Bridal Shower/Bachelorette Party

November 9, 2009

I neglected my camera a bit this weekend but luckily some other gals picked up the slack. My camera is too big to lug around when I’m trying to have a “good time” (if you know what I mean), so some of these are from a disposable camera – my trustworthy back up. Enjoy.

The bridal shower…

100_2360I felt like Michelle Obama in my J. Crew ensemble, complete with pencil skirt.

My BFF Sara came to visit all the way from Long Island. She’s one of my six bridesmaids.

There was lots of gift opening…

I got so many amazing presents! I felt very loved. :)

IMG_6557There was wonderful food too, but unfortunately I didn’t get any pics! For shame!

Later that evening us girls got together for my bachelorette party. It wouldn’t have been a party without some phallic-inspired jewelry.

And provocative dancing….

Mostly all on my part….

Untitled-1Here we all are, out on the “town.” We were in my hometown which is quite small, but we made the most of the bar scene. We brought the party. My sister Emily is behind me, Sara’s below me, Joe’s sister-in-law Callie to the right of her, and the rest are Joe’s cousins. A family affair.

I also wanted to share Joe’s parents new kitten, Punkin. She’s one of the prettiest cats I’ve ever seen.

IMG_6579Here’s Joe’s Mom with her, she’s so tiny!

IMG_6594Oh kittens…. they get me every time.

And I’ll leave you with my lastest FOAM. I took a 3 day hiatus while I was away, but I’m back!

FOAM-12There’s some cool things happening in the FOAM Flickr Group. Check it out, and/or join if you feel so inclined! :)

Off to watch the Steelers, but I probably won’t make it too far…. still trying to catch up on the nice sleep deficit I created this weekend. It was well worth it! See you tomorrow. :)

    Looks like SO much fun!! Congrats :) And totally random, but I’ve followed Sara’s fashion tumblr for like 1.5 years and just realized you’re friends. I feel like a major stalker or something, but how small is this world?!

    That is the most lovely Mrs. O outfit ever to grace someone that was not Mrs. O. LOVE. And the dancing and the jewelry? Excellent choices, both of those.
