Forget Dispoable Cameras

Forget  Dispoable Cameras

Thanks to Miss Lemon over at Weddingbee for this idea. I Love it!

So many digital cameras… so many ways to get them from your friends and family! There is an abundance of websites that make collecting photos from others online quite simple, and it can often be difficult to choose how you’re going to do it.

After weighing the alternatives, I opted to ask my guests to submit their photos to Flickr for quite a few reasons:

  • I wanted ...

Summer Reading: Cocktail Parties With A Twist

Summer Reading: Cocktail Parties With A Twist

I have a large collection of colorful party planning books that I browse when I'm in need of inspiration. Cocktail Parties With A Twist by Alexandra and Elliot Angle is part of said collection. Written by the owners of top LA catering company, Aqua Vitae, the book features ideas for 14 parties complete with extensive cocktail coverage and deliciously paired recipes. They teach you how to host a party in a teeny studio, a cold garage, a local ...

The Ladies Of Venice Film Festival

The Ladies Of Venice Film Festival

We are only in week 1 of Venice Film Festival, and I do not believe we will see a better dress than Keira Knightley's Chanel dress.

Here is the rest of this week's dresses from the festival.

Joely Richardson wore this Elie Saab Spring 2007 Couture gown to the "Atonement" premiere. I think this ice blue dress suits her complexion perfectly.

To the "Atonement" premiere, Rosamund Pike wore a gold Prada 2008 Resort dress. The design of the dress ...

Yum Market Finds: Interesting Kitchen Tools

Yum Market Finds: Interesting Kitchen Tools

I know that you gals aren't really fans of unitasking kitchen gadgets, but as I was looking through the Yum Market, I couldn't help but notice quite a few interesting kitchen tools. Some are incredibly over priced, but some I might actually consider getting. Check out this red, collapsible funnel, for example. A funnel is a kitchen accessory that I do not own and never think to buy when I'm out at Williams-Sonoma. However, every few months ...

Promise for the Savvy Bride

Promise for the Savvy Bride

I've spent the last couple of weeks bridal gown shopping around the D.C. area. I've probably been to ten stores in all so I feel like I now know the D.C. market pretty well. I have two more stores to visit but I wanted to start blogging about some of the stores I liked the most.

I know that store recommendations are a highly personal thing and it all depends on the type of shopper you are and what ...

Dior Vinyl Cannage “D” Clutch

Dior Vinyl Cannage “D” Clutch

Your shoulder is begging for a much-needed break. Considering your idea of packing light could use a little work, give it a rest and your wrist a little workout with this slick Dior Vinyl Cannage “D” Clutch. This swingy bag does double duty - it’s part wristlet, part clutch. I love the look of the leather bands weaving their way through grommets and adding some contrasting decoration to the shiny leather. The purse is just spacious enough to hold a ...

CQ Live Birmingham: H&M, Bullring Centre

CQ Live Birmingham: H&M, Bullring Centre

Nipping into H&M following a good hour in Debenhams, I was surprised to find myself drawn to a massive display in the children's department! They're now stocking Sanrio Hello Kitty merchandise - and some of the items are great for (kitschy) adults as well as the under tens they're aimed at. Cute little hairclips for £1.25, alice bands, handbags and my personal favourite, a pink knitted hat all tempted me from the rails. Sadly the kitty printed rain hat was ...

CQ Live Birmingham: Brum Rag Market

CQ Live Birmingham: Brum Rag Market

Portobello it is not, but if you're looking for dirt-cheap bargains and a chance to really experience life as a Brummie, the Rag Market it definitely worth a visit. A little bit ramshackle but very, very cheap, It opens its doors on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and sits directly behind the Bullring shopping centre, next to two other markets - the outdoor and the indoor (which is where you'll find yummy food like fresh seafood, yum!). ...

Hello My Name Is ____ and I Live at ____

Hello My Name Is ____ and I Live at ____

Have a problem breaking the ice? How about drinking so much you can't remember where you live? Either way there are now novelty napkins that can help you out. The Hello Napkins allow you to fill in your name, your star sign, phone number and more, while the Cabbie Napkins allow you to fill in your address and where to find your cash. I think they're pretty clever, the hello ones could be fun for a mixer, but ...

Celebrity Style: Hayden Panettiere

Celebrity Style: Hayden Panettiere

Hayden has turned into quite the lady overnight! This red sheath dress she wore to the London photo call of Heroes really flatters her petite frame and takes her from girl to woman. I love how she accessorized with a black patent belt because otherwise, the outfit would be too plain. Way to go lady in red!

Fab’s Going to Fashion Week! My Outfit Plans

What can I say...I'm in a sharing mood! So you've seen, and helped me finalize, my fashion week style survival kit. Then, I geeked out with all my posh gadgets for the adventure (half of which I don't know how to use, whatever, I'll figure it out!). And here is something very special, I hope you all appreciate: my outfit plans. I normally don't reveal my style secrets, but I thought you all would get a kick out ...
