But there was something in the air at last night's gala (maybe blame the punk theme?)... and for as many A-listers who stunned for all the right reasons, there were just as many committing major faux pas (specifically in the hair and makeup department). So today we re-cap the best and the worst from the 2013 Met Ball, so you can...

The Best of NY Bridal Markets, Spring / Summer 2014
If you just happen to be wondering what I'm seeing that's good out at market this year--here's where my eyeballs landed. For me, there's one word to describe spring/summer 2014: 'easy going'. Designers are finally getting away from dresses that have everything including the kitchen sink thrown in--ruffles, lacey boned bodices with more ruffles and huge trains following. I'm looking at 2014 and seeing dresses by Vera Wang, Carolina Hererra and Romona Keveza that seem organic--as if...

5 Things NOT To Forget In The Throes of Wedding Planning
Source: Style Me Pretty Here's what no one tells you when you're piecing together your dream wedding, years in advance of meeting anyone who even remotely qualifies as husband material: wedding planning is intense. It could very well be one of the most stressful periods in your entire life. No one's going to mention that when you finally get engaged either. (People don't like saying that kind of thing to the bizarrely happy, I suppose.) If you find yourself dealing with a...

Spring 2014 Bridal: Smoldering Sensuality from Reem Acra
Where do I even begin with Reem Acra's drop dead gorgeous Spring 2014 bridal collection... I sat front row at the runway show (rubbing elbows with Preston Bailey, Randy Fenoli, Sylvia Weinstock, and many more), and had SYPhotography there to capture it all! Doing market as a bride-to-be was definitely a tease, and no designer gave me that loving feeling quite like Reem Acra did. The theme for this collection was "Thank you for your love" and beyond the beautiful dresses, the...

Le Papier Studio Jewelry
Le Papier Studio is known for their beautiful silhouette jewelry, which of course make great gifts for new mom's, or really ANY moms (Mother's Day coming up alert!!). But I think the family tree series would also make a really great bridesmaids or flower gift gift. Especially the bracelet, if you include everyone in the bridal parties silhouettes, what a wonderful memento of the day that could be!
