Blue Maxi.


When J and I got married exactly five years ago (tomorrow!), many of our friends and family members had either already tied the knot or were in the process of planning their upcoming nuptials. But, after our wedding, there seemed to be a relative lull in wedding celebrations (which had quickly been replaced by baby showers). 
The wedding hiatus came to a screeching halt this past year when we received not one, not two, but SIX wedding invitations for the summer of 2015--four of which were going to be held out of state (Mexico, Colorado, Illinois, and California). So, after we got through the initial chaos of planning out vacation hours, plane tickets and hotel rooms, we put on our dancing shoes and decided that we would spend the next few months burning up dance floors and teaching the youngins how it's really done. Because, as my favorite Colombian blonde once proclaimed: these hips don't lie. ;)

Since posting the above pic on Instagram (from our Colorado trip/wedding), a number of people requested outfit details. Given that I had just bought the dress from Macy's a week or two prior, I thought that I would be able to easily find it online and share the link with you. But, the dress turned out to be my unicorn.
I couldn't find the exact dress anywhere, even when I searched for it by brand name. So, I did the next best thing and put together a few lists of similar dresses and accessories that I love just as much as the ones that I wore to the wedding. For those looking to purchase this exact dress, I suggest hitting up your nearest Macy's.
It might be hiding out in the clearance section!

Hello Gorgeous/Avery Lane Boutique Exclusive Look: Summer Weddings.

Every summer, hubs and I have at least a handful of weddings to attend.  And each time a wedding rolls around I find myself asking the same question: "What the heck should I wear?!" 
There are so many suggested 'dos' and 'don'ts' when it comes to wedding attire.  Don't wear white. Or cream. Or anything light. Don't wear red! Don't wear black, it's not a funeral.  So, part of the reason that I'm always a little flustered with what to wear is because I feel somewhat restricted on what is appropriate.  Because the last thing that you want to do is wear something that the bride finds offensive.  It is her biggest day, after all.  
So, what's a girl to do?? Wear something somewhat neutral, but with a flare!  My favorite 'wedding attire' lately has been a dress in a neutral color.  But, one that has something that *pops* and catches the eye.  This way, you're playing it safe, but you're also having fun with your look.  A perfect example of this concept is this absolutely fabulous dress (and oh so pretty jewels) from Avery Lane Boutique-- handpicked by yours truly!  The gorgeous "Midnight Memories" dress and the "Frost Me" bracelet and earrings are this month's Hello Gorgeous/Avery Lane exclusive look-- and all of the pieces can be purchased right here!      

I wore this ensemble to a friend's wedding last week and the dress and jewelry were a huge hit!  And I just have to say, the bottom of this dress is incredible and so faboosh!  This look will leave you feeling appropriate, perfectly polished, and beyond fabulous!
