Shopping Extravaganza!

Last weekend Vanessa and I embarked on an incredibly fun-filled weekend of pampering and shopping. We went looking for wedding dresses (for me!) in Sacramento and decided to turn it into a major girly event. Since it was Conference weekend, we went up Friday night and stayed in Sac, got up the next morning to watch Conference (and gave ourselves facials, manicures, and pedicures while watching AND taking notes). Then it was off to the dress shop, where we had tons of fun and took lots of pictures. And I can't post them here for obvious reasons. But you'll see me in the final choice in about six months.

After the wedding dress extravaganza, we hit DSW and the Folsom outlets for a little retail therapy (weddings are stressful on a girl...). And as always, we had way too much fun together. The shoe store offered some particular delights.

My partner in crime!

The purse that doubles as lingerie!

We thought we had both found scary, ugly shoes, but I think I won with the sequined bits of ugliness. They are shoes a two-bit hooker would wear on Second Street. At least Vanessa's red selection puts her in the high-priced escort category.
I think these were the worse offender's in the store. I love Steve Madden shoes, but he let me down with this monstrosity. At least it gives Vanessa some ankle support.
I am fascinated by these shoes and would not mind owning a pair. I don't know where I would wear them, but I'm sure I could figure something out.
