We went to a wedding reception on the weekend which was held at the golf course where Michael and I met (we both used to work there). It was kind of neat being back there, bittersweet. Anyways, the reception was beautiful and we had a fabulous time. Since we weren't going until much later in the evening, I went out earlier and totally neglected planning my outfit. When I got home at 10pm, I was going through all my dresses, somewhat frantically, and found this one, on the hanger, of course, but smushed in behind all the other dresses. I had totally forgotten about it! I bought it about two years ago and I ripped the tags off the night of the wedding (I love when the perfect occasion arises for something you've been holding onto).

Some of you may remember these wedges from my covet post a few months ago. Well guess what? They are officially mine! I'm on the Aldo mailing list and received a special promo code for one day only, for items on clearance only. I quickly skimmed the Aldo site to find my beloved wedges 50% off, plus with the promo code I got an additional 25% off! Eep! They were delivered the next day (now how's that for good service? And I chose the standard shipping...) and I've barely removed them from my feet all weekend. A match made in heaven!

I'm always baffled when I hear about people still tanning (using tanning beds). There is so much information and knowledge out there about how terrible it is for you, it's hard to believe people choose to ignore it in favour of bronzed skin. Now I'm no stranger to a tanning bed, I did work at a tanning salon (cringe) six years ago and had never been so dark in my life. And yes, being tanned is a beautiful thing, especially when you're as fair as I am, it brings confidence, makes you look slimmer and there is almost no unflattering clothing colour. However, the longt erm effects are not worth it. I know much better now, and if I could take back the damage I've already done, I would because it was pure stupidity.
Now a days, I tan myself with self-tanners (and wear sunscreen every single day). My favourite is L'Oreal Sublime (which as you can tell, I'm not wearing in these photos) for creating a great at-home tan. However, I must say, nothing beats a real spray-tan done at the salon. My fave is the Mystic Tan which a local tanning salon offers and I'm loving.
