Here are some helpful money saving hints on buying your wedding gown. Check out Macy's and Bergner's for cocktail dresses or special occasion dresses in white and off white. Buy a bridesmaid dress, they are always more affordable than a bridal gown and remember "you can always wear it again".

Urban Outfitters Flight Pattern Silk Scarf - $28.00 Urban Outfitters Square Printed Scarf - $20.00 Urban Outfitters Crosshatch Shawl - $19.99 It seems like June Gloom has come early this year to So Cal. I can’t think of a better way fight the urge to curl up under a blanket than with a new budget accessory - the warm weather scarf.

  Yes, the end is nigh for disposable ‘trash’ fashion. Well, it must be true if the BBC are telling us that cheap chic (an oxymoron if ever there was one) is on the way out. Have they been reading our blog, we wonder?   For the past decade or so, fast ‘fad’ fashion has dominated the high streets and supermarket aisles.

Your bridesmaids will spend not just one day, but a mass amount of time making sure your wedding and the events leading up to it are perfect - after all, they are your best friends, right? Well, while best friends deserve the best, you may not have a platinum budget to thank them.

TopShops outfit (to the right), floral zip jacket and a matching floral zip pocket skirt reminds us very much of the Balenciaga flower dress that we all remeber very well from the spring/summer show 08. I can’t really see me self in this outfit, or neither of them to be honest.

I am a business owner and hope to have product offerings very soon. I understand the business of mark-ups; I mean you have to make your profit somewhere. There is a difference between profit margin1 and an overcharge. Bridal shops mark up the costs of the gowns they sell to make a profit. We all know this.

Beware of the excessive tiny charges that add up when you are purchasing a gown. Most brides have and will only buy a gown once in their entire lives which means that bridal salons can get away with charging fees that you will not question. These questionable fees and charges may seem small at first but they add up to a large final bill.

Now, what kinda blogger would I be if I didn’t explain that one. What am I trying to say already? Well, Goo Goo Ga Ga is what I call fluffy talk. You will no doubt get a lot of this from your friends and family each time you try on a gown.

I have loved Rachel Bilson’s style ever since she made she debut as Summer Rogers in The O.C. One of my favorite things about her sense of style is her use of accessories. She makes great use of handbags, sunglasses, hats, and belts.
