{Fashioning Weddings} Louis Vuitton

Monday, October 25th, 2010 by admin

The husband and I ended up taking a last minute trip (like, booked tickets Wednesday night and left Thursday) to head up to NY/ NJ. He had to go, and I wanted to tag along, to celebrate our 4 year anniversary(!) in the city we met,  and see some family and friends. I’ll finish out the Fall 2011 bridal fashion week download later this week as there were so many dresses worth posting.

Now it’s back to reality, and Monday’s Fashioning Weddings!

The Definitely Not White Wedding Dress

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010 by admin

How would you feel about your wedding dress being your “something blue?” Or you wedding dress being nude or pale pink? The blue dresses were shown at Romona Keveza, the pale pink was shown at Randi Rahm, and the nude dress was shown at Marchesa’s Ready to Wear Show, although it would  be a stunning wedding dress for the non-traditional bride.

{Friday Faves} Milan Beauty

Friday, October 1st, 2010 by admin

I am kind of handicapped when it comes to make-up. I have a pretty basic everyday routine, and a couple of go-to tricks for evening up my sleeve, but I have yet to master liquid eyeliner- if that tells you anything. My faves for today are beauty looks from Milan fashion week, and I think I may even stand a chance at translating these into my own beauty regimen.

{Fashioning Weddings} Marmi Spring 2011

Monday, September 27th, 2010 by admin

I miss yesterday. It was the prefect rainy day that pretty much dictates staying in bed all day long and watching movies. Transition to this morning…teeth cleaning, not my idea of fun, and thus the tardiness for this post.

Fashion Week 2011

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 by admin

I know it’s the nature of the beast, but I always find it odd to be focusing on next season’s fashions (spring in this case) when this season (fall) has not even begun.  Nonetheless, it does give us something to look forward to during the cooler upcoming months. As Fashion Week continues, here are some of the trends I see emerging. Notice some of the models are actually wearing FLATS on the runway.

Whites are back! Great news for brides, and anyone with a killer tan not going to a bridal function.

Neutrals. Another trend that is staying around, but now including more muted grey and champagne colors in addition to traditional khaki.

Colorful brights. Color lovers rejoice. While spring fashions are generally splashed with all hues of the rainbow, 2011 promises to be extra full of brightly colored hues to off-set and enhance neutrals.

And Lastly, a classic, black and white.
