{honeymoon} shopping success!

couldn't resist the urge to go to target and check out the suits...we first stopped by department stores and boutique shops where bikini tops alone were $68 or so. really? that's messed up..so on to target we went...and scored! the entire ensemble below was right around $60.

this thing is awesome! not only is it incredibly soft, but you can wear it as a dress or a skirt..i'm using it as a cover-up for my cute new suit! but beware..the sizes run big.

for some reason, this suit looks really weird in this pic, but i promise you, it is adorable on. it totally enhances my bewbie area and the drawers are not that big...the rings on the side can be adjusted making it more of a low-rider than shown here.

these flips are incredibly comfortable and affordable. we saw some yesterday for over $50. for flip-flops. does anyone else find this disturbing?

now all i need is a big red floppy hat..

on another note, i got this (only in gold) to go with my rehearsal dinner dress...isn't it super sweet?

{groomsmen} bummer.

i promised aunt kerry that i wouldn't blog about this..but now that it's not happening the way we planned, i think it's ok to share...

this was probably the most exciting part about our nashville trip and the fh was such a trooper! we stopped by a fab. men's tailor/clothing store where the fh picked out vests and ties for himself and the groomsmen to be handmade especially for them! he did such a great job on picking out the fabric (and i certainly didn't mind that the yellow and grey kind of went out the window at this point..the more color, the better!):

the vest material:
fh's tie:


and for the groomsmen ties:


but unfortunately, we just found out that the fabric for the ties is no longer available! boo!

sigh.

but the good news is that the owner is super awesome and has great taste! (so hopefully he can find something comparable). he made us feel comfortable and helped us decide on what to do instead of pushing us into what he thought we should do. top notch service and great loot to boot...if you are in the nashville area, be sure to swing by j. michaels for your man.

{ideas} newsboy caps?

i just adore this pic (unsure of where i grabbed it from, if it's yours, please let me know so i can give you credit):

i showed it to the fh, and he was excited with the idea of using the ivy style caps for the groomsman. so we are seriously thinking about it...they will all have on the same color pants...a khaki linen, and they will all have the same white shirts...but different ties and now possibly different little hats! here are some ideas...
