Otherwise known as Wedding #4 (if counting from the start of the year) - two more weddings to go this year!
This wedding was indeed special though because it was the wedding of my dear blogger and friend Odette. She had been dreading this day for quite some time - she despises being in the spotlight. But that aside, it was a great time for everyone involved, including the bride lol, and she looked absolutely stunning.
I took this opportunity to wear my Etros dress I had purchased a long time ago, and my Jeffrey Campbell Burb shoes.
Actually, that's a lie. I only wore the JC's while getting ready then thought I better wear flats just in case. I had a pair all planned out too, unfortunately the flats that I wanted to wear were broken and I had completely forgot about it. These were the Forever 21 studded sandals that I tried to sell last month and unfortunately had to cancel all order because the buckle broke and I couldn't fix them - and I didn't think $20 shoes were worth sending off to a cobbler.
So I taped the buckle on the shoe with a crapload of Scotch Tape - EEP! Don't think anyone noticed though :P
Dress: Etros; Heels: Jeffrey Campbell "Burbs"; Studded Sandals: Forever 21; Purse: Loefler Randall for Target
PS I won a contest with my fav Classic Rock station for the best Caeser recipe. Well, I'm a finalist, but either way it means I win free drinks, appies and prizes tomorrow at the Rock 101 event at Vancouver's Boathouse restaurant. I'm very excited - I made up my Caeser recipe on a whim and it ended up being selected for the top ten. If I win tomorrow, my drink gets featured on the Boathouse menu AND I win a 4-day houseboating adventure!!
I'm gonna dress the part too - thinking of wearing my new leather jacket and Lynrd Skynard tee-shirt, along with some jeans tucked into red Chloe boots! Hopefully my bad-ass "Classic Rock Radio Outfit" will ensure I win!! Oh, and here's hoping the drink wins them over too.
For those who are wondering (ie ALL you Americans...or actually, anyone outside of Canada) a Caeser is a take on the Bloody Mary and a must for everyone to try - it tastes a MILLION times better than a Bloody Mary too, refreshing and zesty. If you can find Mott's Clamato juice at your grocery store then go for it:
Lusty's Savory Saeser Submission:
1.5 ounces of lemon-flavoured Vodka
5-6 oz. of Clamato Juice
1 teaspoon or Worchestershire Sauce
a dash of Frank's Red Hot Sauce
pickled asparagus spears as garnish
1 tablespoon of pickled asparagus juice from bottle
1/2 teaspoon of anchovy paste
1/2 teaspoon of horseradish
rimmed with Spike seasoning and a lemon
PPS thanks for the kind comments on the Vertigo post. Look for more classic movie or music inspired posts once a week!
