Brides-to-be searching for their dream dress can add another option to the list. New York designer Erin Fetherston created a capsule collection of romantic bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses for Nordstrom, and it’s now available online at nordstromweddings.com and at 18 Nordstrom Wedding Suites across the country. The collection features her signature feminine, whimsical elements in new silhouettes and archival classics.

Fleur de Chic recently opened its doors in Chesterfield, offering shoppers a mix of both old and new. The specialty store features creative work from a wide variety of vendors, including original artwork, jewelry, refurbished furniture and home decor, and bath and body items.

The Demo in the Grove has reopened, much to the appreciation of local music lovers. The intimate concert venue has a new liquor license and lots of added sound-proofing in the walls and ceiling (and a strict weeknight curfew) to quell neighbor complaints. Bands who perform at The Demo cross all musical genres, from rock, indie and hip-hop to funk and soul. Upcoming shows include O’Death Oct. 15 and Vacationer Oct. 19.

For busy women on the go, running from the gym to work and everywhere in between, the Fivesse fitness bag offers a functional yet fashionable way to carry gear. Blue Moon Activewear in Clayton recently started carrying the accessory, which has specially labeled compartments to keep women uber-organized, a separate laundry bag and an ear bud wrap so cords stay tangle free.
