Fashion Monday: Thread Social

Priscilla of Boston is partnering with contemporary label Thread Social to launch a collection of special occasion dresses. The collection will debut in late June at
Priscilla of Boston salons located in Philadelphia, PA, Scottsdale, AZ and San Jose, CA, with plans to expand to additional locations in the fall.

The collection consists of nine silhouettes, all boasting the femininity and versatility for which both Thread Social and Priscilla of Boston are known and loved. With styles short and long, striped and solid, each style is as varied as the woman who will wear it: A black and gold polka-dotted swingy dress screams easy ‘50s glam, while a softly striped silk cotton gown gives new meaning to casual chic. Classic Thread Social details, such as ruffles and bows, appear throughout the collection, as do some of the label’s beloved silhouettes, including the popular one-shoulder style.

The retail prices range from $250 to $450, and sizes run from 2 to 14.

Kimberly Minor, GMM/Chief Fashion Strategist of Priscilla of Boston says “This is an exciting opportunity to add ready-to-wear fashion to our collection of custom-made bridal and social dresses. Thread Social’s appeal to the young and spirited fashionista will add a new dimension to our current collection of brands.”

We think these would make fabulous, unconventional bridesmaids dresses or to make your debut at your rehearsal!

Details: The Curly Willow White/Ivory Cap from Wildflower Linens

My adoration runs deep for Wildflower Linens, and I absolutely LOVE this chair cap from their white ivory collection.  Trust me, this is just one of many beautiful designs available.  However, this one was so incredibly striking for me because I loved the ornate filigree work on the gold chair with its understated padding.  Yet it is the bunched ruffled satin cap that adds the plush glamour to the overall design.

We Likey: Luxe Links

This week’s We Likey has sentimental value.  Back home in Baltimore, whenever I went to my favorite salon, there were only two rules: 1.)  Have a good time and 2.) Keep your purse OFF the floor. 

I remember having this conversation with the woman who would shampoo me every week in Spanish. Naturally, I thought something was lost in translation or it was  Dominican superstition.  She swore it was bad luck to leave your purse on the floor…under any circumstances.  Not to mention for the purse’s own security and cleanliness, she had a point.  Enter: Luxe Link.  First, the name is divine.  Secondly, the product is so smart and FABULOUS!  Never worry about where to put your purse with Luxe Link.  With its gorgeous designs ranging from those made with Swarovski crystals, a bridal line and many more, these make for perfect bridesmaids gifts.

Luxe Link® offers a collection of stylish purse holders that wrap around a swanky circular top, adorned with modern, playful designs. No larger than the size of a poker chip, Luxe Link® purse holders are portable, light and easy to use – not to mention adorable. The bridal collection itself has a number of styles perfect to commemorate the important day and the women with whom you’re celebrating.

We Likey: The Tiffany iPhone App

Tiffany Iphone App

The little blue box makes it way to your iPhone!

Tiffany and Co. offers its first app with the ring size finder, there is nothing like it. Plus, you can also make an appointment to go in store or set up a call with a consultant via the app as well.

The app allows you to choose an engagement ring (there are 44 on the app) from the storied fine jewelry house, find out information about settings/diamonds/carats/cut/metal, pair it with a band that fits with the ring, and determine ring size (how many men have had to find sneaky ways to figure that out – and failed!!!) by placing a ring on the screen and scrolling through sizes to find a match. Director of Media Relations for Tiffany & Co. says, “The new iPhone engagement app provides another access point to Tiffany’s expertise and knowledge.  Today more and more people are getting their information through mobile devices. We are now providing an additional interactive way to browse the Tiffany engagement selection. Tiffany recognizes that its customers are engaged in social media. We are hopeful this app provides an easy and effective tool for them to communicate with others on the magic of a Tiffany engagement ring. “

Indeed it does….

You can download the app from the iTunes store or see it in action:

Details: Faisselle Popsicles from Tartlette

Faisselle Ice Cream & Raspberry Popsicles

To say that I adore these sumptuous faisselle ice cream and raspberries popsicles from My Tartlette would be quite the understatement.  It is not that I feel like I can taste the delicious frozen treat through the images, but I love the presentation as well.  The story behind her love for faiselle was just as provoking as her description:

A few raspberries mulled with honey dropped at the bottom of a shot glass and topped with faisselle ice cream and there you have the perfect mix of tangy, creamy and refreshing.

Note the simple platter and delicate handkerchief upon which the ice cream sits.  It evokes charm, memories of home and a warm invitation, therefore all the more perfect to be served during your cocktail hour at your summer wedding.

Fashion Monday: Dress Fabulously with eDressMe

Online shopping has revolutionized everyday life, and your wedding is not excluded from its goodness.  Now with eDressMe, the premier website for dresses for all occasions, has offered tips for choosing the best dress to wear as a guest for every type of wedding.  These, in our opinion, even work fabulously for bridesmaids dresses as well.

 

Black Tie Affairs – Slip on that snazzy cocktail dress you have been waiting to wear because for a black tie affair you can wear a very dressy short gown.

Destination Weddings– If you are dealing with a venue of sun and sand, opt for light and flowing fabrics in bohemian prints or vibrantly graceful colors.

Garden Ceremony– A short colorful dress or a beautiful print will look wonderful against the backdrop of nature. Avoid anything too dressy or embellished and stick to comfortable and playful.
