Dress Shopping!!!!

I will be going wedding dress shopping for the first time on Memorial Day Weekend when Lance and I take a trip to Atlanta. We aren't officially engaged yet, but we will be before Memorial Day Weekend!! :) I am going to go with Lance's mom, Kim, and my good friend, Erin, from Montgomery.

I have been stalking a Mon Cheri Dress called Alice for the last couple of months and it will be my chance to try it on. (Didn't want to post a picture of the dress just in case Lance reads my blog)

Here are the couple wedding dress shops that I'm going to check out in Atlanta, GA.

Nashville's Flooding

It's been raining non-stop here in Nashville for the last two days. Not a great start to May!

I've been watching the news and reading articles online. It's been reported that 8 Tennesseans are dead (RIP) and Mayor Karl Dean has declared a countywide state of emergency for my county of Davidson.

I pray we don't hear of any more deaths before everything is said and done. According to weather.com, it should stop raining tomorrow at 6 a.m. and the water should start drying up.

Check out more Tennessee flooding pictures below at the Tennessean.com!

Victoria's Secret Wish List

The Victoria's Secret magazine came in the mail today and I've pin-pointed some dresses that I have my eye on.

Pleated Sleeveless Halter Playdress
Color: Beach Blue
Price: $59 (on sale)

This dress also comes in white, citronella and lilac haze. I would love it in all of them except white. Not a huge fan of solid white dresses unless it's a wedding dress of course! :)

Rib Racerback Tank Dress
Color: Black
Price: $65 (on sale)

This dress also comes in cocoa, navy and very berry. I love the black and the navy is super cute too! Not a fan of cocoa or very berry because of the weird color combos.
