Color me Yellow


Sunflowers
by Vincent Van Gogh

I was recently able to visit the National Museum in London, England.  Oh, what a treat! I was able to see two of Van Gogh's sunflower paintings side by side. They had been painted about 10 years apart. 
So cool!
It was really neat to see how he subtly changed the colors and brush strokes over the years.

I guess it has put me in a 
YELLOW mood!

From there, it isn't too far for me to jump to
Yellow fashions!

So, here we go on a sunshiny-yellow fashion adventure!

and some shoes to match -

Rosamund Pike at the 2008 Oscars

I think Rosamund's outfit would be pretty 
with a surprise pop of color, 
like these:

Bubble Earrings, Statement Earrings, Crystal Earrings, Rhinestone Earrings, Wedding Party Stud Earrings, Drop Earring Studs  (E-048)

Doesn't Melora need these to complete her ensemble?

or perhaps she can't as Nancy has snapped them up 
as the perfect foot attire for this dress:

Solange Knowles

Solange's dress is beautiful with it's simple lines.
How about these bling shoes for when she shows a little leg?

I can definitely see Fergie in these too...

This time it is worn by Emily Blunt

Leslie Mann adds a couple of touches of blue 
to accentuate this lovely yellow and white lace dress-

What do you think?
Would Teri Hatcher look super adding a pair of vintage snakeskin shoes to this ensemble?

I think they might also look really stunning with
Kim Kardashian's outfit:

Lea Michel at the Tony Awards

I have to say, Lea's dress just does nothing for me.
Perhaps this would make it prettier:

These kicky glamour shoes 
would add a bit of 'modern/vintage' 
to Vanessa's dress:

I would not add one thing to Minnie's outfit -

Well, it's time to close.
Yes, I do have more gorgeous yellow dresses and accessories to share, but let's save them for another day, okay?

Enjoy your day, whether it is sunny outside or not,
it's up to you to make it sunshiny inside!

wedding finery

1942 wedding dress
www.victorianmagazine.com


Today I have just a few minutes but I wanted to check in with you all and say


Welcome!

bridal shower ideas
wordplay.hubpages.com


I am helping two friends with their back yard wedding tomorrow. It has been way fun doing planning, making decorations, etc.

Of course, my kitchen table is currently covered with silk flowers, wire nippers, ribbons, bows, butterflies of metal and silk, swaths of tulle.....
Yep, a real 'explosion' of wedding decor!

So, today let's share a bit about weddings, things I like, fun photos I have found, etc.

Let's look at some pretty, with non-traditional colors, wedding dresses!

This beauty was found at www.pakitrend.com


Here's another red color scheme:

Sorry, don't have any info on where I found this one.

I think that one is very elegant looking.
What do you think?
Do you like the latest fashion trends of non-traditional white or ivory
for a wedding dress?

This one is a 'color dipped' type dress, with the concentration of color at the very bottom.
I can't say I like it very much, how about you?

Just please, please, don't make the color a bright yellow,
with dreams of Big Bird....

This next one HAS to be a favorite, as it has a mermaid theme!

I would wear that one to a cruise ship evening attire event,
or a fancy ball.
Maybe not for a wedding dress...

Here is my idea for a Mermaid Wedding Dress:

I had fun adding the sea shells, star fish, pearls and strands of 'beaded' sea weed to this dress.  Of course, she IS a mermaid, so her wedding tiara
is fresh from the ocean!

Next is a lovely dress that reminds me of fireflies on a summer evening:

I think perfect for an evening garden party!

Here is one for a December wedding:

"Love isn't a state of perfect caring.
It is an active noun like struggle.
To love someone is to strive 
to accept that person 
exactly the way he or she is.
right here
and now."

 Mr. Rogers, "The World According to Mister Rogers"


Celebrities have loved colorful weddings for ages.
