What To Wear: Wedding Series

It's that time of year! Weddings are happening left and right...and bridal showers, and rehearsal dinners and wild nights out on the town for the bachelorette party, engagement parties, so many parties! Weddings aren't just about that one special day. Weddings are basically a year long celebration of one couple, or two, or more! This past weekend, three of my friends got engaged!! Love is in the air, which is fantastical, I love weddings! Crazy exciting stuff, and now with so many people getting married in my life, I now I have weddings on the brain, even more than when I first planned this post. Basically, aside from saving for new swimsuits and a beach bag, it's really all about spending a little cash on the wedding wardrobe for the spring/summer season. If you are the BFF of the bride and looking for a great piece for the rehearsal dinner, look no further. Or, maybe you are a plus one that is meeting the bride and groom for the first time on the big day, and you just want to look pretty and turn some heads (but for all the right reasons). Here are all the dresses to make you look stunning, classy, and ready for some wedding fun. And, remember, if you aren't in the bridal party, it's always a good idea to find out the color of the bridesmaids dresses before you show up to the wedding. The last thing you need is to look like you are trying to squeeze yourself into the wedding photos ;) I am off to my next wedding at the end of this month, for my girlfriend Dani's wedding, and I am still trying to decide on my dress for the day. Which of these do you suggest?? The evening reception is at a beautiful country club and it's black tie optional. Z will be wearing his black tux and coral is not an option! xo RCN

 

Oscars Best Dressed

The 2017 Oscars red carpet looks continued a trend this awards season filled with looks reminiscent of historic fashion alongside new, bold sparkle and shapes. Ruffled necklines and exaggerative full skirts nod to a past era, while cape-like and streamlined silhouettes, drenched in modern glitz, look to the now. I'll take it all, whether influenced by the old or new. My top twelve, best dressed ladies, all looked absolutely fabulous in the purest of white, red, buttery gold, and the forever and always black. Congrats to all nominees! 

Big congrats to these ladies for a standout appearance on the red carpet! Click through image to link back to E red carpet coverage details. xo RCN

Golden Globes 2017: Top 12

There were an array of gowns last night that were dreamy, straight out of a fairy tale. Many were delicately embellished and created with chiffon, fine tulle, ruffles, peplums, and tiered layering. The stand out looks all had a softness and sparkling, romantic, delightful touch that paired well with the magic of the evening. 

 No doubt, there are always some amazing styles and some tragic looks on the carpet. And, all of us watching have opinions about it, of course. The dresses that have a little something extra and stand-out, slightly, or those that nail down classic elegance, tend to be my favorites. After all, I love a great fashion risk or a stunningly classy lady. Here are some of my picks for the most fabulous gowns and looks from last night. Congrats to all the style winners. My number one goes to Felicity Jones in Gucci and a close follow up with Drew Barrymore in Monique Lhullier. What was you favorite gown? Leave a note in comments below! xo RCN
