AND you know what that means.... Monday Night Jamz! So here's another (appropriate) tune you can add to your playlist. A lil somethin that'll make you shake yo (_!_), but not leave nana shakin her head sayin, "What the hell are kids listening to these days?".
and I've got some real gansta weddings comin atcha.
Samuel and Jessica's wedding has so many badass and touching elements it makes me wanna dance around in a circle naked with my arms up. You'll see why.
I know the video is like 10 minutes long, so I'll try to give the impatient ones some highlights.
1. Lanterns instead of bridesmaids bouquets (00:48)
2. Drumming down the aisle (00:62)
3. The cutest flower girl outfits (1:41)
4. Sweet bridal headgear (2:22)
5. Green bridal bouquet (2:42)
6. A bride who knows how to rock her tresses and earlobes (2:55)
7. Feet washing! (so much more touching/appropriate than garter groping) (3:00)
Kate Bingaman-Burt turns her mundane purchases into art. I love seeing art imitating life. You can buy her awesome prints here and here and subscribe to her zine.
I was seriously out of my chair, when K at Blog Goggles showed me Natalie Hormilla's (ex-editor of Fashionista.com) electric-blue wedding dress. It was made by Karolina Zmarlak, and inspired by Lanvin, Spring 08.
While you're at the spa before your wedding, gettin' yo hair and nails did, don't forget about gettin' yo man a barbershop shave. There's something so alluring to getting a professional, single blade shave. Make sure its not a unisex one- the traditional ones give the best shaves (or so I'm told). Apparently, it makes men feel manlier.
I was lookin' at these rings on West Aussie Wedding, and I'm lovin the idea of a combined wedding band and engagement ring. The designs are so my style! Practically speaking, it would be easier to wear/take off one ring. But, I am a little concerned with the logistics involved at the ceremony. What do you guys think of the idea?
Here are some of my faves that I've found across the internets.
Seems like Barbie's makin a comeback today. The July issue of Italia Vogue has come out with a new Black Barbie issue, with a 100-page spread of Mattel's new black Barbies. Way to get with the times!
Those of you that have been followin me know that I never post anything about about stationary or calligraphy. Personally I think its boring. Every once in awhile, I'll see something so off tha chain, that I have to post about it. This is one of those times.
The watercolor is so beautiful here, and I think it could be easily replicated. DIY anyone?
Whatever happened to friendship bracelets? I used to love them, and make them all for my lil homies. They meant so much because you knew that your friend spent all that time weavin you a gift. I was thinking about bridesmaid gifts today and I realized that I was stressin out way too much. They're really just grown versions of friendship bracelets. All you need to do is show your girls that you appreciate them for being there for you through all your drama.
Damn, these shoes are fine. Mr. Hare's got a passion for strictly men's footwear (darnit). All the grooms out there should pick up some of these badboys. Or these, of course.
I went to a party last night, where I saw the DJ playing around with this app, and shit was tight. I know a lot of you are opting for an iPod over a DJ or a band for financial reasons, but this is another reason why you could do it yourself. You can scratch, speed up, slow down, get all Girl Talk on it, and then record, for a sweet mix for your wedding.
I have seen a lot of vintage wedding styles lately, and a lot of them, seem a little too much. But, I absolutely loved this bride's style. Her bridesmaids look perfection- sweet and sassy. This how you do it folks!
This song just blows my mind. I can't believe it was made last year! It sounds so timeless and soulful to me. Seems like the Brownwood Bubblers label has got some serious artists with the good kind of swag, so check em out. If you want a unique first dance song, this one's it.
The other day, I got an email from Jen about the gangsta bachelorette party she threw for her homegirl Lori, who apparently has mad rappin and worm skillz.
Jen writes, No male genitalia and princess crowns here! We crafted her some awesome accessories that brought old school and new school together.
Gangstas come in all shapes and sizes. These girls know how to keep it real. Check it out.
Lori, the gangsta bride-to-be, rockin' a thick chain. (It reads, "Countdown to the wedding.")
And obviously, real gangsta chicks knit real gangsta sweaters. Ice cube and NWA got this on backorder.
And a boombox cake with a dash of dopeness comin at yo palate.
You guys are awesome! Shout out to Lori- Congrats, I hope you and yo gangsta live happily eva afta.
I'm diggin all the handmade ruffles- perfect for the itty bitty titty committee (read: me). Only $275 on CLF by Claire La Faye at Etsy!
Looks like someone is up on her ish with the friendship bracelets. Bet the bridesmaids had em too.
This girl's gonna take over the world some day. She's drop dead, she's got the voice, and she's got the style.
