They say that it’s traditional for the bride to wear red in some other countries for joy and love ie. the red heart, but now red wedding dresses are finally making their debut in the United States and not just for weddings taking place on Valentine’s Day. Gone is the limiting choice of wearing white, off white, ecru et al. Nowadays you can basically make your wedding anything you want to because it’s YOUR day. Anybody know the designer? I’m sure I’ll be asked and I can’t locate the name right now. Would you wear red to your wedding? Why or why not? Do you love this or hate it?

We don’t hop on the bandwagon of trends, we start them! The mosaic heart is totally making me swoon. You can no longer ROCK your favorite jeans with a typical belt. Kick your swag up a notch! Here’s what they’re saying:

Show off your love of art and unique style with this gorgeous belt strap and buckle from Just Reality. Featuring a cute heart-shaped peace sign made form rare beads surrounded by a tile background. This modern fashion statement is handmade from pieces of rare beads, semi-precious stones, glass and china and each buckle is unique. Colors and materials vary by season allowing a look that is all your own. Each piece is handcrafted in the USA and signed by the artist.

I’ve got it on my wishlist. Get your own peace in your heart here. Also check out:

Maybe it’s me but I don’t like it. First of all it’s GREEN. Secondly, what would you really wear it with besides JEANS? Third. Did you see the price? $6072.00. And yes that’s thousands. I tell you, when I become rich I still wouldn’t waste money on gawdy stuff like this. This just goes to show that just because you have money doesn’t mean you have class. It’s sad because they obviously priced it so high because they know someone will snag it. It just won’t be me. For six grand you can buy a quality female mink, pay off your car, or even take a gamble on the stock market. Heck taking a tumble there is safer than being caught wearing this monstrosity. Okay, well it’s not really THAT bad, but it doesn’t look much glitzier than a Swatch watch and for that price it should. Here are the stats though:

This watch features a case with 32 tsavorites and 0.47 ctw diamonds framing the Mother-of Pearl dial with a date window, and a Quartz Swiss ETA movement. Italian Design, Swiss made.

Go ahead, you know you want to SNEAK A PEEK.

We have a white and gold anniversary cruise for our Pastor that we’re attending at the end of the month. I got a cute white linen skirt suit and gold shoes and wanted just the right kind of bag to set it off. This one from Aldo fit perfectly. The one line product description sold me. It said, “Make any outfit go from cute to fabulous when you accessorize with this majestic handbag with pearly pastilles.” I love pastilles, although they’re hardly ever used in fashion much anymore. Originally priced at $35.00 it was discounted 71% when I saw it and snagged it for $9.98. Click here!
