Spotlight...BCBG Wedding Wear

I have a wedding to go to at the end of September.  The location is a winery, so it's sure to be both a beautiful backdrop and a wild party (with my family, it always is!)!  So, I've been casually looking for something to wear for a few weeks.  The bride's wedding color of choice is red and, since I find it totally offensive to coordinate with the wedding party, it's a color that is totally off the table.  I also refrain from shades of white, for the same reasoning.  So far, I haven't had much luck.  So, today I paid a visit to my very gorgeous, very stylish friend, Kim.  She also happens to run my local BCBG MaxAzria shop...convenient, I know.  As far as special occasion goes, I don't know of a better brand out there.  They design such a high quality, stunning garment, at what I find to be a very reasonable price.  There were tons of beautiful options!  Though I didn't have time for a fit session today, I will be scheduling a date soon to try on all of the above, as well as this beauty pictured below.  I fear that it may not be dressy enough, due to the leather, but I love it so!  Either way, I have a feeling it will find a new home in my closet!

Black & White & Pink all over...

So, here we are...back in the heat!  We visited with the fantastic fashion of Fall for a bit, but we're back!  In the stifling heat of July, and August, and September, and sometimes even October (crazy Northeast weather!), it can be a challenge to look polished.  Black and white (with neon pink and gold accents) will always save the day...or outfit!  My general rule is, if you're wearing primarily black & white (like a breezy, chevron maxi dress), bring in color with an amazing neon cross body bag (the Tory Burch above is a great color pop for now, and always)...and keep accessories minimal with gold bangles and some gold Havianas (not pictured).  On the flip side, sometimes you're ready to go for it with a fabulous pink ensemble (nothing accents a tan better!).  This is the time for those black & white graphic accessories...love the tribal Zara sandal!  And, again, a little gold shine goes a long way...especially if your tan starts to fade from too many hours at the office.  You can always cheat it a little with some Jergen's Natural Glow...or a well-planned sick day!  Your secret is safe with me!
