Filene’s Basement Running of the Brides Charges Through Hynes Convention Center on Feb. 19

Running Brides By Kirsten 79, Flickr

On Friday, February 19 at 8:00 a.m., brides-to-be will gather their girltourages and elbow their way to marked down wedding dress glory at  the Filene’s Basement “Running of the Brides.” This year, the stampede will take place at Hynes Convention Center, where famous designer gowns will be on sale for $249, $499 and $699 respectively.

Excited brides should be careful not to get caught up in the moment, as dresses are not returnable. Apparently Filene’s Basement only sells wedding dresses during this annual event, and not throughout the year. While the morning run may be better targeted to more adventurous brides, Filene’s notes that the morning frenzy has moved out by by 10:00 a.m.

Hynes Convention Center is located at 900 Boylston Street in Boston’s Back Bay. For more information about the event, please visit: http://www.filenesbasement.com/bridal.php

Lust: Glenda Cuff by Charm & Chain

Glenda Cuff by Erickson Beamon

I’m a girl that appreciates bling without having to shell out serious dough for it.  I recently saw this gorgeous, sparkly cuff in a DailyCandy email.  I want it, I need it, I simply have to own it…..but it’s $475.  Well, it’s actually closer to $357 with a 25% discount from DailyCandy.  Though too rich for my taste, a girl can dream that an affordable knockoff exists somewhere in cyberspace, right?

Anyone Else Scarf Obsessed? Here's Cute Sale One From Nordstrom

I’ll come clean – I have a LOT of scarves.  My scarf collection runs the gamut from gorgeous silk scarves to dress up formal workwear, to oversized warm winter scarves, and dozens of cozy pashminas in most colors of the rainbow.  Scarves are the perfect way to perk up a simple sweater, cardigan, or t-shirt, and can add a touch of color to a neutral outfit.

Here’s a cute scarf – on sale for $31.90 – at Nordstrom.com that caught my eye in my most recent Shop It To Me email.  I’m thinking that I might need to buy this one, do you agree?
