This is a story of a two month journey. I knew early on that my custom designed Mother of the Bride gown would be sleeveless. I also knew that the wedding pictures and video would last a lifetime. So it was time to get serious about getting into shape and looking my best. Time to get a trainer and shape up. This isn’t a weight loss story, it’s a lifestyle choice!

Don’t get scared when you see scissors next to this beautiful bridal gown. Today I am partnering with Watters to show you how you can customize one of their gorgeous designs into a stunning rehearsal dress. Chop, chop – click through to see the result!

It’s very rare that you will see me in statement jewelry. Think about it, when you read these blog posts you probably don’t notice the jewelry first. That’s because I stick to my daily investment pieces and only occasionally feature a jewelry brand. Last week I mentioned that I discovered a unique Italian jewelry brand while attending the JCK Events Las Vegas Jewelry Show. Let me introduce you to AMLE.
