Nothing Marge Simpson… or B-52ish about the modern beehive {no offense moms}!  This retro updo trend has evolved into a style that’s well … a little softer and a little smoother.  Check out these variations.

Beautiful profile.  Love the glam adornment.

Casual yet sophisticated… half updo with a side sweep.

More of a bouffant top and birdcage veil. I think she rocks it quite well.

Your thoughts on the modern beehive?

Which adornment or headpiece do you like best with this type hairstyle?

in these shoes! Seriously! I was sent a sample pair of these dance-inspired {Burju} shoes for review and let me just say~ they are as comfortable and high quality as they are gorgeous!  Truly…

I think I can speak for many of us who forgo comfort in lieu of style… especially when it comes to shoes.

{Tie the Knot: red satin with brown pearl fabric on heel and soft leather upper and suede sole}

Burju Perez is the choreographer, dancer, dance studio owner and designer behind Burju Shoes and a woman faced with the same style vs. comfort dilemmas as you and I.  So inspired, Burju has designed shoe lines that successfully marry glamour and stylishness with the comfort and support of a professional dance shoe.  Her shoe lines resonate not only with the dancer, but also with professional men and women, children and brides.

Based out of Boston and available internationally, there are currently over 50 styles of shoes which can all be custom-ordered.  We’re talking color combos, width, heel height, trim, detailing and beadwork.

Here are a few beauties from the Bridal Line…

Brilliance: satin with jewel gathering

Linked: elegant satin with pink flash

Diamonds are 4-ever: with danging crystals

Silhouette: white gold flitter with light gold lining

Beautiful, stylish, full of support and incredibly comfortable!  Check out all the collections at BurjuShoes.com

Happy Friday!

Tend to get chilled easily?  I know I do.  A wedding wrap will not only pump up your chic volume but also keep you all warm and cozy for those cool evenings, early spring temps and cooler season weddings!  Feminine and glamorous to be sure…

I first saw this elegant “Garden Roses” silk wrap on Bride Chic and was easily led over to the designer’s Etsy shop~ Modern Romance where I also found…

this lovely shantung silk capelet.  Both of these wraps have a certain stated Jackie Kennedy-type elegance, don’t you think?

Also beckoning my attention~ this chic, crushed velvet cape.

Ahh… loving this Maribou feather boa stole by Etsy designer LenaKanter711

So Hollywood!  So classy!

fantastically fun and gorgeous and with a hint of vintage… {image by One Love Photo}

Laid back.  Cool. Calm.  I think I could really get used to the idea of wearing a cardigan… casual and quite lovely at the same time.  I found these images at the Homegrown blog {via Party Perfect and Brides Cafe’}.

What’s your style of wrap?   for chic factor… for warmth… for both?
