D&G Lace + Love

Jewelry: Nordstrom; Shoes: Gucci

We recently attended a destination wedding.  I would have liked to have jazzed this dress up with a big more but as I've already detailed, I'm a terrible packer. I only realize that I want something when I am miles away from my own closet and can't have that item!  Worst.Packer.Ever.
This set was a bridesmaid gift from a very good friend of mine.  They're from Nordstrom and really, really pretty in person.
Lots of sparkle.


I Wore a black blazer over the dress because it was a little chilly.  It's a
little more of a masculine look that I'm used to but the dress
was really girly and lacy, so it was a good contrast.
Meanwhile...can someone please tell me what is going on with my
'popped collar' in this photo? 

BIG Gripe: the white brand tag was exposed on the dress?!
At least make the tag black!! Ridic.

I'M SO CHEESY. I can't take it.
Cute! <3


After wedding lounging in the hotel <3
What I wore: 

Dress: D&G; shorter, hot pink version here.  I got this dress on super sale and did not pay ANYTHING CLOSE to the retail price, but if you want an even better price point - check out this long sleeved version by Juicy Couture & this adorable white puff sleeved one by the Australian Line Glam Rock.  Both via Revolveclothing.com 

Shoes: Gucci via Bluefly.

Jewelry set: Nordstrom, I believe they're by Nadri.  Similar silver style here

Blazer: Express Studio Line, similar one here.

How would you have spiced up this outfit? What accessories would you have paired it with?

  5. That dress is gorgeous on you!
    I'm kind of a terrible packer too - I always overpack, but then still manage to think of things I wish I had.

    I've gotten into the habit of making written lists before packing for long trips though and that helps. :)
