Ah. The New Year is upon us - where did the time go? One more reason to celebrate with friends and loved ones, and one more reason to dress up and look fabulous. I'm sure you have all found your dresses already but I just passed by the store window of BCBG the other day. BCBG has always attracted me, there is something simple and ethereal about their dresses, and their cutting (for me at least, is superb).
Their dresses make you feel almost old hollywood glam or simply modern chic. I know they're rather simple, definitely something you've seen before, but talk about excellent draping! I don't know, there's something about them that makes me fall in love.
Love the velvet bodice of this dress!
This dress is actually much more beautiful in person.
Aughhh...I need to get this - look at that sleeve detail!
So simple, so lovely (especially the colour). Hm, I will advise you not to wear a headband that the model demonstrates...
Ok, kind of generic I know, princess cut blah blah blah. But the material! And a colour that would look great on all skin tones.
What are you doing for New Year's? &equally important, what will you be wearing?

I found (and purchased) two pairs of boots this weekend.
Yes, two.
They are comfortable ... and I love, love, love them.
Steve Madden - Legion
INC Brook Riding Boot - mine are chocolate brown and aren't so shiny.
Oh sales how I love thee.

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you had a wonderful evening and a beautiful day! Were in good company with family and friends, wrapped up warm - or dressed downright cool! - with good food, wherever you are!
This spread instantly made me want to layer up with colours and scarves - I actually decided that I had too much black in my closet! Is that even possible? Love the fresh faces and the braided hair. What wonderful winter inspiration - take the look of fall and bring with you into winter, enough of the dull greys and the generic black. I can't believe I just said that.

Laura Hannah is an amazing local photographer! She has shot the weddings of two of our featured brides and is definitely one of the best area photographers - no matter what you desire to have photographed. Recently, she combined with Paige Eden to form L'amour de vie (love of life). This duo shoots some of the most amazing wedding photographs I've ever seen. I hope you enjoy a look at their brilliant work...
Etsy Favors
I have fallen head over heels in love with etsy.com. This website is "a place to buy and sell all things handmade." It is an awesome place to find just about anything made by artists, crafters, designers, really just about anything you can think of. It's a great way to support individuals and find really unique items. Today I did a little poking around an found some great options for wedding favors.

New 2Be Gowns
It is always exciting to get together with the other 2Be Bride authorized dealers to view the new line. We work on it all year and it is a great feeling to reach the end product in June. This year we met in Nashville Tennessee.
We stayed at the Union Station Hotel - a train station built in 1904 which was refurbished and converted to a hotel about a year ago. A great place to stay in Nashville and within walking distances of the downtown restaurants and "Honky Tonks".
2Be is split into three distinct lines. My favorite dresses are usually the Elizabeth Darcy collection. I love silk shantung, simple lines and feminine silhouettes; all featured in this group. The gowns are great for outdoor or garden weddings and any bride who loves the classic "less is best" look. The Gavin Michaels are more contemporary and sexy. Finally V-necks! One is very European with a un-lined lace corseted midriff. I really liked the "paper bag" neckline on a slim fitted, dropped waist gown. Isabella Chessari gowns are embellished with crystals and beading. Watch for fitted beaded dropped bodices with embroidery and beading on the trains. Those crystals really to sparkle and light up the room. I was thrilled with the social occasion line of Nathan Taylor. Dresses that are just too fun to be considered bridesmaid-ish. The knee lengths are my favorites; I love the bubble hem and the baby doll. I can see the baby doll in light blue as a rehearsal dress, or for the honeymoon, especially at the beach! We have new light weight jackets too, great for moms. We will have all of the social dresses and my favorites of the three bridal lines. Watch for photos to be on 2bebride.com soon. Also, we are having a trunk show in late September that will feature this newest collection!
left to right :: me, Terri (the 2Be sales director), Kelly (the east coast sales advisor) and Linda Taylor (store owner from Canada).
My husband and I, along with the other board members, worked hard to set this event up. But it was well worth it. I am very proud of this season's line Our new samples should start arriving in late September. I'm sure Colorado brides will love this line as much as I do.

