Gather & Gown | Bridesmaid Dress for the Modern Woman

The wonderful founder, Michael Shettel

Last week I had the pleasure of working with the Gather & Gown team, they are new e-commerce bridal store. One of the first things I noticed about the collection was the quality of the gowns. I recently went though the wedding process and the quality of the dresses were really important to me. Having said that, quality always comes with a price tag. This is especially true in the bridal industry.  Gather & Gown offers quality dresses for under $200. When most pieces in the collection are marked at $99, you can feel good about asking your bridesmaid to meet you in Vegas for one last hurrah!

When I first met Michael Shettel , founder of Gather & Gown, he understood the modern bride. Brides don’t always have the luxury of living near her bridal party. These dresses are all available online to view, in different colors and styles. Not only does Gather & Gown offer free shipping and returns, they also provide three sizes for each bridesmaid. This really impressed me as a recent bride and frequent bridesmaid. We’ve all been in this situation. Go to the bridal boutique to get your measurements. Ten weeks later you receive your dress, only to find out it’s 3 sizes too big!  Your only option is to take it to a tailor and fork over additional money to have the fit you correctly. Gather & Gown is making this process more convenient and enjoyable!

For those brides-to-be who are on the lookout for bridesmaid dress, stay on the lookout for Gather & Gown. They’re schedule to launch January 2015! They’re changing the way brides buy bridesmaid dresses.

If you sign up for email with Gather & Gown by December 5th, you'll receive 30% off your first order! 

You can also find them on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to get a preview of other pieces in the upcoming collection. 

Thank you Gather & Gown for sponsoring this post!

It’s that time of year….Holiday work parties!   This is your time to shine. Some of us will be receiving awards, while others will be recognized for all their hard work in 2014.

Now, what to wear. We want to look professional, yet classy. This cream and black dress by Cynthia Steffe is perfect for the occasion. If you don’t want to wear all black, stripes are a good alternative. The a-line dress looks great with or without a blazer.  Although this is a sleeveless dress, it’s appropriate for an office party. If you decide to hit the dance floor and the party warms up, you don’t have to feel subconscious about taking off your blazer. For those women in the colder weather, throw on a pair of sheer black tights to keep you warm.  If you really want to add some glam to this outfit, add your favorite statement necklace. Perfect! You're ready for you party!

A few tips when attending holiday work parties. Follow the rule, “one glass of water for every cocktail”. You don’t want to leave the party early! Next, if you want to move up in the company, this is a great time to find your next position. Introduce yourself to a senior executive and make an impression. Tell that person you’re interested in growing your career. The New Year always brings on new opportunities at work.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. The cold winter days have finally arrived in New York. It's a cold and rainy Monday morning.  Days like this, I wish I had these rain boots to get me to the office. Till then, I wear these loafers to walk to work.
