The "Rare Bird of Fashion"

Okay, I have to mention this book I discovered yesterday while browsing around Barnes and Noble yesterday afternoon. The title "Rare Bird of Fashion" was magnetic to me- naturally, but I never could have predicted the wild 1960's couture and jewels within. AAHMAZING! All hail Iris the fashion stylist!

My New Mother Hen

Kelly Cutrone's new book If you have to Cry Go Outside-and other things your mother never told you, is a book that I could not put down from the time I cracked it open in Borders yesterday, to only a few moments ago when I turned over the very last page. I felt as though she were speaking to me personally as she recounted her arrival to New York city, seeking her "tribal council", and shares advice for those anxious to be successful in fashion and in life. This collection of her personal and professional stories are surprising, empowering, and touched this young fashion hopeful to the core. This is an excellent book for someone who's feeling out of place or incomplete in there current situation, as Kelly shares sassy straight forward advice from a real "fashion bitch" who has lived through all her wild life lessons.

-Sincerely,

Britty Bird

The little Ring that Sings

Although this pretty little bird can't speak, this golden ring by BCBG is definitely a conversation piece. It's a super fun, and colorful addition to any jewelry collection. This ring is available on bcbg.com, for $28.00.

The Love Dove

Pronovias is an 85 year old bridal company based in Barcelona, Spain, and my favorite bridal brand because of their variety, and outstanding quality. The Farandula is embelleshed with thousands of dainty feathers cascading down this strapless mermaid gown creating a dramatic, yet still flattering, and fluttering silhouette- perfect for the Britty Bird bride. The Farandula is one of the many gorgeous, and affordable gowns from the Pronovias 2011 Dreams collection.

These gowns will be premiering in Barcelona in the annual fashion show and buying event in June, that will not be shipped and available in stores to try on until the end of this year around Christmas. Hem and Her bridal is the exclusive provider of Pronovias gowns in Tucson, aswell as the stores listed on the official webpage. Get a sneak peak of the 2011 gowns on www.pronovias.com
