Whose wedding is it anyway?

I recently attended my cousin’s wedding and it was just beautiful. Married or single, anytime there is a wedding one can’t help but think about planning their own. For example, who you want as your maid of honor, the venue, designing the cake, and of course the wedding dress. Some brides choose to spend loads of money on their dress but I can’t see spending tens of thousands of dollars on a dress you wear once.     

A few trendy brands have created their own line of affordable wedding attire. Brands like The Limited, J.Crew, and BCBGMAXAZRIA design dresses for under $500. Nordstrom recently created a wedding shop on their site featuring dresses and accessories under a $1000 and J.Crew opened its first stand alone bridal boutique this past June.    

Check out some of my favorite budget conscious weddings dresses below.

Fall into The GAP

I was doing some internet window browsing on my favorite webstores, when I saw the above pair of suede lace up booties sold by The GAP. Too cute! It was a reminder that fall is only a month and a half away. Seems like summer just began. This weekend is tax-free weekend, so I will be partaking in guilt free retail therapy thanks to all the students returning to school in a few weeks.

Happy Friday. Have a Great Weekend!
