A Two-Shoe Bride Part II

July 3rd, 2008 @ 1:46 pm by Miss Pomegranate

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!

cute dress! how do you become a member of Gilt?

tuttni01 says:

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?!!

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!
