Merry Christmas 2012

What a fantastic year 2012 has been, I've had one of the best years... from broken kitten legs, travelling the world, to engagements (not mine) and brilliant friends and family!!

Here's to the adventures of 2013, and all those lucky boys and girls getting engaged, married and or knocked up this holiday season :-)

For those of you in London, England don't forget to visit the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park - gets you ready for Christmas turkey, mulled wine and hairy men climbing down the chimmy late at night... ho ho ho

GET THE LOOK: Russian Royalty Themed Wedding

Inspired by the beauty of Anna Karenina... how about a snowy, high society classic Russian themed wedding.

Anna Karenina was written by Leo Tolstoy in 1873-77.  Last night I saw the modern screen play starring Keira Knightly, Jude Law and the very sexy Aaron Taylor Johnson!

A/W 2012 fashions are very on trend with the Russian high society glamour..

Devils in the details... Wedding Dress 2012/2013

It's all about lace and detailing for autumn winter 2012 and spring summer 2013 for wedding dress... there is still an emphasis on the romantic, eclectic vintage esq styles!  The late 20's / 30's something crowd are really embrassing the old which has filtered down into every aspect of our daily lives.

When will a 'new' trend come along... not that I don't like these, I'd just like to see what they come up with?

I'd really like to see more colour in wedding dress... against the grain I know... but I'm really loving these pastel shades on the fashion catwalks!!  http://www.beforethebigday.co.uk/2011/11/100-ways-to-personalise-your-wedding.html
