Ah, I love award show season. Seriously! It’s my version of football season. If there was a bar that played all the award shows, where people cheered when they saw a dress they loved and grunted when they saw one they didn’t, I’d be there in a heartbeat. Unfortunately no thing exists (at lease that I know of!) And so, I’m left to watch all the ladies (and gentlemen!) stroll down the red carpet all by my lonesome self. With only the company of a jar of Dulce de Leche Ice Cream. Yes, I admit it. Almost as fun as that is being able to pick out my favorites and share it with all you lovely readers. Here are my picks:
I love color but sometimes black is just the way to go. Amber Heard must have taken my advice (because you know, we like talk ALL the time) because she looked absolutely fabulous in this cut-out Zac Posen gown. On the other side of the spectrum was Emily Blunt shining like a big giant emerald in this amazing one-shoulder Oscar de la Renta gown. That slit is beyond.
Lea Michele almost always makes my best dressed lists. The girl has got some style! This light colored Versace gown was almost spot on. I’d also like to comment on her hair–so simple yet perfect. As for Rose Byrne, we all loved her in Bridesmaids but I’m especially loving her outfit choice. It’s cool to see someone wearing something other than a gown. Plus, you can never go wrong with Elie Saab. I’m still waiting for that Elie Saab Haute Couture dress to land on my doorstep. (Are you listening to me, Elie Saab gods?)
I’ve never been a huge fan of Jayma Mays character in Glee, but I AM a fan of this glittery number by Reem Acra the actress decided to wear to this years’ SAG Awards. The silhouette alone is amazing. Judy Greer also looked fabulous in this white Colette Dinnigan gown. I smell wedding dress?
Do you agree with my picks? If not, which was your favorite look of the night?

With so much planning going on, a bride-to-be can often forget random things like, what she’ll wear for her rehearsal dinner. That same bride may think, “Bleh! Who cares! I get to wear an amazing dress the day after anyway!” Okay, she may not really be thinking that because who doesn’t like another excuse to dress up?! But still, things can get hectic and she may be scrambling at the last minute to pick out an outfit. But have no fear, bridal stylist is here!
Any Brooklyn brides out there? Keep it cool with a casual, yet lovely fitting Rebecca Taylor dress, some wicked A Peace Treaty earrings, Jimmy Choo platforms, and a cute little purse by Pieces.
Wanna keep it simple? How about a light colored Alice and Olivia fitted dress, a geometric statement necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane, an awesome Lanvin clutch, topped off with some basic black pumps.
Remember ladies, the little back dress is always an option! This cap sleeved ASOS dress won’t break the bank and will looking amazing with some red suede Miu Miu pumps, a Zebra-printed Diane von Furstenberg clutch and some big Citrine by The Stones earrings.
Dying for some color? This Lela Rose dress is beyond words. With some yellow Manolo’s, a very colorful clutch from Matthew Williamson, and some Vanessa Mooney mood earrings, you’ll be the center of attention. Just like you should!

Brides Magazine asked our take on the latest accessory trends in bridal and it took us no time to answer…The Bridal Cap!! We love this trend and had several versions come into Lovely and sell within the day, so we know our cool, chic brides get it first! Aside from Kate Moss’s divine cap, here are a few of our other favorites. Whether you wear it over the brow or at the crown of your head, bridal caps look modern and vintage at the same time.

Crochet: Crafster.org
Vintage: The Thirty Something Bride
Dot: Twigs & Honey (available at Lovely!)

Crowns made of flowers are definitely having a moment. And naturally, I’m loving every bit of it.
They give off such a fresh and young appeal that whenever I’ve tried on something similar, I’ve felt as if I’m a little girl again running through the fields picking flowers.
Not sure where this trend originated from (the 1970′s? Lana Del Rey? Who by the way, rocks a banging flower crown in this picture. And in this picture as well.) but I’m thinking almost every bride should rock one. Okay. Maybe I’m exaggerating a bit when I say every bride. But at least some of us, right?!

When we were approached by stylist Leanne Ford about a photoshoot featuring some of our Ivy and Aster dresses at the historic Jane Hotel, we had no idea just how beautiful the results would be. So unconventional, these photos completely blew us away. It’s always inspiring to see how our dresses can take on such different personalities. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photography, Anna Wolfe!
Leanne:
Anna wolf and I have been trying to work together for years now, but have never been in the same city at the same time until this shoot. We just really wanted to play around and do something beautiful and special together. I had a vision to do a shoot with laces, whites, creams and hints of black. I actually stayed at the Jane hotel that week just so we could shoot there! I love the deep colors and great history and style of that hotel.
I had a lot of vintage pieces I was excited to finally shoot, but I also wanted a couple GOWNS. So I knew I had to call Lovely. Lovely boutique has been on my radar since it opened, and I was so excited to finally get to use some of their beautiful pieces and mix them in with my vintage pieces. I just had this vision of a gown and a kimono walking down that hallway.
In my brain I didn’t dream of the gown being peachy, (pink) so amazing! It was even more perfect than I imagined.
We did this shoot in about three hours one week day afternoon. And it has turned out to be one of my favorites! Thank you to Lovely for having such gorgeous dresses to play with!
Let’s play again soon!
