One Dress 15 Styles

I totally love this concept! I wanted my bridesmaids to have dresses that complimented each of their figures and expressed their individual style. We had them custom made, allowing them to chose different styles for the top of the dress. To stay cohesive, the bottoms and color were all the same.
Two Birds Bridesmaid accomplished this exact concept with ONE dress! LOVE! Your girls can chose from 15 ways to wrap their dress to achieve their personal style, 18 colors, and 4 lengths! How can you go wrong? Everyone will be happy!

I heart....

Femme Succulents

When you pair succulents and stilettos what do you get? A totally sexy femme arrangement. Who knew?! Check out these funky creations from Etsy shop giddyspinster: dreamy things
Here is the interesting blurb from the Shop Announcement:these shoes are used/ upcycled. The concept is about hard-working women, the increasingly artificial nature of American femininity, and the impossible images that women face in our society. It's a prickly, spiky, sticky situation...
In the description of each planter, she leaves you with these lines:
The - plant will need very bright light and just a little water from time to time. In return, it'll repay you with a stark reminder of how hard it is to...well, to be a woman.
Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels. ~Faith Whittlesey

Hit or Miss: Peplum Dress

A Peplum is a small over-skirt or ruffle that attaches to the waistline of a dress. I remember when I was a little girl my aunt who's a seamstress loved her some peplum dresses. Now they are back in full swing this season! But..Ummm.. I'm not to sure how well this trend sits with me. But it's certainly popping up all over the place recently. It's even translated into bridal gowns. I think it's actually super cute on the models. For me, it's just one of those style that I would need to actually see it on before I approve or condemn it. But I think I may have to just pass on this one. Take a look. What do you think, is this a hit or miss?
