All three must match one another with unerring precision, as they are going to be worn on the biggest day of your life thus far!

Are you planning a Summer wedding? Or maybe you have been asked to be a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding, or you have been invited to a wedding. For any of these you will undoubtedly be shopping for your outfit for the day and selecting the shoes to go with the outfit will be a priority. For a Summer wedding high heel wedding sandals can the perfect idea to complement a beautiful wedding or bridesmaid's dress or your new outfit. So how do you select from the various designs and colours available?

You will want to think about how high the heels are. If you will be the bride consider how often and for how long you will be standing throughout the day, first for the vows (if the wedding is in church this will be quite some time), followed by a lot of standing for the photographs which could be a very long time. You will be standing greeting all of your guests as they arrive, and then chatting to groups of relatives and friends. If you're lucky you'll get to sit down for a meal, in the evening you will probably be dancing, starting with with your new husband, after that of course each of the male guests will be waiting to dance with you. After all this you will have stood for many hours, therefore a comfy pair of wedding sandals is crucial to your pleasure in the day - you wouldn't like your most insistent recollection of the day to be of painful feet.

Of course, you are looking for a lovely pair of Silver Wedding Sandals to set off the gorgeous wedding dress you have bought, but do make sure that they are comfy and not too high to wear throughout the day. A middle height heel would be better to wear all day and a lot more comfortable. You should also consider the venue for the reception and also where you are planning to have the photographs taken. In the Summer you will probably have an outdoor reception and the photographs will probably be taken on a lawn or in a garden. Accordingly you will need shoes you can walk around in easily on a lawn, it's not very elegant to be sinking into the ground with every step. Lower, wider heels won't be quite as stunning as spindly stiletto heels but they will be a great deal easier to wear for standing all day.

The overall effect is definitely worth the extra coin: Your romantic friends will love it, and the cynics of the bunch will never stop retching.

Going grey already, Katie? Couric wigs out on new talk show as she dons salt and pepper hairpiece

She's only 55 but Katie Couric is already going grey. 
For her new talk show, that is.

The chat show host, known for her sleek honey blonde bob, aged herself quite a few years when she stepped out in a layered salt and pepper hairpiece sweeping her shoulders.

She told viewers: 'More and more women these days are going gray and I decided I wanted to know what it felt like, at least on a temporary basis.'

 

Katie started out by shocking colleagues at the New York offices for her new ABC show, and was then followed by cameras as she hit the streets to ask strangers what they thought about her 'new look'.

She was later joined by fellow talk show host Wendy Williams, who shared her own wig collection - including one named after the editor-at-large of O, The Oprah Magazine, Gayle King - which Wendy wears to the gym.

She explained: 'For the most part, I always wear a wig. They’re part of me. I wear one when I go to the gym...

'When I'm inspired by somebody else, like you saw in that (video) Poppy Montgomery inspired me to be red.  And my "Gale King" wig is the one that I wear to the gym.'

She went on to showcase an array of hairpieces selected with the help of her personal 'wig-ologist', Antoine, but admitted she is very protective over her collection.

Wendy explained: 'Only because you know what? I make a lot of jokes about my wigs, and I pull notes out of them on my show, and everybody knows that I wear wigs.'

'Women just want to have options,' she said.

'So, extensions are a really great way to change your look or try something new without the major commitment... they are an accessory.

'You can really change your personality by trying these hairpieces.'

How to Find the Right Online Bridal Jewelry Shop

It is not strange that women love jewelry. It is in their common nature to just fall in love with them. For those who are searching for their own bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelry gifts, online shopping are a great solution since these shops mostly offer a wide variety of choices at a more affordable price. There are a lot of advantages to purchasing jewelry on the internet because most of the prices are more affordable and they are more convenient.

Consumers do not need to allocate a transportation and food budget while in search for the right jewelry since they can do it in the comforts of their own home or anywhere an internet connection is present. However, you should still be careful to choosing your shop online since there are still a lot of bogus stores that may just be literally after your money.

1. Choose from a reputable jeweler. There are really a lot of stores offering jewelry. When it comes to online shops, see if it can be trusted. Do remember that you are giving personal information about yourself and your credit card information. Make sure that the website has a 128bit SSL security so no unauthorized party can get through your personal information.

It is also necessary that your jewelry shop is known for its long service. Make sure that they have been doing service customers for a long time and that these customers have been satisfied with their products and services. Also, a reputable jeweler has a long line of bridal jewelry to display and show their customers so that their clients will have more choices.

2. They should also provide a great customer service. Before you even buy your bridesmaid jewelry gifts and bridal jewelry, you will also have to contact them. You can contact them through their customer service through email or by phone. When talking to a customer service, ask questions regarding some of your concerns and pay close attention to the response you will receive. If the customer rep seems agitated with your questions or spends the entire conversation rushing you to purchase from them, then consider finding another site. When you email them, you should at least expect a response from them within 24 hours or 48 hours during business week.

3. Look for their return policy. The most common with online shopping is that you will not be able to see the actual purchase until they have delivered the products to you. Review their return policy so that you will know your rights with the wedding jewelry especially if there is something wrong with the items.
