Bridesmaids

"Always a bridesmaid, but never a bride". That's an expression I've come to know and live quite well. :) After being in a few weddings as a bridesmaid, and working at a bridal salon where I worked with a lot of these girls, I know a lot about this category. Bridesmaids don't have to be equated with pepto-bismal colored, puffy-sleeved dresses in awful taffeta. Thank God the 80's and early 90's are long gone!

For a formal, evening wedding, full length gowns are more appropriate, where as tea-length (hitting just below the knee) dresses are perfect for daytime or summer weddings. Rules have also changed a bit where it's not necessarily required for all bridesmaids to be clones of one another. Let each individual come out! You can have all in the same dress, but let them wear their own jewelry and shoes; or have all in the same color gown but in different styles. The latter option is the best bet if your girls are all shapes and sizes. That way each girl can wear a style that best flatters her body. If you stick with the same designer, you can usually pick two or three different dress styles in the same fabric and color. Also, when it comes to ordering, make sure all the dresses are ordered from the same boutique and the order goes in together, as dye lots can vary. Out of town bridesmaids? They can usually call in with their measurements and order over the phone, then have their dress shipped to them for alterations. Ok, enough talk. Here are some designers (with a picture of a style I like) that are affordable for your bridesmaids. Most dresses average from $120-$200.

1. Dessy Collection:

2. After Six (part of the Dessy Group):


3. Wtoo: The more affordable line within a company called Watters.


4. Jim Hjelm:


5. Belsoie:

Just a side note: If you're asking friends to be in your wedding, realize that you are also asking them to contribute to a major expense by buying their own wedding attire that you choose. If you don't plan on buying every one's dresses, keep in mind all the extra costs that go into their role as a bridesmaid. In addition to a dress, there can be extra things such as alterations, matching jewelry, and shoes. Most places will give a discount or free alterations if you bought your bridal dress at the same location. Come from a strict religion where everyone needs to be more modest in the church? Give wraps or shawls to all of your girls as their gift. Having each girl pay for straps being put on or a sleeve to be built on not only makes the dress often uglier and unwearable again, but is another cost for your close friends. So, be considerate of the commitment you're requesting and try to keep prices low for your girls.

Bridal Fabric and Silhouettes

I feel like I could talk about bridal/bridesmaids fashion for eons since I worked in bridal for awhile, but I'll keep it short and sweet. Today I'm going to touch on silhouettes and fabrics to watch out for when choosing a bridal gown.

Bridal gowns are usually made out of the following silk fabrics: satin, duppioni, shantung, charmeuse, taffeta, lace, chiffon, or georgette. The main shades a gown can come in are white or ivory. If your skin tone is not dark, you should NOT be wearing pure white. Especially for silk duppioni or silk shantung: these are raw silks, so ivory is the natural color of the fiber. If you buy white in these fabrics, the fibers are being bleached and it can look fake and harsh. Silk charmeuse is a beautiful fabric perfect for sheath gowns that is common for a beach wedding. But be careful, it's a very clingy fabric and is often cut on the bias, so you'll need a good body to pull it off because it will show every flaw!


Silhouettes

1. A Line: Probably the most common silhouette. This style looks good on everybody. It's not too slim, and not too big, it's juuuuussst right. :) It's fitted in the bodice and flares out at the hip. This is great for hiding a heavier bottom (aka pear shaped).



2. Ball Gown: Calling all Cinderella wanna-be's!! This is the true "princess" dress and is the most formal you can find. Not having your wedding in a large indoor ballroom though? Probably not the best dress for you. You'll look really silly wearing a huge gown near the beach or for a small, intimate affair. Petite girls also need to be careful with this silhouette. It can swallow you whole. YOU need to wear the dress, and not let the dress wear you. Ball gowns normally have a dropped waist too which can also shorten an already short girl because you will have to hem the bottom and will end up chopping off so much skirt you'll look unproportioned. This is good for both bottom heavy girls and boy-shaped, as it can hide bottom flaws as well as make straight girls look curvier.


