memoirs of a geisha

we had a very fun but very busy weekend - in a blink of an eye, it is almost over!

saturday morning i headed up to cincinnati to meet up with my wonderful friend christa to go shopping for bridesmaid dresses in the bridal district. this will be the 4th wedding i've been in, but the first where i've been the maid of honor and i'm very honored (sorry, couldn't think of a better description) and excited! our dress is from the brand "thread", and is called the serena, part of the party collection. here's a pic, just imagine it in a pretty navy. i really like it, it is not like any bridesmaid dress i've seen before.


i rushed home last night, only to head to a work function while ryan attended an engagement party for one of our friends. our sweet girl stayed home with her granny sharon (ryan's mom), who came down for a visit for the weekend. alexandra is blessed to have wonderful grandparents who love her very much and adore spending time with her - we think this is the 9th weekend in a row she has seen at least one set of grandparents or great-grandparents!

sharon's sister, karen (alexandra's great-aunt), was in thailand recently on a mission trip and brought alexandra back the cutest kimono and pant set. ryan mentioned that she looked like a little geisha - with my limited knowledge set about geishas, we will just limit the similarities to the outfit!!

OMG! That is too cute! I love the last one where you can get the full effect of the whole outfit.

Love the dress you found for Christa's wedding as well. I'm so glad the trend has changed to "wear-again-dresses" after all my friends are already married! I'm still waiting to wear my orange, yellow, purple, and maroon dresses again!
