Top Ten Bridal Trends for 2014 Image via Henri Josef website
As we wave goodbye to February and usher in the month of March (crazy wedding season anyone!?) I can’t help but feel a little sad to be saying goodbye to Summer once again, particularly as it felt like it went way too fast! I’m still clinging to the few warm days heading our way in Victoria, but the fashions are already changing in the stores, and knits and scarves are making their way back into the wardrobe.
BUT – I must remember that I do also love this time of year, where the breeze gets cooler and the nights are perfect for sleeping. Small victories must be savoured!
To say so-long to Feb, how about taking some time to check out the best from our specialty blogs this week, with some cracker events coming up to tickle your fancy! Enjoy!
