A Kiss w/ Love

I am ending a chapter in my life. I am hapy to say that this blog is going into the graveyard. I am not going to delete it(because i want to keep it as a record of my middle school years). My other blog will carry on and i will transfor my links there but this is the end. I am not the same person i was when i started it and now I am not using blogging for an escape but now as a way of communicating my ideas with other people. Now, i will still post fashion on my other blog but fashion has become something different for me. At age 11(when i started this blog) fashion was a way of rebelling but now it's become so much of way of life that i'm not testing the waters like i used to. Last year, I never understood how someone could put so effort into a blog then leave it but now i know. They have turned a chapter and i am now doing that.
You will hear from me and if i ever get a book published I promise to maek a mention of you guys because you were my inspiration. The people that I have meet and will contiune to meet have opened up new doors to a life i never knew that was out there.
This isn't a goodbye but the opening of a new book and means of showing that i have mature more than i reallly had ever thought i could do in the begining. Please come vist me at my other blog(http://ticbc.blogspot.com/) but this is the end of the line for this one. You might not understand yet, but you will in time. Kisses girls and best of luck w/ blogging~ Izabella

Princesses, lace, ivory and Vivienne Westwood

To celebrate Valentines Day tomorrow, I thought it would be nice to be all romantic and post about wedding dresses. Iconic ones, obviously though!

This ivory silk taffetta wedding dress was the creation of Ann Lowe, an African American dress maker. This dress featured a portrait neckline, bouffant skirt decorated with interwoven bands of tucking and tiny wax flowers. The bride wore her grandmother’s heirloom rosepoint lace veil, attached to her hair with a small tiara of lace and traditional orange blossoms. This arisocratic dress and grand wedding made for the beginnings of an iconic couple and Jackie as a style icon.

Both Brigitte and Bianca chose non - traditional wedding dresses. Brigitte's famous pink gingham dress made gingham the lastest in fashionable fabrics and not something just for the picnic cloth. Meanwhile Bianca's iconic white suit, which she wore on her wedding day to Mick Jagger, was her defining fashion moment.

Two of Hollywood's greatest icons stepped out in style on their wedding days. Marilyn wore this chic ouftit to her 1954 registry office wedding to Joe Dimaggio. The white flounce of the sleeves and collar added a girlish feminemity. Audrey wore a youthful 60s mini dress on her 1969 wedding day. Audrey proved style iocn status in this playful yet incredibley elegant and fashonable dress. The funnel neck, flute sleeves and a headscarf instead of a tradional veil made for a truely unique wedding day ensemble.

Dita looked incredibly gothic in this sensational Vivienne Westwood gown. This huge royal purple, silk taffetta creation was worn with a theatrical tricorn hat. Gwen also showed that wedding dresses aren't all about white lace in this memorable John Galliano gown. Gwen wore an antique veil with this deep - pink to soft rose blush to ivory white fading dress, making it no doubt iconic.

Grace Kelly looked the epitomy of elegance and beauty on her wedding day. The flowing train, full skirt and oriental - esque jacket made for a truly unfrogettable gown that continues to inspire designers to this day. And besides no one does beauty better then a princess.

I know, I know we haven't even seen the film yet but we have sure as hell seen this dress! You could not read a blog nor open a magazine last autumn without seeing Carrie's Vivienne Westwood wedding dress. The sumptuous cream layers and the feathered hair piece create a wonderfully avant garde and wonderfully 'Carrie' wedding ensemble. The biggest 'celeb' wedding in recent memory was definitely the TomKat extravaganza. Katie was elegant in this graceful Armani gown. The lace and sparkle detailing meant for a timeless, gorgeously romantic wedding dress.

Diana's wedding dress was also featured on my In celebration of the Iconic Dress post, the fact that it made both lists proves it's level of iconicness. This enormous Elizabeth Emanuel wedding dress of cream and ivory taffetta was the last word in extravagance. The Layers, puff sleeves, the flowing veil and lace detailing inspired a decade of wedding dresses. As Vera Wang said "Diana's dress was amazing because it stood for so much: for her youth, who they were and the life she was marrying into."
