Definition:Companion n. A person who accompanies or associates with another; a comrade. A domestic partner. A person employed to assist, live with, or travel.
No matter who you are or where you are from, its human nature to desire a companion. A companion can add a sense of fulfillment to your day to day life. This person can also bring out the best in you through encouragement, laughter and even a simple smile. I became so fascinated by this short film that I wanted to share it with you. The producer decided on the title Signs, but I’ve renamed itCompanion-When Boy Meets Girl, because the film caused me to take away more than the obvious. Let me know what you think of this film by leaving a comment below.
Christine is holding an antique cameo jewelry piece that was placed on top of moss. Her faux pearl bracelet was the perfect accessory for the camel colored jacket.
I thought it would be cute to pair this lovely lace dress with a colorful shoe. It is not too overstated, leaving the dress to speak volumes.
I used an oversized gold picture frame and vintage lace runner in this shot.
You can see more of this shoot on Perfect Bound. Thank you to everyone who left lovely comments on the Perfect Bound blog in regards to both shoots.
I’m a wedding planner and all of my friend’s tend to look towards me for answers regarding wedding etiquette. I’ve been asked questions regarding gift giving, thank you notes and the list goes on. The most common question I’ve been asked is what to wear at an afternoon wedding. Of course the obvious answer is stay away from white. My West Indian upbringing also results in me advising to stay away from reds and all black. Red is too bold and attention grabbing and black equates to mourning which most wear at funerals.
IF YOU ARE A GUEST, SAY NO TO RED, WHITES AND ALL BLACK
Although I adore this red dress on January Jones it is just not appropriate for a day wedding. I love a pant suit and this is gorgeous on Julia Roberts for this particular event, however it will not work for a wedding.
Don’t just take it from me, Clinton Kelly explains his reasoning in the below video. And on a side note, I just love the overall look on this guest. Isn’t she too cute for words.
Eva Mendes in this beautiful emerald green Prada dress and America Ferrera in this chic royal blue dress from Black Halo is an example of what you can wear to a wedding. I just love the styles of these two beautiful women.
