Toasted coconut...

Almost married a year.

On September 26th 2009, it will be our one year wedding anniversary! As we all know and say repeatedly - time flies. Speaking of time, I just finished The Time Traveler's Wife, and it was fantastic. I really enjoyed the way the author wrote it, she takes you through such a wonderful journey of the power of love over time. I am dying to see the movie, although I'm sure they couldn't fit in every detail that the book has to offer. In honor of our one year anniversary, I, Justine, bought a new dress. Surprised? I didn't think so. However, this dress is very unique and I am excited to share it via blog! I found it on Adore Vintage - a site that sells vintage inspired pieces as well as actual vintage pieces from the 30's to the 80's. The dress I bought is a 1960's party dress and they call it toasted coconut which is probably why it appealed to me so much (big coconut fan) but the dress will be a perfect tribute our vintage glam wedding. Oh, and not to mention, I got it at a steal - $42!!! We are most likely going to dine at Sprazzo (read about Sprazzo below!) and then head to The Edison to listen to live jazz and surround ourselves in an exquisite looking "speak-easy" while sipping The Mistress (a yummy twist on the pomegranate martini but with champagne added)

I will pair this little number with gold strappy shoes from Nine West, minimal jewelery, and red lips. Of course. I love the combination of the cream and sage green sequins, so rare...
