The Dress That Had Me At Hello

Dress: Three Floor Fashion c/o, Heels: Russell & Bromley, Arm Bangle: Feather & Stone c/o, Bracelets: Nadia Rabosio, Rings: Freedom @ Topshop

If this Three Floor dress could talk (no doubt in the most fabulous raspy, upper East Side New York-en lilt) it would have had me, for sure, at hello. 

I wore this look to our friends' wedding this past weekend, and had the most fun. A stellar dress will do that for you. 
Read on for more pics, and my notes on wedding guest dressing . . . 

Notes on styling: By the end of the Summer I will have been to five weddings this year - the most I have ever been to! I know you guys are smart, and so what I'm about to say will no doubt already be ingrained in your wardrobe psyche, however I feel it's worth repeating: you're comfort at the wedding is paramount, do not sacrifice it for your outfit! Bring a coat, wear comfortable shoes, and an ensemble you can eat in. 

When it comes to clothing, a flattering cut is my go-to for confidence. Be that a great pair of trousers and a structured top, or a fit n' flare dress . . . with room for wedding cake! 

Colour is an easy cheat to looking your best; think of the hue which people most compliment you in and search for a great look in that colour. I love pink, and will have worn it to three of the five weddings this year, I always feel great in it and so it's an easy option for me. For you, a fabulous jade green may be your perfect colour, or cobalt blue, or orange . . . experiment until you find a hue which makes your eyes sparkle, skin glow and you smile! If you find yourself lost in a pile of options, take a photo in your mirror of each, including shoes and accessories, and compare your looks once you've had some time to step away and get some perspective. Ultimately, it comes back to my first point, whatever you feel most comfortable in, you'll look your most fabulous!
 
What is your favourite wedding guest outfit? Are you guys heading to any occasions soon? Can you share your failsafe tip for feeling fabulous?

Summer Wedding Outerwear


A quick post today as I'm running/tube-ing/bus-ing between meetings (today's a serious no heel zone) - but I had to share with you guys THIS. Ols and I have two of our best couple friends getting married in consecutive weekends this month. I think (hope, pray) I've got my dresses sorted, but the outerwear?! 

Thank you ASOS for solving our sartorial woes as per. This beautiful floral ASOS Salon number is just the ticket for a Wedding season coverup, it's definitely made my short list. Enough of a statement floral to steer away from twee, beautiful Summer hues and a shape which will endure through wedding season and into autumn with ripped denim and cute ankle booties

Do you guys love too?! This evening I'm getting together with some of my girlfriends for burgers and catchups - I can hardly wait. 

Hope you guys have a great one too!

Hot Pink Wedding Guest Dress

Hey pretties!
pic from my Instagram 

Dress: Elizabeth Lau - old but similar, Clutch: Lulu Guinness c/o, Necklace: Lulu Frost - old but new season, Sunglasses: Anthropologie

This weekend I attended the wedding reception of one of Oli's oldest friends. It was SUCH a beautiful venue, my eyes were on stalks exploring all of the magical nooks. Hot pink is, as I have professed before, one of my favourite 'good day' colours. This Elizabeth Lau dress has been my fall back on many occasions; I love that the shape doesn't date and it hangs just so. I bought it a few years ago in the sale in one of my favourite boutique The Hambledon, but there are a tonne of great hot pink dresses out there which you can get your hands on. I've rounded up the best for you below:

I am so excited to see some of you this evening at my workshop for Burts Bees!

Have a super day all,

Lace Jumpsuit

Hey guys! Happy Monday!
Pic from my Instagram 

Jumpsuit: Kardashian Kollection @ Lipsy c/o  // Heels: Ursula Mascaro // Clutch: Vintage  // Jacket: Warehouse  // Sunglasses: Gant  // Tux: Comptoir Des Cotonnier // Earrings: H&M 

I love this lace jumpsuit which I wore over the weekend to my cousin's wedding. It was supposed to be super rainy on the day and so I shrunk away from the sweet dress I has planned to wear. Trousers can be a tricky thing to negotiate for a wedding, but this jumpsuit in a pretty lace was romantic enough to fit the bill. I opted to pair it with my Comptoir tux jacket and a pastel hued coat. 

I've been beavering away on all sorts of projects today, getting ahead of things before my trip to Menorca next week. Yippee!!

What is your take on trousers for a wedding? 

I hope you guys had an awesome weekend!

10 Beautiful Dresses To Wear To A Wedding

*Update: all of the gorgeous dresses above can be shopped using the scrolling shopping bar below. Hover over an item image and the brand and price will pop up, the navigation arrows allow you to scroll through all 10 dresses. 

So, it's officially started.

When interning a few years ago, I overheard my boss talking to another colleague: "trust me" she was saying "it'll just happen. One Summer your friends will start getting married and then every weekend you'll be attending a wedding." Well, this year seems to be the tipping point for mine and Ols' friends and I for one am super excited about this. I love love, weddings, romance...and heading to a Summer do' is the best excuse to stock up on a wardrobe full of pretty new dresses. 

Not only is it wedding season coming up, but Summer is filled with other events where special attire is required: prom, parties and holidays.

Now is the time to get your wardrobe in order; so often I see a dress early in the season and kick myself when I can't find it later on. If you are thinking about buying for a few different occasions, starting now and spreading the cost is super helpful too.

What special occasions do you guys have coming up?

Have a super day all!
