Hi guys, Kristina here!
I’m so excited Amelia suggested that I
guest blog this week! As you know from
her previous post, she and I went to Fort Lauderdale earlier this month for a
fun-filled Bachelorette weekend in celebration our mutual friend, Jordan. Well, this past Sunday was the big day - the
wedding! Lucky for me, Amelia lives only
half an hour away from the wedding venue Jordan chose. So, upon receiving the invitation, I
immediately called Amelia and requested to stay in her cutest-of-cutestguest rooms! Being the bestie
she is, she graciously agreed.
My husband, Dylan, and I got into Dallas on Sunday around noon
and, having foregone our usual travel breakfast of Whataburger, we were
starving! Thank goodness Ryan came to
the rescue by proposing lunch at Torchy’s Tacos. If you haven’t been to Torchy’s,
you’re missing out. These
tacos are amazing, but the names are even better! I don’t know if you’re like this, but I
like things so much more when they have interesting names. Exhibit A:
Nail Polish. You pick up a gray
nail polish at the store. It’s
pretty. But, then, you read the bottom,
and it’s called “French Quarter for Your Thoughts”. Now, it’s going in the
cart! You totally understand,
right? Haha. Well, Torchy’s originated in
Austin and, because of its proximity to the Capitol, many of the tacos have
political names. When you go, if you’re
really hungry, you can order The Democrat, The Republican, and The Independent
in a single trip!
After a light lunch…. (Wait. Who am I kidding?) After we stuffed our faces, we split up - as
we usually do: girls and guys. Us girls
went shopping and the guys went back to the house to play video games. Amelia stuck to her guns and did not buy
anything that would jeopardize her “no clothes, handbags, shoes, or
accessories” streak. However, we
went to Target, and she found some returned Lilly Pulitzer lounge chairs! Not going to lie, loading these in her 2-door
car was a bit of a struggle…but well worth it! After Target, we hit TJ Maxx and Ulta. And, yes, I have these stores in The
Woodlands. But, Amelia is not in The
Woodlands, and shopping with her is what it’s all about!
The wedding. Despite the torrential
downpours and thunderstorms Texas has been privy to recently, the weather held
out! The ceremony was held in a chapel
encased with windows; these windows displayed the trees and other surrounding
greenery. There were minimal
decorations, as the natural light and foliage were gorgeous themselves! It was just beautiful. The reception was a blast too. Like our Photo Booth pics?
Let’s talk about our dresses. Eliza J knows what she’s doing. You’ve probably seen Amelia in one or two
- or twenty - dresses by this designer.
The feminine prints and the fit-and-flare shapes are so flattering! I had been eyeing the dress I wore for…I
don’t know…maybe 6 months or so. Although she’s not shopping,
Amelia still loves perusing sites to find deals for others! It’s her thing. I’m glad this is her thing! She notified me of every Dillard’s
sale and extra percentage off and, finally, I was able to snag this dress for
65% off! To celebrate, we opted to wear
our Eliza J dresses together to the wedding.
Want to know the best thing about these dresses? Pockets.
I could go on and on, but it’s late and I need
sleep. Thank you all for allowing me to
guest post! ’Til next time,
blogger bees!
