Weddings: a time of joy and extraordinary inebriation. We love a good wedding (reception), especially when it comes to getting gussied up for the occasion. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of appropriate wedding attire. At the last one I attended, I saw someone wearing jeans. JEANS! Granted this was in Ohio where the hillbillies roam free (love you homeland!), but the real truth stands, no one knows how to properly dress anymore. But if you need some assistance in this area, don’t fret. Here are four types of wedding – black tie, cocktail, daytime and casual – and the breakdown of what to wear for each.

High heels: they’re not just for women, drag queens and the oft-misunderstood transvestite anymore. The New York Times ”Style” section, the only news source of any import, chronicles a trend sweeping the nation — or at least a trend lightly dusting Los Angeles: the gentleman stiletto.

For those of you who are wondering if ponyhair is actually the hair side of a pony, as we too were wondering, it’s usually not. Ponyhair, also called haircalf, comes mostly from cows and can even be made from buffalo and other animals. Ponyhair is considered, like fur, to be the pelt of the animal rather than the underside from where leather is taken. It’s typically more expensive than leather because the hair has to be treated, cut and sometimes dyed before using, but we think the price to pay is well worth it. Here are seven of our favorite calf/pony/whatever-you-want-to-call-it hair pieces that are screaming fall! right in your face.
