Green Is…about getting Beautiful!
We would love for it to be effortless, but the truth is achieving an eco-beautiful glow sometimes takes some work. And some great products. The good news is that once you put the right items in your green beauty bag, maintaining your glow can be easy!
If you are in the final wedding planning phase or gearing up for the holidays (or maybe both!), there is no time like the winter months to pamper yourself from head to toe.
The products featured in our new Green Beauty feature (like this super cute Green Grab Bag from White Apricot) are just what you need to get your eco-glow on! Get the list on page 20 of the Winter 2012 issue and let’s get gorgeous!

It’s all about Location!
Once we settled on the theme of our Winter 2012 editorial, we knew finding the ideal location would not be an easy feat. There aren’t too many locations that can capture the essence of an Industrial Glam vision! The scene that fit the bill would have to merge a little grunge and a lot of glamour… machinery and a hint of magic …some hotness with a touch of haute-ness. “Where in the world was this place?” we asked. Before long, we had our answer- the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower in Baltimore, Maryland.
The second we stepped inside the tower clock at the top of this building, we knew instantly that this was IT. With a hair and makeup “dream team”, an amazingly talented photographer, a stunning model, and our rockin’ Managing and Style Editor on deck, the Industrial Glam vision truly came to life! You’ve got to see it to believe it…

Favor Style: Ornaments!
Warm up your winter wedding and your guests’ hearts with an ornament! If you are still searching for the ideal guest gift, ornaments are a timeless holiday favor that will be special reminder of your wedding day for years to come.
Take a peek at a few ideas…
Support international artisans by gifting handmade ornaments like this one! This Big Heart Ornament is made in Bali and from sustainable wood. We found it thanks to the fab ecofabulous blog!
Pretty, pretty pink! And vintage! Etsy is a great resource for beautiful vintage (like these from seller HighPoint Farm). Also consider mixing and matching your wedding colors and using designed ornaments that complement your theme.
Packaging your favors in boxes or bags made from recycled paper keeps it green and chic!
