Ok, so since we are all fabulous women with loads of friends, it is inevitable that we will be invited to at least ONE wedding this summer… Or Five….. What’s a girl to do? There are so many options, & time of day, setting, and level of formality are all factors. Check out our suggestions.

Morning/Early afternoon/Outdoor wedding- Go for something, light, breezy, floral. A sundress with a matching cardigan is ideal. A lightweight linen pashmina wrap is also a great topper. Ideas below:

Evening wedding- any of the following options, or variations of, would be perfection. Pearls are a classic touch to ANY dress, as shown here. A bright pashmina lightens up a simple black dress.

Options for both day or night: Depending on how you accessorize, these could be worn at any hour. Wearing pants in a luxurious fabric such as satin or silk is perfectly acceptable, as long as you pair them with a fancy top as shown below.

When it comes to handbags at weddings, small and chic is the way to go, just big enough to carry a camera, compact, and your keys. The straw bag is fab for day, and the quilted metallic silver is a great option for day or night.

So once you have this covered, breath easy, enjoy the champagne, and have a blast… Cheers!

Hardly a day goes by lately that we don’t receive a package with some lovely items we’ve been waiting on.  This is just what we need right now, throngs of new merchandise transforming our stores with color and pattern!  You have got to pop in for some new spring updates, and of course, the unexpected must-haves!

We’ve recently received amazing jewelry from Yochi, an easy way to add something new to your repertoire.  The bright coral, turquoise, and green all look great with jeans and a tee.  Effortless. Our Tocca delivery consisted of a dress and two fabulous jackets– one a classic, above-the-knee twill trench and the other a longer, hooded number in a yellow and white print; opposites of eachother, but each is an excellent fit. Milly beaded cardigan, printed top and gorgeous strapless dress are all great pieces for parties and those times when we want to wear something a bit more fun.  Sanctuary jackets and cropped pants and Urban Expressions handbags in two great colors, at a price-point you cannot beat.  Hat Attack light linen scarves and chic sun hats, all in time for the impending warmer weather!
