Summer Wedding Wardrobe

The wedding season is almost upon us, and I have three very different weddings to attend this summer. I already purchased this dress for the first in May, but still need to get my wardrobe up to speed for the others. Here’s just a little about the events and the sort of look I’m going to attempt for each one. Do you have a go-to outfit for nuptials?

 

The first a late morning event, followed by a low-key reception and after-party.
Dress: Mondrian Print Dress, Calypso St. Barth
Shoes: Bonneville Wedges, Anthropologie

 


The second in the evening, held at an upscale location full of pomp and circumstance.
Dress: Oversize Sequin Shift Dress, ASOS (check out the back!)
Shoes: Two-Tone Sequin Pump, BCBG/Max Azria

 


And the third, a ceremony that remains shrouded in mystery.
Dress: Camilla silk-crepe dress, Temperley London
Shoes: Marguertie, Nine West

Lee Price

 

 

 

Photographs? Guess again. Lee Price creates photorealistic oil paintings, mainly of herself eating junk food, that explore body image, feminism, and cultural relationships with food. (Perhaps the Sartolialist should take note, eh?)

Studs

As in the earrings, not the dudes.

Five years ago for Christmas my stepdad gave me a set of diamond studs set in white gold, and I think I can just about count the number of times I’ve taken them off on my fingers and toes. I have small ears and they’re the perfect size, nothing too flashy, and they go with absolutely everything. In other words, perfection.

I have plenty of longer earrings, but I’m realizing I’m not really a dangley earring kind of girl. I am however hoping to get a few more pairs of classic studs to mix things up at bit.

Instagram


Clockwise: me being all avant garde in my bathroom, beautiful vase of flowers from a friend’s bridal shower, my first blind embossing project, the latest incarnation of my personal business cards, my cat Roxy, my favorite flats, the perfect shade of poppy red (essie’s Lacquered Up), the light wall at Republic Gastropub, my embroidery floss collection

 

You already know all about Instagram, love it, and use it all the time right? Thought so. It happens to be my favorite iPhone app, well, ever. Snap a photo with your phone, choose a filter that makes you look like a way more talented photographer than you actually are, write a witty caption, and instantly share on Twitter, Facebook, or flickr. And it’s free. BOOM.
