Wedding Blog
Well, it seems the Shoe Gods were listening to my cries. Like Miss Hydrangea, I am a HUGE fan of the Gilt Groupe sales. Yesterday marked the beginning of one of their biggest sales of the year including over 25 of the featured designers from previous sales this year. They offered up to 90% off of the clothing, jewelry handbags and - you guessed it - shoes!!
Ceremony Shoes!
KORS Allie Espadrilles
Original Price $237
Gilt Final Sale Price $39
As soon as I saw them, I knew they were a must-buy - Ceremony Shoes or not. The KORS platform espadrilles paired with the black and white striped criss cross ankle wraps paid an excellent homage to my wedding decor. My wedding shoe collection can now be called “Black and White Striped Shoes, Two Ways.” I’m starting to wonder if they might be too casual for my wedding dress - but at the same time, it’s just to get me up and down that hill! Of course, I couldn’t pass on checking out the other goodies they had available on deep discounts. I spotted a few dresses, but few were in my size. At some point, one must ask themselves, “Am I buying this just because it’s cheap, or because I love it and can’t live without it?”
Party Dress!
Notte by Marchesa Silk Puff Sleeve Dress
Original Price $615
Gilt Final Sale Price $98
Uhm, I think I love it and I can’t live without it! I love the little flare at the hem of the dress as well as the tiny black rhinestones that are scattered on the puff sleeves to add that little touch of sparkle. I can’t decide if I should wear it to a Bridal Shower, Bachelorette Party or Rehearsal Dinner - what do you think?

Bachlorette. Understated and hot. Plus think of the shoes you can pair with it!
Those are great shoes and such a cute dress! I think the dress would work great for any of those occasions. See what other outfits you come up with. Maybe you find a more casual summery dress - then I would use that as a shower dress.
How do you gain access to the Gilt Group sales?!!
Wow, what a sale! I’d love to be able to get in on this Gilt goodness.
GREAT shoes! can you help me become a member so i can find shoes too?
Miss Pom,
Those are some awesome deals!! Would love if you can give us some info on becoming a member to Gilt.
Thanks!
Oh sure! I’d be glad to invite you guys - just post your requests here and I’ll send you one.
How did you get an invite? If you have any to hand out I’ve been trying to track on down for a while. (I know - shameless.)
The shoes are super cute 
Me too! Thanks!!
I would also love to become a member, if you can hook that up!
Please add me to the Gilt list! shannanb @ hotmail.com
I love the shoes and plan on wearing something similar with my dress.
The dress - I can’t decide where it would fit best b/c it is hot my brain says bachelorette but on the otherhand it is sophisticated so I say rehersal… Sorry I am of no help there.

I know you already have a million request, but I can’t resist. Me too pleeeease!
angeldesire24@hotmail.com
Thanks!
wow pommie, if you had a dine for every request your wedding would be paid for! lol
ehh that would be dime, though, if it’s a meal per request, that would at least cover catering cost!
Oh oh oh, please invite me!!! My email is dimplez78@hotmail.com. This website rocks! And I love the little black dress you posted.
omg, could someone, anyone, invite me to the Gilt Group as well? ejwang@gmail.com

I would love if you would send me an invite thanks
Love the dress and the shoes! I think you should wear the dress to the bachelorette party. It’s so cute and fun!
Anyway, I’m tempted to ask for an invite to gilt too but I don’t really see in your post that you were offering that. I know that everyone else has also made requests so it may be too late. I guess if it isn’t, I’d love an invite as well. I don’t want to post my e-mail address publically, however. I’d really appreciate it if you could PM me to get it if that’s what you need. Thanks Miss Pom!

About Me: Hi, I'm Miss Pomegranate and I'm a shopaholic. I have a weak spot for the chic cheap - especially anything I can re-create on the DIY. Shoes are my vice, music is my passion in life and technology is the medium by which I live and work. When I'm not scoping out a sale, I'm spending my quality time training for a marathon, playing Wii with my fiance and snuggling with my Silver Labrador and Teacup Panther - and oh yeah, planning my wedding!
