The Beauty Underneath: Princesse tam.tam Lingerie

Girls, you know that there is a big difference in the way that you feel when you have on you trusty hanes and when you have on something covered in lace. You feel pretty and so lovely. So if you are looking for something lovely to wear underneath it all, then Princesse tam.tam has the perfect garments for you. Here's a few of their wares and see the entire collection here.






Elementary Designing: Lorenzo Riva

You have to love a man that designed his first evening gown for his sister when he was eleven years old. When you are surrounded by beautiful models for most of your young life (his mother and sisters were all models), you almost have to go into fashion design, right? Well, I for one am glad that he did. Look at the results. See the entire collection on his web site.






It's Not The Bag: Devi Kroell

While designer Devi Kroell is well known for her gorgeous bags, she should also get props for her fabulous shoe collection. If you are in New York, then stop by her store in East Hampton. The second and third ones are my favs. See her shoe and bag collection on her web site.

The Classic Look Revisited: Johanna Hehir

Let's revisit the classic look. This look has been the ideal look for many, many years. It is very Audrey Hepburn and Doris Day. It has beautiful lines and can stand the test of time. I think that British designer, Johanna Hehir's collection can do just that. Her dresses have that classic style but fresh and modern. See her entire collection here. These are my favorites:








The Little Princess: Kids Magical Wonder



Too cute. Available from Kids Magical Wonder.

This dress is stunning. I love the bare back. I also love the ruffles. The ruffles give the dress a soft touch. It is made by Divine Couture and there are more great dresses in this collection.

Do As The Scots Do: David Purves Bridal

Scottish-born designer, David Purves definitely believes in pushing the envelope and testing the waters. His bridal collection ranges from the drop dead gorgeous to borderline bizarre.
