OK, so brides choosing a gown that isn’t white for their big day isn’t all that new.  It is quite a shocker, however, that a major dress designer like Vera Wang would make her latest bridal collection entirely black and blush!  Wang has said that after designing for the likes of Kim Kardashian last summer [...]

The old expression goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”  The same might go for fashion, no?  If a store works for you, why not shop there (and often)?
