gown friday!

a wedding gown trend that is all over the place is the one shoulder dress. i really like the one shoulder dress because it shows off your collar bone like a strapless gown does, but it's not so average looking. it just adds just enough to your look to make you the envy of your guests and wow your husband-to-be. my personal favorite is the vera wang gown above. absolutely fabulous as always!

hello ladies and welcome to some good old fashioned eye candy :) i say go with metallic, shimmer, silver, gold, blush colored heels. add a little (or a lot) of sparkle and shine. my fav? the metallic basketweave chloe heel--a modern vintage feel. love it!

and yes, it's kind of like, "one of these is not like the other"...but i just LOVE this heel so i had to put it in. the blush hue is beautiful, subtle, and oh so feminine. wear this with your wedding dress, but something more fun would be your getaway dress when you exit your party!
