Talk about a match made in heaven! Banana Republic has joined forces with Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant to create a stylish capsule collection inspired by the hit show. The collection, which features clothing and accessories for both men and women, hits stores on August 11th. Wouldn’t this dashing duo (pictured left) make a chic Best Man and Maid of Honour? What about throwing a Mad Men-inspired wedding, complete with stylish outfits, traditional cocktails and vintage props? Ms. Bryant herself was actually in Toronto this past winter, and I was able to ask her what her dream wedding dress would look like. Click here to find out what she said!

Pretty Pearls

How gorgeous is this ? This piece has a luxe, vintage feel and looks like it might carry a fairly hefty pricetag, but it’s acutally a steal—on sale right now at Banana Republic for $86! It is such a great statement piece and would look amazing with a sleek sheath-style gown in satin, lace or sequins; then post wedding day you could definitely wear it again with a LBD or even a t-shirt and boyfriend blazer. With Banana Republic now offering online shopping to Canadian customers, you can have this gem on your doorstep in as little as two days, without having to leave the house. Isn’t time saving shopping what every busy bride-to-be needs?!

Would it be inappropriate if they paid for the outfits themselves, or should I pay for them? The same goes for hair and make-up, if they decide to get it done professionally.
