STYLE'Notes

Happy Friday! Today I am sharing this fabulous and stylish new website called Borrowing Magnolia. My friend Stephanie is launching this site in May with two of her friends. Check out all the details below.

Borrowing Magnolia is a white-glove service that allows women to make money off the wedding dress in their closet by letting current brides either borrow or buy it.  Borrowing Magnolia handles all of the details including storage of the dress, styling, professional photography, marketing, etc.  Brides are able to wear their dream dress at a fraction of the cost, and we're convinced Borrowing Magnolia is how the modern bride does the dress.  In line with current and relevant online retailers, brides will be able to try-on three dresses in their own home.

STYLE TIP OF THE WEEK

I have been setting up my new wardrobe and find that hanging my pants this way is so much more organized than folding them over the hanger along the creases or pleats. The pants don't wrinkle up and they are much easier to find.
