Wedding Envy- Cleopatra Edition




Happy rainy/snowy hump day NBs! Things are a-changing over here at Newfangled as you might notice. After Madame G and I took a closer look at the stats for our page traffic, it became clear that our site was coming up in google searches for non-wedding related topics. Like, REALLY non-wedding related topics. So, we're sorry if our site accidently interrupted anyone's, ahem, "extracurricular activities." As a result, we're changing the weekly wedding porn entries to "wedding envy." No, the title is not as snazzy, but at least it will stop popping up as the second link when one googles "newfangled porn." (And yes, we're still trying to figure out what that is...).

But as always, onwards and upwards! This week's wedding envy is in honor of Liz Taylor's unexpected passing. It's really strange timing for me especially, since just yesterday I finished Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff. So, we present to you a modern bridal version of Cleopatra, (presumably to be worn with way less eye makeup). The pearls are an especially important detail since, according to Schiff, they were considered the diamonds of Cleopatra's age. These golden South Sea pearls from Mikimoto are just the thing to brighten up Thakoon's lovely draped gown!
