Finding a good gift can sometimes be a mind-bending chore, especially if it is jewelry. If this is true for you, then maybe it is time to take inspiration from celebrities.
Ali Fedotowsky and Kevin Manno officially tied the knot at an Oceanside ceremony in Palos Verdes, California.
Best known for as a tv host/personality and as the Season Six Bachelorette, Ali looked gorgeous in a custom Val Stefani gown she personalized for her reception.
Ali met with the designer duo behind Val Stefani, Valerie and Stephanie Chin, prior to her wedding day to customize a dress that wouldn’t make her feel “sucked in.”

Today’s TasteTV music video pick is by Dua Lipa, called “New Rules.”
The song was recently ranked as the official UK NUMBER 1 song and the first solo female #1 since Adele’s “Hello.”
The staccato beat is refreshing, with a repetitiveness that is catchy but also improvisational. The lyrics are a great match with the actual music video visuals, which show a love sick disenchanted woman learning the new rules of relationships and hookups from her various friends, and then eventually passing them on to others in need. The well synchronized dance routines are choreographed yet spontaneous, ranging in locales from a hotel bedroom, to the bathroom, to the hotel swimming pool.
The video filters and styles have a flashy nouveau tropical vibe that makes the viewers feel cool and hip, especially when seen with the multi-hued designer sunglasses worn by her diverse multi-ethnic ‘posse’ of advisers and friends.
In this video, the ladies literally walk on water. Once you start humming, “I’ve got rules, I’ve got rules,” you’ll find the Dua Lipa ear bug has been caught for this song. The rules are contagious.
She is currently on tour around Europe, Asia and the United States. We certainly look forward to seeing her act live!
