What's Hot Now: Alice in Wonderland Wedding Accessories

Alice2
I'm incredibly excited to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (I've been hooked on his movies since Edward Scissorhands)! And, in honor of opening weekend (March 5th) I've decided to pull together some of my favorite Wonderland- and wedding-worthy finds.

Clockwise from top left

Edible Favors These "Eat Me"Chocolate Bars won't make your guests grow or shrink, but there's still nothing sweeter than a sugary send-off. Or, snag some "Drink Me" Plastic Cups for your favor.

Grooms Attire Want to be a Mad Hatter host? Skip the top hat and go for the Polka Dot Tie instead.

Groomsmen Gift Giving the guys in your party this silver plated pocket-watch is about the only way to guarantee they'll show up to the ceremony on time.

Bridesmaid Gift Swarovski and Disney have paired up to make these adorable Alice in Wonderland jewels. This Key Pendant is magical and mysterious, but still modern and completely wearable.

Bridal Headpiece Channel your inner Alice with this beautiful floppy-bow headband

Wedding Clutch Now here's a bag the Queen of Hearts would approve of. Why "paint the roses red" when you can have this crystal-studded clutch

Registry Item Have your own tea party with this stackable espresso set.

Favor Idea Wrap these printed Alice in Wonderland Coasters with a blue ribbon for the ultimate themed take-away.

What's Hot Now: The Wedding Workout You Wear

filed under: Accessories, Fashion
Shatobu

So, I know these look just like any other control-top, tummy-tucking suit (and they'll do that), but the ShāToBu Shaper is actually more of an excuse to skip the gym.

If you hate running "laps" on a treadmill (like me) then you'll either have to diet (ugh) or find some other way to burn calories. Well, here it is: The built-in resistance bands---yep, the very same ones you'd find in the gym---make your legs and butt work just a bit harder when you're walking home from work or heading to a party.

Gym-goer or not...would you try them?

Make Your Mark: Lipstick You'll "Love"

filed under: Beauty
Lipsticklove Here's the deal--- even if you ignore the fact that this Estee Lauder Hydra Lustre Lipstick is super hydrating (which it is) and forget that the Kissable Lip Gloss goes on super smooth (which it does), you can't overlook the adorable LOVE logo, right?

I think it's the perfect way to make your wedding day makeup feel extra special.
What do you think?

Gown Preservation: Spot Cleaning for your Wedding Dress

filed under: Fashion

Stainremoval Don't toss your Tide sticks just yet, but I wouldn't recommend cleaning your wedding dress with it either.

What I can suggest---stuffing Madame Paulette's Stain Removal Kit in your day-of emergency bag. I've tested it... it works!
