Scroll through AZAZIE's boutique of endless options, and you will see what I mean! 

Impeccable attention to detail!

The saying "You never get a second chance to make a first impression," came to my mind with I opened my package from AZAZIE! The first impression knocked my socks off! My dress arrived in a beautiful black & white garment bag, reminiscent of a Chanel box I have coveted in my closet for years. When I zipped open the bag, there was the dress with its gorgeous red color and impeccable attention to detail. It was then that I knew I had stumbled upon a one-of-a-kind (literally) posh bridal shop. 

AZAZIE's Kathryn Dress in Burgundy

I chose AZAZIE's Kathryn dress in burgundy (a deep shade of red) for my review for a few reasons. I was attracted to its classic silhouette and light-flowing chiffon fabric. I've also found chiffon to be forgiving with most spots/stains when treated with a little cold water and blotting with a towel. This is important when you have a teenage daughter who wears the same size you do! {smile} I also thought it was the perfect color and style dress to wear to holiday parties. 

The dress features a sweetheart neckline, zip-up back, and a cute hand-worked flower detail. I love how it fits my shape, hugging only figure-flattering areas of my body.

I love the handworked flower! It adds a sweet and feminine touch to the dress!

Couture At Your Door!

Disclosure: I received a dress from Lending Luxury for review purposes only.  All opinions are 100% my own.

Over the weekend, the Greater Cleveland YMCA celebrated their 160th anniversary with a gala at The Westin in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It was a wonderful evening thanks to the great group of people from Parker Hannifin, the outstanding entertainment by Band X, and my fabulous dress from Lending Luxury!

As the date of the gala was quickly approaching, I found myself running out of time to go shopping for a dress and, as luck would have it, Lending Luxury and I happened to cross paths. Lending Luxury is an online fashion store, with the most exquisite couture dresses available to rent. These are not your everyday dresses, however, they are the crème de la crème of dresses! You know, the designer labels that celebrities wear on the red carpet. Many of the dresses on Lending Luxury's site retail for well over $1,000!  And the best part is, it will cost you nowhere near that to rent one!

Anjolee Is A True Gem!

Marilyn Monroe may have made diamonds “a girl’s best friend," but Anjolee has made them an art.

If you are looking for an engagement ring, wedding ring or an extra special piece of jewelry, I have discovered an AMAZING company that creates GORGEOUS custom-made jewelry. I am thrilled to introduce you to Anjolee. From the quality of service to the quality of their jewelry, I could not be more impressed with Anjolee.  

I was given the wonderful opportunity to review one of Anjolee's bridal sets. Below is their Diamond Enchantment Bridal Set (MS132). Isn't it stunning? It is available in a glistening gold or polished platinum and your choice of diamond size.

Remember I mentioned that Anjolee's rings are custom made? Well, here is an example of how I created my very own custom ring (see below). Since a genuine diamond bridal set would be too costly for review purposes, I chose the Diamond Enchantment set above in silver (not platinum) with CZ diamonds and a Garnet stone for the center. I LOVE it and it was custom made just for me! 

My custom ring arrived in a beautiful wooden box!

Isn't my ring stunning?

This post is brought to you by Target, but all opinions and content are my own. Follow along with #TargetWedding on Twitter and discover how to "Be Yourself, Together".

Get inspired with Target's Wedding Registry! When looking for the perfect wedding gift, I like to take traditional gifts from the couple's wedding registry, and make them unforgettable. Sure. Gifting towels is very nice, but it isn't very creative or memorable. Have fun and use your imagination! As you can see below, I've taken the gift of beautiful bath towels to a whole new level with a towel warmer. Oooooh. The new bride and groom will enjoy wrapping themselves in warmth when they step out of the shower. Sooooo comfy! And best of all, they will both enjoy it!
