Lovestruck by Vera Wang

“Lovestruck is about the emotion and rush you feel when you are falling in love and going for it…those heart-pounding moments of spontaneity.” Vera Wang
 

The queen of all things romantic, Vera Wang, presents Lovestruck, just in time for Valentine's Day! 

Vera Wang Lovestruck was inspired by a modern day twist on Romeo & Juliet. It captures the feeling of a woman who is struck by love, captivated by passion. It represents an irresistible romance. She is madly in love and she’s going for it. The fragrance is feminine, romantic and modern. It is a sparkling, addictive floral you are sure to fall in love with. There’s an instant attraction to the mouthwatering pink guava and mandarin, followed by a delicate mix of tuberose and lotus blossom. Behind it all, precious woods and sheer musk envelope a passionate elegance.

Vera Wang Lovestruck is available 12th February 2012 from Myer, David Jones, The Perfume Connection and selected pharmacies for a limited time only.

Blue and White

If it's a classic colour theme that you are after for your wedding, rather than opting for the traditional theme of back and white, have you considered blue and white? Not a soft, sky blue, but rather a deep, inky navy blue. It's fresh and bright, but with just the right amount of formality!

Check out our beautiful Polyvore for some blue and white inspiration…

A Beautiful Italian Wedding

 

I love coming in on a Monday morning and having a look through all the beautiful weddings that took place over the weekend. And when I saw Magnolia Rouge's post on a stunning Italian wedding, I simply had to share it! 

The scenery is absolutely breathtaking (look at the stunning mountains in the background!!), while the bride's super cute gown – complete with embroidered black and white flowers – and braided hair are a perfect match for her gorgeous t-bar shoes! And how about the chapel! What an amazing place to be married in! 

Have a look through the images below, and be sure to visit Magnolia Rouge for the full article and credit list.
