Love it or Hate it?: A New Bridal Brand from the Brains Behind Anthropologie

Anthro Get this, come Spring 2011 Anthropologie will be a source for more than just inspiration.

The minds behind this perfectly vintage company are launching a new bridal brand. Think---heirloom wedding gowns, bridesmaid and occasion dresses, shoes and bags, jewelry and accessories, and more!

Let the countdown begin.

Oh, and unfortunately this image is not a preview, just another dose of fashion inspiration from Anthropologie's March 2010 Catalog.

Let me be the first to say: LOVE IT!

What's Hot Now: The Wedding Workout You Wear

filed under: Accessories, Fashion
Shatobu

So, I know these look just like any other control-top, tummy-tucking suit (and they'll do that), but the ShāToBu Shaper is actually more of an excuse to skip the gym.

If you hate running "laps" on a treadmill (like me) then you'll either have to diet (ugh) or find some other way to burn calories. Well, here it is: The built-in resistance bands---yep, the very same ones you'd find in the gym---make your legs and butt work just a bit harder when you're walking home from work or heading to a party.

Gym-goer or not...would you try them?

Hot Bridal Accessory: Sheer Tights?

filed under: Accessories
Tights

I spotted these shimmery tights on the Spring 2010 Jenny Packham runway.

You see, I've been anti-sheer and all-about-opaque when it comes to my leg wear for years, but there's something about these opal-colored leggings that caught my eye.

I like how they make shorter dresses feel a bit fancier. What do you think?

Black Tie Affair: Not-So-White Wedding Gowns

filed under: Accessories, Dresses, Fashion
Hl
Believe it or not, black was the hottest gown hue to hit the bridal runways this season. So I thought, in an homage to Halloween, I'd highlight some of the boldest wedding gowns of the bunch.

Want jewelry to pair with your goth gown? I love this necklace by Anna Ruth Henriques. The spider charm is super subtle so it's wearable the rest of the year too!

What do you think: Wedding worthy, or more appropriate for a costume ball?

Bedside Manner: La Perla Bridal Lingerie

filed under: Accessories, Fashion
Perla


I just got word that La Perla is launching their first ever bridal collection (around november), and it is to die for. The pictures really speak for themselves — they're gorgeous, right?

My favorite piece: the delicate lace slip (the one on the right). I love the way it looks with those ribbon-detailed shoes (touches of black are hot on the bridal scene right now). I know, it's a splurge, but looking good in your lingerie is — okay, here's a total cliché — priceless.

Getting Personal: Gorgeous Monogram Necklaces

Untitled-2

These personalized nameplates make the perfect wedding day jewelry. I love the idea of giving a less glitzy option to your bridesmaids and keeping a diamond studded style for yourself.

Would you get just your first initial or add your new last name too?
