Bridesmaid dresses for way less than $200.

I was popping around on Bluefly.com and noticed a whole lotta dresses that could easily work on a bridesmaid. Or, at a minimum, fab rehearsal dinner dresses. They're affordable and straight off the rack. Who can argue with that?


Necessary Objects : $78


BCBG : $96


French Connection : $153

The Perfect Palette.

Have you seen The Perfect Palette? It's a great blog dedicated to color combination inspiration, so pop on over and take a gander. In today's Etsy Wednesday post, our Bloom invitation was featured. Thanks to Chrissy for including it! =)

Color Combo: Black + Goldenrod.

Thought I'd end the week the same way I started it... with a fun color combo! Anyhow, you might not see me early next week as I'm off entertaining a visitor, so here's hoping for a wonderful weekend!

A fun little belt for any dress.

When I saw this sassy little belt, I immediately began trying to figure out what I would pair it with. A brightly colored cardigan perhaps? Hmmm. I'm not great with a sewing machine or needle and thread (of any kind), but I might actually give this little cutie a go. I just love it! Be sure to check out the seemingly easy tutorial at 100 Layer Cake for full details on how to make your own.

Color Combo: Kelly Green + Black.
