I don’t know about you but I have YET to see a dress on ‘Say Yes to the Dress’ that I would actually wear. Most are over the top tacky or just simply not my taste. As a seasoned second time bride, I am looking for clean lines and an elegant simple silhouette. Think evening gown, not bride-y. So when I heard ShopBop was getting into the bridal business I was intrigued. Could one of my favorite online stores really carry fuss free gowns? The answer after perusing their intial offerings is YES! I still haven’t found “the one” but it’s nice to know there are other options for those of us not interested in Pnina Tornai!

On your feet that is! Nude shoes elongate the leg making you look taller and thinner. (Hey I’m 5′3 I can use all the elongating I can get!). These Michael Kors Zen sandals live up to their name. They calm me just by looking at them. I can picture wearing these in the summer with flowly white linen pants…soft wind in my hair… sweet summer air…see I told you they live up to their name! $112 at Endless with code MARFFEVT

I love me my big bags… but lets face it..some of them are approaching carryon size (see post below). For a night out, I want my hands free for cocktails and nosh and I don’t want to deal with the lug-gage of a big bag on my shoulder. Apparently I am not the only one since I’ve been getting lots of inquries about where you might find the perfect going out bag. Well kitties, today is your lucky day! Because I not only found several perfect going out bags, but ALL of them are around $150 or less when you take an ADDITIONAL 25% off with the code: MARFFEVT. Don’t say I don’t love you!

Ever since I saw my friend’s Louis Vuitton carry on bag, I have been obsessed with getting designer luggage. I know. I know. It is SO decadent and SO unnecessary! But there is some allure in picturing myself with the perfect bag for travel about to embark to a tropical paradise. Unfortch reality sets in and I realize that there is no way in hell I want to spend four digits on a carry on bag that is going to get abused. Heck, I don’t even want to spend three figures! Enter Marc to the rescue. Marc By Marc Jacobs that is. This gorgy MBMJ duffle bag is the perfect size for carry on and it’s on sale for only…wait for it…$66! This really is the perfect size for a weekend or a carry on. I predict this deal won’t last so hurry! At Zappos.

For my (future) wedding the one thing I want besides the usual (to-die-for gown, band, great food) is a fabulous pair of shoes. Absolutely no disgusting dyeables will be on my feet! I want a pair of shoes that I feel amazing in AND I can actually wear again. I think I found them… this pair of chiffon rosette sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti are perfect! One could not help but feel like a blushing bride/princess/sex kitten in these. Because really, isn’t that the way we want to feel on our wedding day?
