my brother in law is getting married this july in the dominican republic, {so excited to go back there!!!} and when we return, he and his bride will be having a wedding reception here in cali. on the coast. so, of course i need to dresses for this very, very special occasion, right?? naturally, i turn to my beloved dress designer betsey johnson. these are what we, i mean i, came up with,,,

for starters,,, i dare you, double dog dare you to find a dress cuter then this baby, and more my style. i swear this dress has ally*cakes on the label. i so, so, SO need this dress. right?? holy smokes, i cant barely breath right now!!!

holy cuteness,,, love this baby. now i think i might know what youre thinking, this dress is too light for a wedding. like im wearing white to the wedding. they {bride and groom} actually have asked us to wear white. so of all ive listed, this one is actually the closet to their request, although none of them really meet there requests one hundred percent. but even the next dress below, i wanted that one first so i asked my future sister in law if it was okay and she love she LOVED it!!! so, pretty much, they want us light colored, i think my mother in law would prefer the all white thing {???}

i loveeeeeeee this baby,,, totally my style as well,, precious. love.

a little seersucker action anybody?? love this,, and i think rica is wearing seersucker pants,,, this might just work,,,

this dress is so pretty,, and im not against wearing black to a wedding reception, especially if there are adorable gloves attached like this. are you serious?? i wanna live in betsey johnsons head,,, i bet its such a cool land up there in her noggin.

and there you have it. i need at least two of these,,, oh yeah, and by the way, since betsey and i are on a first name basis, i get to pick two for free!!!!

,,,sike,,, wouldnt that be rad?!?! really though, that would be the only way i could talk my husband into getting any of these pricey dresses for me {sad, sad, spoiled brat face}

since valentines day is coming right on up,,, i found it appropriate to share my favorite betsey johnson numbers for love day,,,

starting off with this number,,, you know, since a lot of friends get engaged on valentines day,, this is a fun necklace,,,

totally awesome,,, totally year 'round worthy,,,

girly and totally dainty,,, love these earrings,,,

bag o' bones,,, love it!! im still not over the skeleton thing,, still totally love it!!!

such a sweet top,,

love this bag ~ but in purple,,, i might just happen to own this one,,,

rad shades,,,

this shirt is so cute ~ not just for valentines day,,,

love the lip bag ~ also not just for valentines day, but sweet non the less,,

i love betsey johnson for having adorable girly girl dresses with wicked patterns,,, seriously, pterodactyls on a charming little blue number with lace trim?? genius,,, tulle petti-skirt with skull print?? a dress that would totally work wonders for any super frilly fancy pants evening {that im usually never a part of},, but a girl can window shop all she wants, yes?? love these,,,

i love october and i love betsey johnson ~ how perfect to combine the two. halloween and miss betsey. she did just that,,, and here are my favorite jewelry items,,,

a betsey jack-o-lantern necklace?? yes, please. pretty please.

these earrings with the bats and hearts are precious,,, i love how she always does earrings at two different lengths,,, i used to rock that look forever ago,,, maybe we all did??

i love skulls,,, always have. i have a betsey necklace similar to this beauty, so of course, i love this one as well. mine has more black on it though,,, still, theyre both cute. are fun for halloween,,, although i wear mine year round, wore it to a wedding over the summer. ;-)

more fun un-even length earrings, but with spiders. i love that one is going up and one is heading down,,, fun!!

represents all of the fun items i have fallen in love with. its got the spiders, spider webs, skulls, hearts,,, flowers,,, black!! i love black so much!! and i love bracelets toooooo,,,

so pretty. a black tulip necklace, just for october?? nah,,, another year round piece if you ask me,,,

and finally,,,, this bulky black rose with raven necklace,,, i love the pink rhinestones, of course, but the lips with the fangs hanging off the clasp in the back is such a charming touch,,, loves.

do you like the betsey johnson thing ive been doing lately?? i sure do, but i dont wanna bore you. not at all. i think she is oh so amazing and her style brings me inspiration, and at very least a smile to my heart. she stands on her own two feet, and i love that. these are actually from an older line, but you would never know if they were ten years old or two weeks, she does what she feels. not what is *current*, she, herself is current, and thats all that matters,,, how admirable,,, these were my favorite from this collection,,, enjoy,,,

i was checking out the betsey johnson runway spring 2011 line,,, these were my favorites,,, most runway gear, you wouldnt rock in public,,, which would may be the case for most of these,,, or maybe i just need a place to go,,, but in each photo,,, im gonna pass on the *ride me* necklace,,, not really my stilo to rock something like that,,,

okay, the chick riding the skateboard in those heels?? total bonus points!!!

love this,,, just ordered something very similar to it on etsy,,, you know, but it isnt a bathing suit type thing,,, its a dress ;-)

love the dress,, not so much the number on the left,,, just my opinion,,, ;-) but the rain boots are perfect with each outfit, for sure!!!

two way tie for my favorite dress,, this one,,,,

and this one,,, *sigh*,,, these are precious and perfect and lovely,,,

love the dress,,, not so much the business suit outfit,,, again, just my opinion,,, ;-)

awwww,,, a cute little sailor number,,, representing my baby brother ;-)

whoa,,, adorable and bright,,, where was this when i went to prom??

and again, another piece of magic,,, i love this,,,

isnt she just amazing?? love her,,,
