I'm so excited!

I'm so excited!

I just scheduled my e-pics with Duet! We're taking them on Roosevelt Island!!

Now its time to enlist the help of my LIW girls...

I'm in the process of finding a makeup artist/hair stylist for that day (pref. in queens or manhattan). If you have any reccomendations let me know.

I also want to find a cute sundress to wear. It seems that all the ones in stores are super flowy and loose and would make me look pregnant. I need something tighter and shows off my curves- so if anyone has seen anything or know of good stores to look in let me know.

Thanks girls! I'm so excited!!

Re: I'm so excited!

hey congrats!!! when are you taking them?

we are taking ours on june 3rd with duet....i am also trying to find someone in manhattan/queens for makeup. I have contacted Oksana but she is very slow in responding...honestly i might just end up going to a mac counter for my e-pic makeup if i cant find someone else that is convenient to go to that day...

Re: I'm so excited!

YAY!! CONGRATS!
I plan on scheduling my e-pics with Duet this week as well! When are you taking them? Were they booked really far in advance?

I am no help with dresses... I have such a hard time finding a dress. I feel like all the dresses I see are either juniors and too sweet sixteen-y or too old for me. Nothing in between

Re: I'm so excited!

What if you did a skirt and top combo instead of a dress? you will have much more options that way. You can find a flow-ey skirt and tight fitting tank underneath.

My hairdresser is in Manhattan if you want someone to blow out your hair. She's on 57th b/w park and madison. let me know if you want her info.

So Exciting!!!!

I saw some really cute dresses at Mandees this past weekend. And Macys some had some stuff too. And I'm pretty sure Oskana is in Queens.

I am looking for a summer dress as well and have no idea where to go. I don't like anything that I see. everything looks to me so unoriginal. let me know if u find something and where, I would love to go there myself

Sooo exciting!

I'm useless as far as any tips about hair and makeup.

Maybe H&M would have a cute sundress. I feel like it's either hit or miss with that store though.

Id have to agree with the other girls and say oksana. As for dresses, I just did this and I bought and returned about 10 desses for my epics. I ultimately found my dress at Jcrew, they have a ton of white or springy dresses that would look good for epics. Other options where I found stuff: Anthropologie, Nordstrom and Lord & taylor.

So exciting about the epics though!
