Fancy Dress Friday: Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall edition

The leaves aren’t changing yet, but today is the last day of August and it’s certainly beginning to feel like fall in Portland, Maine.

During the past weekend we spent some time in the 1950s with posts about the early reality show “Bride and Groom” that was broadcast between soap operas in the early 1950s and a style post about which pieces of Turtle Love Co.’s jewelry would have fit in with Marilyn Monroe’s style, which featured this lovely collage as well as a look at her diamond eternity wedding band

On the blog this week we saw two different Jen Burrall engagement rings featured. Natalie of Uniquely Natalie chose our White Nested Pearl Engagement Ring as her favorite in this week’s Currently Loving post at the beginning of the week and on Wednesday Aubin wrote about why she loves her Nested White Topaz Engagement Ring.

In light of the recent frenzy over Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announcing their engagement, Natalie Portman getting married, and Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger revealing their plans to wed, TLC’s Head Honcho Adrianne shared her thoughts on why we’re obsessed with celebrity weddings (and why it’s okay that we are) in a post called “Celebrity wedding porn and the rule of law.”

Why do we care about Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied’s wedding?

Yesterday we posted a musical interlude based around the personalities of three of our engagement rings. Each of the rings had three songs associated with them, like our nested white pearl engagement ring with gold nest paired with songs like “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” by The Beach Boys. To check out the full list of rings and songs, click here.

We’re all rushing around today so we didn’t have time to appear in this week’s Fancy Dress Friday picture. Luckily, our resident Turtle Love Commitee agreed to make an appearance in the photo for us and even agreed to model some of our vintage rings. Don’t you think they look marvelous?
