For all of you fine ladies who are heavily into vintage fashion (just like us) and you just "happen" to be in, nearby-- or traveling to Nashville, Tennessee (LOL), then you should check out the amazing "Golden Age of Couture: Paris & London 1947-1957" exhibition at the Frist Center For The Visual Arts.

"The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947–1957" is an exhibition that transports visitors to the most glamorous fashion houses of Paris and London in the years after WWII. This exhibition was organized by the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) in London, which possesses one of the finest costume collections in the world. Following record breaking attendance at its launch in London and its subsequent presentations in Australia, Hong Kong and Canada, The Golden Age of Couture continues its international tour at the Frist Center, the exhibition’s only venue in the United States, before traveling to Museums Sheffield in 2011."

We found their promotional posters to be absolutely ADORABLE!

 
I have no idea who did this, but they must have been very bored!

Never one to shy away from statement looks (or bearing her infamously toned arms), Mrs. O wore a sparkly (yes, we said sparkly) blue gown by New York designer Peter Soronen, whose design house is dedicated to "creating show-stopping demi-couture dresses and gowns." Mission accomplished.

"I really didn't know that she was going to wear it until I got a phone call that someone saw her in it," the excited designer told the 'Huffington Post.' He added that the one-shoulder look "continues to be a trend."

It's nice to see Mrs. O stray away from her usual bob and into some nice soft curls, isn't it?

What do you think of her dress? Yay or nay?

When it comes to engagement rings, we’ve seen a lot of weird non-traditional approaches. But here’s one we just can’t wrap our minds (or tongues, rather) around: engagement tongue piercings. Jeweler Johnny Brookheart offers “alternative engagement” jewelry, including diamond tongue rings (or equally worse—belly button adornments). We imagine the couple who opts for this style met at a rave in 1998 and never looked back. The romantic scenario: He gets down on one knee to propose, she accepts, and instead of offering him her hand, he says, “Open wide,” and sticks her tongue with some pre-marital bling. Not really our thing, but, uh, to each his own.
