    More to come for today, but for now I'll leave you with this vintage Vogue cover by George Plank. By the mischievious look in her eye, I'd say she's planning on seperating that bird from his hind feathers. Seems like she already has quite enough. Feather fetish? Kinky. If there's anything to be learned from her style, I'd say it's... don't be a bird. No just kidding. I'd say it's DO add color with accessories to your black/white gowns. Yes, do. See here....

    Invitation Ideas: Kelli, one of our readers, alerted me to Costco's incredibly affordable invitations. I love the inclusion of real-life objects into invitations, like this one with feathers. Believe it or not, Costco even does letterpress!
