{Guest Post} Je T’aime Paris

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 by admin

I need to let you in on a little secret…I am having a love affair…with Paris. The city of lights doesn’t yet know I am “the one” as we have yet to meet, but when we do, ce sera magique (it will be magic).  When the time comes to eat cheese, drink wine, and take in the sights and sounds I will be ready, perfect striped tee and all!

{Guest Post} Viva Mexico!

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010 by admin

Hi! I am so excited to be back guest blogging again. Maybe because it’s summer but the travel bug has bitten me…big time! Since the Mr. and I have some fun trips planned over the next few months I started thinking about the various wardrobes I’ll need (I’m a sucker for any excuse to shop). So in keeping with the fashion focus of The Styled Bride I put together the frocks I’d rock if I were a bride again and getting married somewhere fabulous!

I’m Out… For the Week

Monday, June 28th, 2010 by admin

My husband and I have been planning on renovating our kitchen for a while, but we decided very last minute (last Friday) that we were going to start demolition the next day (Saturday). We just wrapped up day 3 of the renovation and I am having a hard time focusing. So, I have enlisted the help of Wedded Away Co-Founder Julia Lavine to guest post for the week. You are in great hands.

Puppy Love

Monday, June 28th, 2010 by admin

I love puppies. I am not responsible enough to have one right now, but I know and appreciate the devotion and love people have for their pups. Including your dog in your wedding is becoming increasingly more popular. So, it goes without being said that Fido will need a fabulous outfit too!

Did you get a new iPhone this week? I am still using a now, not-as-cool older version, but of course my husband ordered one and practically stalked FedEx until it came. So in leu of the madness, I found some Styled Bride approved cases. Happy Friday.

Ain’t Life Grand

Monday, June 21st, 2010 by admin

No that I discovered 57 Grand, life for the everyday bridesmaid just got grander. It’s a modern line out of New York that really focuses on the re-wearibility of their dresses. To make their point they even feature some ways to wear it again in real life, and they will even send you a sample dress (for $15) if you can’t make your way to the big apple. But wait, there’s more. Check out their accessories here!

Friday, June 18th, 2010 by admin

My husband and I are notorious for being last minute, and possibly the worst planners on the planet. Fortunately, I was lucky this year because I stumbled upon the  ultimate gift for my dad a couple weeks ago.  Generally, I am scrambling last minute to find the perfect thing, so for all you procrastinators out there, here’s to you! Have a great weekend with Dad.
