This time you’re wiser, this time you’re self-assured, and this time there’s a undying strength in your spirit. There’s an ease in your step, a knowing in your face. You’re not the innocent doe-eyed young girl who walked the aisle before. You’ve done the “fairy-tale” thing, you’ve seen what happens after “happily ever after” and you walk into this marriage with sophistication. You should celebrate that. You don’t have to down-play a second marriage. It should be a celebration, and a collaboration. Be at ease, breathe it in, and try to be comfortable in your own skin – I’m sure you’ve earned it.

Bridal style:
1. Forget the princess cut dress, pick a dress that echoes elegance.
2. Your hair should fall naturally. Leave the uptight up-do for the rookie.
3. You’ve already been veiled, walk into this one seeing clearly.

You know, we should all consider a second marriage – even if it’s remarrying the one we chose the first time around. We grow so much from the first time we say ” I do”, and a celebration to recognize that would be brilliant!

It’s blue, and it’s brilliant! If you’re feeling blue, it’s going to be a great investment. The fashion forecast calls for blue from winter all the way through spring. In the winter months, you’re wearing this with patent leather. In the spring, it works with a nude strappy sandal. To make the color work without looking like a crayon walking down the street, play up one piece. Don’t do the all over brilliant blue – yikes. What do you think? Is this blue for you?

It’s pretty fair to say that by the middle of August most of us are tired of our summer wardrobe. You stand looking into your closet feeling very uninspired as you try to find something to wear to a wedding you have this weekend. Walk Away! Go out and buy yourself a new dress that can easily work itself into your Fall wardrobe. The Julie Haus dress is perfection. It’s in one of Fall’s hottest color, Plum, and can be worn in a million different ways. When the weather gets colder you can pair it with opaque stockings and pumps. Or you can make it more funky by throwing on some boots. We’re loving this dress with layered gold necklaces; they will hang beautifully subtly emphasizing your assets. It’s sensual, rich, and sophisticated. We love the alluring quality of this outfit – it doesn’t give it all away at first glance. It will draw them in time and time again, and the wonderment will be infectious. Success!!

I’m sure none of us expected this blast from the past to return, but these asymmetrical pieces with goddess appeal are bombarding the style scene this summer!

Busy neckwear is a no-no with these cutting edge necklines, however, a pair of large statement earrings, an eye-catching ring and a dramatic clutch are a definite yes. For an evening event, tap into a darker, more glamorous look with a playful hint of metallics. And if you’re thinking about flaunting a one shoulder dress during a summer’s day, choose a lighter and brighter look, topping it off with some neutral espadrilles and a wicker clutch.

These single-strapped dresses are elegant, sexy, and versatile!

Most girls have a picture in their mind of what a bride should look like. It’s usually an image conjured up from reading fairy tales at a young age. The funny thing is, that vision doesn’t always reflect the woman behind the veil. So, before you lose yourself in a heap of organza and tool, be sure that personifies your style. Otherwise, after the cake is gone, and the honeymoon is over, you may look back at the pictures and wonder “who is that girl?”. Wedding dresses have evolved quite a bit in the last 15 years. Designers realized that there’s a place for fashion in the wedding gown world. Since then, the designs have broadened and the style choices are endless. One of those styles is the “bohemian.” This bride is at ease with herself, and feels a freedom to express who she is. The dress she wears is easy going, and gives her the ability to move freely. The bohemian bride embraces the beauty and warmth of nature, and it’s reflected in all the things she chooses for her wedding. The colors are earthy, and mixed in an unconventional way. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who knows who she is, and portrays it fearlessly. We encourage you to consider your many options, and look at all that the designers have to offer. Your spirit should resonate on that day. Forget the fairy tales from your childhood, make your own magic. Who even knows what became of Cinderella? She could be trapped in a castle somewhere, or drunk in an English pub, or maybe she did live happily ever after. Who knows…..

You can practically feel the warmth of the sun when you look at Marco Bicego’s jewelry. While the collection is from Italy, it exudes a Grecian spirit. Each piece is lit from within as if Apollo, God of the Sun, himself had a hand in its creation. It’s the type of jewelry you would expect to see on women wandering through the town of Thera, on the island of Santorini. It expresses effortless, everyday, luxurious style. You can wear his jewelry with everything from a chic maxi dress, to a beautiful bathing suit by the beach. The collection is perfectly suited for the summer months, when the sun’s rays reflect a light that makes everything look gilded. The pieces will compliment not only your glowing skin, but your wardrobe as well. I’m loving this illuminating look, and the feeling it gives off. I’m thinking a Marco Bicego bracelet would make an excellent Mother’s Day gift! What do you think? I know, I know, I should stop dreaming! Hopefully, some of you will get the chance to glisten wearing Marco Bicego’s fabulous collection.

Gabrielle Sanchez’s designs bring out the true nature of the material she is using. Any embellishment she utilizes is to facilitate the inner beauty of the piece. The jewels have a sensuous, earthy feel, as well as a refreshing whimsical spirit. They are unexpected and not a bit ordinary, providing warmth and light to anyone who wears them. Spring and summer season is all about embracing the elements of nature, and fashion designers are always inspired by it. We think Gabrielle’s jewels will work beautifully with the styles for next season, and it is a brilliant way to complete your look.
