If you're anything like us, you know a party needs three things -- delicious wine, good music, and cake. Being the fashionistas that we are, we don't want to serve just a plain old sheet cake, no siree. We want our cake to be memorable, especially if it's for a special occasion. And not that we have anything against iced flowers, but we want decorations that reflect our personal style.

We want flowers, and birds, and glitz! Give us whimsy, give us glamor -- give us Very Different Cakes!

One of the best things about a wedding is all of the cool paper products you need to order: invitations, response cards, maps, save-the-dates, announcements, thank you notes...the list goes on and on. Now that digital printing is so accessible, sites like Ink and Paper Design let you easily and affordably customize an entire set of wedding stationery.

You start by picking the invitation template that complements your wedding theme, or creating a completely custom design. Then you add on the items you want. Every design is available for every piece they sell, so you never suffer the disappointment of falling in love with a piece, only to find out it doesn't come in your color.



One of the best selling points of Ink and Paper Design is the selection of additional items you can get, like place cards, menus, and best of all (in our opinion) stickers.

Maybe we're stuck in the fourth grade, but we love stickers. They can turn any plain item into a completely customized, matching part of your theme. You can use them to seal your thank you cards, or to decorate your bedroom window. The Ink and Paper Design stickers come in square, round or diamond shapes, taking the whole "choice" thing to a new high. And did we mention the magnets?

It's almost enough to make us wish we were getting married all over again!

Why? Well, not only because we said so but because the benefits reach far beyond our wildest imaginations.

See the following exhibits for confirmation.

It was a hit parade of the hautest spring trends the other night at London's Punk night club. Tightly belted waists? Check! Over-sized vintage clutch? Check! Pretty floral prints? Triple check! There was all this and more as fashion students from London's various colleges came out to celebrate.

The impromptu runway show was just a preview of why the students were partying in the first place: Graduate Fashion Week. Never heard of it? Well, it's been a must-see for the international fashion industry since 1991, has launched the careers of fashion rock stars like Stella McCartney and hosted concerts by top-notch performers like Madonna and Justin Timberlake.

Ahh, it's that time of the year again -- when teenage boys and girls swoon for their favorite mainstream media stars at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. As always, it's fun to check out what the celebrities wore to this laid-back, fun bash.

I don't watch the Disney Channel or Nickelodeon so I'm way too old to know who some of these underage stars are. But that doesn't mean I can't admire (or not) their red carpet fashion from the big event. Browse through the gallery to see what everyone wore.
