My New and Improved Look

December 17th, 2009 @ 10:50 am by Mrs. Lamb

Since I donned the Lamb moniker, I’ve felt more and more of a connection to my alter ego. I’ve already hinted at the changes for my wedding day look (here and here) and I’m finally ready to reveal it. Before I do (hehehehe, there’s a double meaning in that!), I want to show you what I would wear if I was having my wedding on a sheep farm: Louise Fairburn made her gown from her very own lambs’ wool!

Sourced from The Daily Mail article cited above

OK, now for the real deal.

I am aiming for a classic look with a 1940s movie star twist. Starting at the top of my head, I’ll be blinging out with vintage earrings. I want big, retro curls and bright red lips. And what would red lips be without cute, short red nails too? I figure a little pop of color on the tips of the fingers will work nicely for some fun ring shots. Instead of a faux fur wrap, I’ll be fending off Old Man Winter with my bright red wool coat, similar to the one pictured (and a slightly less obvious nod to my Lamb roots!). The bod will be sporting my lovely Detalle and a chapel length veil that I made. Here’s my inspiration board:

Top to Bottom, L-R:
Vintage Earrings from Fincara
Short nails painted red modeled by Taylor Swift
Old Hollywood Hair modeled by Isla Fisher
1960s Style Red Wool Coat
Geneva by Romantic Soles (how appropriate!)
Detalle by Pronovias
Chapel length veil at Encore Bridal

I didn’t set out to add red to my look, but with all of the neutrals in the wedding, I think it’ll be perfect! I’m so psyched to do an after picture for you all to see if I can nail this look!

Are you changing your look at the last minute? Are there any parts of your look that you’re questioning?

I think red was just such a great choice to add in. I think it looked SO amazing on you in your e-pics, and it really will add such a great and glam feel, which looks great on you.

P.S. Everytime I see anything with lambs on it, I do a little “OMG! LAMB would love this.” dance.

(That’s been happening a lot with bee-related things lately. lol)

I love the idea of the red nails! And that top pic of the wool dress instantly made me itchy.

I’ve slowly changed some things here and there as my vision developed. I think the red was a great addition!!

I’m not generally a big fan of red, but when you combine it with white, in little hints…and add the 1940’s retro glam…I’m all over it! Can’t wait to see the look come together on you!
