It seems the owner of the Blushing Bride forgot to pay her taxes. The store declared bankrupcty and closed unexpectedly on Tuesday, without providing any of the dresses that were bought and paid for by brides. Terrible! Those poor brides.

Sorry about missing so many posts! My sister has been in town and we have been shopping for her wedding dress. She is engaged to my husband's best friend, and they are getting married in January! I am so excited. Anyway, we went to a lot of great bridal shops and salons in the Milwaukee area, but she ended up picking a dress at David's Bridal. It is the Galina Style VW8893. It is really beautiful on her, and I am so happy! And that means we get to wear halter-style bridesmaid dresses. Yes!

I have been on a black and white kick lately. Mostly because most of the fashion world is pushing it, but also because the Fall clothes this year are so very nice. Here are two tops that I bought recently at the new Forever 21 in Milwaukee!

The discount superstore giant has decided to get rid of their layaway system for good starting on November 19th, with all layway merchandise payment/pick-up transactions to be completed by the end of December. I don't know what their plan is, but that seems kind of a bad time of year to do this, since most people use layaway for Christmas gifts. Now, this sounds to me like something that might potentially alienate a lot of regular Walmart customers and cause a lot of kids to have crappy Christmases, But what do I know? I am just a lowly blogger, after all.

Now in place of the layaway system, Walmart is proposing a system of (of course) credit cards. Apparently these will be store specific cards, like you get when you by furniture. They are proposing to have 0% interest periods of 6 to 12 months to help shoppers pay for all their stuff. I thought layaway was to help people out who didn't have or couldn't get credit cards in the first place?
