The Blonde Diaries

Yesterday for my Wordless Wednesday post, I left you with a simple photo of gold ballet slippers but didn’t give any hints as to what they represented or why there was a great photo of used shoes. I thought today I’d share through photos how those shoes come into play.  These are from the getting ready phase of my wedding this past July.

Basically, they were my wedding shoes as I didn’t want to be taller than my groom.  I also wanted to spend my day in comfort so I just pulled these from my closet as I tend to wear them to work and on the weekends some and put them on.  They worked out wonderfully and I’m so glad I went with these over some other fancy shoe.  It is kind of funny to see how pretty they were in that photo yesterday since I wear them a lot and I didn’t bother to clean them at all.  LOL

Photos were taken by Morgan Lynn of MorganLynnPhotograhy.com and the photos were taken at the Magnolia Hotel in downtown Houston.

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for Tell Me Thursday. It will be on time this week I promise.

So yesterday I posted this photo for my weekly Wordless Wednesday meme. So now I’m going to tell you about it since it is…

So this photo is from the hair salon right before we headed over to the hotel to finish getting ready for the wedding. I had done a hair trial a few months earlier and my original style was more of a messy bun. That style was very tight and after wearing it for a few hours I decided it was not the style for me as the bobby pins started digging into my scalp. Ouch! So back to the drawing board I went.

I couldn’t find a photo of exactly what I wanted so I tried to find photos of fronts that I liked (ie bangs) and then described what I definitely didn’t want (slicked back, buns, french twitst, etc). I also had relatively short hair so my hair dresser instructed me to head to Sallys to get clip on extensions. So off I went the day before the wedding and ended up with a hair piece from the Paris Hilton collection in Paris Blonde which matched me fairly well.

Still not knowing exactly what I wanted, I just turned myself over to my hair dresser and 1 hair piece and 3 hours later I ended up with this masterpiece. It was nothing like I imagined but it was beautiful. It stayed the entire night with the help of a few extra bobby pins and just slid down a little but did not weigh me down or hurt. I think it took a good 30 minutes of me lying face flat on the bed to get the pins out at the end of the night but it was totally worth it.

So big props to Edward as he did a fabulous job. If you are in Houston go pay a visit to Marbella Spa & Salon.

Words can’t describe how awesome my hair stylist is so this photo will have to do. Come back tomorrow for Tell Me Thursday to hear all about this hair. LOL