3. Mermaid: Two words: hot mama. This silhouette is very form-fitting and is perfect for all you tall, long waisted chicas. It screams modern, yet sophisticated. This style hugs the body all the way down to the knees and then flares out. The only problem with this style? It might be a little difficult to walk and dance the night away with little leg movement, so keep that in mind. A good compromise that I like? A variated mermaid that flares more at mid-thigh. This silhouette also works best at any venue.


4. Sheath: Usually made with slinky silk charmeuse or chiffon, this silhouette is simple and sleek. It can either hang from an empire waist and fall straight down (known as a "column" dress), or hug each and every curve you have! Again, if you are self-conscious about certain areas such as a pudgy tummy or large rear, this is not the dress for you! Still like the simplicity of this silhouette though? Just choose a thicker fabric like satin to help hide your trouble areas, instead of charmeuse and chiffon. This is perfect for petite girls too! This is the most popular silhouette for beach weddings and destination weddings (because it packs so small!).

Bridal Fashion

This week (and maybe some of next) I'm devoting all posts to weddings. I know not many of you are getting married and are thinking, "I don't care about this stuff!". But, I'm not just talking about bridal gowns. I'll go over what is good for bridesmaids, as well as wedding etiquette, and what to wear as a guest to a wedding.

It's that time of year, where couples are dropping like flies around us by getting hitched. Even as a single girl, this is one of my favorite times of the year! I love going to weddings. Who doesn't love an excuse to get dressed up where there's great food, an open bar, and fun music to dance the night away? Plus, I just love all that goes into weddings: gorgeous florals, creative table decor, as well as paper products, such as invitations, programs, and place cards. Here's where I'll do my quick plug to my sister's company. :) She has an eco-luxe stationery company. Not only does Copper Willow specialize in greeting cards and other notes, they have gorgeous letterpress invitations, save-the-dates, maps, menus, etc. My sister will design custom products, or you can buy off the shelf at your local retailer. Plus, everything about the company is "green". Who doesn't love that?? Go to www.copperwillow.com for more.

Today is a quick overview of bridal gown designers I like for those who are getting married, or maybe just like to look at bridal magazines and swoon over a dress they'll wear one day (as I admit to doing). Lindsay, on the other hand, probably doesn't. :P


Here's a list of what I consider affordable designers (under $2,500) and don't compromise quality:

1. Jim Hjelm- one of my faves! He does gorgeous lace gowns similar to Monique Lhuillier, but for much less, as well as bead In addition to Jim Hjelm Couture, he has a cheaper line called "Visions". Other designers within this label are Tara Keely, Lazaro, and Alvina Valenta. You can't go wrong with any of these!

www.jimhjelm.com

2. Paloma Blanca-

www.palomablanca.com

3. James Clifford- www.jamescliffordcollection.com

4. Pronovias- one of my other faves. They have gorgeous gowns for an average price point of $1,600. Gotta love that right? They are based out of Barcelona, and have many, many other designer lines that are more expensive (like Manual Mota, Elie Saab, and Valentino Sposa), so be sure to try on their regular line! They are also popular for their variety of laces and natural fabrics such a silk duppioni and shantung.

5. Demetrios-

If price of your dream gown isn't an issue, here's a quick list of some of my favorite higher priced designers.

- Monique L'huillier
- Rivini
- Romona Keveza
- Reem Acra
- Liancarlo
- Vera Wang
- Casablanca
- Amsale
- Amy Michelson (great for destination dresses!)

More DIY Tips

As promised, today is packed full of more DIY spa treatments. Here goes:



Skin brightening: Slice an orange, grapefruit, or lemon in half, squeeze it so the juice runs down your hands. Shake off the excess and pat what's left on your hands onto your face. Vitamin C brightens and tightens your skin.



Exfoliating: Brush your body with a bath brush while your skin is dry- before showering. Not only does this brush off dry, dead skin, but it also helps boost your circulation...which is good for your skin!



Not just for Halloween: I love pumpkin. I cook with it because of it's fantastic health benefits. It's obviously fun at Halloween to carve a jack-o-lantern. And furthermore, it's amazing for your skin. So when you scoop all that gunk out of your pumpkin before carving it's face, pop it (seeds and all) into the blender for a couple minutes to grind up the seeds. Rub all over your body and let sit for five or ten minutes before rinsing for a skin conditioning mask.



