Butter by Nadia dresses at MISHA NICOLE

So what have I been up to this summer? I know, I know...I haven't been blogging, but that's because I've been working a summer internship at a new NYC retail concept store called MISHA NICOLE.

MISHA NICOLE carries a ton of interesting merchandise, one of which is the Signature Satin Wrap Dress from Butter by Nadia. The ultimate one-size-flatters-all dress allows your bridesmaids to individualize their gowns by wrapping any way they want. Check them out over at MISHA NICOLE's blog!

Vera Wang Bridesmaid Dresses for David's Bridal

Just a few months after launching her White wedding dress collection for David's Bridal, Vera Wang is teaming up with the retailer again to create a 7-piece line of bridesmaid dresses. Only one image has been released so far, but I'm getting pretty excited! Sophisticated, modern, and visually interesting (defined: not a snooze!), these Vera Wang designs will look awesome walking down the aisle with a price point of $158 - 200. It's a little pricier than I would like, but so far, I think it just might be worth it!

I just hope maids still take on the supporting role though - the bride should be the center of attention!
