We parked outside of Nordstrom and as we walked through the store to get to the boutique in the mall, we got a little sidetracked by these beauties:
Stuart Weitzman Beauties
How gorgeous would these be as wedding shoes?
Shoes from the Side
I'll Just Wear These Out...
Sadly they come with a $400 price tag, so these pretty little shoes were placed right back on the stand. 😉
After the shoe fun, we headed to Cici’s Boutique to look at the mother of the bride dresses they had in stock as part of their trunk show.
Cici's Boutique
They had a lot of dresses to look at, but many looked too matronly and a little dated. I think we all envision my mom in something shorter and more fun.
My mom, sister and I all really liked this dress:
Potential Mother of the Bride Dress
The dress comes with a beautiful shawl as well.
We’re not sure if this is the dress she’ll wear, but it’s in the running!
On our way back out to our car, we made a pit stop into Victoria’s Secret for their semi-annual sale (which Ryan calls their bi-weekly sale because it seems to happen every other week).
I’m always amazed at some of the stuff they sell in there!
Ehhh, No Thanks
Large sparkly beading on the side of underwear doesn’t exactly scream comfort (or sexy) to me…
Lunch
All that shopping made us hungry!
We came home and made imitation crab meat salad sandwiches. On the side I enjoyed broccoli slaw with ginger dressing, fresh pineapple and peanuts in the shell.
Lunch
Pineapple
Jumbo Roasted Peanuts
Peanuts in the shell are such a treat! They make me feel like I’m at a baseball game or something.
I’m off to get some sun outside and read the second Percy Jackson book. Days off of work sure are niiiice. 😉

Oh my love affair with shoes…
I really like that Mother of the Bride dress! Such a pretty color and very classy.
love that mother of the bride dress!!!!
and looove those shoes. wow, that’s a hefty price tag though…
Those shoes are gorgeous! You’ll find the perfect pair at a much nicer price though.
I just ordered 3 pairs of yoga pants from the Victorias Secret sale for 12.99 a pair! What a deal?! they have a bunch of cute swimsuits on sale, too. I’m having a hard time choosing.
oooh those are pretty shoes! ok, VS is nuts sometimes. i’m like REALLY? they can have some really pretty stuff and then some downright skanky stuff! the 80s bathing suits this year are killing me!
Those shoes are GORGEOUS!!! Buuuuut I can’t imagine spending $400 on shoes that are hidden under a long dress and probably kicked off later in the evening for dancing 🙂
Buuuut if you go with a super short dress, then I say rock out with the $400 ones! haha
Have a great weekend!!!

I Love the shoes also- but I’m not sure they are worth $400:( Maybe you can find some like them. Also understand the Mom shopping. My Mom is tiny (like 5 5 and 115 lbs tiny) shopping with her is hard! Also that thong is crazy- that looks so anti sexy
gorgeous shoes… and hahahaha what is that underwear!? How would that flower fit in um, pants? I guess it’s probably not meant to be worn with clothes over top but wow, that’s a BIG flower.
ahh shoes…one day…jimmy choo and christian Leboutain amaaaazing designers not to mention stuart wietzman as well! I love them all!
hahaah totally agree with you on vickys secret items…i go in there and think “do people ACUITALLY buy these things?!”
PS…What is broccoli slaw?? Looks yumm
it’s awesome! it’s finely sliced broccoli… you can buy it in a pack at the grocery store in the section w/ pre-sliced veggies.
Jasmine Bridal has some great line (Jade) for Mother of the Bride dresses that don’t really look like the typical mother-of-the-bride-looks-like-it-fell-into-a-bottle-of-sequence type dress, my mom and mother-in-law found their dresses from that designer, and I think a lot of boutiques should sell the Jade line. I also got my bridesmaid dresses from the B2 collection! I guess I could be considered the unpaid spokeswoman for them
Those shoes are pretty!! Too bad they’re so pricy!! I think mine were more like $40! 🙂
Happy Friday!! 🙂
GORGEOUS pair of shoes! That was daring of you to try them on…I don’t think I would have let myself…temptation would have been too much! 🙂
1) broccoli slaw is the best, and
2) i wore beautiful stuart weitzmans at my wedding but they are silver (you couldn’t see them under my dress) and I have worn them so many times since then to fancy events. I love that every time I wear them I am reminded of our wedding day, and it doesn’t hurt that I got them on sale (bloomingdales is currently having a shoe sale so it doesn’t hurt to check it out).
Those shoes are pretty yes but the pink ones you posted before are SUPER cute too!!
Those shoes are beautiful!! The price…umm not so much. Haha 🙂 That dress is also pretty, best of luck finding all the perfect stuff 😀
This is probably a dumb question, but is that a special type of broccoli in the broccoli slaw?
& I love the shoes as well! But goodness $400 is a lot!
gah! love love love those shoes! i think your mama should get them to go with that swanky dress haha.
ahh those shoes are gorgeous! i love your skirt also! xx
Those shoes are AWESOME!!!!!
hahahaha- those Victoria Secret findings are ALWAYS so funny!! I’m like when EVER would I wear such a thing??! & LOVE the shoes 🙂
