Anything But a White Wedding




Goth setting.  White wedding.  Hammer the nails.  Anything but is done.

Set List Color Wheel - Gothic White

Welcome to the launch edition of Set List Color Wheel!

Every week will showcase a colorful album title or song title that can be complimented with similar fashion and Park Lane jewelry colors.  

Today I am featuring Billy Idol's classic song, "White Wedding," and gothic music video.  The bridal gown will not be for the blushing bride.

Robert Palmer died of a heart attack at the age of 54 in a Paris hotel room.  Although not into any drug scene, he smoked cigarettes far in excess (60 a day, reportedly).


He could sing.  He could perform.  He could record albums and music videos.  He was, yes, quite handsome in a suit and in relaxed wear.

Robert Palmer offered so much to the music industry before his passing and truly could have continued to the present.

He will forever be missed.

Robert Palmer - I Didn't Mean To Turn You On (Official Video)

September Passion - The Passionate Rose

In Chicago, summer heat lingers into September and in the most uncomfortable of ways - with humidity.

September, then, has a strong passion...as does Park Lane.

In this launch post of  September Passion, I plan to share Park Lane passionate jewels and equally passionate well known songs.

Find your passion in my Park Lane boutique!

(Look for me on Instagram and Tumblr.)

$54

Park Lane prides itself on fine quality, product warranty, and safety - hypoallergenic and lead & nickel free.

Park Lane jewelry is unique and personally designed.  The budget ranges from possible to high end.  As a Stylist & Fashion Director, I can attest to the jewelry being display case worthy at a department store.  Further, there is always a sale or special promo so be on the look out!

Bonus - Park Lane is an international business, including Australia, Canada, Mexico, Scotland, the UK, and of course the U.S.

Anyway,