Lip Conditioner: Honey. Tasty, shiny, albeit a bit sticky.



Oatmeal: ...is great as an exfoliant and skin soother, and the best part is, it works for any skin type. It helps soak up oil, exfoliate dry skin, and soothe sensitive skin. Cook up some oatmeal and mix with an egg white and lemon juice for oily skin, a yolk and some avocado for dry skin, or a whole egg and some honey for sensitive skin. Smear on the mask, leave for ten to fifteen minutes, and rinse with lukewarm water.



Blackhead peel: 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin, 2 tablespoons milk. Dissolve over low heat, allow to cool, smear it on your face and hang out for a half hour. Peel it off- it's like a hundred pore strips have been sitting in your kitchen all this time!



My mom always told us "put some witch hazel on it," if we had a bugbite, a random itch, or a wacko skin irritation. Witch hazel is a natural antiseptic, and makes a great facial toner (just avoid the delicate skin around your eyes, where it can sting a bit). Keep it in the fridge and it's more soothing.



Rinse your hair with some steeped tea in the color closest to your hair color after conditioning. It will add shine and bring out your highlights.



That's it for today. Stay tuned for Megan's wedding blitz next week!

More Remedies and DIY Tips

I just learned some things from Megan that I never knew. WD40 as a cleanser? Who knew? Not me! Here's one more for you guys- from my own aresenal...

Greasy food stains on your clothes are never cute. Put a couple drops of Dawn (or other grease cutting liquid dish detergent) on the stain, let it set for a minute or two, then add some warm water and rub gently. Wash normally. Don't put it in the dryer until you're satisfied that the stain is gone! The beauty of this one is that the dish detergent is formulated to cut through food grease, so that pizza grease or buttery sauce is no match for it!

Onward and upward:

Face it girls, even though we're either grown up, growing up, or pretending to be, we still love playing beauty shop with our girlfriends. As we grew out of our Cavaricci's and into our Tahari, we started going for Mani/Pedi's instead of doing our best friends' nails in the backyard, and that gets EXPENSIVE! These days, we're all pinching pennies, and frankly, a few years out of college and no longer living with 4 of my very best friends has me missing slumber parties! It's not that I don't love some very sweet girl I don't know snipping my cuticles and playing soothing nature sounds for me as she asks me what I do for a living and makes small talk while a hoarde of eleven year old girls are screaming and cackling about a boy they all like as they sit through their spa birthday party. It sometimes just seems like it would be more fun if I was just home with my girlfriends, and Megan was scolding me for my occassionally less than traditional views, painting polka dots on my nails and turning up the volume when "Like a Prayer" shuffled it's way onto my Itunes. So, for your slumber party and girlfriends' spa weekend at home pleasure, I'm going to spend today and tomorrow posting about some homemade beauty fun.

*Manicures & Pedicures*

Foot Soak: Each girl gets a tub of hot water with 5 or 6 green tea bags. When it's cool enough to dunk your toes, soak your feet and sip your mimosa til the water in your bucket is completely cool. Rub your feet with fresh mint leaves and moisturize with olive or baby oil. To make the soak even more luxurious and refreshing, you can add some rose petals, mint leaves, or essential oils to the tub. Personally, I love relaxing lavender, but some other outstanding ones are peppermint (refreshing), eucalyptus (antiseptic), grapefruit (toning), and tea tree (skin-clearing).

Scrub: Toss a handful of shelled almonds or walnuts, a generous drizzle of olive oil (two quick trips around the bowl should be plenty) and a squeeze of honey into a food processor. Grind until there are no more chunks of the walnuts/almonds left. Scrub over feet, hands, or other dry areas that need exfoliating for a few minutes and rinse well with lukewarm water. Pat dry and moisturize immediately.

Scrub 2: Make a runny paste out of baby oil and sugar. My favorite is the lavender scented Johnson's. It smells fantastic, and the sugar exfoliates gently while the oil moisturizes as you give yourself a mini massage. So relaxing.

