Sunday Sweets Gets OVER DRAMATIC

There's a place for casual elegance, but sometimes you want something a little more... elaborate. Something bold, something over-the-top. Something that grabs your eyeballs by the collar and slaps 'em around a bit - in a good way.

You know, like this:

This little gem packs a pretty punch!

 

It doesn't get more classic than black, white, and lipstick red:

Or, for that matter, black, white, and gold:

Ahhh, Paris. Where even the streetlights cast little heart shadows. (So cute!)

 

I just realized most of these have been on the dark side so far - but believe me, you don't need any color at all to make jaws drop:

This drama queen is a vision in ruffles!

 

Or how about this snow white wonder:

That hand-piped lace is blowing my mind.

 

Now add a bold pop of red swirly flowers:

And don't forget a little a lot of bling!

Sometimes it's silver.
