The thought of spending thousands on a single dress (let alone on one so specific and extravagant you'll really only get to wear it once) makes your head hurt more than a Champagne hangover. After all, you're getting married - not planning your personal financial ruin - so, you'd rather spend the day in a simple, casual, white number that you'll be able to wear again and again.

Sure, for a $100, you're not going to get the mile-long train, the hand-embellished breadcrumb catcher, or duchess silk spun by fairy unicorn worms…but you weren't that kind of bride in the first place now, were you? For your courtroom date, your backyard ceremony, or your quick trip to the chapel, these dresses will serve you just fine through the service and beyond (and give you a little more cash padding where it real counts - your honeymoon, of course!).

Véronique Hyland's One-of-a-Kind WingtipsThere's a reason I'm a writer, not a designer. Even though I spend most of my day analyzing clothes, I wouldn't know the first thing about sketching something on my own. But when I met with Jodie Fox, the founder of customization site, Shoes of Prey, she challenged me to tap into my right-brained side and design a pair. I knew I wanted a comfy flat, something I could wear with summer dresses, so I decided to go the dressy oxford route. As you can see, I chose a wallpaper-like print for the upper half, and a poppy pinkish red for the wingtip's toe cap. (If I were an actual designer, I'd probably add something pretentious about "masculine meeting feminine.") The finished pair, which set me back $129, recently arrived in the mail and I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with my handiwork. I don't think I'll be quitting my day job anytime soon, but I'm always open to offers. Your move, Seventh Avenue! Design your own handmade, custom kicks at shoesofprey.com.

The Jockey Fit Kit is a two step process that can be done at home to help you find your best bra fit. The bra has been around for over a century and we still can't find one that fits. It's been estimated that as many as 85 percent of women in the U.S. wear the wrong size for their frame. If you've ever found your bra strap hanging down by your elbow, you're familiar with this fact. It's not only slightly embarrassing in a high-powered meeting, a poorly-fitted bra can cause sagging, neck and back pain. You'd think by now we'd have a better solution, aside from paying a custom fitter upwards of $400 to fix the problem.

"The entire bra purchase process is flawed," Dustin Cohn, Chief Marketing Officer for Jockey International tells Yahoo Shine. "Women are asked to measure their breasts with a tape measure. A woman's breasts are three dimensional, so it doesn't make sense to measure them with a two dimensional method. This changes the way bras support a bigger, bustier woman."

Jockey, the brand once known best for making men's sporty underwear, is

Saturday, June 1 would be Marilyn Monroe's 87th birthday, and in honor of the occasion we are taking a closer look at her fabulous swimsuit style.
