A Dress For the Wedding

It’s wedding time! Seems like every other weekend is filled with some sort of bridal, bachelorette, or wedding activity, which is totally A-OK with me because I have a new excuse to shop for the event. Ha! With a wedding in the Bay Area a couple weeks out, ideas are already starting to brew on what to wear. With attending a grad program at FIDM, I get new ideas every day, which also makes the decision-making even harder.

Here are several ideas for an afternoon wedding that continues into the evening. I’m aiming for a look that’s transitional. You know, not too Easter-brunch-ish and not too Vegas inspired– something right in the middle.

Take a peek below:

Loving Everything Lucite

Whenever I think or see anything lucite, I start to sing Jimmy Cliff’s “I Can See Clearly Now”. This trend has popped up several season’s ago, but didn’t really take off as anticipated. No, no, no, I’m not talking about tacky stripper platforms or glittery jelly sandals we all rocked proudly when we were six years old. This time around, it’s an updated and modern take using plexiglass and materials of the like. With Spring here, you can clearly see more and more lucite clutches, cuffs, heels, bangles and jewelry.

Check below to see what the hell I’m talking about:
