15 Quotes that Toast Bridezilla Behavior

post from BrideZilla on 23 July 2008 06:45:29 PM. © BrideZilla

When it comes time for toasts, don't be surprised if your maid of honor quotes a sickeningly sweet love sonnet written centuries ago. Try not to roll your eyes when she says, misty eyed and somber, "love means never having to say I'm sorry," or "love conquers all."

Since every wedding planning website has a directory of ho-hum love quotes, we compiled a list of quotes from fearless females. Use these quotes at your next all-female celebration. Put them in a basket and play "who said this?" at your bridal shower. Or add these saucy statements to your bachelorette party toasts. If you suffer from stage fright, put these quotes in personalized fortune cookies and give them to the ladies in your life at the rehearsal dinner.

These authors, artists, and leading ladies paved the way for bridezilla and made attitude the latest accessory. Enjoy! And feel free to comment with your own favorite quotes.1. I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box. ~ Bette Davis2. The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me. ~ Ayn Rand 3. She must not swing her arms as though they were dangling ropes; she must not switch herself this way and that; she must not shout; and she must not, while wearing her bridal veil, smoke a cigarette. ~ Emily Post 4. I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. ~ Rita Rudner5. You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you. ~ Audrey Hepburn6. Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it. ~ Maya Angelou7.

Hair Extravaganza

post from Carissa's Beauty Blog on 23 July 2008 05:16:00 PM. © Carissa's Beauty Blog

I've recently had the chance to try out a lot of hair lines- here are a few stand outs and why you'll love em too.

For the girl who has it all, try the new brainchild of Horst Rechelbacher, the Aveda founder who set out to develop Intelligent Nutrients, based on their philosophy that 'everything we put in and on our bodies must be nutritious and safe.' This is definitely the next frontier of personal care when the Hair Cleanser's instructional uses include washing food and pets.

I found the Cleanser and Conditioner to be unlike anything I've ever used. Don't expect piles of suds or a bubble gum sent, just perfectly cleansed hair that feels almost neutral, not overly soft and not dried out either. Just a fresh starting point to perfectly cleansed hair.

For the experimental girl on the go, there's the unexpectedly additcting LUSH solid shampoos. Normal to dry hair should try Godiva, which lathers up using only a few swipes down the length of your hair. Tins are also sold for easy storage and travel. Even my thick, long locks were tamed and conditioned without one tangle.

Forget what you think know about haircare found at natural foods stores, Lamas will make you a believer with their Soy Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner. The scent is intoxicating and my hair felt soft and bouncy. Summer hair getting a little weighed down? Check out their Sea Silk Styling Mousse which creates some serious volume.

For the drugstore girl, Loreal's Vive Pro offerings provide UV filter and glossy locks.Nutri-Gloss Shampoo, Conditioner and Conditioning Treatment add tons of shine to the hair while letting you choose the product by hair length, texture and condition.

Color Vive also gives you options based on hair type, but adds a UV filter to keep your color from fading in the summer sun.

The Wedding of the Decade

post from Italian Lakes Wedding Blog - Destination Weddings Italy on 23 July 2008 05:12:00 PM. © Italian Lakes Wedding Blog - Destination Weddings Italy

On September 4, 2004 Isola Madre on the Borromeans Islands has been the perfect scenario for the wedding of the decade: John Elkann, Fiat heir, married Donna Lavinia Borromeo of Princes of Angera at the Cappella Bianca on the Isola Madre.
John Elkann is the chiselled 28-year-old grandson of the late Gianni Agnelli. Following the death of his uncle Umberto, Elkann was promoted to the vice-chairmanship of Fiat, becoming the head of Italy’s grandest family in the process. Princess Lavinia Borremeo is the last descendant of the Borromeo family: this noble family was the owner of the islands for centuries. Borromeo family is one of the premier Italian families that became rich through trade and banking.
Lavinia Borromeo and John Elkann made up a beautiful couple: she was 26, he was 28. They had a beautiful wedding: the ceremony and wedding took place at the Cappella Bianca, at Isola Madre in Lake Maggiore, which is property of the bride’s family. Father Biagio Pizzi and Don Giuseppe Volpati presided over the ceremony. The church was adorned with white and yellow flowers. From the seven hundred guests invited to the reception, only the relatives and close friends of the couple were able to enter the small church.
The bride wore a Valentino’s gown and she complemented it with a splendid lace veil that is running in the Borromeo family for many years. Valentino was also in charge of the dresses worn by the bridesmaids, Beatrice and Matilde (sisters of the bride), as well as by Isabella Borromeo, who acted as witness.
The wedding reception took place at Borromeo family’s most famous palace on Isola Bella. The reception, which featured a 5m long chocolate cake depicting dozens of chocolate Cinquecento and a guest list including Henry Kissinger, a representatives of the Grimaldi and Kennedy clans, the italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and Elle McPherson, along with lashings of Euro-aristocracy.
The wedding was among others attended by Prince Serge of Yugoslavia and his fiancée Eleonore Rajneri who are soon getting married themselves, as well as Serge’s mother Princess Maria Pia of Savoy.

j.crew spring 2009

post from perfect bound: bridal, style, design & dish on 23 July 2008 04:43:00 PM. © perfect bound: bridal, style, design & dish

I am loving the J. Crew color palette for Spring 2009. Looks like they are staying true to some of their most beloved styles and also adding a few new ones. Yellow is still so popular but a bit more refined for 09.
