In addition to Cult Gaia, Sarah depends on many different brands for summer wedding looks, including Rhode — the label behind the chili red dress she’s wearing. She chats through her top recommendations, enjoys a plethora of dishes you might find on a classic wedding menu from The Little Beet, and attempts to calm the cats when they deem themselves wedding crashers and tumble into the reception.

Diana and Violet share a very special promo code with Dinner for Shoes viewers in honor of Earth Month, so there’s no better time to download the app. Sarah also presents an “unbagging” of delicious baked goods from Choc O Pain, which she purchased for only $3.99 via Too Good To Go, an app that minimizes food waste by allowing users to pick up uneaten meals throughout the day from participating local restaurants. Kit gets rowdy (of course) during a play session with the vintage Miu Miu ribbons on Sarah’s shoes du jour.
