Lately I’ve been on a drugstore review kick. Truth be told, I’m actually a huge fan of drugstore cosmetics brands.

Test Drives: Tarte, e.l.f., NYX, NudeStix & Profusion

NYBFW A/W 2019: Classic Style with Daalarna CoutureSo Daalarna Couture was the last gown collection that I previewed at One Fine Day but they’re actually not a “new-to-me” brand.

NYBFW A/W 2019: Attention to Details with Olia ZavozinaI’m all about seeing gowns in motion.

From active dancing to a laid … Continue reading

NYBFW A/W 2019: Whimsical Brides at the Laure de Sagazan PresentationNot every bride wants a “traditional” ballgown or even a slinky number that looks like a siren song. Some brides prefer something a bit more unique. And if that’s you, you’re going to love the gowns from Laure de Sagazan. This was my first time … Continue reading

NYBFW A/W 2019: Ornate Brides on the Ines Di Santo RunwayI’ve said this countless times, but every bridal designer has a unique style that shines through every season—regardless of what trends they decide to adopt from season to season. And one thing that I really love about Ines Di Santo is how she’s able to … Continue reading

NYBFW A/W 2019: Streamlined Traditional Brides with WToo by WattersBy now you’ve realized that each of Watters’ three collections will clearly appeal to very different brides. As I mentioned previously, the core signature Watters collection is geared towards a traditional bride who loves a heavily embellished gown. Willowby by Watters is for the bride who’s … Continue reading

NYBFW A/W 2019: Boho Brides from Willowby by WattersNow in an earlier post I mentioned how the signature Watters collection always focuses on a more traditional bridal style. But their spinoff collections offer a different option for brides who want something that stands out from the crowd. Whereas Watters is traditional, Willowby by Watters can … Continue reading

NYBFW S/S ‘19: On-Trend & Timeless Styles with Gracy AccadEven though I’m only just starting my NYBFW coverage I can already call a trend.
