I recently took part in a wedding...

Bridal Accessory Trend Alert: Chunky Necklaces and Long, Layered Strands
I was reading the September issue of Vogue this morning, and a few accessory trends jumped out at me in a big way. Every designer, from David Yurman (my personal fave!), to Donna Karan, to Oscar de la Renta, to Michael Kors, was showing one of two things... - chunky necklaces that make a serious statement - long, delicate necklaces layered one on top of another I must admit- the Bitter Betty inside of me often rears its ugly head while I thumb through Vogue, since nearly every...

Bride Chic: Ode To The Bias Cut
About Bride Chic Long before knits came on the fashion scene, the bias cut was used for body-hugging silhouettes like the dress on Jean Harlow above. It all started back in the 1920s when a Parisian couturier, Madeleine Vionette developed a technique using the true cross grain of fabric.

By 1930, Hollywood designers took advantage of this...
Jennifer Hudson: From Proposal Trendsetter to Baby Mama- Gives Birth on Monday!
Our Platinum Proposal contest back in June was inspired by the burgeoning trend of women proposing to men. One such celebrity trendsetter was Jennifer Hudson, who proposed to her man with a custom platinum and 5-carat diamond ring by Neil Lane (now, even though she popped the question, I hope Hudson is the one with the 5-carat rock on her finger. I can't imagine that being very masculine...) On Monday, Hudson gave birth to her first child, David Daniel Otunga Jr.! Congrats to this...

About Bubbly Bride For brides & grooms who have each lived on their own for awhile, have already found their favorite dish set, and would never part with their 5 year-old blender... some go about registering a bit differently.
