Throwback Thursday - A Beautiful Wedding Ft My Beautiful Sisters!

Hello my nerdly beautifuls! 

Continuing on with my pretty dresses obsession phase/post playing around dresses on Weddington Way, I couldn't help but throwback to last summer in Puerto Rico! I was there for a friend's absolutely beautiful wedding! I didn't actually wear white to the wedding, (I wouldn't dare, haha) wore this dress to the all white beach party the night before. 

I cherish moments my sisters and I get to dress up, take pictures, crack up at inside jokes and party all night (we literally did dance all night!).  Looking forward to our next reunion! 

How adorable are they!!?? <3

Weddington Way - Dream Red Carpet Look-book

Hello my nerdly beautifuls! Hope your week has been great so far! 

Recently I've been obsessing over beautiful dresses from the Couture Fashion Week, and so when Weddington Way reached out to me to write a post about styling their dresses for the perfect red carpet look, I couldn't wait to get started! I have to say they have the loveliest bridesmaids dresses. After helping my sister choose her bridesmaids dresses, I've really come to appreciate good  bridal collections, and an easy online shopping experience. The great thing about Weddington Way is that you can register yourself and your bridal party as soon as you sign up with them, and afterwards they have a personal stylist contact your party, providing guidance with the process of selecting the perfect dress, for free!!! 

So, for my first look (above), I decided to go with rose gold and champagne colors. You've probably noticed by now that I love this color palette! Kept it simple with a long elegant champagne colored dupioni dress. I love the bateau neckline, and the mod style it embodies. I opted for rose gold accessories, to keep the look subtle, but added a little edge with red lipstick and red sparkly nail polish by Nars. 

My second look is a little on the bold side, but I honestly don't think you could go too far off in a red dress. The color carries the look, which makes accessorizing so much easier! The v-neck is just low enough to complement the fullness and inverted pleat of the dress, which both remind me of old Hollywood glamour! I had so much fun picking out accessories to complement this dress, especially when playing with Polyvore makes me feel like I'm shopping without actually spending money - win! I also love the subtle-glam the silver brings to this outfit. 

So, what do you think of the assembles? Which do you prefer? Leave a comment below letting me know, I honestly can't decide! :)

Georges Hobeika - The Beauty of Lightness, of Nature, and Savoir Faire

C O U T U R E

Hello my nerdly beautifuls! Here are some of my favorite looks from the Paris Couture Week, and this is particularly a light and transparency inspired collection by Lebanese haute couture and ready-to-wear fashion designer, Georges Hobeika. He presented this as his Spring and Summer 2015 look-book, and honestly, I've been in Fabric Heaven ever since! There's something about this collection that is very dreamy, transcending age and trends.

R E A D Y     T O     W E A R

What I adore about these pieces, is his ode to the experience of light against sequins, pearls, crystals, silk chiffon, colors, embroidery and the contrast between these experiences. I love the colors, cohesion, structured dresses with cut out details, and above all, the combination/balance of strength, play and elegance. 

Hope you enjoyed reading as much I enjoyed putting this together!

Stay Smart; Stay Beautiful,
