Gals,
One of my favourite things to do on a Sunday night is relax on the couch scouring the internet for interesting blog posts and quirky fashion finds. Well, since becoming pals with Annabel of "Love My Dress" Style Diary, we have found the best bunch of Sunday inspiration all in the one spot.

Annabel creates a fabulous post each Sunday called "Sunday Serving" where she serves up a veritable feast of inspiration,fashion and bridal finds from around the blogosphere. Its an absolute must for discerning brides out there , looking for that something special for the big day.

But don't just take my word for it, grab yourself a coffee, feet up on the couch, tear yourself away from facebook and enjoy the fashion finds @

Love My Dress ~ Sunday Serving
Thanks Annabel.

Victorian Inspired Silk Bonzie Bolero!



Gals,
The talented stylistas over at "Style Me Pretty" Bridal Blog have just recently featured an absolutely stunning wedding captured by renowned photographer Stacy Reeves documenting Bride Abby and her hunky beau Zach special day. The details throughout the whole wedding are exceptional, the theme the color scheme the whole ambience, these folks know how to get the magic just right! We were very excited to see our Victorian Inspired Silk Bridal Bolero on Abby as part of her bridal ensemble, the brides personal elegance adds a really polished finish to the look!

Thanks to Stacy for capturing Abby's and Zach's magic on film the album looks incredible!

Pic: Alexander McQueen & Bonzie
( honored to have had the opportunity to be showcased alongside one of our heroes )

Gals,

It brings me great sadness to speak about the recent loss of a truely inspiring and utterly brilliant idol of ours, UK Designer, Alexander McQueen. Known in the fashion world as the "enfant terrible" for his rebel approach to fashion and his personal ability to push the boat out with each and every collection. McQueen sadly passed away this week under tragic circumstances and the world has lost a genuine creative genuis.

I would have especially admired McQueen as he was a real "rags to riches" story, from a very normal family and discovered by style icon Isabella Blow who tragically suffered a similar fate not so long ago. He worked hard to establish his brilliance in a world typically dominated by a more priveleged class and quickly became one of the most covetable iconic labels worldwide. McQueens loss is undescribable in the industry and no doubt unimaginable to his family and friends. We would like to extend our sincerest thoughts to his loved ones at a very difficult time.

A truely tragic loss. Rest in Peace.
