Flashy Fringe

When I think of fringe;  playful and party come to mind. Not to mention it embraces this summer's Great Gatsby's 1920's glitz theme. Amplifying the texture even more is the layering of lace. Today's version is somewhat dressed down, but could totally steal the spotlight by adding a sequin tank and a glass of champagne! (always add champagne) Though I have embraced the ensemble as black and white, color could easily be added with a bold clutch or bag,  an edgy pump or simply a coral lip!

Afternoon Tea

As I wind down with wedding planning and the parties and showers conclude, I'm feeling rather royal at a Sunday tea party. The white frock with a sheer top is as close to bridal as it gets. Feeling ultra girly, I adored the rosettes gathered at the bottom of the dress. No tea party is complete without a fasinator!

Twirly-Girly Party Dress

Last weekend I attended a gorgeous wedding in Charleston for my friend Kimberleigh. I chose this dress because of the ladylike tiered tulle that made me feel super feminine. I couldn't resist twirling around and dancing to the band all night! Because of the busy skirt, I went with a classic black pump. BTW, how amazing does the bride look?
