Photography in the Park

I helped my friend Kate, a budding black & white photographer, out with a photo shoot at the park. She graciously took my outfit photos, as well, so a big thanks to her!  Cooler weather is coming (or for some, is already here), and I'm trying to get a few more wears out of these peep-toe flats. 

Meet my new friends and their babies!

JCrew Belinda Dress

Fall is around the corner so, I'm busting out some warm tones that can easily transition into Fall. My days are numbered as I try to wear these great, open strap wedges. Alas, I'm giving into the next season and enjoying the last bit of warmth before the cold gusts transpire. :)

(Slim) Shady

Shades make this outfit infinitely cooler, right?  Speaking of shades & shady.  I do love Slim Shady. And I also love this combo of navy and cobalt + pop of bright pink.  I love a little bling when it adds just the right amount of glam to a look.  I love when the weather cools enough for a classic blazer.

Happy Wednesday! :)

Hot Pink Wedding

My beautiful friend, Karyl, recently got married! Dressed in a hot pink floor-length gown, I was thrilled to help one of my dearest friends down the aisle.

Our wedding party could not be missed in this fun, pink dress. Bonus:  the gown had pockets--perfect for a cell phone and some lipstick for touchups. The wedding was beautiful and warm wishes go out to the newlyweds - congratulations Karyl & Rick!

Dress:  Alfred Angelo

*Post wedding plans:  Pretty in pink... can I wear this dress again? I'm visiting my local dress shop to see if I can shorten this into a knee-length, cocktail number. Additionally, the pink is quite striking so, I may tone it down by dying it black. More to come in the future as I try to finagle another wear out of this one!
