Happy Hour: Wedding Weekend Libations

Aug 30, 2019

Where did the time go? Β One day, we were engaged. Β Then, we were booking venues. Β And now, after months of planning, it is officially my wedding weekend. Β It feels incredibly surreal to type that phrase.

The Blushing Bride cocktail is a super simple, perfectly peachy drink. Β However, I’m not a big fan of the peach schnapps (too sweet) that most recipes include, so I replace it with Deep Eddy peach-flavored vodka. Β Add the splash of good quality grenadine, and your cocktail is complete.

This Ulla Johnson dress was on my wedding wish list for a bit. Β Sadly, weddings are already expensive and destination weddings, more expensive. Β So a $700 dress just wasn’t in the cards; it’s beautiful though.

I opted to wear a white dress that I already owned, but if I hadn’t, this Seen Worn Kept Anglaise Eyelet dress and under-$75 Farrow Smocked Dress were both on my list. Β Plus-size? Β This Shein dress with lace accents is really beautiful.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
