Links we Love by Lauren Ricciardelli

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with Carla of CLM Makeup here in New York.  Carla is the extremely talented (and gorgeous) owner of CLM Makeup, the company that will make you look like a star on your wedding day. (She does both makeup AND hair!) Check out her website and blog for the fantastic makeup she’s done for everything from fashion mags to weddings!  And if all this talent wasn’t enough, she’s super sweet and has an adorbs puppy!

It’s Wednesday again my lovelies! Let’s talk trends: I’m so excited about all the fabulous head pieces walking down the bridal runway for Fall/Winter 2010/2011 and Spring 2011. Florals, hats, crystals, oh my! But we can’t all pull the pennies together for a Carolina Herrera hat, now can we darlings? Try gorgeous up and comers Twigs and Honey for a range of beautiful and sweet head wraps, floral pieces, and more. Creator Myra Callan is a design genius–I simply can’t choose which one I like the most. Get ready for some serious eye candy and check out these pieces.

all: Twigs and Honey

See you next week for the hottest! xoxo Wendy
