FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Right Not To Bare Arms.

It seems like every wedding dress I see is sleeveless, if not strapless, so what about people who don't like the look of bare arms but don't want to wear a matronly, long-sleeved dress? I really like the one above as a sleeved option. It's demure yet really fun at the same time which is a hard needle to thread.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Guys Buys
Dress coats are generally expensive. It's never fun to buy them, because you want something that looks like you spent the money, but you don't want to ACTUALLY spend the money.

COMFY COQUETTE: Vintage Vixen by Simply Vera Wang

I love vintage-style lingerie, and this bra + tap pants set from Simply Vera Wang is divine. Go sweet and modern in grey/lavender or vamp it up in fuschia/black. Even better: buy one piece and get the second half off!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: The Softest Sweater
My sisters and I have forever disagreed about how a sweater should feel. As a warmth junkie (see my previous posting today), I love itchy sweaters because they are the warmest! And they usually have some fairisle-type pattern that I also love.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: The Case Of The Sheer Sweater
The very idea of a sheer, almost see-through sweater is an oxymoron. Sweaters are supposed to keep you warm, right? Then why would you want one that's sheer?

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - Gucci
I am always hesitant to post Gucci handbags or wallets because 1) I'm not THAT crazy about the iconic Gucci pattern and, 2) it's way way way too easy to knock off. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of designer stuff that screams I'M DESIGNER! (unless it's a pair of sunglasses, but that is another post for another day...)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: The Cowl(ardly) Neck
A lot of my work dresses are from the Gap. On the days where I don't have to wear a suit, my winter uniform is basically tights, boots and a cute, work-appropriate dress.

FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Cheap Drama.
How long do you want your veil to be? If you want it to reach all the way down the aisle of St. Paul's Cathedral (I'm looking at you, future Princess Kate) then you're looking at a "cathedral length" veil.However, all that length can add hundreds of dollars on to your veil price. Consider the above veil from Teri Huang on Etsy. It's a two-tiered cathedral-length veil similar to Chelsea Clinton's veil and will cost you a fraction of the price of a similar veil bought in a bridal shop.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Join The Military (Boot)
All knee high lace-up boots are not created equal. These absolutely rise above the rest. The slightly up-tipped boot toes are the teensy tiny feminine detail that makes more chic than, well...meant for marching.
