Vera Wang - What Kind of Bride Are You?

Vera Wang is one of my favorite Designers. Her trademark style incorporates couture fashion detailing, luxurious fabrics, and sophisticated and elegant designs that are truly sensational. She has made wedding gowns for countless celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Uma Thurman and Mariah Carey to name but a few!

I recently found the 'What Kind of Bride Are You' section on her website. It is very useful to brides who are trying to determine their style and how they would like their wedding to look! Check it out at: http://www.verawangonweddings.com/inspiration/2_2a_what_kind_of_bride_are_you.aspx

Meeting Event Planning Extrodinaire and Lifestyle Expert, Colin Cowie!


I was thrilled to meet Colin Cowie last week when I was in Atlanta for Trade Shows. His new book 'Colin Cowie Chic' is full of practical advice on everything from 'fearless entertaining' to 'traveling in style'. I could not put it down! It was interesting to learn about his background and how his passion has propelled him to become so successful. He is extremely fastidious and organized in his day to day life and this enables him to take on even more challenges in his career. His renowned parties have made him a favorite of various different celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, John Travolta & Elton John.
He is truly an inpirational man!
