What to wear...the little white dress

I've mentioned it before, but white is a great trend for this summer. I found these casual, flirty white dresses on Mango this week, just perfect for any bride needing to make her mark at a bridal event wearing the traditional white. If your summer is going anything like ours here in Portland, don't be afraid to add a cardigan or a colorful scarf to keep you warm :)

J.Crew Swim

This weekend I am braving the yearly search for a bathing suit. I've been scoping out a couple of my favorites online this week and I have landed at the same place I always do: The Crew. I am so predictable when it comes to suits. Colors: blue, grey and white. Pattern: stripes, polka dots or anything that resembles them. Fit: comfortable but still fresh and young. Style: classic. How many suits do I have that already have polka dots on them? It's not worth the embarrassment of sharing. But do I stop looking at them? Of course not. Each year they are just different enough to call my name again and again...Brides, I know you're on the hunt too and I would steer you toward my alma mater, J. Crew. They never disappoint. Look smokin' on your honeymoon and skip the trendy metallics and crazy sequins, or the disappearing seats of bikini bottoms. Go with fresh sophistication :)

My two favorites?  The Marina-striped ring bandeau suit and The Annik-stripe string bikini.  In LOVE.  I wish they carried more swim wear at their stores...

What to wear...Elie Tahari Resort 2012

Elie Tahari went exotic for their 2012 Resort collection, finding inspiration in Marrakesh's easy wear kaftans, hot desert colors and not to mention turbans. I don't know if you'll ever see me sporting a turban but I assure you white, white and more white is what this season is all about and I will enjoy every moment of it!

Gown Friday: Marchesa Spring 2012

Ah, Marchesa can do no wrong.  And this dreamy dress above is my absolute favorite.  Gorgeous sweetheart neckline and a fabulous skirt pouf of tulle--so fun!

See you all next week!

What to wear...Bottega Veneta Resort 2012

Weightless fabrics and a fresh union of soft neutrals & saturated color blocks made me fall for the Bottega Veneta Resort 2012 collection.  These easy breezy shift dresses, and silk pants and blouses couldn't be more effortless chic.  Gorgeous.  Add this to my daydream list: check.
