I got this ugly thing:

I'm taking a motorcycle class in a few weeks so I bought my helmet today. Got $100 off the style I chose by getting the 2010 version with the terrible graphics. I plan to cover it with black and white stickers which will still be not very beautiful, but hopefully less awful than this.

Also: shopping for jackets is hard! They all have terrible graphics all over them. Purple flames and pink flowers and hearts and crosses and rhinestones and stars. Ughhhh. I didn't get a jacket today because I couldn't bring myself to drop so much money on such tackiness.

 

ETA: And this dress:

ETA #2: And these hair sticks:

I just bought a one-shoulder LBD from Zara that I plan on wearing out next Friday for dinner.  No pic online, but it's a pretty basic, form-fitting one shoulder little black dress.
Also bought a silver leaf necklace from Zara, no pic online either but it's fairly substantial, two leaves coming together in the center. They had a pastel enameled piece that I kind of wish I'd gotten.

I haven't won it yet but I'm bidding on this 3-piece set to add to my drawer of pretty.  I kind of fell in love with the grey.

Oh, almost forgot. Bought these shoes & I love them!

 We'll see how soooooo cool I am when the instructor realizes I've never driven a manual and have to literally be taught how to turn a motorcycle on

We gotour sachets for confetti  some days ago - we'll give it to our guests on our wedding day. We bought them from Unicef

 
Sacchetto portaconfetti con bigliettino
 
Invitations should be on their way (sorry huge pics):
 
 
 
I loved the rough paper. These are from Emergency.
 
And we bought also confetti sachets for our colleagues at work. We'll probably give them at the beginning of June:
 
 
 
 
Also from emergency.
 
Wedding bands are picked, we should just give the OK to the store. And we have to order confetti to fill all the sachets (5 each).
 
Tomorrow we are going to shop for groom's suit...

Good thrifting day!

- SUPER COOL single breasted military-style jacket, black with dark red piping and dark nickel buttons. It looks like it could have been part of a band uniform but the fabric isn't tacky and it's fully lined. Label says "Ames," which means nothing to me.

- Retro/pinup cherry-print cotton dress very much like this one, but a bit less fancy, with bra-friendly straps in the same fabric, a tulle crinoline and a red ribbon belt. I promise I won't wear it very often.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Retro-50s-Style-Black-Red-Cherries-Pinup-Rockabilly-Sundress-Large-/290681209305?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&hash=item43adf341d9

- A short cotton dress/tunic with a sash at the waist, v-neck, in a black/brown/red/tan boho print. Never worn or washed. It has floppy hippie sleeves which I will fix (shorten to cap sleeves, probably). I don't really own sundressy things, so I thought it would be handy in the summer. I can also wear it with a cardigan and tights later.

$20 for all three.

Plus mousse and a little fold-up reusable shopping bag to keep in my purse. It's black with white polka dots.

It is nice. I am wearing it on my fingernails now. It's sheer, so I layered it over an orangey-red (that I don't use alone because, well, it's more orangey than I thought). It will be good on toes in the summer.

I also dropped $25 at ELF on 15 items total, including one of their higher-priced studio brushes, gray liquid eyeliner that is almost always sold out, and other random junk.

PSA: Today they have a Groupon ($15 for $30) but it's only good on their studio and mineral lines.
