August 15, 2011:
It's crunch time! While the last-minute wedding details are being buttoned-up, Kim's trying to keep busy and stress-free. So, last night she appeared at the Do Something Awards in LA and gabbed with pal Tyra Banks.

The model even offered up a bit of a hint about Kardashian's wedding fashion! “I gave [Kim] the advice of going with a silhouette that the world isn’t used to seeing her in," the style maven said.

Kardashian apparently took the advice to heart because Ms. Banks seems to be very impressed with the Vera Wang gown. “What she showed me was so beautiful,” Banks said Sunday night. “It’s interesting because they were pictures from a fitting, but it actually looked like the wedding, like her hair was done. So it was like a real almost dress rehearsal and she looked absolutely beautiful.”

Banks also revealed that she is on the exclusive guest list for Saturday's wedding -- which is certain to be the talk of Hollywood, and the rest of the world.

The model says she's only getting the star "a kiss and a congratulations," but Kardashian will definitely receive a bevy of luxury items this weekend. There are only a few things left on her upscale wedding registry!

So, what remains for guests who have yet to buy her a gift? Here's a few items: A $7,850 Baccarat Cosmos vase, a $840 crystal ashtray, and $205 ice tongs.

Kim Kardashian's big day is less than a week away! You'd think the reality star would be pretty stressed at this point, but mom Kris Jenner says her daughter isn't frantic at all. Jenner said (via People.com): "She's very calm, it's just her personality. She knows what she wants and she's very focused on the day and is just enjoying the process.”

And, Kardashian seemed nothing but excited on Twitter this weekend. She wrote: "OMGGGG my wedding is a week away!!!! This is so crazy! I'm so happy!"

August 20 will be a big day for the mom of the bride too, but it sounds like Jenner's confident her little girl has found the right guy. "She's doing great, and I think that any mom just feels happy when their child finds the person they want to be with for the rest of their lives," she said. "That's a big step."
August 13, 2011: Kim's psoriasis heart (via Twitter) Love is in the air -- and apparently on the reality star's arm. Kardashian just tweeted a picture of her heart-shaped psoriasis, exactly one week before she and Kris Humphries will walk down the aisle. She wrote: "Kinda funny & gross but look at my heart shaped psoriasis! LOL Had to share!"

Kim Kardashian's big day is just over a week away and the madness is setting in. Proof: The soon-to-be bride flew 11 hours to spend just three hours in New York City for a last-minute wedding dress fitting Wednesday.

Kardashian said after her brief visit with Vera Wang: “I took the red-eye at midnight, landed at eight in the morning in New York, ran to Vera Wang for a dress fitting at 10 a.m., and then left at noon on another flight out. So I was literally in for an hour, back out. I spent like 11 hours on a plane just to spend three hours in New York.” 

It was "so worth it," she said at an event in LA just hours after the fitting. We have no doubt that Kim would have traveled much farther to make sure her dream dress fits like a glove...

While Kim was busy trekking across the country, Khloe Kardashian was spotted at Vera Wang's L.A. offices. We assume her bridesmaid dress also needed some last-minute nips and tucks. The wedding preparations are certainly a family affair!

You'd think Kim would be a little stressed out (and overly tired) right about now, but she claims she's stress-free. "All of my freak out moments kind of happened at the beginning, when we decided to get married this summer," she said. "This week, I have been really calm."

We know Kim's star siblings will be at the August 20 wedding, and rumor has it there will be a slew of other famous faces at the swanky shindig. Sources say celebs like Justin Bieber and Eva Longoria have received invites, along with Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Jennifer Lopez! The RSVPs are surely in by now, but the Hollywood types have been pretty quiet about whether or not they'll attend. La La Vazquez and Ciara slipped, though, and both boasted about their exclusive invites.
