The Bride Wears Red? Absolutely!

Once white and ivory wedding dresses were de rigeur for the Cinderella bride. Not any more. Today's Cinderella is falling in love with color - and it's red. Red is not as off color as it seems. It is a predominant choice in Chinese, Hindu and some Muslim weddings. But for American brides? Maggie Sottero Patti is an emphatic "yes!"

Bridesmaid Trends: Color Me Blue

In the terrestrial world, signs of blue life have been flowing onto the runways and pages of glossy magazines. At the recent fall shows, designers from Proenza Schouler in New York to Pucci in Milan, have explored myriad shades of cobalt, cornflower, turquoise and cerulean. It's almost as if Miranda Priestley's spirited defense of fashion in The Devil Wears Prada, a reaction to her indifferent assistant's "lumpy blue sweater," is being played out in real life. In her new "Marrakesh" collection for Tiffany, Paloma Picasso blends geometric gold patterns and lapis lazuli--the color of which recalls the walls of Morocco's Majorelle Garden, where Yves Saint Laurent's ashes are scattered. Meanwhile, the style bibles are teeming with all manner of blue foo dogs, turquoise jewels and lapis collectibles Read it

Blue is a hit on the chapel aisle as too. After all, the next best thing to a vacation in a tropical paradise is a dress that echoes the sea or sky when you get there.

Watters & Watters: Simply Stellar Fabric & Style

I love good fabric. Maybe it's because my mother had most of my clothes made for me when I was a teenager. Maybe it's because my entire Cajun family breathed women's fashion in little towns tucked into South Louisiana and Central Texas. Whatever the genesis, I judge a dress as much by its feel as its sex appeal. Lets face it, a fabric that is scrumptious to touch not only holds its line better, it feels sexy as hell when you wear it. And good fabric is one of the reasons I love offering Watters & Watters evening and party dresses in Scarlett's Closet.

Sultry and glamorous charmeuse. Sophisticated duchess satin. Rich and ladylike Dupioni silk. Light as air crinkle silk chiffon. The fabric represented in our new collection of Watters & Watters evening gowns and cocktail dresses is simply stellar in its eye appeal and feel.

And it's no slouch in terms of style.

For 20 years, Vatana Watters has set the design tone for this line. Her styles are not "out there" or avant garde, but classic, flattering and what women want to wear.

Watters & Watters may not be a household word like the ubiquitous Vera, but these dresses are the equal to any in terms of quality, style and value.