Cuticle Treatment: Almond oil! Rub it on your cuticles daily to keep them smooth and keep your nails from splitting. Bonus- it smells amazing!

Have another mimosa while you chat with your girlfriends and roll your feet over tennis balls, which stimulates the pressure points and provides an outstanding massage! More tomorrow!

Home Remedies for Stain Removal

Removing tough stains from your clothes can becoming expensive if you rely on all of the stain remover products out there. Before you treat any stain on clothing be sure to remember these rules.

1. Test a small part of the fabric in a inconspicuous place for color fastness with a white cloth. If color rubs off on the cloth, it's not good for stain removing chemicals.

2. The quicker you act on removing the stain, the higher chance of success you will have in actually removing the stain.

3. ALWAYS blot stains when treating it. Rubbing too harshly may damage the fabric. Then work only from the outside of the stain towards the center as to avoid a ring around the stained area.


Now, here are some home remedies:

Lipstick: Vaseline is great for removing lipstick from clothing. If that doesn't work, rub a little shortening in and wash as normal.

Blood: Pour hydrogen peroxide on the stain. It will bubble like it does on your skin. Rub it lightly and rinse with cold water. Another remedy is to sprinkle unseasoned meat tenderizer on the stain. This will digest the protein in the blood and help the stain to fade.

Ball point pen: Spray the stain with hair spray and then blot with a clean, dry cloth.

Chewing Gum: Rub the garment with ice or put the whole thing in the freezer. This will harden the gum and make it easy to scrape off as much as you can. Then, wash as normal.

Coffee: Rinse with cold water as soon as possible. If the stain is already set, mix 1/3 cup white vinegar with 2/3 cup water. Blot with a towel, rinse with water, and blot dry.

Perspiration stains: Do you ever notice that your white shirts start to get a yellow-ish stain in the armpit area? If you don't want to buy bleach, blot a little vinegar on the spot, then rinse with cool water and wash in very hot water (as hot as is safe for the type of fabric).

Deodorant: Take a sock and turn it inside out. Rub the deodorant off of the fabric with the sock. Another quick way is to rub the fabric of the garment where the stain is onto another area of the same garment.

Soiled shirt collars: Rub shampoo on the collar (which is for removing body oils) before washing.

Tomato sauce: Spray WD-40 on the stain, wait a few minutes, then wash as usual.

Wine: Pour club soda on the stain as soon as possible. If the stain is more set, mix dishwashing detergent and water into a paste and rub into the fabric. Wash with the hottest water possible.

Here are a few great options to get you started:

Tribal Print Scarf, www.forever21.com, $5.80.

Made for the Shade

Ah, spring. The birds are chirping, the days are getting longer...and brighter, which brings me to my point: Protecting yourself from the sun! I shouldn't have to tell you that your daytime moisturizer should have an SPF of at least 15 and should be used EVERY day, even in winter, and even when it's overcast out. But I digress: Today, I want to talk about SUNGLASSES! What a fun accessory! I love them. They're cute, they can set a mood, and they protect your eyes, not to mention the skin around them from yucky crows feet! Fashion AND function? What's not to love?

A lot of people neglect the sunglass cases when shopping and just grab any random (and usually unflattering) pair because they simply don't know how to find the right pair. Here's how to get it right:

First, take an old lipstick or a bar of soap and stand in front of a mirror. Using the lipstick or soap (which will wash off your mirror very easily), trace the outline of your face, from your hairline to your cheekbones to your chin. Your face will likely fall into one of the following categories: round, oval, heart, or square. You should be able to tell by the outline you've drawn on the mirror- step away from it to get the best view of the shape. Remember: The most important thing is 100% UV protection! If that's not tagged on the glasses, DON'T BUY THEM! They may be cute but they'll do nothing for your eyes, and the whole point is protecting your vision. Here's the fun part:

If you have a . . .

Round Face: Your face is as wide as it is tall and has rounded edges, so you want to balance that. Try square or rectangular frames to slim it down and elongate it. These rectangular frames from Target are a perfect option for only $14.99!

