How I Wore It Weekend - Bridesmaid Edition!

This weekend was super fun filled as one of my bff's from college (and sorority sister) got married in NYC! The bridesmaids wore gorg. charcoal grey chiffon Amsale gowns and the bride wore a Vera Wang design that was to die for (and very similar to Chelsea Clinton's style coincidentally!)

Here are some pictures of the wedding. I opted to go for a Grecian look to compliment the dress's flowy style with a half-up/half down wavy hair style. I kept the accessorizing simple as I was a bridesmaid after all, opting for silver statement chandelier earrings and a few thin Swarovski crystal bangles as my only jewelry. The beautiful white and blush rose mix bouquet also adds to the overall look.

Wedding Wednesdays: Destination

If you find yourself at a destination wedding this summer what's your most important style tip? Stay cool!! Beach weddings are hot, but beach weddings in a tropical destination in summer time? Well, that's even hotter!

Our go to look? A light cotton or linen sundress that just has the right amount of bright, island flavor. We think this Shoshanna Ikat Print Dress in too-hot-to-trot pink fit's the bill just perfectly. Accesorize with flat sandals so your comfortable to dance around in the sand, but not flip flips (thats too casual even for a beach wedding) and chic raffia clutch. Dress the look up with some clear, lucite jewelry and maybe a fun whimsical "beach-themed" piece, like this Swarovski fish ring, for just a touch of vacation fun!

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.
