dreamy outfit // engagement photos

hello, sweet friends! today is super exciting... our dear friend michael winters is take engagement photos for us this evening and we can't wait. i bought myself some sweet new goodies just for this special occasion but i'm sure i'll be getting some serious use out of all of these pieces since they're pretty much bananas. i thought it appropriate to showcase our wedding colors in our engagement photos (ivory, blush, red & gold) and what better way than through fancy new clothes?

friday faves - divorce party dresses

happy friday, peaches! are you all so excited that it's almost the weekend?! it's not my weekend yet but i am very excited for those of you who have the next couple of days off!

today's friday faves is made up of my current top contenders in the 'party dresses' category... specifically, i'm trying to figure out what lovely little number to wear to my divorce party. yes, little loves, you read that correctly. here are my top eight, and a little bit of information for you below...

1 tulikki maxi dress, $256 via allsaints

2 morningstar dress, $130 via french connection

3 vibrant cloud v-neck dress, $465 via nicole miller

4 preston embellished dress, $550 via alice+olivia

8 lace panel dress, $100 via topshop

7 lamia maxi dress, $265 via allsaints

6 poetic penumbra dress, $109.99 via modcloth

5 samantha sleeve dress, $168 via french connection*

yes, yes, i know they are not in the correct order... that's because my silly computer wouldn't let me fix them! so, the basic idea is that i married someone who was not very nice to me and now we're getting divorced (we've been separated for a while) and it's reason for me to celebrate! i am intending on wearing the steve madden annnie-l booties because they are super fabulous and i love them... so what do you think? which dress do you think i should wear for this very special celebration?

*this is funny because it happens to be the name of the person i'm divorcing!
