{Friday Favorite} Diorshow Mascara - The Best Mascara of All Time?

Welcome to our new blog feature - Friday Favorites!  Every Friday, stop in for products, services, images, etc. we Shi Shi girls can't get enough of - it's our little way of saying "Happy weekend!"  We hope you'll visit often and fall in love with our favorites as much as we have!  To kick off our new series, we couldn't think of any better way than to feature our all time favorite mascara for dressing up, Diorshow!

We fell in love with this incredibly lushifying, lengthening, all around "Are those her real lashes?" creating formula and brush when it was introduced in 2002.  It's been on our radar {and in our makeup bags} ever since.  And we're not the only ones!  Diorshow regularly makes appearances on top fashion magazines' best of lists like Harper's Bazaar and InStyle {note: title won 2007-2012 - quite the impressive dynasty!} to name a few.  

Dior has many formulations of the Diorshow line now available, including Iconic {also curls the lashes}, Blackout {super intense color}, Extase {Diorshow volume x10}, and their newest addition, Diorshow New Look {mascara plus a lash multiplier treatment serum}.  There is a waterproof version of almost every formulation and a Maximizer {for plumping and priming} as well.  So find your nearest Dior counter {Nordstrom, Saks, & Dillard's in the NE Ohio region} or any Sephora store and discover your favorite!    

Dare we say it is the best wedding day, going out, special occasion mascara of all time?  We do.

Elizabeth & Chris' Sunwashed Engagement Shoot

Picture a day that feels like this...

That's just the type of late spring afternoon Elizabeth & Chris had for their engagement shoot with Dan & April O'Keefe of Z Media.  We LOVE Dan & April's work; especially their ability to turn the simplest moments into the most beautiful imagery.  Elizabeth & Chris chose the Tremont district of Cleveland and Cuyahoga National Valley Park for their shoot, where will you find your simply perfect moments?  

Enjoy these completely lovely images and have a happy, safe, and relaxing Memorial Day weekend everyone!

Best Spring 2013 Wedding Dresses From Bridal Market NYC

Spring 2013's Bridal Market NYC was held April 14-16th at Pier 92.  We've poured over the images from each of the designer's runways and chose our top picks to share with you!  Spring 2013's best wedding dress trends await...shall we ladies?

ONE SHOULDER STYLES

Carolina Herrera

We are loving the one shoulder styles and the modern goddess connotation they project.  From structured and simple to gauzy and ethereal, one shouldered gowns are everywhere this season.

PEPLUM SKIRTS

Alvina Valenta

Perhaps the most surprising trend to us (but nonetheless lovely) this season is the peplum skirt.  Peplums are perfect for creating an hourglass figure and add a graphic statement to any wedding dress.

REMOVABLE OVERLAYS

Reem Acra

Reem Acra (among others) have several gowns this season with removable overlays.  Underneath this ball gown is a sassy little mini ready to party at the reception.  Two stunning wedding gowns for the price of one? Yes please!

LACE

Christos

We're always a sucker for lace, but this season, something about the way it's presented feels so fresh and even more wonderful than usual.  Maybe it's the Duchess Catherine effect, who knows?  What we can say is lace is definitely a show-stopper, especially when embellished with a fluffy tulle train like this Christos gown above.

COLOR

Vera Wang

Color still abounds on the bridal runways and in many different persuasions.  Probably the biggest purveyor of color this season is the iconic Vera Wang who showcased RED big time.  Her dahlia (shown above), scarlet, crimson, and vermillion hues dazzle in frothy textured layers.  Take heed all you less than brazen brides out there; the entire collection is also available in white or ivory.
