Only 2 days left until the pageant! I just emailed my submission for the essay contest, I selected my pictures for Most Photogenic and I got in an AWESOME workout! Now I just have to do is get a mani/pedi, get my hair done and pack! Things are suprisingly calm in the Datil house, considering all the things that need to be done in the next couple of hours!

On the train home to Philly today I was reciting my pageant introduction to the entire car. They loved it! The big day is getting sooo close! I can't wait to deliver it in front of the crowd on Saturday :) Wish me luck!

Mom and I drove out to Deleware today to visit the Simplydresses boutique.  I tried on some FABULOUS gowns but at the end of the day it came down to just two! A sexy/flowy red dress or a form fitting purple one. Which one do you think I picked?!?! I can't wait to show everyone the pictures after pageant day!

So Mom and I were walking down fabric row in Philly today in search of a fabulous broach and sparkly buttons for my pageant suit. Well, not only did we find all of those things in RECORD time, we also found a tailor that TRANSFORMED my suit in ONE HOUR. Yes, in one hour, she removed 4 inches from my jacket, added a peplum and turned my skirt into a curve hugging master piece! Do I love her? Oh yes I do! Did I mention that she did all of this for the lovely cost of $45! I know... best day ever, right?! Thank you, Ahn! You are a ma

I ordered my interview shoes today! They are gorgeous nude 5' Audrey Brooke's. Check them out!

So this weekend I order a dress online. It was a peach, one-shoulder gown with crsytal details on the should and waist. I thought that it wold be perfect! Not so much! I ordered the dress a size too big and the color was all wrong. I defintely need to go with a bolder color ...purple, red, blue..we shall see!

Ok so this hunt for the PERFECT dress is no easy task! Which silhouette will looks best, which color should I choose, sparkly or simply elegant?! So many choices! Ahhhh!

Simplydresses.com seems to be a great resource... I'll keep scrolling through the pictures.
