Met Gala 2014

My favorite fashion event (besides a royal wedding) is the annual Met Gala in NYC. I absolutely love the bold dresses that stars done for this big night out. I was following along on Instagram last night, and absolutely fell in love with some of my favorite star’s outfits. The nine pictures below are my favorites. I personally think that the Gossip Girls, Leighton and Blake, stole the show though – their dresses are absolutely stunning. Which look is your favorite?

1. marion cotillard in dior // 2. gisele bundchen in balenciaga // 3. selena gomez in DVF // 4. blake lively in gucci // 5. lauren bush lauren // 6. emma stone in thakoon // 7. leighton meister in emilio pucci // 8. beyonce in givenchy // 9. jessica alba in DVF

Independence Day Style

July Fourth is next weekend (hallelujah!), and I’m trying to decide what I’m going to wear. I’ve ordered the Tory Burch Miller sandals (#9) after borrowing my sister and my mom’s for years. I also have the wedge version of the J. Crew pump (#10), so that’s in contention. I have all of the Kendra necklaces (yes, obsessed), so now it’s just the dress I need. I’m probably going to take advantage of J. Crew’s 30% off sale on all summer items (Code: SUMMER3o).

What are you wearing for next week’s celebrations?

The Mara Gown

I love the work of Karine’s photographer, Laura Murray, and as I was perusing her blog, I discovered the most beautiful floor length BCBG white gown. Currently obsessed with buying white dresses, I thought – why not? I think this one will definitely make it into our engagement session. It’s almost $100 cheaper on Dillards.com than BCBG – find the Mara gown here (and yes, it’ll make me think about you, Mara).

Bridal White Dresses // by McKenzie

On Monday night, I expressed my growing stress to my best friend, McKenzie, and as I’m going to bed, my phone vibrates. I look and there’s an email from her. It’s honestly the most beautifully designed PDF I’ve ever opened. Along with a perfectly uplifting email message about the joys of being engaged, the dress selection is impeccable. I did screenshots of the PDF since they don’t display in WordPress. Isn’t she perfect? I want them all! Especially that beaded number by Parker. You can find these gorgeous dresses at the following links:

First row: 1) alice + olivia Matilda Silk Dress, 2) Rebecca Taylor Pebbled Strapless Dress, 3) Rebecca Taylor Sleeveless Lace Dress, 4) Parker Architect Beaded Dress
