Last of the Summer

G & I are holding onto our summer wardrobe before it gets too cold! I already see people are busting out their Fall decor, but we'll take the last of the warm days!

I love this striped dress from Crew. It's one of my favorite shapes, and this vibrant color can make any cold day -- bright and sunny. 

How's your summer to fall transition going?

Bright Roxy One Shoulder

I hope you had a great holiday! The family and I headed up to MI for the long weekend! 

I also recently visited a local festival. Like Ailyn, I love any place with lemon shakeups! And, I'm totally into this one-shouldered dress from Roxy. This dress is awesome and packs a lot of punch in this one shouldered piece.

How was your holiday?

Hot Pink Re-Mix

A few months ago I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. I've been working on repurposing my bridesmaids dress for an upcoming occasion. I took my hot pink dress to a seamstress to be shortened.

I envisioned a puffy, party dress and had my seamstress cut the bottom portion in an A-line fashion --similar to the original cut of the dress. Sadly, it didn't look as great as I envisioned.

So, for round #2 I decided to go with a pencil style for the bottom of the skirt, and it was a winner! See the new, winning dress below.

Round 1:  Original

Round 2:  A-line

Round 3:  Winner - Pencil Style

This past weekend I was invited to attended a local charity gala and the attire was "black tie." Welcome my friend Jonathan to the blog in his tux. I'm pumped about this newly, re-worked dress!

Happy Halloween! For last minute costume ideas, check out some idea inspiration.
