The Perfect Courthouse Wedding Outfit

Sometimes I daydream about galloping off into the courthouse and getting married in this outfit. I like everything about it, even the grandma sweater, because let's face it, I have poor circulation and I get cold easily, even in my daydreams.

AND can we talk about that bag?!? I want to wear it till every hand sewn sequin falls off. Of course, you probably already knew how I feel about sequins.

Real Gangsta Wedding: Oracle Fox

HOLY SMOKES! When I saw Mrs. Oracle Fox's wedding, I had to post it immediately. Mr. and Mrs. Oracle Foc got married in Bali in the fall. She has amazing style (as evidenced by her blog, obv).
I just can't get over that dress. It looks like mermaids crafted it from shells at the bottom of the sea.

Gangsta Cards Revoked: Ugly Wedding Dresses

With so many adorable dresses out there in the blogsphere, I thought it was my duty to share with you some of the more ooogly dresses out there, to, ya know, balance out the universe.

Reem Acra

So this one actually wouldn't be so bad without the bonnet and cape and intense makeup. But didn't some crazy bitch like Rachel Zoe say that styling is everything? She was absolutely right. I kind of hate saying that, but sometimes the craziest ones speak the most truth.

The hat and skirt are obviously ridiculous. I keep waiting for a bunch of little kids to come screaming out from under her skirt like in those games we played in elementary school with the huge parachutes. Actually, I think it would be kinda cool in a scaled back kind of way.

Vera Wang

I know, right? The woman who can do no wrong has managed to f this one up. Seriously, though. I've never seen such an expensive dress look so cheap.

Jenny Packham

The dress looks like those ugly lamps that southern housewives buy from Marshalls. If homegirl can't make it work, then no one can. Sorry, Jenny Packham, your gangsta card has been revoked.

They actually managed to put everything I hate in a dress in one dress! That's why I saved it for last. The huge skirt, the slutty corset.. I already know that someone who picks this dress and I are not going to get along. Call me judgmental.

Something Electric Blue

I was seriously out of my chair, when K at Blog Goggles showed me Natalie Hormilla's (ex-editor of Fashionista.com) electric-blue wedding dress. It was made by Karolina Zmarlak, and inspired by Lanvin, Spring 08.

This dress is fire!

Stylin': Golden Globes wedding inspiration

I watched the golden globes last night (only for the dresses, let's be real). Here are my top 3 fly wedding dresses.

1. Olivia Wilde in Reem Acra

She looks like a b*tch in that dress, and by b*tch I mean friggin' beautiful.

2. Eva Mendes in Dior

How do say bling bling in French?

3. Kate Beckinsale in J. Mendel

The neckline makes her dress a total b*tch.
