Brides, Download This: Vera Wang’s New Wedding Planner App

Feb 21, 2012 @ 5:35 pm

Vera Wang is an all-around go-to for everything bridal—apps included! The designer just launched Vera Wang on Weddings, a new wedding planner-inspired app that features a calendar, guest list manager, vendor organizer, inspiration boards, and more so that you can keep your plans for your big day fully functional (without tipping to scary overwhelming). “I would like a bride to take this app as a suggestion, as encouragement to find out who she really wants to be and how she wants to get married,” Wang said. Download it now on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch—it’s free until March 1st, then it’s $10 to buy.

Runway Looks We Love: Vera Wang

Feb 15, 2012 @ 12:00 pm

Vera Wang’s fall 2012 collection focused on opposites, and the duality of gray. She described the color as: “At once industrial and poetic: hard as steel, dove-soft,” which resulted in a mostly neutral color palette featuring different gradations of the hue as well as energizing jolts of tangerine, the color of 2012. As for the clothes, the silhouette looked long and lean, with a mix of architectural elements, like peplum and intricate folds, while chunky platform pumps and boots in nude or black finished off each look. See our favorite styles in the gallery.

Vera Wang Named a Pair of Shoes “Pippa”

Dec 5, 2011 @ 2:15 pm

You’ll find lots of fun things if you spend a few minutes randomly searching through Zappos. This style is one of our recent finds, a pair of espadrille 5-and-half-inch wedges with leather straps from Vera Wang Lavender. Interestingly enough, the designer named this style “Pippa.” Could her inspiration have been royal? With the neutral color options—a favorite of the party planner—they just might be! Find the style in black or “camello” for $198 at zappos.com.

Plus, see 100+ Pippa outfits in the gallery!
