It Don't Matter If You're Black or White
Black and white is by far one of the most popular colour combinations for weddings. Either on it's own or teamed with a colour such as pink, yellow or blue, it's a striking, sophisticated and modern colour choice. It's easy to have this combination look run-of-the-mill if you don't pay close attention to details. Stationery, your cake, clothing and small details, such as favours, are the best ways to make your black and white combination stand out from the plethora of others. When using black and white it's also a good idea to incorporate different textures and patterns through the use of fabrics and wallpapers. We did a great story on black and white in issue 3 of Style Guide and I've incl. some of our stationery, available in our online store, in the Polyvore to show you how effective patterns can be in a black and white setting.

Shoe Love
As many of our dear bloggers will know I'm a bit of a shoe addict. Shoe's were, according to my Mum, my first passion, followed closely by friends, boys and parties. I had to share with you these most gorgeous Christian Louboutin's. OH MY! Love comes in many shapes and forms and for me, these are it! Although on the very pricey side they would be worth every cent. Imagine your bridesmaids sashaying down the aisle in these numbers. No doubt you would have girls eyeing them off... and not in the kind way. Available online from www.net-a-porter.com.

Girls Guide
I have just found out about Girls' Guide to the World which is a bit like trip advisor but for stylish women who want to know where to shop, eat, drink, sleep, pamper, and play. Girls’ Guide has done all the research for you and provides unbiased and insightful tips for women, by women with high expectations and a craving for fashionably experiencing the world. It features over 3,000 venues in over 100 hand-picked cities around the globe. Girls’ Guide to the World was thought up by 28 year old Carey Schuster, an American interior designer living and working in Sydney. Schuster has a craving for outstanding design, cuisine, service, entertainment, fashion, and architecture, especially when she’s travelling. “When I choose to spend the money and time to travel, I don’t want to be disappointed. I want to eat at the tasty restaurant off of Main Street that the locals are trying to keep secret. I want to stay at the hippest hotels, which doesn’t always mean the most publicized or most expensive. And when I hit the shops, I want to know about up and coming local designers and where to find their labels. That’s where Girls’ Guide delivers. There is no better advice than a discerning woman’s first hand account.”

Orange and Blue How Do You Do?
One of my favourite colour combinations for spring/summer 2010 is orange and pale aqua blue. Orange is emerging as one of the hottest colours for the warmer months and teemed with this delightful blue it really is a force to be reckoned with. I think it would make such a colourful, fun palette for either a wedding or engagement party. This Oscar de la Renta dress is just gorgeous. I know it's extravagant but imagine your bridesmaids all lined up in this creation. Simply delicious! Blue cakes aren't always that appealing, however a cake in a super soft shade can look lovely and oh so pretty. Flowers are a great and easy way to incorporate the orange palette as there's so much variety. I suggest scouring your flower markets for great ideas. I think this palette for spring/summer 2010 is going to mighty popular!

Fantastic Felt
I adore these lovely felt corsages from Etsy by AAliciaAccessories. The simplicity and elegance of these beautiful pieces would be a perfect adornment for a winter wedding outfit - many of them would even look divine used as table decorations, winding down the centre of the table.

Super Silica
There is one thing brides want (just about as much as the perfect wedding dress) and that's flawless skin. You'll change your diet, stop drinking alcohol, do more exercise and undertake a ridiculous beauty plan all in the hope of having a crystal clear glow. I'm always intrigued by models beauty regimes and recommendations and after reading an interview with Australian model Abbey Lee Kershaw, who said she swore by Silica, I was in. I headed straight to my local pharmacy and low and behold, there it was. I am now nearly through my second bottle (I opted Planet Health Qsilica in liquid form) and cannot speak highly enough of it. My complexion is clear and even, redness has been well and truly reduced, my nails and cuticles are the healthiest they've ever been, my hair breakages have been reduced to the bare minimum, my hair is growing faster and my skin in general is softer, smoother and responds even better to moisturiser. Could it honestly get any better?! I've now converted a few girlfriends after they pointed out my skin was looking fab. The best ever proof that something is working wonders! Planet Health's Qsilica Gel is a convenient form of mineral silica, which is important for the health of connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, and joint cartilage. Silica also plays a key role in the production of collagen in the skin and can also help to support and maintain strong bones and teeth by playing a role in the metabolism of calcium in the body. Each bottle of gel lasts between 6-8 weeks (depending on how much you take) and will honestly make a huge difference. So, I have Abbey Lee Kershaw to thank now! Visit www.qsilica.com.au to find out more.
500ml bottle $29.95, 50 capsules $29.95 and 100 capsules $49.90

Choo for Everyone
I don't think I've ever met a girl who hasn't wished for a pair of Jimmy Choo's. They're the dream, the benchmark... and they make me very excited! I have, today, become rather jealous and a little bitter. Jimmy Choo are releasing a collection for High Street mega store H&M. If you are lucky enough to live in North America, Europe, the Middle East or Asia you will, no doubt, be rubbing your hands with glee while those of us who do not have an H&M store within reach scowl and think 'why me?'. From November 14 H&M will stock Jimmy Choo accessories for men and women, as well as a clothing line. So, get yourself prepped to battle the crowds on November 14. These hot little pieces will be gone before you have the chance to bat your eyelashes at the sales assistant. Visit www.hm.com for further details.
