Wishing

oh how I wish this Erdem dress was mine. Alexa Chung rocked its socks off but unfortunately it is $3,360 which is just a wee bit out of my price range for clothing and secondly, it is no longer available. Big, fat B to the oo. On another note, how pretty would this be in a different color as a wedding dress? Erdem are you listening?

Ivy & Aster

I am completely head over heels for the new bridal line Ivy & Aster (like heart-palpitating, gorgeousness overload kind of head over heels) and any brides or bridesmaids still in search of the perfect dress are in luck because Ivy & Aster is arriving in stores this very week. Not only that, but there are several pop-up trunk shows through March. The first one is coming up this weekend in Los Angeles. I only have one request...will someone please, pretty please rock one of these gorgeous dresses down the aisle and send me the pics. I need to do some vicarious living.

Holy Dress Goodness

Oh be still my heart, I am in ruffle dress heaven right about now. This is something that the Huz definitely doesn't understand. I tried to liken it to a half naked Maxim cover and he sort of understood. Dress porn. That's what we have hear ladies. Dress porn.

It has been very, very good to me but alas I no longer have a need for a gorgeous, white light ivory dress. Check it out here

The Short Brigade

J Crew finally jumped on the short dress bandwagon and it is a stunner. I would have worn this in a millasecond. Tulle, lace, bubble hem. I love.

Neimans does Wedding Dresses

I am on the hunt for the perfect gray dress to wear for the bestie's wedding and since this lady won't answer my emails, I am forced to surf the interwebs for an alternative. In all my browsing, I happened upon Neimans and my oh my they are bringing it this season with the wedding dress options. Especially since most of them are under $750. Still no gray dress but a million other dresses in a myriad of colors. The hunt continues.

My Dream Dress

actually the whole wedding is a dream and that dress? $50!

Haute Bustle

This bustle from Cymbeline is killing me with its coolness and the fact that it was paraded around at The Ace Hotel and shot by the lovely Sarah Yates makes it 

that. much. better.

Lately I've been feeling the yellow

and this pretty buttercup confection is perfection in a wedding dress.

Dream Wedding Scenario

Can I please wear this dress at this wedding:

Peonies and papel picado banners? That is sort of a home run in my book.

Swiss Miss, dotted that is

As if Sarah Seven wasn't already cool enough, her new dotted swiss dress is causing my heart to beat a little faster. Combine this with the Ace Hotel and insane photography from Brandon Witzel, and I might keel over. Be still my heart.

The Mullet Dress

While in Boston, I was lucky enough to go wedding dress shopping with my best friend for her upcoming nuptials. She found her dress and coined it a "mullet dress." We're talking short in the front and long in the back and it is all kinds of fabulous. I have noticed that this is becoming quite the trend and I have to say, I am totally down.

Ohh this dress

I was absolutely obsessed with this dress when I first got engaged and then...I tried it on and I looked like a chubby oompa loompa (not a good look)

so I am very happy to see a bride completely rocking it sans chubby oompa loompaness.

Dress Heaven - sheep included

I am becoming a huge fan of baby's breath as well. Not a fan of the name but the look is super romantic unless paired with red roses. BIG NO.
