Trend Tuesday: Belt Bags

Wedding Wednesday: Destination Beach

{ Via: Elegant Wedding Invites }

Inspiration for today's post is personal. The newly engaged couple, "Miss Shop This" and her fiancé, Steve, just announced that now they are interested in having a destination wedding, somewhere "tropical." Say what? My big city daughter now wants to hit the beach.  Before I travel out of my Chicago comfort zone, let's see what a beach bash might look like.

HERE: 17 Details For Your Sandy

The Joplin 

Yes, you can embrace lace at the beach, but the dress needs to have a relaxed silhouette. The wispy hem of this style lends a romantic finish.

One thing is for sure, if you are getting married in the sand, heels will not do. Rose Gold is the perfect color to wear on the beach. Lovely for you or your bridesmaids.

Trend Tuesday: Fanny Packs!

{ Via: Refinery 29 }

The Belt Bag is back! Somehow this once tacky trend for tourists has been reinvented, and is cooler than ever. Spring 2018's "it" accessory is more versatile and much more of a fashion statement than its' nineties prototype. You'll see it worn around the waist, slung a little lower on the hip, and casually worn over the shoulder. Many of the bags convert to another style, and that's the cool factor.  I still have a vintage Chanel belt bag that I carry as a clutch. You bet it will soon make an appearance as it was meant to be worn. Scroll down to pick your own pack.

HERE: 13 Ways To Wear The Trend

Rockstud Spike Quilted Belt Bag

Pretty in pink with a splash of rock 'n roll. Made of luxe leather, this is one pretty pick!

Neiman Marcus 

Deco Belt Bag
One of my favorites of the edit, from Vere Verto in collaboration with Sissy Sainte-Marie. There is also a fabulous multi color version. Love it!
Need Supply 

Topshop Belt Bag
Shiny in silver with a gold little lions head. It's faux but fabulous and less than $55.
Nordstrom  

Gucci Sylvie Belt Bag
A stylish example of the versatility of these bags. This style is quite dressed up!
Gucci 

Wandler Anna Mini Belt Bag

Looking on the bright side this Spring, and I love it! This mini bag makes a big color statement.
Farfetch

These bags can go very dressy if you want. This just may be what your LBD needs this season!

Saturdays At Shop This:

{ Via: Zsa Zsa Bellagio }

Hopefully you had a wonderful week. If it was difficult, the weekend is here, try to relax, it's almost over. Last weekend and half of this week was spent wedding planning. The above photo reminded me of how tired my feet were from running around Chicago in the rain. Like a bride at the end of her wedding day, it was a happy tired with many precious moments spent bonding with Ms. Shop This. Here's some links that promise to bring a little more happiness to all of us.

During our wedding planning sessions my daughter and I discussed sit down meal service verses stations or passed presentations. This MOB wants a sit down situation so that we can use a place card, wax seal and ribbons as pretty as these at La Pomme.
