And the winner is…

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

And the winner, by a landslide, is the silver dress!  Thanks for everyone’s input on my last post!  I will confidently rock the chosen dress with pride tomorrow!

Today was a quiet, but fun day.  My lovely aunt who I visited in Seattle flew out here to Toronto for the wedding. So her, my mom, and I were all up and down the streets of Toronto causing mayhem.  It was a gorgeous day today, and of course I had my camera, so I managed to snap a few pics of our combined loveliness.

Apart from the laughter, gossip, and food that we shared, we three also went to get manicures in honour of tomorrow’s event.  This is very unusual for me as I never ever paint my nails- the last time I did was over a year ago! I felt a little silly getting them done as they are extremely short right now. I always tend to cut my nails very short when I travel so I don’t get any unsavoury germs under my nail beds- anybody do the same?




As someone suggested in the comments, because the dress is such a statement dress with a huge ruffle, I think I’ll be pinning my hair up and keeping my makeup relatively soft.  I twisted my hair today into little pin-curls today in the hopes of having a curly updo with tendrils tomorrow! I haven’t done pin-curls in ages and quite liked the look!


Anyway, I’m off to bed.  Thanks once again for weighing in (and for reading this very girly, indulgent post).  Stay tuned for pics of the final look, and of course, the for the continuation of my Chile updates (see here and here for my last posts on Chile)!

  • You guys are so cute. Love the hair!

    I'm a pedicure and manicure girl….love the massages that come with it!

    Can't wait to see the wedding pictures. Hope you had fun!

  • Oh, I hope your hair turned out the way you wanted it too!! I haven't done my nails in the longest, then I bought all these polishes, painted for about 4 weeks, now don't even bother. haha

    I like your idea of keeping them short for flying. I'll remember that.

  • @kuesooM: Thanks, lady! I haven't done my hair like this for a while and forgot how much I liked this style!

    @Myne Whitman: Just put up a pic of the finished product!! Thanks!

    @Emily: It turned out pretty good! And yes, I cut them real short because I also have a tendency to break them when I'm travelling anyway!

    @Alexa: Thanks!!

  • I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
    could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot
    of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it
    out better?

  • Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.

    Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or
    go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused ..
    Any recommendations? Thank you!

  • When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is
    added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any
    way you can remove me from that service? Bless you!

  • I don’t know if it’s just me or if everyone else experiencing issues with your website.

    It looks like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen.
    Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is
    happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my internet browser
    because I’ve had this happen before. Thank you

  • Very well written article. It will be helpful to anyone who utilizes it, as well as myself. Keep up the good work – i will definitely read more posts.

  • Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this site.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get
    that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal.
    I must say that you’ve done a great job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Safari.
    Excellent Blog!

  • Please let me know if you’re looking for a writer for your weblog.

    You have some really good articles and I think I would be
    a good asset. If you ever want to take some of
    the load off, I’d really like to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back
    to mine. Please blast me an email if interested.
    Cheers!

  • I like the helpful information you provide in your articles.
    I’ll bookmark your blog and check again here frequently.

    I’m quite sure I’ll learn many new stuff right
    here! Good luck for the next!
