This was hard to do after my August Tagging but I have been tagged by Jessica Lynn at tying the knot!

First, here are the rules:

1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog. 2. Share 7 random and or weird things about yourself. 3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs. 4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I love love love Christmas! I am always dying to put our tree up. I love going to see the Myer Christmas windows every year. I also love the Crown Christmas display which has this fun vibe about it (if not spooky with the monkeys!) and I love the big tree in the city centre. I really love Christmas movies like The Santa Claus and Miracle on 24th St too and get teary during Carols by Candlelight!

2. I buy shoes that are too tall for me, then I totter around pretending I can wear them. That’s what boys are for- to catch you when you fall!

3. I have an issue where I blurt out what’s in my head, even it has nothing to do with what we’re talking about, but in my head it has a perfectly clear path! This causes a bit of frustration for those around me!

4. I participated in NoJoMo last month, where it’s a requirement to blog every day for a month. But I kept forgetting to post that that was what i was doing!

5. I love dresses. I really do. I love to twirl, I love the girly girly feel of them but I CANNOT find one this season! I can’t wear the smock lock, it does nothing for me. Please bring back 50s sun dresses!

6. After reading various thoughts on it. I really, really want an old restored typewriter now. I am on the hunt!

7. Mr Polka Dot used to woo with me with not only flowers, but with weird and wonderful food tastes of mine! Smoked salmon, smoked cheese, bocconcini, my favourite drink and chocolate covered coffee beans. He would show up at my house after a big day at work with…a parcel of smoked salmon. I have a love of all of the above and they were the best surprises ever!

I’m keeping it local this time! So I tag James Day, Toni Snell, Vanessa @Wildberry, Australia Entertains, Vincent Lai, The Lark & picklebums!

There’s a whole notion of ‘being a princess’ on your wedding day’ and now Disney, along with designer Kirstie Kelly has brought it to life with a range of Disney princess inspired wedding gowns. For every Disney Princess (Cinderella, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Belle & Jasmine), a gown has been created!  For the bride who loved ‘The Little Mermaid’ the styles are sleek and fitted with a mermaid line. There’s the full gold ball gown of Belle and the flowing goddess style gown of Jasmine.

There’s even a range of bridesmaids (called the ‘maidens line’) in luscious colours. The fuchsia of Jasmine, the sea greens and blue of Ariel, the rich berry red of Snow White and of course Cinderella in pale blue.

A line for flowergirls is expected to be launched this month!

Unfortunately there are no Australian stockists at the moment, so you can either order it from an international stockist or beg your local bridal stockist to try and get them here! You can see the full line at the Disney Bridal Website

Sharon Naylor is the author of many great wedding books  including ‘The Bride’s Gratitude Journal’, ‘The Bridesmaid Handbook’ and a mass of other titles.

Her latest book is called ‘The Bride’s Diplomacy Guide’ and deals with all those sticky situations. Like the guests that add their children to their RSVP, or the uninvited guests that keep asking when their invitation will arrive! The perfect reference guide to help the bride keep a level head!

I can’t wait to read it, but in the meantime it’s available to purchase from Amazon.
