What I Wore

If you saw this Instagram teaser photo on Saturday you already know that I attended a "white party" on Friday night. 

It was a lovely fundraiser at the Oregon Golf Club for the Tiffany Autism Foundation.  I wore my favorite gold Ferragamo Sandals from Consign Design (post here) and my go-to nude Zellie clutch from Danielle Nicole (post here). 

As for the dress...you may remember my "White to Wear" post where I shared a number of white dresses that I was considering for the event. Well, I decided on the Aqua Lace Empire Dress. I got it on sale for $69! 

 Here are a few more photos from the evening. My friend SB rocked it in this amazing jumpsuit!

And my +1 mastered the country club "pool boy" look (hot!).

As for my hair. I conveniently planned a haircut the day of the event, which meant someone else did it for me. Ive been wanting to conquer the straightening iron "curls" for a while now, but know my hairstyling is pretty limited to a flat iron and blow dryer. The hairdresser knocked out this look in a matter of minutes! 

If you want to try it yourself, here's a tutorial. My hair rarely holds curl, but because this heats and bends your hair it stays longer. I think I might have to spend some time perfecting this technique on myself.

White to Wear

I'm attending a "white party" at the beginning of August and am on the hunt for a white dress. Since I don't wear white often, I don't want to spend a fortune. Here are some of the dresses I am considering.

These are the two front runners that I have actually ordered.
If neither of these work, round 2 will include these dresses.

I love the low-v and the back detail of this dress, but who knows what it would be like on...


Off the shoulder/strapless isn't a style I would normally choose, but I love the gigantic lace of this dress. 


This one is much more casual, but it looks comfy! 

Which is your favorite?

I also have some friends with white dresses, so I may just end up shopping in one of their closets instead. I'll be sure to do a "What I Wore" post after the party.

Currently Coveting

When I saw this Zara dress, I knew it had to be mine. It's currently en route to my closet. 




I can only hope it lives up to my expectations and that it fits.

You Asked For It

One of my loyal followers inquired about the designer of Vivianna Volpicella's dress in this photo. While I didn't quite find the actual dress, I did find this BB Dakota Sheldon Dress that is very similar and a reasonable $90.

Lace For Less

A while back, I posted Kelly Ripa and SJP in a fabulous lace dress by Stella McCartney. While this dress from Queen's Wardrobe isn't quite the same sihlouette, it is almost equally as beautiful yet far more affordable (and it comes in black as well). I Want this dress!
