NOT YOUR USUAL WEDDING GOWNS

(PSA: Since we're both engaged, it is seriously double the wedding talk on Jess & Jill.)

Whether you're an offbeat bride or planning to do things a little different on your wedding day, there's a dress for you... and me! I'm sharing my favorite dresses that aren't a shade of ivory, not your typical fabric or silhouette, and gowns that aren't even from a bridal line, but are all still perfect to wear down the aisle.

COVERING THE COVER GIRL STYLE: GLAMOUR

It's almost September and that can only mean one thing (and no, not my birthday, but almost just as important)... it's time for September issues! And what better way to celebrate the upcoming month than by sharing some clothing inspired by some of pop culture's top women's magazine covers. There's nobody more deserving to start this trend off than Victoria Beckham, my favorite Spice Girl, and one of my favorite celebrity-turned designers. I'm a sucker for anything lace and black, and adding in bright orange is making me really excited for Fall.
