As I started to write this blog post, I realized that my weekend was completely centered around weddings! On Saturday I woke up early to go wedding dress shopping with my friend Katie and her mom Dee in Coral Gables. We are all involved in the non-profit that I told you about here, His Bride. Priscilla of Boston is going out of business and they were having a huge sale in their store. We found six amazing (and new!) dresses, including the beautiful Melissa Sweet dress below, to add to our bridal consignment boutique. All sales will 100% benefit women who are victims of human trafficking and sexual abuse. We are going to be launching our website in the new year, yay!
My outfit: Forever 21 shirt, Gap Always Skinny jeans, Manolo Blahnik sandals, LV Alma tote
Later that night we drove back to Miami for the wedding I told you about on Friday. It was absolutely gorgeous! The bride was beautiful of course and their reception had a very vintage flair. One of my favorite parts was the flamenco dancer who entertained everyone during dinner!
Apparently all of this fun caused me to succumb to the cold that I have been fighting off for several weeks. Hoping it passes by quickly! Have a happy Monday! xoxo
Oh girl I'm right there with you! I spent all last week avoiding it. Now here I am in my bed watching Gilmore Girls blowing my nose to no end. Ridiculous! Feel better!
