The Texas State Fair is my love.

Good morning, lovies. It has been raining for (it feels like) weeks in Texas and temperatures are dropping (40 degree difference from only about 1 month ago).

What does that mean?

The FAIR IS ALMOST HERE!

This year, the TTSF will be even better than usual, since fiance and I are having our engagement shoot there. Yeah, I know, possible recipe for disaster. But possible recipe for awesomeness, too. hells-ya! I can picture it now-- he and I sharing a turkey leg, him winning me a 5-foot-tall panda bear, me and the carnie grinning at eachother, getting fried butter/oreos/snickers/ice cream/[insert any food you can imagine here] in my teeth... it's going to be great.

No, but seriously. I think it's one of the most photo-worthy sites, and I know we'll get a lot of fun, whimsical, Texas-like pictures. Best part? I'm wearing this:

Anthropologie's Bold Boutonniere Dress

It just looks adorable on, as Anthroholic will attest. I can't wait to post a picture in a few weeks of the final result at the shoot. Fiance is wearing a nice pair of jeans, a very fine black/tan mixed courdoroy jacket and a tee underneath. We're just going to be darling. :)

My only problem at the moment is what to wear with it. Heels are a bad idea at the fair, and the neckline is so pretty I don't want to muss it up with jewels. Any suggestions???

In other news, another round of Shop It To Me's Battle of the Brands is up. Im voting:
1. Alice and Olivia
2. J Brand (even though I'm a little mad at them becasue I can't fit into my normal size. Boo, J Brand. I'll still vote for you, though.)
3. Splendid (too comfy to pass up)
4. Betsey Johnson (too wacky to pass up)

And by the way, how the hell did 3.1 Philip Lim not win? Has anyone ever seen the gorgeousness that is PHILIP LIM?! I apparently think everyone should have my taste. Whatevs.

Visit http://blog.shopittome.com/2009/09/15/battle-of-the-brands/comment-page-1/#comment-22029 and vote on which brand you think should win in a college-bracket-like tourney. If you vote on each battle, you could win.... drumroll pleeeeeeease: Marc Jacobs accessories! Yes! Not only is this fun and silly, but with a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow, it's definitely well worth it. Join www.shopittome.com if you haven't yet-- you must be a member to win. (but no worries... it's totally easy.)

My picks? Definitely L.A.M.B., Black Halo, 3.1 Philip Lim and DVF. Hands down, lovies. It would be a blood bath. :) What do you think?!?!
