Legwear is Back: 40% off Entire Purchase for Budget Bride Readers

Happy Tuesday Morning Budget Brides!!!

So it seems like this week will feature two posts a day. Aren't you excited??? I am!!

Ok so there's this brand called Sculptz who has created amazing shape and legwear that does wonders for a girl's body. Great for everyday wear or special occasions this shapewear/legwear gives great coverage and creates amazing lines. Trust me I was never a fan of shapewear or girdles but after wearing Scupltz I am a changed woman. I really saw the difference in how my clothes look once I put the shapewear on. I have love handles but with this shapewear my love handles were gone.

The readers of The Budget Brides Handbook will receive 40% off their entire purchase as well as FREE SHIPPING when you enter B919 at checkout. Discount ends Thursday, April 15th. Click here to start shopping.

Lucky Magazine + HSN = Great Deals for Brides

Happy Thursday Budget Brides!!

Lucky Magazine & HSN has joined forces to bring us amazing designers at prices that our pocketbook can handle. Every year Lucky hosts an event called Lucky Shops (a three-day affair where more than 80 designers offer up to 70% off clothes and accessories) where budget fashionistas like yourselves have the oppoortunity to save big on top designers. To my excitement they have taken this event a step farther and partnered with HSN and 7 top designers to bring you amazing items at amazing prices. I have highlighted two designers, Shoshanna and Tracy Reese, whose collections can be transformed to great bridesmaid dresses.

A Little About Shoshanna

"Shoshanna Gruss is famous for her come-hither frocks and flattering cuts, but as a native New Yorker, she also knows the value of practicality. For this line, Gruss stayed true to her trademarks: seamless prints, versatile fabrics, and of course "getting the waistbands just right to carve out hourglass shapes on everyone.""

This beautiful Shoshanna scoop-neck princess dress is a perfect fit as a cocktail dress for a daytime or garden theme wedding. This dress is being offered at an amazingly low price of $64.90 in 3 fabulous colors including black, fuschia (shown above) and purple.

See Shoshanna's entire collection for Lucky Mag. & HSN

A Little Bit About Tracy Resse

This former designer for Perry Ellis and Magaschoni, Tracy Resse is known for her bold colors, prints and textures which bring sensibilty to her clothes. Resse says this dress is sexy, goddessy and artfully draped. It is definitely not your average special occassion dress.

Elegant and classic this Tracy Reese Draped-Bodice Jeresy dress is prefect for a late afternoon wedding. This dress is also being offered at an amazingly low price of $89.90 and is available in 4 colors including black (shown below), magneta (shown above), animal spot and teal.