Something to drool over on this special day....
Yes, I'm in love with red pumps! But just to add some variety, these are not Louboutins (remember the Turkey day pumps?), but from Stuart Weitzman. Dear Santa.....
Happy Christmukkah everyone!
Psst! I heard Bloomies is having a big sale on the 26th!

I indulge in perfume. I tend to put too much on and think nothing of it. I'm a dedicated and committed wearer of four scents, all of which are used in a rotational manner, depending on mood, weather, clothes and/or occasion. They are much more than just the fantastic four.
My first ever - must wear all the time - is this discontinued line of Ines De La Fressange. After all, she was Lagerfeld's muse.
I found this a couple of years ago - extremely fitting for Spring or Fall. Roger & Gallet Bouquet Imperial
Something fresh after a hot shower, or light for a summer day I wear Baby Bench. What's that? Yes, a perfume for babies. Not really a perfume actually, scented water? I have no idea, but it smells damn good AND it's made in the Philippines! Subtle and soft.
And last, but certainly not least, Marc Jacobs' Daisy. Divine. Long lasting, beautiful!
What's your scent?

After MUCH drama, the fall of the auto industry in the US has finally been avoided- at least temporarily anyway. In the end, Bush signed over $17.4 to Chrysler and GM on Friday in return for non voting warrants and more oversight on executive pay etc. In the end, they made a full circle and the money will be coming from the TARP fund, which brings up the really intriguing question of whether the government has opened the pandora box and now other industries will be lining up to get a share of the rest of the TARP fund. Paulson has already asked Congress to release the rest of the $350 billion TARP fund early, when just a few days ago he said that it will not be necessary. Just when we thought we figured out how the TARP is going to work, they change their minds. This does not bode well for the government, because it makes them look like they have no idea what they're doing. Maybe they don't! On the other hand, the wider purpose of TARP is to support the financial market stability, and I daresay, it will probably not be very stable if the auto industry went bankrupt!
On the sidelines, the Madoff scandal continues to unfold, revealing many influential individuals exposed to this fraud. The S&P cut the rating of 11 US and EU banks, including Bank of America, Barclays Bank, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS and Wells Fargo Bank. I guess if ratings must be cut, at least there is safety in numbers. What are you going to do when everyone goes down?
Outside of the States, it looks like the land of chocolate and waffles is not doing very well. Belgium's attempt to bailout Fortis got frozen as Prime Minister Yves Leterme tendered his resignation after having reportedly politically meddling to sway a court ruling. Apparently this is the third time their government collapsed. I had no idea.

I wanted to be creative and pick out unique gifts for each of my girls - something they personally would really enjoy. With all the other planning going on, finding a completely unique gift for each girl proved to be too much for me to tackle.
1154Lill provides an option to customize a great bag for each of your girls without having to scour the earth (or the internet) for different but "equal" gifts. Simply choose the style of bag (they vary in price from $26-$200) and pick a fabric that you like.
style from top to bottom - Donna, Samantha :: photos from 1154lill.comI received one of these custom bags as a gift not too long ago and I am completely in love with it. I love that it is one of a kind, made just for me and the quality is amazing.
I am always amazed at how well Pronovias can handle so many people from so many different countries for a weekend of wining, dining and fashion. They met us at the airport and took us to our hotel where we slept for 6 hours. We had a casual dinner Thursday night with plenty of time to visit with other store owners. It is so much fun to catch up with the same people each year.
Instead of the usual fashion show and formal dinner on Friday night, we were treated to an exhibit at the Catalonia Art Museum. The exhibit was The 50 Best Wedding Dresses from the 50 Best Designers in the World, created with Swarovski Crystal. I've never seen so much sparkle in one room! What do you think of the one with the wool jacket? Perfect for Colorado winters? After the exhibit, we enjoyed the formal dinner. The tables are always beautiful and the food interesting to say the least. The entertainment was a performance of American Broadway Hits. Isn't it funny that Europeans so often perform American music for international audiences?
More from the Pronovias Market in Barcelona later this week...
