Prima Donna Bridal

Prima Donna, a couture bridal boutique, is home to the largest Norwich showroom where brides-to-be shop lavish wedding gowns from private designers. They operate as an indepedent retailer and have some of the most breathtaking dresses I think I've seen yet!
Here are some examples from multiple collections:

Sincerity

Romantica

Fashion's Darling, Hayden Panettiere

Cute, sassy, and stylish, I have to dish on Hayden Panettiere. She's the newest pre-teen glamour girl to be holding her own in the Hollywood jungle. With a notable acting career, her pleasing appearance on the red-carpet is impressive for such a pint-sized starlett. We should keep our eye on this young lady-- she's going to be busy trend-setting in 2008.

Hayden loves to flash her winning smile. Seen here at a movie premiere, she pulls off a classy up-do with soft framing around her face.

Hayden's newest endorsement is for Candie's shoes. The ads are flirty and fun, shot with sweet treats and even five fluffy, white puppies-- much to Hayden's delight. She couldn't keep the rolly polly pups out of her dressing room or her lap!

Project Runway Finalist Showcases Line

Say what you will about reality TV, Alexandra Vidal who was a finalist on season one's Project Runway, is making a statement at Fashion Week 2008. Her line of evening gowns take a spin off of period garments mixed with her own touch of modern appeal.

What do you think? Is she out of her league or earning her right to rub elbows in New York?

Short Take from Fashion Week, New York

Take it from the runway fashionistas-- tights and hose are "in" this fall. From matallic sheen to ripped gothic threads, the legs were all the rage. Snagged, striped, or knit, more than one designer gave their own personal touch to revitalize this look.

Try wearing a pair with a layered jumper and ballet flats or skirt and heels.

Congrats-- Times Two!

A big kudos to Jeniffer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony who were blessed by the delivery of healthy twins, a boy and girl, earlier today!

The arrival happened just after midnight.

Let the photographer frenzy begin!

LL's New Low

Lindsey's latest photo stunt may have landed her on the cover of New York Magazine, but the copycat Marilyn Monroe doesn't quite live up to the original. With the Hollywood struggle to find originality, Lohan's attempt to place herself on the same pedestal as the original blonde bombshell did more than show just how little resemblance she bears to the icon; it appears she's lost her own persona. The shots, re-touched to hilt, made her look like the little girl playing dress-up, who hopes to one day fall into the fascade of sex-appeal. It was all unappealing; So much for LL's new image post-rehab.

Best Boutique 2007- New York

Honey in the Rough was recently voted "Best Boutique 2007" and here's why:

Located in New York's lower east side, this store limits itself to dresses made by international designers and specializes in finding practical pieces suggested by their helpful staff. Handmade lingerie from London, jewelry, and candles are also available from around the globe. Makeup artists wait to give you a fresh look just before heading back into the streets, hopefully slinging a new dress.

As a side note, Saturday's are dedicated to eyebrow artist Rosie, who offers free consultations from 12-8pm.
