You may be thinking New Years Eve or even what you're going to wear to all those shimmering events. This set off Polyvore really struck me in the sense it has all that glitters as well as cool green/blue pastels that look great in cold weather.

WRAPPING UP

For all those snow and cold weather brides, you have some great options for keeping warm this season. From shrugs to jackets to full length coats and stoles, anything with fur--real or faux --will snuggle and toast you warm once you brave the elements. I'd have no problem wearing any of these coats or this shawl with a pair of Guess after the big day.

A PINCH OF BLUE

This board features an image by my favorite photographer, Chris Nicholls.I found this lovely combination of beautiful things on Style Circle, a treasure trove of ideas. Titled, 'A Pinch of Blue' there's just enough to add a little something--that kind of something found in old French paintings . . .

INSPIRED

Hats on Heads

Check out what's in store for Spring! Love this design by hats on Heads of the UK. I hope this designer's creativity has inspired you as it did me when I first saw it. My thoughts? Initially? 'I only wish my garden looked half as nice . . . . '

GOING REGAL

How do you get that regal look? Think Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. She wore the jewels and carried off that stunning hairdressing that made her look like royalty. With just a few choice accessories, you can get a look perfect for any grand ball room wedding.

Start with the opera gloves. Add the silver bracelet and it's 'Your highness"

A REAL HOLIDAY TREAT

Just in time for the holidays, Christmas brides will want to check out this gem with a wreath collar by Gianni Calignano. Reminscent of the 1930s it has a sort of movie star quality going on with the damask skirt. This would be a great look for the Christmas Wedding in a place like The Plaza or Waldorf. Add some bling in the way of earrings and a necklace and your shimmering.

BRIDESMAIDS

Alfred Sung is one designer who has my complete, unobstructed and undivided attention this 2010 season. His bridesmaid collection really has some great Audreyesque dresses of which maybe a few maids can get some after-milage. Now, if we can just find a fabric that goes to a wedding as well as lunch in Santa Barbara, we'll have a Eureka! situation. I'm hoping more designers wise up and bring out more state-of-the-art silhouettes like these.
