Announcing..

My new blog. (It is in progress, template to be completed this evening).

http://melissavegas.blogspot.com/

I will not be posting to my diet blog any longer. I don't feel I'm really doing it justice as solely a diet-related blog.

I will leave this blog up, but no more posts to it :)

I will also be discontinuing my lasvegasbride blog (though I LOVE the website address). My planning is done, so no need.

I will be keeping my LJ, so that I may still read my friends lists, but again, no more posts.

I hope you'll join me on the new blog!

148.0 this morning. Yippee :)

Another post about clothes :)

After my last post, I said, lets see what Polyvore can do. I am new to it. But I love that you can put in a color (for example, "mustard") and up come hundreds/thousands of combinations of outfits you can put together! I used one I found from the mustard search to help me put together my outfit for tomorrow.

What do you think?

I used my mustard shoes as my starting point. Put it with my dark gray cords, a white t shirt, and a 3/4 sleeve black cardigan over it. Added gray pearls, a silver & black ring, sparkly antique dangly earrings, and my mustard yellow & amethyst bracelet. Not too shabby!

Of course this outfit will prove difficult when going in for tanning tomorrow evening, but, one thing at a time!

Shannon made me a series of polyvore outfits, like the one below. I'm left wondering, why does everything look so fab when placed together on a screen, and on me, it doesn't. Like this outfit. It's fairly simple. The accessories aren't anything too fancy. And I could probably make something very similar from my current closet. Yet...doesn't look as good on me in person! Why is that?

I'm determined to start piecing (sp?) together outfits & accessories the way Shannon has done them, because it just seems awesome. But I don't think I'll ever look as good as all this stuff looks on a blank page. I don't think its just me though. I think, its that the pieces really DO look better as individual pics on a page than they do on a person. Even a celeb. :)



Ghost Tours by ShannonF27 featuring Dorothy Perkins bracelets

Ran 1 mile tonight, and did arms :)

Made some tasty, totally unhealthy, homemade mac & cheese for dinner (after I did my workout!)

Weighed in still at 149 this morning. I'm super psyched that, even with weighing in almost daily since I stopped trying to lose weight, I haven't hit 150 again :) I'm maintaining. I thought it was going to be so hard to do!

A follow up on the previous 3 posts

Please read the 3 posts and comment if you have any :) I know a few people occasionally read the blog, the more opinions, the merrier :)

By the way, Shannon, somehow, in my itunes collection, i actually had the radio version of Dirrty. So yay, I get to keep it! :)

The dance music. What do you think? I think the ratio of slow to fast is good. White Wedding is the father/daughter dance. We'll insert cake cutting somewhere before the Village People, and after the VP, Brad and I have to get some pics done for about a half hour. Its a 2.8 hour playlist, most likely, the end won't get played.

Cake Cutting:

Post 1 of 3

Opinions please? "Final" Dance playlist. We start with the bridal party intro (Ever Ever After), move into our first dance (A Groovy Kind of Love), then right into dinner music. I have a 1.8 hour playlist, but I don't think dinner will be that long. Does this look good?

I think you can click to make it bigger.

Lookie what Shannon made for me!!!
