Maid of Honor Dress!

  After a heavy scouring of the internet along with a Powerpoint presentation of amazingly affordable maid of honor dresses, I stumbled into Bella Bridesmaid on Newbury Street in Boston and FELL IN LOVE with this dress.
  It is called the Jae dress by designer Joanna August. Yes it was ridiculously expensive, but the silk! OH THE SILK! It felt so good!
  And without being completely and over the top arrogant (yeah right)... I look amazing in it!
 Now granted I had to try on a size 8 and I happen to be a size less than zero, but the draping over my shoulder was phenomenal.
 So I emailed a pic to my sister and mom. They loved. Then dad gave me the money to buy it.
 Massive Score! WooHoo!

Classique Collections Review and DISCOUNT!

As mentioned in one of my last few posts, I am the maid of honor for my sister's wedding in Italy. Her color scheme is pink and yellow (think roses), so while I know it won't be too difficult to find a pink dress, I didn't know how to incorporate the yellow... until I thought about the Rachel Leigh Chain ribbon bracelets that were so popular a few seasons ago.

I jumped on Etsy.com to do a ribbon bracelet search, and I stumbled up the shop Classique Collections. The photos of wedding accessories were amazing! I couldn't believe my eyes with the creativity, elegance and craftmanship of the products... so naturally I contacted the owner, Sheena, to learn more.

Sheena was kind enough to let me review the Eva bracelet in Gold. When I tried on the bracelet, I was in LOVE. The bracelet visualized in person is even better than the pictures on Etsy. The detail and care were obvious. The talent can't be argued.

Sheen told me that she has always had an interest in crafting, but only started making more original and  formal pieces about a year ago. She had to have surgery that kept her from walking for months, so in that time she built up her skills with working with her hands.

Sheena finds inspiration in the world around her, especially the women in her life. Most of her items have ladies names which correlate with the names of the women in her life that she can see wearing those pieces or flowers.

In addition, Sheena finds inspiration from her customers who have a vision of something special and unique but can't quite find their ideal item on their own. By working with her customers, Sheena is able to create something they are excited about.

The Eva bracelet I reviewed is one example of Sheena working with a customer to create a special bracelet specifically for her Maid of Honor.

Did someone say Maid of Honor? That will be my role in a few short months, and I think I'll have the perfect bracelet to wear thanks to Sheena. And if my sister wants me to get something a little bit more yellow than Gold, I'll just contact Sheena!

As Sheena said, "I cut all my petals for all my flowers individually and won't sell anything that I'm not proud of. I'm also totally willing to work with customers to come up with new creations or make changes to the items in my own store to make it perfect for them"

So if you like what you see, head on over to Classique Collections on Etsy and take a look at what Sheena can do you for you.

As a special treat, ALL my readers get a 10% discount on their purchase! Simply use the code ROXYSHOPS10. Code is valid until 3/1/2011





*A huge thanks to Sheena from Classique Collections for sponsoring this review. I received no monetary compensation. The Eva bracelet was given to me gratis.
