Little Pink Card.

While scanning one of my many magazines I came across a tiny ad for something called "The Little Pink Card." Cute name but what exactly is it? As it says on their website: "It's a nifty wallet-sized card that assists your boyfriend or soon-to-be husband in always buying you the perfect gift! No more excuses!"

How can a tiny little card do this? Does it read your mind? Does it call your boyfriend or fiance with ideas? No, none of these. It's so simple it's genius. The card has the answers to all the questions your man needs to remember in order to make a thoughtful purchase. He'll be able to pull out his wallet, reference the Little Pink Card and he'll have access to your birth stone, your ring size, your dress size & shoe size.

Imagine getting a new pair of shoes from your man instead of a bouquet of flowers he picked up on his way home at the grocery store. How amazing would that be?! I think I'll be ordering one of these for my husband. I know a select few of you out there don't have to remind your man but for the rest of us this tiny card is a great idea. For a grand total of $14.45 I think this little card will pay for itself with the first gift you receive. Visit their website here: The Little Pink Card.

Duchess. Men's Suits with Style.

At times you may feel like you man just doesn't have any style. He's wearing the same pair of jeans that he worn for the past 5 days, he turns his t-shirt inside out to get one more day out if it and we don't even want to ask about the boxers! So, the wedding day is the perfect opportunity to turn a grape into wine. A tuxedo may seem like the obvious choice but he looks more like James Bond than a groom. Who do you turn to for help? I have the perfect solution, Duchess Clothier.

Here's a quick description of what they do in their own words:

"Duchess Clothier creates custom suits and shirts based on historical styles with the belief that gentlemen and ladies of style
should have the opportunity to affordably dress in find tailored garments that fit properly. All of our creations are made-to-measure and completely customizable in your choices of fabrics and styles. We are owned and operated in Portland, Oregon and believe that the style trailblazers of today should look to the dress of the past-whether that of Victorian gentlemen, a smooth rat packer, a hot mod face, a country crooner...it's all beautiful and encouraged!"

I think the pictures speak for themselves. And just think, once he has his own hand made suit, he'll have to wear it again to take you out for a fabulous dinner and cocktails.

Come see Duchess' suits on live models at The Art of Wedding Event this January. I can't wait!