Oval Face: Your face is considered "ideal" for sunglasses because of its balanced proportions. Your face is taller than it is wide and has rounded edges. You're lucky in that you can choose nearly any style- they'll all flatter you- but you have a challenge ahead of you because there are so many options for you! These, from Forever 21, are only $5.80, and are a trendy, plaid-printed version of Ray Ban's Wayfarer style. So much fun!

Heart Face: Your outline might look like a heart or more like an upside down triangle. You have a broad forehead and a narrower chin, so you generally want to stick with more delicate frames, such as aviators, rimless or shield styles, or even cat-eye styles to balance things out. Avoid big, chunky, or bold frames as they'll draw too much attention to your forehead. Try these aviators from Old Navy, only $9.50!

Square Face: Your face is more angular at the jawline and possibly along the hairline, so you want to try to soften your features. Create a sense of balance by adding curves: Rounder frames or even a cat-eye style will complement your face best. Try this pair, modeled after Jackie O.'s style, for only $14.99 from Urban Outfitters.

Happy hunting! I like to pick up a few pairs of cheap shades to keep in my car, my beach bag, and my purse just in case I forget to grab my regular ones. Plus, I like to mix it up a little- makes life more interesting! If you like to wear higher end sunglasses, try the bargain basements for amazing deals- I've seen amazing designer styles for less than $40 many times! When buying designer, stick to a classic style, like an aviator, Wayfarer, or a plain rectangle, and a basic black or tortoise color so that you'll get the most use out of them. If you want turquoise polka dot frames, awesome, go for it, but don't pay more than ten dollars for them!

The Many Uses of...

Vaseline!

This cheap drugstore staple is one of the best things to have in the house. It's cuticle cream, lip balm and gloss (you can tint it by mixing with blush!), understated mascara, eyebrow gel, and so many more things. An ultra rich moisturizer? check. Smear it on your feet and put on some cotton socks before bed for a quick pedi. One of my favorite uses is to get scuffs out of my leather shoes. I almost never have the right color shoe polish around, but there's ALWAYS Vaseline! Rub a little bit into the scuff, let it marinate for a few minutes while you accessorize, and wipe off with a soft cloth or tissue before you walk out the door. I usually just rub it all over my shoes to wipe out the worn and faded areas, creases, and waterspots. It's like getting new shoes for the penny or so's worth of Vaseline you just used! More uses: Some people use it as a nighttime face cream- My skin would freak out, but I'd give it a go for the eye area! I love it for elbow and knee softening, too.

And there you have it, folks, my shameless plug for Vaseline. Probably one of our cheapest and oldest drugstore beauty products, and still a time tested favorite. Comment this post with your favorite random uses for it!

Another Fab Find!

I was on the Promenade in Santa Monica with my sister last week and we stepped into Forever 21 to see if there was anything to report on and I found this fabulous necklace! I just had to have it! It was only $10.80 too!! This is a great example of a bib necklace that I talked about a few weeks ago. This is definitely a statement piece. I wore it recently with skinny jeans and a plain black shirt and it rocked! I got at least 15 compliments that night by other people- guys and girls! You know it's good when a guy can notice it and say something about it. I also like this because it's plain, so it lends the opportunity to wear it with many outfits! It hits pretty low near the cleavage line, so it looks best when worn with a wide v-neck, or a higher neckline such as a turtleneck or crew neck.

Fab Finds at Payless

Today's fab finds I'd like to share come from the bargain shoe store Payless. Both sandals below fit under the global/tribal trend this season (see my old post on this trend for more info). The first shoe is a variation of a gladiator heel. It's from Abaete for Payless for just $38!. I like this one because it hints at the gladiator trend, but it's not over the top so it's perfect for someone who wants to try it out in a simpler version. Plus, the natural tone will go with everything in your wardrobe!!

The second shoe pictured is a simplified version of the fringe trend. As I mentioned before, both Lindsay and I aren't big fans of this trend, but this sandal is simple enough that I actually don't mind it! It's on sale now for $19.99 at paylessshoes.com.

