Wedding Wear: Spotlight on Eva Mendes for New York and Company


I don't know about you all, but I don't normally have a lot of weddings to attend. I love getting dressed up and celebrating with the happy new couple. My husband and I put on our finest attire and get a sitter and attend a lovely service with a reception to follow. You all know the drill. 

I can't tell you the last wedding that I attended before the two that I just did in October. Maybe it's because I love a good party but I wish more people were getting married so I could attend.  I digress...

Anyways, we were invited to two weddings two weekends in a row! Spectacular! But what to wear? I was looking for dresses and I wanted to wear two different ones since a) I would be seeing some of the same people b) one was daytime and one was nighttime and c) who doesn't want a new dress? 

I saw the collection at New York and Company by Eva Mendes and immediately fell in love with her dresses! They were classic and feminine at reasonable prices. I purchased two different ones and feel that these will be in my closet for a long time to come! 

The first wedding was a nighttime wedding and I wore this beautiful black brocade sleeveless dress:

 It kinda reminds me a little of Breakfast at Tiffany's! 

Here's a look at the details- Nine West bow heels, Groopdealz necklace, Kate Spade bag
Here's my favorite accessory:

The second wedding was my sister in law's wedding and was during the day. It was pretty chilly out and rainy but a beautiful fall wedding. This dress was also sleeveless but belted and polka-dotted. I felt like a fifties housewife in this one with my pearls! Here's a look at the second one:

I chose Nine Westnude patent bow pumps, a nude Apt 9handbag from Kohls, Lia Sophia bangle bracelets and JCrew Factory pearls. Here's a closer look: 
Here's a not so great pic of me and my husband (poor lighting indoors for this one)
I was loving his look with the bow-tie! 

So here's to all you that love weddings and dressing up as much as I do! Check out Eva Mendes collection in New York and Company stores and online. Cheers! 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
