I went to a really fun event last night – well, actually I went to 2, but I’ll write about the other one tomorrow or Friday.  I’m waiting for pictures to arrive.  Anyway, I went to this fabulous event last night for OxiClean.  You know the guy with the beard that yells at you through the TV that OxiClean can clean anything.

Well, they were showcasing their complete line of cleaning products and had a demo to show us how easy and well the product works.  And it really does work, just like in the commercials!   But I had to ask: How can OxiClean help brides?

And here’s the answer:  OxiClean Spray-A-Way Instant Stain Remover.  This travel size bottle ($2.99 in drugstores) is the perfect addition to your wedding day emergency kit.  Now, I’m NOT saying that you should spray OxiClean on the front of your wedding dress, because I don’t know how the fabric of your dress with beading and embroidery will respond, but I think it’s great to have on hand for your groom and groomsmen’s suits and dress shirts, as well as for your bridesmaids and children in the wedding.

If you’re making a hospitality basket for the bathroom, this would be a great addition to it.  (Unless you’re afraid a guest will take it as their wedding favor.)  Or you could throw it in with your luggage for your honeymoon, so you won’t have to worry about finding a laundromat on the exotic island you’ll be staying on.

The photo above is of me and Clinton Kelly, from TLC’s show What Not to Wear.  Clinton was at the event giving us his top styling tips.  Here's my favorite one:  Adopt a European Sensibility to Dressing.  Stop buying in bulk and invest in a few quality pieces that can be mixed and matched with other existing pieces in your wardrobe.  (Excellent honeymoon wardrobe advice.)
