Lady Gaga- Marry the Night
By Blerona
As huge fans of Lady Gaga not only of her music but her over-the-top couture ensembles, we were so excited to know that she shopped at M&J Trimming herself when she created her own costumes. You could imagine our surprise and excitement when she mentioned it in her latest music video “Marry the Night”, we just couldn’t believe it.
And if you don’t believe it either be sure to watch the video, and forward it to 7:12 ! Then go back and watch the whole thing because she’s so awesome!!
Blogger of the Month, December!
By Blerona
Our New Favorite blogger for December is Grace from Stripes & Sequins!
Hi everyone! I’m Grace from Stripes & Sequins. Ever since moving to New York City six years ago, M&J Trimming has been one of my favorite places in the city… a virtual candy store for us crafty folks! I’m honored to be M&J’s blogger of the month. If I had to describe my style in two words, it would be human magpie. I love all things shiny and sparkly.. By day, I work for BaubleBar, where I run their social media. I’ve been blogging for about two years and love DIY – it forces me to be creative and helps me temper my expensive taste. My blog has been featured on Guest of a Guest, the Wall Street Journal, and Dismount Creative as a Top DIY blog. I’ve also DIY’d with The Glitter Guide, which is, very fittingly, one of my favorite online publications!

Besides beautiful metalic and sheer lace, the runway this year is bringing back the bling with shiny details of crystals, rhinestones, nailheads and beaded embellishments. As well as feathers! Here are the highlights of Paris and Milan Fashion Week 2012.
