Grumble:
So I’m going to a Winter Wonderland themed party this weekend. FYI, this blogger loves nothing more than getting dressed up for a party, but I ask you: what in the hell does one wear to a Winter Wonderland party? An Ice Capades skating dress, a onesie snow suit complete with mittens and Sherpa hat or go as a Sugar Plum Fairy in sparkles from head to toe? Serious question here: would wearing the wedding dress again be too much? It is white, after all!
Goodness:
You certainly could re-bride yourself if you wore a dress by
Annatarian, an **Eco Effective Design Company (um, OK whatever THAT means).
Seriously, this is SO Winter Wonderland… white, flow-y, sparkly! Annatarian dresses (wedding and others) are all one-of-a-kind and made from vintage and remnant fabrics. They also use eco-tech fabrics like bamboo, organic cotton, peace silk and many others. They’ll even use your sentimental pieces of clothing and jewelry (like: your mother's own wedding dress and grandmother's pearl necklace) when making a dress for you. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something GREEN!
Go:
If you are looking for a less bridal dress for your Winter Wonderland party, but still want to look like spun sugar, pop on over to
Annatarian’s Facebook page (you know you’re already on Facebook bs-ing around with your high school pals) and check out these fun dresses.
Then, contact Anna and she’ll work with you to create your very own, unique piece of art that brings out your inner Winter Wonderland.
Now that’s what I call looking sweet as sugar.
** Eco Effective design is a concept touted by William McDonough, writer of Cradle to Cradle. The thrust of it is to enhance growth and quality of life while encouraging positive, regenerative effects by design.
