Wedding Wednesday: What To Wear To A Summer Wedding

{ Via: ZsaZsaBellagio }

It's officially wedding season and just a day away from the beginning of Summer. If your invitation was in the mail, you better get your dancing shoes ready. Are you like me and enjoy dressing for a wedding? It's one of the only ocassions where you will find almost everyone dressed to the nines. As they say, "dressing well is is a form of good manners." Here's how to do both, with something
 for every budget.

This floral find is layered loveliness. The cami dress underneath can actually be worn alone. If interested at all, do click through to see this pretty piece in motion.

Retail Therapy: Fashion Finds $50 And Under



Sometimes all we need is a little retail therapy to brighten our day. Just a small indulgence can make a difference. Today by "small" I mean everything under $50. It's almost guilt free shopping, especially when you are saving over 50% in some cases. It's a fashion crime to pass up a good deal, don't you agree?  Scroll down to see the goodies I found for us today.

Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH

HERE: 12 Finds To Pick Up Today

Gold Sunnies
A structured but very stylish look. These shades make a big style statement. The Boyfriend Tee on the model is also under $40. The two go well together, I think. 
Beyond Proper

Stelen Georgia Wrap Top
Who can't use a new crisp white shirt? This one has details for days.
Need Supply

Daisy Floppy Hat
How cute is this? Chic and so much fun for less than $20.
Saks Off Fifth

Stelen Joan Blouse in Black
Loving the beautiful bishop sleeves on this off the shoulder top. It will look just as good with denim as it does with white pants.
Erno Laszlo Marble Bright Face Mask
I have used Laszlo facial soap for years,  and have also enjoyed their mud mask. This product is new to me. It's on sale, and a nice way to try this luxe brand.
Anthropologie 

Zadie Pant
You just can't beat black and white for Summer. A wide leg pant is actually cooler on the body.
Need Supply

Off The Shoulder Dress
I actually own this dress. It makes the perfect non-see through beach coverup for me. But I also can wear it as a dress. Adorable for less than $30
H & M

Audrey Jeans by Beija Flor
These are tempting me. Brazilian-style jeans are noted for their slimming silhouette that helps flatten your tummy, lift your rear and shape your curves in ultra-stretchy comfort. 
These were $168!
Soft Surroundings

Luella Mule
I've loved these mules for some time. Now that they are on sale they are irresistible. Also available in six other patterns.
Sole Society

Melvina Flower Earrings
White earrings seem to be a thing this season. They do brighten up the face. These remind me of Chanel's white Camellia. Also available in Blush and Pink.
Baublebar

Tortoise Monogram Keychain
Stock the gift closet. Here is the perfect personalized present for under $20.

own dream room. 

Serena & Lily sweepstakes! Enter to win a Dream Makeover partnership with Pencil & Paper. Available 6/13 - 6/19

Serena & Lily Wallcovering
Wallpaper can make a big statement in a room, and I love it, especially for a guest room. My guest room currently is used as a den/guest room combination, and has grasscloth on the walls. I would love to repeat that process, but change up the color, and continue it into the en suite bath. Here's where I need the help of Pencil & Paper. I can't decide which paper. Shown Left to right Grasscloth in black or in Silver and the pattern is Cayman Cork . 
They are all good, right?


The Octavia Bed
I chose this style because of its' beautiful silhouette, with simple lines and  sophisticated presence. It's neither modern or traditional. I chose the washed linen upholstery in metal.

Gobi Bedding 
For a clean spa like feel to the room, I have chosen Gobi, for it's sophisticated and simple borders. There's many colors to chose from but shown above in Pewter. I also enjoy the Border Frame Duvet Covers found here.

Throws
A throw at the bottom of the bed adds texture, pattern and warmth to the look of the bed. I can't quite decide which one? Actually all three would be great to own for changing up the look by the seasons.


Our guest room features a fabulous water view of Lake Michigan. The swivel chair in silver linen with nickel nailheads, will allow the guest to be able to look out the window with ease. As always, there are so many colors and fabrics to choose from at 
Serena & Lily.

You will find a collection of pillows in every shape and pattern. The Devon Pillow Cover blends all of my color palette beautifully.

Nightstands
Again I am considering three different styles. The choice will be clear when the wallcovering color is selected. All good choices here, and because I am not a fan of matchy matchy, I will most likely choose two styles.


If you can believe, I only have two table lamps in my home. They were custom designed and two of a kind....the opposite of traditional. Lighting is not my thing, but of course, it is necessary. These are minimalistic but have a great French modern flair. Love!

Love the silver shine to this basket, which will blend with the nickel trim of the swivel chair, and the wall sconces. Fill the basket with welcome gifts, magazines, towels, etc.


Art changes everything, and Serena & Lily has a fabulous collection of pieces from original works, vintage, prints and more. Shown above is Holly Addi's Fogges Study 2. 
It's perfect for this room.

I enjoy the simplicity of the Heath Rug. It's available in four colors, and of course I like the charcoal shade the best. It's a blend of wool and viscose, making it sturdy and long lasting, not to mention soft underfoot.
