A warm welcome to my newest sponsor: Lilac Bijoux. This source for on-trend, affordable jewelry features designers like Gorjana, Loren Hope, and Betty Carre. Here are some of my favorites:
Between the wedding venues, cocktail dresses, cake samples and late-night Pinterest inspiration, nuptials are certainly stressful for the bride-to-be. But once invitations start landing in mailboxes, the stress is passed along to friends who are now standing in front of their closets wondering what to wear.
Buying a new frock for each event isn’t realistic for most of us. It’s a much more modern – and fiscally responsible – approach to choose one beautiful, versatile vintage dress. I’m fond of this brocade stunner from J.Crew that goes from destination wedding to formal affair with ease.
For the beach: Pair the dress with a raffia clutch (you could splurge on the Anya Hindmarch version or go with a ultra-affordable vintage one on eBay), a bold boho necklace and flat metallic sandals.
For a formal affair: Refined shapes in punchy colors keep your look for being too stuffy. Try a pair of pumps in a matching color, introduce a contrasting color with your clutch, and top it off with dainty earrings and a cocktail ring.

Who are we kidding? Any lawn game is more fun after a bottle of wine (in this adorable Kate Spade case, of course).
I’ve been seeing Lele Sadoughi’s jewelry pop up at more retailers lately and I’m thrilled that she’s getting the recognition she deserves for her incredible line. You can even preview her new celestial-inspired collection on Moda Operandi. I’m smitten with the “Meteor Shower” necklace. I can’t afford it now, but it doesn’t mean I’m not saving my pennies for its late-summer release.
You can learn more about Lele in her “Behind the Baubles” feature.
