Recently, I stopped by ModCloth to check out their new stuff. Let me tell you, what they have on the site now is AMAZING. There was so many clothes that I loved that I had to make sure that I was nowhere near my credit card. Also, while perusing for selfish reasons, I found a ton of lovely dresses that I thought would work for your best ladies on your special day. In fact, I found so much that this will be a two-parter situation. So, I hope that you enjoy what I found. Here comes the first batch of lovelies:

Remember, when purchasing a dress from an online retailer, make sure that you buy it far in advance that you have time to return it.
Stay tuned! Part 2 is coming up tomorrow!

While doing my normal “window shopping” through Etsy, I stumbled upon Moncadeau‘s Etsy Shop. Moncadeau has a series of tiny heart pendants that would be perfect for a bride looking for a little something around their necks or as great gift for your best ladies. I present to you, the heart pendants:

Source: Etsy: Moncadeau: Lovely ever after heart pendant necklace: $28.00
Aren’t they just darling? I just love the way they look and how they are tiny. Also, when I mean TINY, they are SUPER TINY. Some of them are 7mm x 7mm. So, yeah. I wasn’t kidding. Don’t believe me? Here’s a picture of what the Lovely ever after heart pendant necklace would look on you if you were to buy one:

None the less, they are absolutely lovely. If you were looking for a heart pendant that isn’t overpowering, this might be up your alley.
Why don’t you just click on over there for a closer inspection. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with them as much as I did.
My shoe pick for this Tuesday is from ASOS. By the way, if I’ve haven’t expressed my love for this online shop, let me tell you about it now. I promise to keep it short. I love this store for a myriad of reasons. Having been fashionably challenged since 1981 (which happens to be the year that I was born), when I found ASOS, I felt that there might be some hope for me to change that. Has it? Not really, because I’m horribly cheap and tend to hold on to my old clothes for unknown sentimental reasons. However, ASOS reminds me constantly that can change and I will act on it one day. Their dresses are dreamy and modern. Their prices don’t hurt either. Enough of my mindless chatter about ASOS. Let me show you this shoe that I’ve gots my eyes on:

I think if one of your wedding colors are yellow, these shoes might be right up your alley. I just love the fabric flower embellishment on the side. Did I mention that they also come off? So you could totally rock these shoes with or without them on. I love options, don’t you?
Also, did you notice that these babies are on SALE? Oh yes. This partnership might be a good one.
Miss KG, Don’t stop being stunning. Till next time.

Since we were just talking about Ruche and your best ladies, let’s continue to talk about Ruche but switch from your best ladies to a possible reception idea. That idea would involve these that I had found in Ruche‘s “Home and Office” section. Feast your eyes on these:

This comes in a different color.
Source: Ruche: Vintage Vinyl Record Card/Picture Stand: $12.99

I think if you’re looking for a unique table number holder or something to display your photos on a table in a fun way, this might be right up your alley. My favorites are the typewriter and the vintage vinyl record card holders. They are quite small (the typewriter is only 1 inch tall!). So depending on how large your tables are you might need to get more than one. I think if you were doing a vintage theme, a mixture of them would probably look super cool. Also, after the wedding, these can also work as a great holder for notes/reminders and or hold those beloved photos above your fireplace.

I know I’m late with this and it came out in April but to be fair, it’s the first time that I’ve seen it.
Marchesa has done it again. They have managed to peak my interest and have me at my knees, swooning at the sight of their dresses. This collection doesn’t disappoint and let me share with you a couple of my favorites:

Tuesday Shoesday: Vaneli Brinda
Posted on: August 2, 2011
From time to time, I peruse 6pm. If you have’t heard of 6pm, you should go there now. It’s AWESOME. This website combines two of my many favorite things, Zappos and discounts. So, if you love Zappos as much as I do and discounts, this is the perfect online shopping haven for you. You can thank me later.
Back to the task at hand, I found these cute shoes that could work double duty. Feast your eyes on the Vaneli’s Brinda:

Who doesn’t need a good wedge? Wedges are great for tons of reasons. For example, if you’re getting married on grass, you won’t ever sink into the ground. What I love about this wedge is the colors and the criss cross front. I think you could totally rock these shoes for your wedding and then wear it again with some hot skinny jeans for date night with your main man. What do you think? Would you rock a wedge shoes for your wedding?
