If you’re not willing to spend the $50 for Urban Decay’s Naked palette, check out the Nude palette Physicians Formula just released with a similar look as Urban’s but for only $11. While I can’t vouch for the shadow’s textures and color payoff, I can say that I’ve had great luck with this line (especially the bronzers!… Read More...

Black & Yellow Inspiration: An Amber Rose, Wiz
Kalifah Inspired Moodboard

post from Always A Blogsmaid on 02 March 2012 04:19:21 PM. © Always A Blogsmaid

Yes, Wiz Kalifah and Amber Rose are engaged. And, YES- we went for the low lying fruit today with the obvious thought that their color scheme will surely be “Black and Yellow”. I know that they are no Royals, they are no Beyonce and Jay-Z, or Kate Moss and whoever was in those photos with [...]

Hummingbird Revisited Friday: A Day of Wedding
Inspiration

post from The Beginning of Forever on 02 March 2012 02:10:54 PM. © The Beginning of Forever

Happy Friday!!! Happy March! March means spring is on the way? so is warmer weather. And for all those winter lovers out there move to Canada we get about six months of cold weather.. lol!

So browsing through videos this week I came across this cute video of a hummingbird ?snoring?. Turns out it wasn?t really snoring but it did look like it was. You really should take a look it is very cute.

So it got me thinking about revisiting the hummingbird as wedding inspiration. We did 2 humming birds last year. One inspired by the Samsung Hummingbird and the other inspired by Hummingbirds doing what they do naturally. Well today?s inspiration comes from the beautiful hummingbird in the video. The Amethyst-throated Sunangel found only in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. Rich greens, blacks, whites, purples, and a speck of blue colour and also in reds and pinks.

So here is my hummingbird revisited wedding inspiration. Also included is some amazing paper scroll typography which I find beautiful? Imagine using it as a monogram for your wedding. Stunning idea!

Real Bridal Style | Carol Hannah Designs Couture
Gowns for NYC Brides

Just when we thought we couldn't love Carol Hannah any more, the bridal designer surprised us again... in a tres-chic, tres-stylish NYC way of course.
We've always adored Carol Hannah for her fresh, feminine and fun approach to bridal design. {In fact, every time I set foot in her studio with a styling client, I have to resit a serious urge to not play dress up with every single gown in the shop}. Her aesthetic is romantic, ethereal, and quite simply put: absolutely stunning. So it's no wonder that many Manhattan brides share my sentiments and turn to CH for completely custom wedding dresses... just like NYC bride Sarah, shown below.

Sara worked closely with Carol Hannah to create her stunning gown, and her wedding day photos in Bryant Park are testament to its absolutely beautiful design. In fact, here's the kicker... The team at Carol Hannah loved the custom creation so much, they decided to add it to their spring collection!
Now called the Bayberry, this custom gown made of crinkle georgette, varying shades of chiffon, and organza in tiers of romantic ruffles and drapes is available to all brides {and I suspect they'll come running in droves for it!}. As for Sara, she's still enjoying her wedding gown... In fact, during Bridal Market, she was sweet enough to model in the runway photo above.
To learn more about Carol Hannah's collections, as well as her made-to-order custom services, visit her Web site and view more real brides on their blog.

All photos courtesy of Carol Hannah. Carol Hannah is also an advertiser on Merci New York.
