Wedding Wednesdays!

Summer is in full swing which means Wedding season is officially upon us! With bachelorette and showers behind us, its time to concentrate on the main event - the Wedding. It can be pretty hard to figure out what to wear to a wedding, especially without completly breaking the bank. We are starting a new series for the month of June here on Booties, Bags, and Baubles called Wedding Wednesdays. Each week we will break down a different look dependent on the type of wedding you'll be attending: Beach, City, Destination, etc.

Week 1 is Country Club Wedding Week. We thought we'd start off the series with the wedding that everyone has been to or will be going to this summer. Its most common in the summer to be attending a Country Club Wedding but getting the look down right for this one can be pretty challenging. Just because the reception may include an outdoor component doesn't mean you should show up in a sundress and flats yet the Country Club setting makes the wedding more relaxed in feel then a city soiree. Our tip? Go for a classic cocktail dress and accessorize it with a lower-heeled open toe sandal and some soft accessories.

We love this jeweled embellished cocktail dress with shades of blue colorblock. The dress has just the right amount of dressy bling to take it into evening yet the style isnt overpowering for the day. We like pairing it with more simplified woven silver sandals, clear crystal jewelry and the ultimate prepster straw and silver clutch.

The Breakdown:

• Dress: Mignon Short Strapless Colorblock Dress/ $348 at Bloomingdales
• Jewelry: Grayce by Molly Simms / $100 - $225 at Grayce by Molly Simms
• Shoes: Bandolina Orielle/ $68 at Zappos
• Clutch: Tory Burch Rattan Clutch in Silver/ $248 at Jildor

The Daily Bling - Tuesday, May 4

Maybe it's because its wedding season or maybe its the fact that the Met Gala was last night but we are in formal wear mode! Our favorite look to dress up a black-tie look? Statement earrings! They do the trick everytime, no matter the style of the dress, and look gorg. whether you are wearing your hair up or down.

We've mentioned our love for Grayce by Molly Sims before and after checking out her latest collection we think its safe to say she has the best vintage inspired statement earring for the Spring season! We especially love today's daily bling, the Colored Crystal Drop Earrings in Light Pink. We are eying them as a compliment to our charcoal colored bridesmaid gown for an upcoming wedding but think they'd compliment just about any formal look. Antique Gold plated, this vintage inspired style comes in a beautiful rainbow of colored crystal options (including amythest which we also love) but the pink color is so feminine and luxurious that it has our pick!

You can purchase these on the newly launched Grayce by Molly Sims website for $95.

The Daily Bling - Friday, April 9

Yesterday we wore our Grayce By Molly Sims Crystal Point Rose Gold Cuff and got so many compliments! It got us thinking we need to head over to HSN to see what Molly is showing in her Spring collection!

There are plenty of great options but the piece that caught our eye is the Vintage Look Medallion Necklace above. It reminds us of the necklace that Joan from Mad Men wears in every episode and that's def. one of the reason's why we love it! We love the tassle and crytal drop detail - it definitly gives it that vintage vibe and makes it different from most of the longer necklaces we are seeing on the market now. It reminds us a little like something J. Crew would do but to our knowledge they haven't. Molly beat you to the punch J. Crew!

The necklace retails for $69 but HSN of course has easy pay so you can split the cost over two months! Gotta love that, right?

Check out this piece and all of Grayce by Molly Sims Collection on HSN.

Fashionably Yours,

The Daily Bling - Saturday, February 20th

Being that its the weekend (woohoo) I thought I'd bring you something really blingy for our daily bling! The Molly Sims Grayce Collection for HSN is surprisingly gorgeous, and the Crystal Point Cuff Bracelet in Rosetone is one of my favorite pieces in the collection. As you can see from the image I had to pull off from the HSN website, its "almost sold out" and my advice to you is that you grab your's before there gone (hey, they have flex pay!)

I love this bracelet because its really girly and really dresses up an outfit. It's a great Saturday night piece whether you are hitting the club with your girls or going to a nice dinner with your man. I purchased this bracelet a few months back and the quality is really nice. Even though its not real rose gold, its not tin-y either and looks really substantial on the wrist. The crystals are small enough that they could be believable for diamonds - that is if anyone would believe you dropped that much on a rose gold cuff. The bracelet also comes in goldtone, silvertone and hermaite tone, but I think their is something so feminine yet luxe and art deco feeling about the rosetone, so it would definitely be my pick metal.

The Grayce by Molly Sims Crystal Point Bracelet is available exclusively at HSN and www.hsn.com and retails at $89.50

Fashionably Yours,
