The Perfect Pair: Shoes You Can Stash --- Anywhere!These foldable, rollable, and still totally stylish shoes are the perfect reception-time relief. Stash these in your wedding-day tote for a quick switch after the ceremony. Right now, I'm using them for travel --- toting these flats are way more sanitary than braving the security line barefoot.

Celebrity Makeup Artist: Fashion Designers Do BeautyCheck out these two totally cool, and completely different, designer collections: The three on the left are by Jill Stuart (one of my fave ready-to-wear designers - she's also a great go-to designer for rehearsal dinner dresses). Love, love, love the glam packaging. On the left, Christian Siriano's makeup line for Victoria's Secret has got some serious edge, but the colors are still really girly. The best part about both of these lines - the makeup doesn't slip off!! ![]() September 24, 2009

Polish Up: A New Wedding Manicure Nail HueFashion week may be over, but all the hot new beauty trends from fashion week are just getting started. What do you think of this white nail hue? I know this color isn't for everyone, but I'm thinking for a modern wedding, this shade would look super chic. Who's with me? Photography provided by Dark PR ![]() September 21, 2009

Wedding Hairstyle of the Week: Feeling KnottyLove, Love, Love this updo! It's so soft and romantic, but looks like it will stay put all night long. The flower is pretty for a beach or outdoor wedding, but I think by swapping in a vinage brooch, this updo could easily work for a more formal affair. Laura Novak Photography ![]() September 17, 2009

The Perfect Preview: Bridal Designers at Fashion WeekIt's fashion week in New York City this week, when all the designers (big and small) debut their Spring 2010 collections to buyers, editors and press. I absolutely love this fashion week because I get a glimpse of what might appear on the Bridal Fashion runways. This year, based on these gorgeous looks from Reem Acra, Lela Rose and Monique Lhuillier, I think it's going to be all about draping. Ball gowns and textured tulle were huge last season, a return to the grecian look could be really exciting! Would you wear any of these ready-to-wear designs for your weddding?

TGIF: Get Your Bridezilla Fix on TV TonightOkay, so most of the girls on Say Yes to the Dress aren't exactly Bridezillas, but there is always some drama! Luckily all my dress shopping experiences at Kleinfeld have been drama-free. My best friend found her Amsale dress there, and I was the only one crying (happy tears of course). Can't wait to see what happens tonight. Is anyone else tuning in?

Something Blue: Gown Inspired Bridal BeautyIn anticipation for the Spring 2010 Bridal Fashion Week (it starts October 16th!) I thought I'd use one of my favorite gowns from last season to show of my latest beauty obsession — blue-infused smokey shadow. This Reem Acra dress caught my eye the minute it hit the runway. See, I'm a minimalist when it comes to everyday fashion — jeans, t-shirt, cute flats and I'm out the door, but I'm a sucker for a flirty, feminine wedding gowns (especially ones with subtle blue sashes). Going for smokey eyes? Keep the rest of your makeup fresh and clean. Try a lip tint or sheer coverage lipstick instead of something completely opaque and opt for a blush that adds a hint of color.

Wrist Watch: My Favorite Chunky BraceletsDon't get me wrong, I love stackable bangles, but they can get a little noisy. Chunkier bracelets are a great alternative. These three styles are all wedding worthy. Will you wear a bracelet on your wedding day?

Bridal Fashion From A to Z: P is for PearlI'm always amazed how designers can take the smallest, most traditional gemstone (like the pearl) and create such unique and gorgeous gowns. This Christos gown is truly one of my all-time favorite creations. The sleeves are so gorgeous and they make this very simple A-line dress absolute perfection! For a bit more bling, this Reem Acra dress is definitely next on my list. The pearls have an ombre-like effect - super dense on the bodice then trickling into nothing on the skirt. Okay glamour girls, this Platinum for Priscilla of Boston gown is for you. A fit and flair gown with scattered pearls from head-to-toe. It's elegant drama at it's best. What do you think? Have I made a pearl-lover out of any of you? ![]() ![]() Get up-to-the-minute celebrity wedding news and Hollywood-inspired planning tips and tricks at CelebrityWeddingBuzz.com. ![]() Calling all crafty brides!
