Jenna Bush got married this weekend at the Bush family ranch in Crawford, Texas, and we're sure her new husband, Henry Hager, had no regrets as to his choice when he saw her walking down the aisle. Jenna was dressed in an Oscar de la Renta gown that we just loved -- it had a simple silhouette, but an intricate design with embroidered organza and matte beading from the very top to the end of her chapel-length train.
Not everyone looked so sharp, however -- check out the gallery to see what we loved and what we could've done without.
There's not much that adds punch to an outfit the way a metallic accessory does -- it's exciting, it's new, it's hot. It just makes us walk with a little more strut in our step. However, we will never completely bail on our good buddy brown. Brown has seen us through more trends than we care to remember, and it feels so comfy and safe.
Summertime around here means fun, fabulous parties. We love throwing impromptu get-togethers, but with Memorial Day and the Fourth of July coming up, not to mention weddings, bachelorette parties, baby showers, housewarmings, and more, we have the opportunity to plan ahead. And if we can plan ahead, you can bet your ass we're going to send out some seriously stylish invitations!
Some women just have a "natural beauty" vibe. They look fantastic with their hair messy and undone, and loose, flowing dresses only enhance their radiance. These women wear earthy colors and natural fibers, and they look spectacular.
However, that look doesn't work for everybody. For those of you who would prefer gold and diamonds to wooden bangles, there is still a way for you to pull of a more natural look while flaunting your own flair.
We love high heels. We love wearing high heels. We just don't always love walking in high heels. And, of course, we could always carry a pair of flip flops or origami emergency shoes around with us, sometimes that's just not feasible. What to do then? Suffer? We think not -- meet our new favorite shoe, CAMiLEON Heels!
We're dying to know who, upon seeing the new ads for the House of Dereon's clothing line for little girls, has any desire to buy these clothes for their daughters. Beyonce and her mother, Tina Knowles, are the brains behind the collection, so we suppose it's not a huge surprise that the inventors of bootyliciousness would come up with kids' clothes that are a little edgy, but these ads are just ... well, take a look through the gallery and decide for yourself!
To be fair, the clothing itself isn't all that bad. Not good, either, but not quite as "Go on, baby, and earn your lunch money the old fashioned way" as the ads make them appear. But seriously, who's going to want their daughter associated with the clothing in these ads? You know, besides Mrs. Knowles ...

As far as lingerie goes, your specific "needs" will be dependent upon your lifestyle. And we don't mean just your nightlife. If you wear a a lot of skirts and pants that show your pantylines, you need no-show panties. If your pants tend to be of the low-rise variety, you need some undies that will stay low, too. And, if you're an athlete, you need undergarments that stay in place during strenuous activity (you know, the kind of strenuous activity that requires you to keep your clothes on).
According to Divine Caroline, there are five things every woman needs to have in her lingerie drawer. Check out the gallery to see what they are, and be sure to let us know if you'd add anything to the list!
Have you been marking off the days on your calendar? We are getting closer to the SATC premiere, and here at StyleDash, we couldn't be more excited! We've been raiding our closets, trying on our most outrageous Carrie-riffic outfits, and, of course, shoe shopping in preparation for the Big Premiere.
What about you? What have you done to prepare? Have you submitted a question for the SATC fashion quiz? Do you have your outfit, shoes, and accessories picked out? Have you been watching reruns back to back to absorb every last delicious, fashionable drop of the series?
StyleList has a simpler question in their current poll: Are you excited about the Sex and the City movie? Head on over and cast your vote!
It's always fun to add a splash of color or an interesting pattern with your shoes, especially in the summer when your legs tend to be more bare. And, as we've mentioned before, we kind of love a preppy plaid. So what could be better than wearing a fun, bright plaid as a shoe?
Some girls are born with a delicate, slight build. Others go through life with shoulders like a linebacker. And, while broad shoulders can make shopping for tops, dresses, jackets, and bathing suits a little more frustrating, we want to take a moment to point out that strong shoulders are sexy. So, the first thing you need to do with those broad shoulders is hold them up and back. Good posture, regardless of figure flaws, is always flattering.
Now that you know that, we can discuss specific bathing suit styles. Take a look through the gallery for suggestions of what to look for and, just as importantly, what to avoid. Happy shopping!

Belts can do so much more than just help hold your pants up. They can bring colors and patterns to an outfit. They can create a waist in a dress or long shirt where there was previously shapelessness. They can take an ensemble from ho-hum to Hell, Yeah!
There is very little more frustrating than getting ready in the morning, running a little bit late, and then falling way behind schedule because you can't seem to get the clasp of your bracelet to catch.
That is Reason #1 we love cuffs. Aside from that, they're big, chunky, and substantial enough to be a real addition to your outfit.
Christini Ricci was once well-known for wearing black as creepy little Wednesday in the Addams Family Values movie. Well, she was back in black recently for the London premiere of her newest flick, Speed Racer, and she was just rocking it.
She pulled off the Jackie O-style dress with aplomb, looking every bit the lady, but looking a little sexy at the same time. This is such an achievable look, and appropriate for everything from lunch with the ladies to a cocktail party to a wedding -- here's how you can rock it like Christina.

We love the look of a soft, pretty headband. And, yes, we loved it even before Gossip Girl. Depending on the style of the headband, it can make your outfit more preppy, girly, or earthy. Today, we're leaning toward preppy.
Gallery: Accessories for Mom: Get her out of a style rut!
When we were wee little girls, our moms helped us define our sense of style. Sometimes they bought us that fabulous candy necklace we'd been eying at the dime store, once in a while they let us experiment with their makeup, and occasionally they let us pick out our own outfits for school and allowed us to leave the house wearing leg warmers, shorts, and a sweater because it was helping us figure out who we were.
Now is your chance to help Mom out. Is she in a style rut? Often, as women age, they find what works for them and just sort of stick with it. And while you might not be ready to take Mom out for a whole new wardrobe, you can help her update her look with some fab accessories -- click through the gallery for ideas.
