Weddings: The Beautiful Bohemian


mara hoffman weddingHow stunning is this photo?  Mara Hoffman, a runway favorite for her exotic prints and wanderlusty designs, is offering a bridal collection that take the road less traveled for windswept wedding moment.

Not getting married anytime soon – or again? – many of the pieces from her “Devotion” (which I love) collection are totally appropriate for a beach vacation or sunnier days!

Here are a few favorites:

It’s a White Out


I have never worn a white dress.

I have worn a white tunic, millions of white tank tops and tees, but never a white dress. Not on my wedding day, and not even on my Confirmation ( wore a white pencil skirt and a white top – I was a real dare devil).

But it is officially summer, and while a LBD (little black dress) is seasonless and timeless, summer heat and happy hours really do beg for white. I have searched my favorite search site, sorry Google, ShopStyle.com to find my favorite dresses in white for the season.
Cilla Dress – French Connection
I love this for a casual wedding perhaps, or summer party. I could also see this being great for a shower/rehearsal dinner/brunch.

Marilyn Dress by Kimchi Blue – Urban Outfitters

I love a shirt dress. And I love an open back. This little dress, which is now on sale, is the best of both worlds – and despite being white is crying out for a BBQ party!
Ponti-Roma Pencil Dress – Asos.com
This dress is a for white hot glam moment. It is styled after a dress Victoria Beckham wore and to wear it in white is to really make a statement (wearing it in red, the other option, isn’t exactly for the faint of heart either). I think this would be perfect for a cocktail party, special date night – maybe the W roof top?
Criss Cross Jersey Maxi Dress – Asos.com
I love the ease of this style. It is very “so Florida”. I would pack this away for a day-to-night honeymoon option, or consider this for a casual summer houseparty; ie house warming sometime in August/September.Well, I know what to wear now I just need to find some events.
