Brides Should Purchase Multiple Wedding Dresses: Contributing Post from Simply Bridal.com

Wearing multiple wedding dresses has become one of the biggest trends in the wedding industry. The trend has so permeated the industry that it is on the fast track to becoming standard bridal fare instead of a celebrity bridal trend. Yet, before you plunk down some serious change for two dress deposits, you should consider what comes with the territory when you decide to wear multiple dresses on your wedding day.
You Get to Dance the Night Away
Is your heart set on wearing a big, ball gown with a 27-foot train, even though it requires you to walk like a tin man? Well, have no fear because you can have your dress and wear another one too. Today’s brides have been wearing their big, beautiful gowns for the ceremony and then ditching them in favor of an easy, but still bridal, dress that allows them to move, shimmy and shake all night long.
You Become a Quick Change Artist
Your guests will be stunned when you walk into the reception in one dress, go into another room and then reappear with a completely different look. If you want to go the entire quick change route, enlist your hairstylist to create a completely different look. Now, that is really something you don’t see every day.
You Will Have a Bigger Headache than Most Brides
Finding your dream dress is stressful in itself, but trying to find two (or possibly three or more) dresses can give you cause to self-destruct. Just think, you have all of the dress one dress requires and then get to multiply it by how many dresses you want to wear. If you’re prone to stress, then this trend may not be right for you.
…and Unfortunately Your Wallet Becomes Smaller
All you need to do is walk into a bridal boutique to remind yourself just how much getting married costs. Dresses can be quite expensive, but if your wallet can handle it, go for it.
The trend of wearing multiple dresses is quite fun, but it also a little time-consuming and more stressful than usual. Although we love seeing brides’ reception dresses, we understand the pleasure and pain that brides must endure if they want to indulge in the trend. So, how many dresses will you be wearing?

Event Recap: Mdurvwa Pop Up Shop hosted by Teena Leone

On Sunday, June 9, 2013 I had the opportunity to attend The Mdurvwa Pop Up Shop hosted by Teena Leone (from Fashion for Breakfast) along with jewelry designer Deborah Mdurvwa and R&B Singer, Lil Mo.  The event was held at a local boutique (in Federal Hill, Baltimore) titled The Lovelace Showroom.

I had a great time at this event for a variety of reasons.  Number one, I love supporting other bloggers because we truly have a passion for what we do and understand the dynamics and hard work that goes into maintaing a website.  Number two, it was my first time visiting The Lovelace Showroom and I adore the “vibe” that’s in this boutique.  From chandelier ceilings to sequin drapes, this is my type of boutique! Lastly, it’s always nice to meet other fashionistas living in the Baltimore area.

Everyone who attended the event also had the opportunity to enjoy cupcakes, light refreshments, and music played by a local DJ.

I give the event a thumbs up and looking forward to the next event hosted by Teena!

Frends Headphones: So Fashionable, So Chic

I am obsessed with the latest set of headphones for trendsetters.  Frends headphones are so stylish and chic, they literally look like oversized studd earrings.

There are severals reasons why we should all grab a pair of these headphones.  Number one, they sit over the ear which makes for comfortable listening.  Number two, the headphones allow you to make hands-free phone calls.  And lastly, they come in gold, rose (which looks chrome) and silver/black.

To sum it up, I am planning to purchase a pair of these headphones in the very, near future.  Frends Headphones can be purchased at Nordstrom, Best Buy, and Brookstone.

How to Find Maternity Swimwear “That Suits” by Guest Contributor Sally Neal

Shopping for maternity clothes can be a nightmare. In fact, shopping for anything baby-related can be a pretty trying experience. From the day you find out you’re expecting, your house will gradually become full of scraps of paper on which you have listed the next ten things you need to buy. Your partner will watch in slow-mo horror as the balance in the joint bank account rapidly plummets from ‘acceptable’ to ‘getting slightly worried’. The spare room will be piled high with prams, Moses baskets, baby-grows donated by well-meaning friends and family and all sorts of other paraphernalia.

Not that I’m trying to put you off, rather I want to help you during such a busy time. Take a leaf out my book: don’t sweat the small stuff. For example, I spent a great deal of time trying on maternity swimming costumes and bikinis in the shops when I was expecting, only to realise that I could have found one on line. The Internet is a fantastic tool to use when you are pregnant, as there are loads of handy hints about what you need to do and lots of blogs which you can read.

I also felt under quite a lot of pressure to do a sufficient amount of exercise whilst pregnant. At first, I carried on with my normal light jogging routine, but after a while I found running was too much to contend with. Going for long walks sounded like an attractive option, but unfortunately I worked full time up until 8 months so I could not devote time to doing this. Then I found out that swimming was a viable alternative.

In terms of exercise, for example, swimming is one of the best ways a Mum-to-be can get the exercise she needs without overstretching. In terms of swimwear, fashion lines are much more au fait with flattering a pregnant wearer than a decade ago, hence there is a much wider choice of cossies to choose from. Comfort and flexibility make for a comfortable bikini or swim suit.

Here’s how to choose a swim suit to suit you:

-Pick a bikini or costume with adjustable straps to support your bust, should you need additional support in this area

– If you are feeling smaller on top, a halter neck bikini top will enhance your bust. Bright colours or ruffles will also help draw attention to the bust

-As many women are blessed with large hips, a heavily detailed swimsuit or a halter neck style works well to draw attention from this area. Should you opt for a bikini, wearing darker bottom halves will focus the eyes on the top

-If you have a boyish figure, choosing a low-leg swimsuit will make your body appear longer
So, grab a swimming costume and get rid of all that pregnancy stress by going for a swim. It can’t be that bad, as people do it again and again! In fact, I’m currently pregnant with baby number two! Better start writing some more lists…
