party! it's so hard getting pampered. hehe.

Last week, from Wednesday to Friday, I was in Palm Desert for my work's annual retreat.

And the weekend was devoted to me: my bridal shower and bachelorette party. The shower was at a beautiful home in Malibu, along PCH and the coast.

see where the "A" is...that's where my shower was!

Then we stayed at the Mondrian on Sunset in LA.



Had awesome drinks and appetizers downstairs.

Went to a pole dancing class (it is not easy!) at Pole Dance Allure. The class was amazing! Such a good workout!

And then we headed over to SkyBar, which was part of the Mondrian.


We didn't stay long though...I was so tired from all the festivities. I asked my girls if we could head back up to the room, and then I knocked out!

More pictures to come soon!
