The perfect wedding jewelry

Most of us have been dreaming about our wedding dress since we were little, but when we actually get the dress, accessorizing it can be a little overwhelming.  Here are just a few tips to keep in mind.

  • Keep it simple.  If your dress is heavily embroidered, go for a simple piece.  If your dress is simple, you can have more extravagant jewelry.  Otherwise, to quote "My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ you might end up looking like a snowbeast.
  • Choose classic jewelry.  This is the jewelry that you will pass on to your daughters someday & say that you wore it on your wedding day.  Make sure it’s something of good quality in a style that will stand the test of time.
  • Show your personality. If you love pearls or diamonds, great.  If you want to bring a little color into your wedding ensemble, you could use an aquamarine as your something blue.

Aspiring fashionistas

I think I first became interested in fashion when I started playing with paper dolls. They had the coolest clothes, that I was sure were just like “grown up” clothes. (I’ve been a “grown up” for awhile now, but I still haven’t worn a hat or carried a parasol). The only problem with this was that I had to cut out the clothes myself, & they never seemed to stay on the doll. Besides the fact that I would have thousands of pieces of paper all over my room that would get crumpled & wrecked. I’m sure my mom couldn’t have been very crazy about that.

This is why new virtual dolls are so cool. It started when webkinz made stuffed animals virtual. Now cartoondollemporium does the same with 750 cartoon dolls that can be dressed up. This is a huge site, with over 3 million visitors a month, that stay on average for 20 minutes at a time. Plus, we never had a Catherine Zeta Jones doll back in the day & it’s free. This is a great site for all the aspiring fashionistas out there, or anyone just trying to get in touch with their inner child.
