I Love You, Burlington Coat Factory.

So, today me and my mother embarked on a little journey. I had to drive to "Witch City" Salem, Ma (actually where I was born) to meet up with my cousin to sell her my phone. For one, before I tell you about shopping I have to vent about not having a smart phone! I am in total withdrawal from my Mytouch 3G. I have had it for the last 3 years and its been less than 24 hours without it and I wanna rip my hair out. PJ picked up a cute little At&t (prepaid) blackberry for me, until I get my taxes back and can get a new (prepaid) smart phone. But until then... even with this blackberry.... I am going nuts. I keep touching the dinky little screen with my finger to navigate, then realize its not touch screen, the facebook app is completely different, I cant upload pictures directly to any networking site, it sucks!!!! I cannot cannot cannot wait to go back to a droid.

Anyways - after we met up with the fam, we stopped at Burlington Coat Factory, which I had never been. It was HEAVEN! Walked in and immediately an array of purses and accessories awaited me. Leopard slippers, boots, shoes, coats, leggings, bathin suits.... a shopper's DISCOUNT heaven <3

Here is what I got and I cannot wait to go back:

Wedding Veil & Shoes.

My Mother Made my Veil & Headband

And I love them both. They look amazing. I was really worried because I didnt want the veil to be too long, or too short, or too tacky and detailed. But the veil came out amazzzziinnngg. And she just needs to finish the headband. Which I told her to stick a few tiny purple crystals on it aswell as a few more clear ones. Making a veil yourself for $30 beats buying one from David's Bridal - they run anywhere from $50 to $300 and probably even more. This veil my mother made, with all the detail, would probably be close to $300. So I am very happy that she did this for me. I can't wait to see it in person <3

And lastnight I fell asleep thinking about my shoes. I know the type of style that I am looking for (as seen above) but considering I am 266 lbs not sure if I will actually be able to walk in any of the shoes that I love. So maybe I could find a similar shoe, with a smaller, chunkier heel, and if it doesnt have all the sparkly bling on it, I can just do it myself. I really like the 2nd shoe here the best. The first would be one that I would bling up myself. It'd be perfect if I could find any of these shoes in white. But on David's Bridal website they only came in silver or gold. Blaaaahhhh.

Anyways- just wanted to blog before I get my day started. Seem like when I express myself in the morning I chat less at work haha. No way. Never. I am a talk-a-holic and I never shut up lol. Everyone have a good Monday!
