The Bridal Blog just got back from, get this, her own wedding!
Dreamecho has Fops And Dandies (a Network Partner truly missed) on as a guest blogger!
Lollie Shopping's reader has an unfortunate e-commerce experience with Editor's Closet.
Yesterday, Coutorture and Fops and Dandies found themselves in the same stuffy showrooms for the first of this season's sample sales. The Dolce Vita sample sale, which we gave a shoutout in this week's Coutorture Cocktail, was where we bumped into the Coutorture Network Partner, amid her purchase of a fabulous canvas dress. We had just come from the Archetype sample sale (a showroom in Soho that reps, among others, Fremont, Corpus, Samantha Pleet, and Lorick) and she was just heading there, or so we discovered by reading her post today. To find out more about her sample sale score, check out her post on the adventure and, if you can't make the Dolce Vita sample sale (or just can't bear the chaos), our spread below has some of what Dolce's cookin up for Spring 08.
A petticoat perchance to dream! Feminine dresses come with spring but we get bored quickly with off the rack options. We admit we have a thing for full skirts and we can't think of any designers (well more like retailers) that do them at a reasonable price. Thus we were smitten with Fops and Dandies' crinoline petticoat tutorial. And if you succeed in making your own you will need a few vintage finds that scream out for a nice full skirt. We suggest community partners Shrimpton Couture, Zuburbia and Debutante Clothing.

When our network partner, Fops And Dandies, put together an outfit in homage of Elton John, we thought to expand on the idea with a little razzle dazzle of our own. Luckily, we're long past the days where young women wear sparkly tank tops and 'wet curls' in honor of a night on the town. That doesn't mean, however, a little sparkle is impossible to conjure. Indeed, New York City can bring out the drag queen in all of us and as a general rule, no matter how wacked you think you look when you step out the door, we guarantee someone else will have taken it a step further. Below, our spread of some summertime gems that would look great layered with different textures and colors, for a wild and crazy, dare we say it, 'boho luxe' look. Opulence, afterall, is a trend bound for Fall 08, so consider it a wise investment, if nothing else.
