Bridal Inspiration {Bridesmaids}

I’ve always wanted to go the non-traditional route of having bridesmaids in a white or cream or butter or blush. A color very close to the wedding dress. The problem is, it’s much harder to find the right dress because there aren’t as many options.

The below are lovely, but of course are from Net-A-Porter. Anyway for inspiration…

Pretty Bows

Tumblr_lddimhxafh1qagv3qo1_500_large

I love bows in hair, on shoes, on pins, on wrists, tied on a man’s (or woman’s) neck, cinching waists, wrapped on packages…you get the idea. For your consideration/inspiration, see below.

Christmas, Cupcakes and Cats

I love this Holiday themed editorial, especially the stilettos in the fridge! Hilary Rhoda is one of my favorite brunettes and I am totally going to try to recreate her look for at least one Christmas party. Maybe I can finally utilize my bump-it?

Looking Chic When It’s Bleak

[fromme-toyou.tumblr.jpg]

I rhymed! I think I post about girls looking fabulous in winter garb at least once per day. Only because I think it’s a far greater feat to look fabulous while braving the elements. Most style-conscious women can look adorable/lovely/chic in the summer with the zip of a simple dress, a few baubles and a tan.

Laundry Day

I love this quite literal take on wearing formals to do laundry because you’ve waited so long and have nothing else. Very fun editorial.
