*Shoes-day* Tuesday!

these are so "Lady GaGa" and I'm in LoVe!

OuT & About ...

a few pictures from the 'Bridal Show'...

A Must-Have...

Ready for a super chic page-turner?

Well, when it comes to icons, some are totally untouchable,

and just no one compares to this one.

THE Woman who started it all and who practically invented fashion as we know it,

Coco Chanel.

From the creation of the "little black dress",

remember Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's',

to the very idea of couture.

Always ahead of her time, the woman lived a seriously crazy life of... design, art, fashion, and-ahem-boyfriends. SO just how did she go from the poorhouse to the top of fashion house?

That's only a question that Karen Karbo answers in her half-biopic half-self-help book,

*The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman*

This is definitely on our 'List of Things' to get!

It's 5 o'clock Somewhere, right!?

Busy, busy Friday! Running around trying to get things ready for the Bridal Show on Sunday and work on proposals and a ceremony set-up all at the same time....and now it is pouring, so I figured it was a good time to update the blog.

Do you ever have days that it seems like the "faster you go, the behinder you get"?!? That is I how I feel today....

The weekend is almost here... sometime over the weekend have a great cocktail and relax a little!

Stop by and see us at the Bridal Show at the Downtown Sheraton - 1-5pm...maybe share a cocktail with us! ;) Have a great weekend.

pink, piNK, PINK!

... it's more than just a color!

New Trend Alert...

It seems that more and more brides are using a favorite song, or even a meaningful song of the couples, in the overall theme of the wedding.



One for me, personally, that comes to mind for *Chic Talk* is "PINK" by Aerosmith... Chic is definitely pink friendly!



So get creative, what would be your favorite or a meaningful song that would help express you and your love on your special day? Maybe the two of you have a favorite song, or maybe he has given you a song?



You could use the lyrics throughout key pieces on your day, the wedding cake, wedding programs, attached to your favors, break up the song lyrics and place in frames to be placed on your tables during the reception, use the song title as a signature drink for the cocktail hour! The possibilities are limitless!

"Shoes-day" Tuesday!

Ok - couldn't resist...had to post some "bridal" shoes! Cute, huh!? Always fun to have something a little 'unexpected' on your wedding day.

Monday, Monday, Monday!

Hope everyone had a good Monday,

here at *Chic* we had yet again another busy busy Monday,

hence why we are just now blogging!
