Thursday Trends | Black & White Wedding Trend | Kim Kardashian Wedding

Kim Kardashian, and her NBA hubby Kris Humphries recently tied the knot in Montecito, California. The two had a white and black wedding theme, that was incorporated in all the wedding details and decor. With the bridesmaids dressed in all white, seen before by Pippa Middleton, Kim's glamorous and chic fairytale wedding is quickly being compared to that of the Royal Wedding. I love her "princess" Vera Wang wedding dress and the elegant black and white cake. What do you think? Is black and white a color trend for you? How do you feel about bridesmaids wearing all white? I'm not sure if it takes too much away from the bride. Do you feel now a days there are a lot of situations that are taking away the attention from the bride and groom? For example, the white dress attire being worn by guests and now bridesmaids, other family members requesting their own solo dances with the bride and groom, and even having others help with the cutting of the cake?! What do you guys think, is it a free for all now? Is there nothing left that is sacred and special just for the bride and groom???

Our comprehensive shopping guide is updated weekly with limited-time discounts, deals and stylish events at the Twin Cities' hippest shopping destinations, is the go-to guide for any local fashionista.



FASHION EVENTS FOR WEEK OF AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5:



Friday: Cliché's "Crosswalk"

What:
Why did the model cross the road? To show of her latest fall look, of course! That's the idea behind Cliché's semi-annual fashion show "Crosswalk," where the runway is the streets of Uptown Minneapolis. This time around, fall lines by local designers Jenny Carle, Sarah M. Holm, and Rachel Blomgren will exit the store and take a stroll at the intersection of 24th Street and Lyndale Avenue. Don’t be fashionably late - the show starts promptly at 7:15 p.m. Stick around afterward for music from DJs Cardigan (AKA Cliché co-owner Josh Sundberg) and Ben Grimes and a 20 percent off storewide discount. -Jahna Peloquin (Photo: Cody Lidtke)

When: 7-9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2.

Where: Cliché, 2303 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, 612-870-0420, www.clichempls.com