Take Your Color Temperature

We've pointed out a couple of times that you should know if you're warm, cool, or neutral. Some of you have probably heard about your color temperature and some of you are probably wondering what on God's green earth we're talking about. Your color temperature is a great way to tell if you look better in warm tones like red, orange, and gold or cooler tones like green, blue, and silver. If you've ever read in a magazine about your skin's "undertones," this is really where they come into play- pink undertones are warm, blue are cool. You can be neutral, as well, which gives you a wider palette of colors that work on you, but also a greater margin for error when trying to put an outfit together!

There are lots of ways to try to figure out whether you're a warm, a cool, or a neutral. Here's one I like: Regardless of what metals are trendy, do you look better in gold or silver jewelry? If you glitter in gold, you're a warm, and if you shine in silver, you're a cool. If you can go with either, you're a neutral. Still can't tell? Try going bigger: Grab a sheet of silvery foil and a sheet of gold foil (like the kind florists use, mylar balloons, or gift wrap) and drape them around your shoulders. Stand in front of a mirror to see what flatters you most. You might already know that you look better in blues and greens than in oranges and yellows- you're probably a cool. Do you have a brick red sweater that always gets you compliments? You're probably a warm. It's been said that most warms have darker or olive skin tones and are likely to tan easily, and most cools are fairer and likely to burn. This is a good guideline, but not all fair women are cool and vice versa.

Keep in mind, if you're a warm you can still wear "cool" colors- but you'll often find that "warm" versions of them look best on you. For example, a warm who just loves green might find that a lime green, with it's yellowy tones, will flatter her more than a mint green, which has a bit more blue. Likewise, red can lean more toward orange (red-orange, which is a very warm red) or more toward blue (red-violet, a cool red). You'll find this especially helpful when buying lipstick- no warm coral lipstick if you have cool undertones!

It's important to know where you stand- warm, cool, or neutral- so that you can stop wasting money on unflattering shades of makeup and pieces of clothing that just don't do anything for you. If you know you're a cool and a salesperson in a department store is trying to sell you warm, honey toned blush, clearly she has no idea what she's doing. You want something that's truly pink, as well as a more skilled makeup artist who wants you to look good and become a repeat customer. On the other hand, if you're a warm and there's an amazing deal on an icy blue cashmere sweater, and you really just LOVE the sweater, go ahead and buy it - it's fashion, there are no hard and fast rules (except for the no dark lipliner thing and that crocs are disgusting). Promise me one thing: Try it on in the store, check the return policy, and try it on again at home to make sure you still love it before you take off the tags.

I made a color wheel out of one of my own wardrobe staples- the Converse sneakers I would certainly shrivel up and die without- so you guys can check yourselves. Can you spot the warm versions of cool colors and the cool versions of warm colors? Happy hunting :)

Bullseye!

Consider this my mini ode to Target...
So remember a few weeks ago, when Megan told us all about Target's fab Erickson Beamon jewelry line? Oversize gems and fun floral pieces at prices we can actually handle- well, they're starting to MARK IT DOWN!!! That's right, some of those fab pieces of flashy cocktail gems are even more affordable than they were two weeks ago. Seriously. I was there today. Awesome right? While you're there, check out their fashion jewelry- the Xhileration line usually has some cheap and cheerful pieces scattered through the collection. Each month they add a new themed grouping to their trend jewelry wall, and right now there are lots of candy brights, naturals, and chunky metals. Myself, I was having more of a makeup kind of day, so I picked up a set of Sonia Kashuk makeup brushes for about $15 for six brushes AND a case. LOVE these brushes! I've had a travel size set for a long time now, and I wanted to upgrade because they're pretty fantastic. They act and feel like a more expensive brush- as in, they don't shed all over the place, they don't make me itch, and the hairs are soft and silky instead of stiff or uneven. I also ended up taking home a new Boots moisturizer for my very sensitive skin, and a Boots translucent loose powder (it's contained in its own brush, very compact and me-friendly). Everything I bought was on sale! So, I'm kind of loving the bulls-eye today ;-)

We'd love for you to let us know how we're doing, about great deals you've found at your favorite stores, or what trend you're seeing and loving (or hating!), so feel free to comment or email us at wnkspot@gmail.com! Also, we welcome all your questions about anything fashion related! Have a fab weekend!
