Designing a perfect wedding.
January 29th 2010 01:45
Recently my girlfriend and I decided to get married, and we began planning for the wedding. Neither of us had ever taken the plunge before so we were both pretty clueless about where to begin. We needed to get the dress for her and myself a tuxedo. Finding these items would be no easy task. We spent quite some time looking everywhere to find the perfect dress for my bride to be. I thought it was hopeless so I started looking around online until finally, exhausted from my search I found the perfect dress.
It was gorgeous. A stunning white gown, strapless with an ornate breast and a very sheer torso with a lace appeal. The length was perfect, and the look was perfection. My fiance nearly fainted when she saw it. Feeling triumphant I went about on my search for the perfect tuxedo. This task proved to me much simpler and within a couple of days I had my suit ready to go.
The quest was far from over. Now we had to outfit the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. Finding outfits to fit this assorted crew of people would be a daunting task. For this I let my fiance work on the ladies and I went to work searching for tuxedos for the guys. I went with rented suits from a local rental place that was inexpensive. My wife after a fruitless search followed suit and went with the same company for the bridesmaids. We were still a long way off from our goal.
We needed a caterer, a place to hold the reception, a band, flowers, we needed to decide on a church or an outdoor wedding. What priest would perform the ceremony. It was than that I realized we hadn't even found the jewelry my wife would wear. I had some gold cuff-links in a drawer and I borrowed my fathers best watch for the occasion. She would not be outfitted so easily. I consulted with an old friend of mine who designs jewelry and hashed out the perfect combination of accessories to make my new wife look perfect.
The necklace was a sterling silver piece with many long strands of silver dangling off of it. They were short pieces and each was encrusted with small diamonds across their length. Another row of diamonds made the bow around the neckline. A matching diamond studded tennis bracelet for her wrist. I also found her a sterling silver broach with a twisting floral pattern and pink amethyst for the petals. Finally things were looking up for the big day.
While our quest for the perfect wedding may have been a harrowing one, with a little patience we were able to persevere and make our special day, well...special.

part of the century with films such as 'Riding in Cars with Boys'(2001), '8 Mile' with Eminem,(2002) 'Just Married(2003) with Ashton Kutcher(Whom she dated),
and 'Uptown Girls'(2003). Her career got another huge boot when she appeared in the Frank Miller film 'Sin City' the stylized comic book film was directed
by Miller, Robert Rodriguez, and guest director Quentin Tarantino. The film also starred some of Hollywood's biggest actors including Bruce Willis,
Mickey Rourke, and Clive Owen. in 2006 she created the voice of Gloria in the animated feature 'Happy Feet'. She starred in the recently released on DVD film
'Ramen Girl'(2008)
At the time of her death she had completed work on the films 'MegaFault'(2009), 'Abandoned'(2009), 'Something Wicked'(2010), and 'The Expendables'(2010). Murphy was slated to begin production on the film 'Shrinking Charlotte' in the lead role, and was rumored

She also made forays in to music. In the 1990's she was the singer in the band 'Blessed Soul'. She covered the Queen song 'Somebody to Love' and Earth, Wind, and Fire's
'Boogie Wonderland'.She provided vocals for the Paul Oakenfold single 'Faster Kill Pussycat'. Murphy starred in Wheatus' video "A Little Respect" alongside actor Shawn Hatosy.
She has also appeared in the music video for Luscious Jackson's "Here" and Tears for Fears' "Closest Thing to Heaven". In addition to all the other
work that kept her so busy she even found to become a spokesperson for Jordache Jeans in 2005.

found the actor unconscious in the shower. She was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was pronounced dead on arrival. So far the cause of death
is 'Natural Causes' 'but the toxicology reports have not been released at the time of this writing. Some speculation as to the possibility of drug
related death circulated after her husband announced that he did not want an autopsy performed on his late wife. Many in Hollywood mourned her
passing by doing the most hideous, yet appropriate thing they could do. They Tweeted about her death.

Verite Vintage. Classy, Classic Women's Fashion.
December 17th 2009 02:05
This week it seems I've really been focusing on clothes. This is natural to me because of the large collection of vintage clothing I own. Over 100 shirts. dozens of very vintage women's hats, and my few and precious leather coats that get a lot of use. So I'm focusing my energies on some great online shops that sell choice pieces of vintage. Yesterday we did serendipitouswinks shop and today I'm going to look at Verite Vintage.
This shop has a modest stock focusing heavily on women's dresses and tops. The collection is diverse including paisley and some classic Victorian style tops. There are some great looks here from frilled and ruffled collars to open tops with collars so you can go from refined to business ready in a shake.

Dresses Through the Ages - A Vintage History of Dresses
December 12th 2009 21:26
by Robin Kittler
The dress has always been a popular garment for women throughout the ages. The dress has developed and evolved with differing styles and hemlines. In the 1920's the dress was usually referred to as 'flapper' clothing, loosened waistline, often backless and usually knee-length. In the 1930's the dress was elegant and sophisticated. In the 1940's the dress evolved into a more utility style, more conservative. In the 1950's the trend was reversed and the dress shapes were curvier with wasp waists and wide skirts over many underskirts. In the 1960's dresses were influenced by musical tastes and also the hippie style was worn[ Click here to read more ]

by spotwriters
There are numerous websites of wholesale Ed Hardy collections which sure go easy on one's pocket. Making it successful with a sought after designer label at such attractive prices as 20 and 30$ is definitely a great bargain! Who would not want to sport a similar T shirt or a cap like Madonna? The collection draws its name from the man himself-Ed Hardy, a native of California USA known world over for his technically brilliant art collection of tattoos. He spent a few years in Japan acquiring a rich knowledge of traditional Japanese art and tattoo designs which he later incorporated in his art collection[ Click here to read more ]
