Welcome back to our Winter Ready Series where this week we will be discussing Accessories.

Happy Monday/Tuesday.. today being Tuesday… I was late in posting yesterday so I thought I’d do my bridal gown Monday today instead. We are still on our Accessorize Mini-Series today we are showing you how to use body art as your bridal accessory starting with paint. What about some great body paint to heighten your bridal look.

What’s great about there bridal lingerie section is they have it laid out in 3 categories: Bachelorette, Wedding Day, and Honeymoon. Three great days to focus on your under garments. Let’...
