best dressed wedding guest : get the look for $350 or less!

A city ceremony calls for sleek sophistication.  Go for graphics and subtle shimmer in your dress and accessories. 

For island I-do’s, bright colors and prints are an ideal option.  Accent with bold accessories like oversized chandelier earrings and a clutch with chunky horn hardware.

Try a romantic twist on the cocktail dress for a semi-formal fete complete with fluttery hem and satin bag.  Or take the look further with a longer length.  A relaxed silhouette and easy fabric keeps it from crossing over into formal wear.

SHOP.

splurge-worthy : loeffler randall rider bag

color block /  black / mint

We’ve been quietly coveting the Rider Bag by Loeffler Randall for some time now.  If the amazing color options like dreamy mint green, edgy all over black, or a sophisticated color block combination weren’t enough to steer us in this bag’s direction,  there’s more.  With perfectly sized pockets to transport our precious iPads, and handy back straps to fasten to an equally chic bicycle, it’s the ultimate accessory for the girl about town.
