rad link wednesday (a couple days late)

I know, I know, it's Friday. I'm sorry, it's been a crazy week. Nevertheless, please enjoy!

A truly radical psychedelic secret garden.

Really neat blog.

L A V E N D E R  mojito anyone?

This made me LOL.

I just bought this dress. It felt very Mad Men to me.

I also just bought these fabulous shoes. They felt very G L A M rock, which I (obviously) love.

A beautiful wedding, I am obsessed with the bride's dress.

Have some extra time? Read some Steve Lopez articles, I love him.

Still have time to kill? Listen to some Radiolab episodes.

An old NY Times Article in defense of simpler cocktails. Word.

Very cool product, turns a canning jar into a travel mug.

A bunch of really cool cosmic stuff.

Breaks and Bridal Gowns

On Thursday Dusty and I are heading up to Sacramento to stay with friends for a long weekend. Thank goodness, we need the break! I'm really looking forward to being able to relax for a few days as school and life have been quite busy. What are you doing this weekend (I know, I know, it's only Tuesday)?


Also, please check out BHLDN, Anthroplogie's new bridal line, it's pretty much amazing. I know I already bought my dress but I'm obsessed with how lovely this gown is. What do you think?

I just found out today via one of my favorite blogs, that Anthropologie is coming out with a wedding collection. The new line can be found here starting on Valentine's Day. I'm super excited to see what they have, I'm sure much of it will be out of my price range but it'll be good for inspiration at the very least. What do you think?

The Dress

 Dusty and I had just set a date for sometime in late June 2012 when I happened to find the dress of my dreams. I was searching the J. Crew website and  found this lovely dress (above) on sale for $298.00, I whipped out my debit card and bought the dress that day, only to find that the very next morning the dress had dropped in price again--down to $200.00! I called J. Crew customer service and am pleased to report that they were extremely nice and refunded me the $98.00. Best of all the dress fits perfectly! I only have to have it hemmed a tiny bit because I'm not going to be wearing heels. I feel super fortunate and can't wait to be wearing it. Did you get any great deals when planning your wedding? If you aren't married yet (and someday want to be/can legally be) do you plan on being a thrifty bride or do you have your heart set on a beautiful designer gown?
