Ummm

What happened to my hair? I looked at myself in the mirror and then googled pics of Sebastian Back to make myself feel better... but alas, he looks WAY better (his hair is actually quite beautiful). What happened? I'm sorry Scott, I have really let myself go in the one month two days that we have been married.

I found this pic and thought, "well, atleast I look better than her"... but

I think I tie her more than beat her:

And now I am officially wasting my day looking at mullet pictures:

Inspirations, Ideas... things i dont want to forget...

It is 23 days until our wedding. Yikes.

I still have lots of fun ideas that I dont want to forget.

I want to make a couple of banners. One that says "We're better together", one that says "Just Married", one that says "Mr" and one that says "Mrs" for our chairs, and one that says "Love is so sweet". Dont forget!

I want my hair to be this color: found using GOOGLE.

I also need a sign that says "Elysia + Scott= heart" for the outside of the gate at Point 16. Found here.

Hair, or more specifically bangs.

I read some article in Vanity Fair or some mag like that last month about the ten things that have been making women ugly since invention. Or I guess the author said "not helping" women but regardless. One of the things listed was bangs. Eff that.

I love finding brides who rock the bangs. Thank you, previous brides for the inspiration. I hope I look half as cute as these ladies (duh).

Hair

My hair is fried. Straight up. I had platinum blonde hair all through college and I am still pretty blonde today. It is a miracle I have any hair at all (my man has found my hair in his mouth on more than one occasion- yuck, I know). But I do. I am not good at pulling off the “sophisticated” look when it comes to hair- or any part of me, really… I have blonde, stringy, sometimes wavy, always looking like it may need a brush run through it, hair. I think I just described it poorly, because I also really like my hair… its cool.

We are having a “mellow” Big Sur wedding- I want natural make up, sandals, sunglasses, sun tans, a fire pit, etc. but I also want bad ass hair. I have been wondering what I was going to do- and I keep getting drawn back to my girl-
I am just wondering if I can pull it off while still looking natural. Big ass flower on the side- consider me happy.

And I also want fake eyelashes- i figure if I keep the rest natural I can pull it off. I'm thinkin 1970's boho beach chic... Heck yeah.

Dear Diary

I was having lunch on the grass with one of my best girlfriends yesterday and we somehow got to talking about blogs… she had mentioned that at one point she had attempted a blog of her own VanNuysHousewife. She said she ultimately stopped the blogging because she was tired of trying to be witty on the internet when she was the only person reading it. I was chuckling to myself thinking- no one knows that I started this silly little project, and unless I tell friends, no one will ever read it.

This is fine. I started this little blog, which is actually only a journal (since no one will ever read it), as a way to gather my thoughts. I have twice lost my email group that I sent to myself with all of my genius ideas and pictures. I am also incredibly bored and unsatisfied with my job- so it is a great way to kill and hour, or eight, a day. Is that bad? Well, since I am the only one reading this- thus the only person who can answer this- hell no it isn’t bad- your job freaking blows.

I really did start this as a way to stay organized for the wedding though… for example- here is what I would like to do to my hair for the rehearsal dinner. I think it is fabulous and ridiculous and I also think the only time in my life that I will be able to do something like this. BAM! Who's the bride now?
from ruffled.

I think this is so soft and earthy and just oozes pretty summer bride. I am going to be very simple on my wedding day so this will be my "statement" that will set me apart from all the others at the rehearsal (or at least you will be able to see the top of my head through the swarm of people we are going to be surrounded by the whole time- this makes me very uneasy). AND- I have one batshit crazy friend who will probably show up in a bridal gown so this wil help people tell who is who from afar.
