As I have said before in the past, no designer is more in touch with wedding wear than Vera Wang, even if you aren’t the bride.

A few days ago, I wrote about Gilt, an online designer sample sales site. Now when you you click on the link it will automatically send you an invite. And you should act fast, because there is an amazing Oscar de la Renta sample sale going on right now.
This grosgrain dress coat solves the problem of how to stay warm in formal wear gorgeously, and is marked down to $1, 598 from $6,590 on Gilt. Pricey, but a worthwhile lifetime investment, since it will never go out of style.
