In Dinner for Shoes episode 54, Bolognese + Black Friday, host Sarah Wasilak invites Wedding Emergency Stylist Risa Kostis onto the podcast to chat about her brand The Rescue Kit Company, which helps prevent and solve wedding wardrobe disasters. Risa also shares the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals she recommends 2025 brides take advantage of this year, and then Sarah shares some of her own suggestions and tips for fashion folks shopping Cyber Week sales. Finally, Sarah tries Risa’s favorite dish, bolognese, despite a few DoorDash-ridden hiccups in the process.
