Would You Wednesday: Is White Alright?

Several brides have recently decked their wedding parties out in white (Kate, Kate, Kim). I’ve been a fan of this look for quite some time, but it seems to be shocking to some, however, this is nothing new in British culture. It is said that traditionally, the bridesmaids and other attendants wore white so as to “confuse” and ward off evil spirits. Alright, well, that’s a little ridiculous, but there’s no denying it– an all white wedding party looks incredibly fresh and chic. So what about your wedding guests?

When the first wedding photos from Kim’s wedding emerged, there was much buzz regarding Lindsay Lohan in a sexy white Jenny Packham gown. I thought to myself, “Go figure. It’s Lindsay Lohan.” Thankfully, it was soon released that said wedding had a “black and white” dress code, so Lindsay wasn’t being her typically sloppy self. Phew! There’s one thing Kim K and I can agree on. I love a good dress code. That’s all we’ve got though. Anyway, what I am really wondering about is whether or not you think wearing white to a wedding other than your own is a major fashion faux pas. Thoughts?

Here comes the bridesmaid!

Why Did You Wear That: Soak It In

A month or so ago, I had the pleasure of staying at the Napa River Inn and while the entire place was quite magical, one of my favorite parts was the beautiful claw foot bathtub. To be honest, the only thing better than soaking all your troubles away in a beautiful big tub with fizzy bath salts is doing so with a big fizzy glass of sparkling wine. While I couldn’t document said activities on WhyDid without getting a stern email from my father, I couldn’t pass up the chance to snap some photos of this beautiful (and my dream) bathroom.

Lace pants and a silky top were perfectly sexy and sophisticated for a romantic Saturday night dinner in Napa (not so much for a bath). Accessorized with shiny metallic sandals and my go to bangles for just the right amount of sparkle.

That’s the only time Smitty has been anxious to hop in the tub, FYI.

Setting the Mood: Black or White

I always say that most things in life are incredibly black and white. I don’t really like dancing around in the grey area. In my experience, that leads to nothing but trouble. There’s something so magical about black and white photos. The playing of shadows against the subject. The contrast. Sucking out the colors to nothing but black and white can take your average photo from amateur to amazing. The same can be said about your clothing as well. While some might associate black and white with waiter wear, I think wearing something so simple conveys confidence and understated glamour.

Just a perfect examples of how opposites complement each other.

Why Did You Wear That: The Bride Wore White

It should be clear by now that I’m not a huge fan of Kim Kardashian.  I am, however, a huge fan of Vera Wang.  In case you’ve been living under a rock (or you happen to spend your time bettering your mind by reading books rather than watching E! News), you are well aware that Kim will be donning Vera for her big day.  You would also know that a custom Vera Wang gown would set you back at least a cool $10K.  Luckily, when your wedding budget is a mere $29 million, ten grand is nothing!

But for the rest of us, a ten thousand dollar dress might hurt our wallets.  No need to worry though.  Earlier this year, Vera Wang partnered with David’s Bridal to create a more affordable option for blushing brides everywhere.  White by Vera Wang ranges from $600-$1400 and looks like it could sit on the rack right next to her luxury bridal line.  So, if you’re in the market for a beautiful bridal gown, or you just like to look, check out White by Vera Wang for David’s Bridal:

Congrats to the newlyweds.

Weekend Playlist: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Every girl loves an official “girls night out” but my very favorite part of these nights is what happens before you even step stillettoed foot out the front door.  The best part of a girls night out is primping in the mirror, sipping on cocktails, and possibly a good bit of girl talk.  Perhaps I’m showing my age, but I almost enjoy a “girls night in” more than out… Either way, having a perfect playlist to kick off the night is crucial.

Cheers!
