As I sit next to my beautiful cousin (Mama O. And technically my other beautiful cousin, Big V. But she's sleeping so let's just temporarily count her as non-human.), I'm blogging away while we're watching an episode of Sex and the City. Charlotte's getting married and it's a beautiful extravaganza. I like weddings. A lot. And I feel like my blogging skills are already on the downfall. Vatever. Weddings rock and I can't wait to be a part of one and, of course, to have my own. I don't have it all planned out like those freaky girls that scribble down details at night underneath their covers with a LED flashlight, but I find looking at wedding stuff amusing so I may have a brief idea. There are so many different aspects that I don't even know where to start. Hmm, well...dress. Clearly the go to. Wedding dresses nowadays are about as traditional as slutty Amish girls that fly the nest at age 17. I just tried to pull a CH (Chelsea Handler is now forever dubbed on this blog as "CH." How many more times will I refer to her? Who knows.) and I think that it was unsucessful. Vatever, I attempted at humor. I just have to realize that there's no such thing as a funny Asian except for that Margaret Cho woman and the guy in Harold & Kumar. Digressing. So typical. For something other than your out of the ordinary David's Bridal or luxury wedding boutique, I've discovered that net-a-porter has a great little wedding area and t J. Crew just opened a
wedding salon/boutique in the Meat Packing District where the second floor is available by appointment only. How elite. They've always had wedding sections in their catalogs and on their website and according to the article, seven retails across the good ol' US of A carry some of the merchandise as well. Though I'm personally far from marriage and glad of it, Big V's friends at the ripe age of 20 are off and running. Several are getting hitched, few are already pregnant as well.
HOW'S ABOUT FINISH YOUR BACHELOR'S DEGREE AT LEAST THEN WE'LL TALK? But I'm not judging. I could never...
Anywho, as much as I love a creative twist on lyfe, sometimes tradition is just peachy keen. A wedding suit for the bride? Unless you're a dyke (take no offense if you are, I love the queers), I honestly don't find it morally acceptable. Your ethics are out the window as well. In their online wedding issue, they feature different looks including (But not limited to) bohemian, some traditionals, and a
suit. Not even a skirt suit, but just a full out regular suit. Quarter sleeved blazer with what looks to be potential ankle length pants. Not only do I dislike the concept of the bride donning a suit, the outfit overall is just not completely perfect for me, and of course everyone knows that a bride must look impeccable on her special day. The
gold beading on the blazer is simply tacky and out of place, though I will admit that I adore the upper half with the shoulders (not too strong, not rounded) and the sleeves. However, the bottom half has just got it all wrong. Length is too long/awkward, and it's quite the fatty to say the least with its double breastedness and such. THough with the greatness of the internet, yo ucan shop directly from the magazine so I decided to click on it to get a better gander. and
buyer beware, because it's totally different. Observe:
It's a little frightening
NOTHING like it was in the pictures. Let's all agree here for a moment, photoshop took a wonderful toll on this. As I read more, I found out it's a wool blend, completely even more inappropriado for a wedding. This jacket is honestly such a what the fuck moment to me and looks like it belongs backwards on Celine Dion. It has a gross satin trim with matching buttons and mock pockets that deserve to go to hell. Buy through net-a-porter for now
half off the way it should be. I think this will be the first of many wedding posts. Don't think I'm some obsessed freakazoid and that I was the girl with the LED flashlight...that'd be odd.
Don't judge, cousins!
