If Dresses Could Speak What Would They Say?

What you wear always says something about you. We're visual creatures and before we even get to open our mouths our attire has already spoken volumes.
So, I thought I'd have a little fun with some of the vintage dresses we currently have in stock. If I could hear the thoughts of these bold little numbers, this is what what they would say:

 YOU MAY AS WELL SURRENDER NOW, RESISTANCE TO MY CHARMS IS FUTILE!

FETCH ME MY DRINK, AND MAKE IT SNAPPY!

OH, HOW I WISH I WAS RULED BY A MONARCHY...SO I COULD OVERTHROW IT!

YOU'LL BE SO DAZZLED BY MY SPARKLES THAT YOU WON'T NOTICE ME ORDERING THE MOST EXPENSIVE ITEMS ON THE MENU!

I MAY LOOK LIKE A DEMURE KITTEN BUT MY LAST THREE HUSBAND'S MADE THAT SAME MISTAKE!

PREPARE TO WEEP AS I WALK AWAY!

The Vintage Veil

I didn't wear a veil when I got married over 10 years ago and now I kinda wish I had. 

Let's face it there won't really be an opportunity for me to wear one again and they aren't really for the everyday! 

So whilst I'll have to be content with getting my veil fix when playing dress-up in the shop...I mean working...those brides planning their wedding can still think about adding a veil to their wedding day look.

Take some inspiration from these 1920's and 30's brides who are all wearing incredible full tulle veils, many in the Juliet style. The veils in these images create such an ethereal and dramatic impact... cue veil envy....

Our veils range in price from €45 to €280

Happy Halloween!

 When you google "vintage Halloween photo" some pretty freaky images can pop up. It's something to do with the sepia and black and white images along with the rustic, homemade costumes... makes everything a little more eerie!  Spooky children in grotesque costumes is not what we want for a Dirty Fabulous Halloween...
So I've chosen a few retro images that are playful and quirky... less nightmarish!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

A look back at The Glitter Studio... It was sparkletastic!

Where you lucky enough to visit The Glitter Studio on the 17th or 18th of October? 

One Fab Day put on a pretty spectacular event. From the moment you walked into the CHQ building you knew it was an all together different kind of bridal event.

The decoration and styling were as gorgeous as you would expect from one of the leading bridal inspiration resources. Just imagine themes such as pop, rustic and glamour and you'll get a feel for what was on offer.

In case you missed it I took a million pics to share with you to give you an over all feel. Add to these images some free flowing bubbles, fun, frolics and some of the best vendors Ireland has to offer and that would just about sum up The Glitter Studio.
