The Outnet (and an eye-wateringly good deal for this weekend only)

POSTED on July 1, 2011 by Kerenjoin the convo

I discovered The Outnet a couple of days ago, and have been drooling my way through the delectable designer clothing and accessories ever since.  The Outnet is part of Net-a-Porter (yum), only everything is hugely discounted – up to 70% off loads of things.   Now here’s the thing – they’ve got an extra 30% on top of the regular discounts for this weekend only (it finishes at 10am BST on Monday), so if you want some heart-stopping bargains (like the beautiful Alexander McQueen gown at the bottom left…), you know where to go.

Dress of the Day 09 | Alan Hannah

POSTED on June 30, 2011 by Keren1

Not a dress exactly…

I mentioned a while back that Alan Hannah had the most amazing outfit at the White Gallery which made everybody smile, and here it is finally.  Isn’t it seriously seventies sensational?! I would LOVE to see an edgy bride wearing this.

Top 20 best dressed celebrity brides of all time

POSTED on June 21, 2011 by Keren3

I’ve noticed in my Google Analytics that (for some reason) I keep getting hits from people wanting to know the most beautiful wedding dresses of all time.  Which made me think, hey, great idea for a blog post (though I’m limiting it to the celebrity angle so it’s not too huge)! So thanks, you creative surfers.  But then I got to thinking, well, that’s a pretty weighty topic to claim knowledge on, and really this ought to be a democratic process.  So I need your help, lovely readers.

What celebrities do you think deserve to be on the top 20 list?  Once I have a list, I’ll open up a poll, but I need the list first.  Feel free to pull from films, real life, the past, the present, wherever – I’d love you to contribute.

I’m starting it with two dresses (that are in fact v. similar) – Grace Kelly’s wedding dress, and Katherine Middleton’s wedding dress.  So, what else?

White by Vera Wang, at David’s Bridal

POSTED on June 17, 2011 by Kerenjoin the convo

If you’ve always hankered after Vera Wang but thought it was waay out of your budget ballpark, something MOST exciting happened at the beginning of the year – Vera Wang teamed up with David’s Bridal (the largest bridalwear retailer in the US, and by largest, I mean 300 stores and counting *gulp*) to create a diffusion line. And predictably, the dresses are beautiful.

Obviously there are also bridesmaid dresses by David’s Bridal, but specifically there are Vera Wang bridesmaid dresses! Oh yes indeedy, and they are so pretty they make your eyes ache. Beautiful lines, dramatic detailing… bliss.
