Today is the last day of our double-digit countdown! My to-do list has taken a drastic beating... I've accomplished a lot amidst this being one of our busiest times at work. Not going to lie, I've sometimes felt like my head is spinning so fast that it's going to take off like a helicopter. This is how my list is looking since last week's Wedding Wednesday post. The items in green are things that have been done since last Wednesday. Bold, black items are still on the list!

Last night, I spent some time at the Chanel counter to pick out my wedding lipstick. Definitely wasn't easy as I thought, but we all agreed on a shade in the Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour.
That's all I've got for today. Happy Humpday!
So exciting! I modified your list for my own Wedding post today. Love that shade of lipstick!
ReplyDeleteYipee!! I am loving that lipstick shade! It will be perfection!
ReplyDeleteGirl I am right there with you! We share the same wedding date :) Trying to take time to enjoy the calm before the storm. Love the lipstick!
ReplyDeleteGood work!!! I am very jealous of your last minute alterations. Due to my dress being at the dry cleaners until the week of the wedding I did not have time for any last minute tucks and my dress was definitely a little big!!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Love that lipstick! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Love that lipstick :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you are getting very excited! Last summer I put together this "wedding survival kit" for a friend's wedding. It came in really handy! Some of it's contents were not used, some of them were used a lot! All-in-all, it was great to have a kit put together that everyone knew they were allowed to access. (Instead of rummaging through purses and such.) Maybe have one of your bridesmaids put one together!

ReplyDeleteHow exciting - it looks like you've been busy!

So exciting! Cherish these moments. I never got to plan a wedding...we were engaged for a week and married at Breach Inlet on Sullivan's Island. I actually just got surprised with a wedding ring {had never really had one} after 5 years of marriage, on my 30th birthday this past weekend. Posted about it on my blog. I was soooo surprised. Hope your wedding goes perfectly. xoxo

Beautiful lipstick color!
ReplyDeleteYAYY! That is a gorgeous lipstick color! I bought WAY too many lipsticks to test out for my wedding, ha!
ReplyDeleteCiao Bella,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, it is filled with lots of interesting things... just my style... hehehe.
I started following you, I hope you don't mind.
I'd love it so much if you also followed me back at www.agelesssecrets.blogspot.com, it would really make my day!
Wishing you a really lovely day!!
Hugs & Kisses,
Love,

Congrats on having so much completed on your list! I'm a year away from my wedding and I'm making a similar list. When I blog it I will give you credit! Thanks for the help! :)
