Wedding Dress Shopping - Part 2 (Trying them on)

Image
When my initial preparation was completed it was time to hit the shops and try dresses on. I only been to a wedding shop once before when I was a bridesmaid for my gorgeous friend. She already picked her dress and wanted us to see it. Gorgeous dresses by Wendy Makin I must say that it was quite confronting at first to try dresses on. I had no idea what I wanted and was asked lots of questions I couldn't answer straight away. Plus I had to undress in front of complete stranger, was squeezed into very tight dress and had to hear lots of comments about my body First of all right underwear makes the biggest difference in terms of your personal comfort and they way you will look in wedding dress. I found that plain deep plunge strapless bra was the best! It could be worn with any type of wedding dress. If you are going to wear t-shirt bra sales assistant will most likely make you to take it off and give you their corset (ewww, I refused to wear one) or will dress you while ...

Wedding Dress Shopping - Part 1 (Preparation)

I can't believe that it has been six months already since we got engaged! My wedding is nine months away and time is ticking fast. It is true what people say, wedding planning is stressful and takes a lot of time. My reception was booked very early on so we could set a date. Next step on my list was searching for the perfect dress. The search began three months ago. I had no idea what I wanted and what would suit me. I want it to be special and have that WOW factor when I look at myself in the mirror. However that WOW moment didn't happen to me for a while.

Shopbop - Neon Bracelet and MJ earrings!

Image
 After my first very positive Shopbop  experience I've decided to place another order. They had 15% off already reduced items and I had my eye on this Juicy Couture bracelet. Neon trend seems to be big ATM but I wasn't too sure if I could pull off a neon shirt or was committed enough to a neon clutch. So neon accessory seemed like a good choice. It lived to my expectations, I love it! The quality is good and it looks great on my wrist. I can see myself wearing it with black, grey or navy dress. I think it will brighten up any outfit without being too OTT. I also got myself a pair of there cute Marc Jacobs earrings. They got lots of good reviews on Shopbop so I decided to give them a go. I really like them! They are perfect for everyday and feel very comfortable. I do however have very sensitive ears and can't wear them for more than 10-12 hours. P.S I know that I have been MIA recently. I've been so busy with gym, wedding planning, work and life i...
