Good sequined tops are so hard to find at a great price--namely because you want them to be of good quality and not short you on the details (frequent offender: sequins only on the front of the top/sweater--hate that!). So when I spotted this top at H&M in Las Vegas, I knew it was a great deal and well made. In fact, it was pretty much my only shopping purchase in Vegas--now how's that for self control?

(It may or may not have to do with the fact that a glass of water and crust of bread will cost you $22.50 at any given restaurant.)

Wedding is getting close! I have my beauty appointments (eyebrows, spray tan, unmentionables...check) lined up this week and I have to say, the stress is definitely taking its toll.

I have wedding nightmares (wedmares) and one of them involved our officiant forgetting the whole part about the rings, and I realized only after the entire wedding that we didn't have our rings on and they weren't blessed, etc. I was horrified. Never been so happy to wake up in a long time!

My back feels so tense all over, and even though I'm not a massage person ($$$ for 45 minutes of relaxation?)....it might be necessary this time.
