I miss Linda Wells's Allure magazine and loved this article about her day working at Sephora.  I've had some serious wanderlust lately and am dreaming about trips to Africa, India, and Singapore. 
These wedding gowns by Naeem Khan are truly works of art.  I'm SUPER late to the party but I am obsessed with Lip Sync Battles. Of course Channing Tatum/Beyonce was hilarious and amazing, but I'm loving Melissa McCarthy and Jimmy Fallon. 
Style Me Pretty predicts celebrity wedding gowns. Love! Seriously tempted to splurge on these babies for upcoming weddings and events. I hear the best things about their shoes! We're so excited to stay in our apartment one more year, but that means we seriously need to add storage in the kitchen. I'm planning on Ikea hacking some open shelving and bookmarked inspiration here, here, and here. 

wed / shoes for the bride

I am 99% sure I've settled on my wedding gown (!!!) and now I'm really excited to start looking for accessories like veils, jewelry, and of course, shoes! I've had my eye on these Kate Spades for awhile, but of course I want to see them with my dress.

I've started looking around and there are great options that are very "bridal":

...and there are awesome options for something a little more clean, but definitely more re-wearable...

...I'm thinking something ivory or nude or gold. Anything I've missed? Any suggestions?
