So you’re a guy (or a very brave girl) and you’re about to pop the question, but you just don’t have anywhere to hide that bulky ring box …
Andrew Zo has created a jewel case that could be hidden in a wallet but when presented, has a a surprise element that mimics a flower blossoming.
“Packed” is a series of packaging designs with a specific focus on paper and structure.

BHLDN, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie’s wedding line, launched the site today. They have everything a bride needs in one place. Shoes, head gear, gowns, bridesmaid dresses, jewelry and lingerie.
Wedding decor items will debut on the site in May, stylists are available by email and they hope to offer event planning/catering advice in the future. The shop is only online at the moment and will eventually expand to 2 or 3 stores.
BHLDN ‘s What Kind of Bride Are You test is good for the girl who doesn’t know whether she is a nostalgic romantic, a lady with a twist, a neo-sophisticate or la bohemienne.
It turns out I’m la bohemienne.
Here are some of my favorites:

This is Sterling Silver. It will be a bit more expensive in white, yellow, rose gold or platinum. A little unconventional for a wedding band but so adorable.
And now …
it’s a bit cruel for me to post this next one and you will see why in a moment.
Cathy Waterman Love of My Life Ring
#10
Last January I called to inquire about this ring … you know, just for fun … and the shop girl said it was $80,000.00. She said it in the same way someone at Starbucks says that your latte will be $5.00, as if that is totally reasonable. But, since I know how superior that Starbucks latte is to all other lattes, I didn’t immediately hang up on her. She went on to say this was a “one of a kind ring” and that it has sold.
Isn’t that a tease? Sorry, but if I have to live with the fact that this ring is off the market SO DO YOU!
But I do love all of the other choices, way below the $80,000.00 price range. Happy shopping, ladies (and smart boys who will take in all this free knowledge.)
