Weekly Shoe-gasm!

Ok so this weeks shoes are late! I can't believe i forgot.

These are for the Brides who's something blues are going to be her shoes.

So where was i when Paris Hilton started to make shoes? Well maybe i'm the last one to know but i think these a spectacular. This week shoe is multitasking because i'm only posting one. Since they aren't white satin with the right dress, in the right season, i think they can definitely be seen on the foot of a wedding guest. They're called Senorita and are available here.

Happy Shopping!

The Silver Dress

So over the weekend one of my BFF's had a brunch at her home to discuss bridesmaid dress options. She had 15 options for us to view! Luckily even though there were 7 of us with different body shapes and personal style, we all seemed to gravitate towards 3 dresses and i think at the end of the day Option 1 is going to win because the shade of blue is FIERCE!

Anyway while browsing multiple websites an image of a "silver" colored wedding dress pops on the screen. It was really fast but it definitely caught my wedding eye because i had to stop sipping on the mimosa and really take it in. Note to readers i NEVER stop sipping a mimosa! They are my absolute favorite every time i drink one i get transported back to my honeymoon. YUM! OK back to the post...

I wonder if i could have gotten away with a silver gown. I think my mom and grandmother wouldn't have gone for it in the end but they are beautiful. i would certainly be willing to try or one or two (or all) in the store just for fun if i had to do it all again.

It started with a sketch....

I have always been into Fashion. When i was little i would take my moms clothes and pile them on trying to imagine myself as the glamorous woman i would grow up to be. My first job ever was dressing mannequins at a trendy store in the mall. I would spend hours putting everything together and always getting praise, and in trouble, for not following the corporate mandatory guidelines.

If i was at all artistic i think i would have ended up a designer. Unfortunately I can't even draw stick figures. When i purchased my wedding gown i was very pleased to receive in my packet, along with the intimidating payment schedule, a copy of the original designers sketch of my gown. I thought it was so beautiful and different. I've actually framed the sketch and it sits in my room on my makeup mantle.

Here are a few 2009 looks and how they went from the drawing board to the runway.

Enjoy!
