Saturday Style | One Dress, Two Ways

Saturday Style | One Dress, Two Ways

 

This week’s Saturday Style was inspired by Mother’s Day. What are you wearing? Chances are, you may be going to brunch and for a day of shopping or relaxing, so I’ve put together two outfits from one dress.  Outfit one is definitely more dressy but I love a pop of color with a nude or neutral. Maybe you’re doing to a nice evening out, or a fancy brunch? The look is entirely from Zara and the shoes are only $50 dollars – we’re obsessed. Look two, is definitely a bit more casual and adds a touch of edgy cool to an overall chic look with the leather jean jacket by Rag & Bone.  Felixs + Adrik has amazing unique accessories I definitely encourage you to check out if you haven’t already. She’s a talented designer and a long time friend of mine. While you don’t have any bold colors in look two, it’s safe to pair a bright lip for a little pop of color. I love a great red lipstick – tres chic!
Wishing you a stylish weekend with your Mother, or if you’re a mom, enjoy and I hope you are filled with all the love in the world. You deserve it. XO, SWP

{A Conversation with Drew Barrymore}

I had the honor of listening to the amazing Drew Barrymore at Lucky FABB a few weeks back and I’m very excited to share it with you. After meeting Drew and seeing her in person, it’s safe to say that almost every girl in the room left with a girl crush. She has a way of making everyone feel special. In fact, she even made us feel as though we were the cool ones, as bloggers now have the power. Imagine that..

She launched her beauty line, Flower Beauty, which I posted on before. She spoke to Lucky Magazine’s Editor In Chief on life, babies, motherhood, beauty and how she manages to do it all. That lovable character that we all adore in the movies is exactly who she is in real life. Watch for yourself. Not to mention, cute outfit! Drew, we just love you…

I hope you enjoy! XXX, SWP

{SWP Goes Wedding For The Day}

a soolip wedding

As you know, I don’t cover weddings, but I was invited to an event that was too good to pass up. A Soolip Wedding, the highly anticipated modern bridal annual event, returned to Los Angeles at the prestigious Bel Air Bay Club last Sunday. The vision of gracious-living guru Wanda Wen, A Soolip Wedding has established notoriety as one of the wedding industry’s most prolific events. I was very excited to attend and see the beauty brought together from so many different vendors all surrounding the theme, “Crystal Showers, Eternal Flowers.”

One of the highlight as included a fashion show from America’s most established jeweler, Black, Starr & Frost, and a fashion showing of avant-garde bridal couture line, St. Pucchi, food and small bites from Good Gracious, and really beautiful, artifully designed cakes from Charm City Cakes. The event was also sponsored by Town & Country Weddings.

I’m not close to getting married (at least I don’t think) but know exactly what I need if I need to do so. More event coverage to come and if you are getting married, make sure to check out Soolip Weddings for beautiful stationary and wedding suggestions.

XOXO, SWP

{White On White}

It’s summer and whites are back bigger than ever. What’s not to love about an all white palate?  Complimented with lace, sheer materials, and rouging, and all white look adds sweetness and a romantic feel to your mood.  An all white look is done often with length, such as a long maxi or a beautiful flowy dress to gallivant around in.  I’ve chosen some of my favorite pieces for you  — get in on the trend below.

1. Borgue Shoes — Top Shop // 2. Earrings — Top Shop // 3. Alexander Wang / Satin Long Dress — La Garconne

4. Eighteenth Descending Hem Top — Bona Drag // 5. Tsumori Chisato / Ruffled Halter Dress — La Garconne // 6. Melisa Obadash White Brimmed Hat — Stylebop.com
