Marchesa Bridal

My favorite couture brand, Marchesa, makes the most beautiful dresses. Stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Heidi Klum, Eva Longoria, Penelope Cruz and countless others have graced the brand's stunning dresses on the red carpet.

I got on to the Marchesa website last weekend and was excited to see that they now have a bridal collection. Now I could never afford one of their gorgeous gowns, but it's still fun to dream, right?

Here were some of my favorites:

To do list...

#1 Dress more like a French woman...

So I know summer is over, but...

I couldn't resist a deal like this! At jcrew.com, I bought this adorable swimsuit--originally $88--on sale for only $20! They have many more different styles and colors for super cheap.

Just thought I would share with you all... Jump before they're all gone!

Anthro

My jaw dropped to the floor when I got Anthropologie's catalogue in the mail the other day. In this particular one, they tooks photos of real people, rather than models, from around the globe. The photos are stunning and I love the backdrops of all the different places. (Not to mention the beautiful clothes!)

Here are a few of my favorites:

Natural Beauty

What got me about this photo from the Satorialist is not the outfit this woman is wearing, but her beauty! Talk about gorgeous hair and flawless skin!

I'm not crazy about the dress, but I think she makes it look pretty good.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to pull-off anything?

Suit yourself

Can you believe its halfway through July and I haven't even bought a swimsuit yet?! I'm going to need one when I go to California in a couple of weeks, but I just can't decide which of these super cute J. Crew suits to buy.

Which one do you like?

Wedding Dress

I opened this month's J. Crew catalogue, and my jaw dropped when I turned to this page.

Isn't this dress gorgeous?!

Marchesa

Ok, I am obsessed with Marchesa's beautiful evening gowns. There's always something unique, exotic, and glamourous about each dress that designers Georgina and Keren create that makes me weak in the knees. I can instantly spot a Marchesa on celebrities that wear them to red carpet events.

Although I would never have a place to wear one of their gowns to (not to mention the money to buy one!), I love look to them for inspiration. Maybe one day I'll recreate one as a wedding dress...

Here are some of my favorites (you'll probably recognize a few of them):
