Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they really want, if they get it, they're happy. And what, exactly, brings about happy? For one, the Fur Wrap, an elegant faux fur stole that perfectly completes the winter bride's trousseau. Next, naturally, may be the Stretch Satin Elbow Length Glove. A must in every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, naturally, are necessary to this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail does not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for really glam power.
