For some, it’s Etta James’ “At Last.” For others, it’s Eric Claptons’ “You Look Wonderful Tonight.” And for others, it’s a curve ball, like Glee‘s cover of Journey’s “Faithfully” (like for my friends Sarah and Alex–believe it). Whatever song you select for your first dance as the new Mr. and Mrs., from a sappy serendae to an upbeat [...]

A few months back we posed a question: Would you wear a green wedding dress? An emerald-hued bridal gown is a little unconventional, sure, but sometimes taking a fashion risk can have gorgeous results (as evidenced by this glam English wedding). So today, we pose another question: Would you wear a polka dot wedding dress? [...]

I think I was a southern gal in a past life. I love ribs and red velvet cake, I love boots and horses, and every now and then I speak with a slight twang (I don’t know how or why it emerges, but it does). I have never traveled to the south (unless layovers in [...]

This Wednesday’s Dress of the Week–‘Brigitte’–is extra special because the frock is designed and handsewn by a local dressmaker: Betsy Barker, owner of Modest Couture by Elizabeth. What is it about ‘Brigitte’ we love so much? For starters, her short hemline, sheath shape, and chic 1960′s silhouette. Then there’s also her elbow-length sleeves, deep v-back, and [...]

The current craze for all things ombre can be seen in fashion, home decor, beauty, and now, of course, in weddings. My ombre love affair began last year when I spotted model Lily Aldridge sporting this [...]

After reading this post’s headline, you probably think I’m going to tell you one of two things: 1.) A really cool fashion magic trick, or 2.) To go buy a package of black Rit dye powder and get busy. Nope, I have a better idea (one that doesn’t involve smoke and mirrors, and is much less messy)–allow me [...]
