Would You Wear A Black Wedding Dress?

The Daily Mail is reporting today that black, a color traditionally saved for funerals and looking street chic, is the new color choice for wedding dresses among modern brides. While I don’t doubt that many women are bucking tradition and going with darker colors, I have a hard time believing that black, despite how slimming and elegant it is, is now the “shade of choice,” as the paper insinuates.

Yay or Nay: Holiday Shopping Before Thanksgiving?

The other day I posed (what I thought was) an important question to my Canadian boyfriend: When do Canadians start decorating and shopping for the holidays if they don't have Thanksgiving as a benchmark?

(Quick historical background: Canadians do have Thanksgiving, but it's in October for some reason, far too early to serve as a threshold for the holiday season.)

His answer was woefully unsatisfying (it amounted to a confused head shake and a doubtful "December first?"), but I guess that's not entirely his fault. Even here in the good ol' US of A we've thrown that whole "holiday decorations up after Thanksgiving" tradition out the window. These days there are wreaths on doors by early November and stores are already chock full of cool gift sets like these.

What do you think, are we jumping the gun on the holiday season or do you welcome the ever-earlier return of decorations, carols and gingerbread smells wafting in the air?
