Disney Collection: Alfred Angelo

So, I believe it is fair to say that I have looked at hundreds of wedding dresses online.  It is also safe to say that one collection always brings me back, Alfred Angelo's Disney Bridal Collection. 

They have two series of princess dresses (suited to each Disney Princess of course!) for Cinderella, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Snow White, Tiana, and Rapunzel. I stumbled upon these amazing wedding dresses when I thought to myself one day "Humm.. I wonder if anyone has ever created a Disney wedding dress?"  Imagine my delight when I Googled it and there they were!

Cinderella

The second series of the dresses are out now (3rd for the Cinderella dresses) and I must admit I was disappointed.  I have a strong preference for the first series rather than the second (with exceptions of Jasmine and Belle second series).  These dresses are fairly priced and come in sizes 0 to 30W

Due to copying I could not post all of the photos of the dresses that I wanted to.  I encourage you to go to the site if you love Disney princesses as much as I do or wedding dresses for that matter!

Bought My Plane Ticket!

I bought my plane ticket to England! Yay! 

Okay so I know this is a late posting but give me a break it's the end of the quarter! 

I will be flying on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines from Syracuse, NY to London, England  (Heathrow airport) on May 30, 2012 and returning on July 25, 2012. I'm extremely excited for my summer adventure and am sure to keep you updated!

But first, my review on the best site to use for booking a flight!  And the winner is:

I absolutely love this site for booking my plane ticket. It is one of the best shopping bots in terms of finding the lowest price available.  Some people like other sites such as Kayak.com and bookingbuddy.com but TripAdvisor was able to search ALL of them. It even allows you to check the sites against their own search. It directed me to a flight from StudentUniverse.com . With StudentUniverse it allowed me to purchase my ticket at a student price as long as it verified that I was a student (it took about 10 mins).

TripAdvisor also gives customer reviews, hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants and things to do.  All you need to do is create a username and login.

TripAdvisor 

The only problem I saw with tripadvisor was that in different browsers it gave different prices. My friend was using Safari and I was using Chrome and it gave completely different prices and flights until she switched to different browser (Chrome and Firefox provided the cheaper prices). This however, could be a problem with the browsers itself. 

 

Pinterest

Oh no.  Week 8 is here and I have a new addition (besides blogging and Facebook). Pinterest.

Pinterest is a unique new social media that allows you to share cool things you find on the Internet with others similar to Tumblr and StumbleUpon.  However, this site allows you to organize what you find by 'pinning' photos onto 'boards.'  You can find a range of unique things on this site and share your own with people who follow you.

Example of my boards

When I was first invited, I was able to link my Pinterest through Facebook which automatically followed friends on Facebook that were also on Pinterest.  This allows you too look at your friends and others boards and 'pin' items you find unique to your board.

Boards can be divided into topics. For example I have Travel Across the World, So Much Food!, Movies, My Style, and of course Wedding Ideas.  It can be tailored to your specific personality and you can search for things that you are in the mood for.  I am in the mood to look at Wedding pins so Pinterest gives me just that.  While surfing on the Internet, Pinterest gives you a Pin bookmark that allows you to easily share anything you want with people on your Pinterest account.

Example of a Pin for Travel

Overall, this is a pretty good site and it is gaining the attention of many different people (specifically women who want to plan a wedding that is the common joke).  I think you should check it out to see if it's right for you! The only problem is that you need an invite to be able to sign up for an account.

Interested but don't know anyone on Pinterest? Comment and I will invite you!
