Swanky Soiree {Bad Girl}

Well as if you hadn't already guessed it, the second half to the title of yesterday's post is Bad Girl. So, I'm taking today's Bad Girl theme totally rocker. Deep red and black with splashes of lace and studs. What could be better right? While pretty white lace flocked yesterday's post, I feel nothing is more rocker than black lace. Check out the top to that dress. Gorgeous! Imagine worn with those studded Christian Louboutins. I would die! What I think makes a wedding totally rock n' roll is taking traditional details and giving them a tough twist. Take that crochet chandelier for example. By making it out of black yarn, it takes on a completely different feel. I'm kind of obsessing over this rock n' roll theme! It really makes me want to rock on! Cheesy pun I know....

Swanky Soirée {Good Girl}

In case you haven't read your September issues yet, a huge trend/feature title, is Good Girl vs.... (the ellipsis, yes I know I'm cool because I actually know the name of it, is there because the second half of that trend is coming tomorrow). And what is more good girl than an all white wedding. Plus it's absolutely stunning. Hello, are you looking at the white tent with the strings of lights in the bottom corner. Talk about gorgeous! And that wall of white flowers is beyond! The key to an all white wedding though, lots of texture. Mix in lace, ruffles, chiffon, and silks to keep the monochromatic pallet interesting. Otherwise it might just look plain. And a plain party is simply just not as fun! 

Swanky Soiree {Emerald}

As I'm sure you all are aware, Fashion's Night Out and Fall Fashion Week are right around the corner. And as I promised last week on Twitter, I have a new, exciting post theme for you. Once a week, I will be giving you some inspiration based on one of Fall's hottest trends. This week, the winner is emerald. Ever since Mila Kunis wore that amazing emerald gown to the Golden Globes last year, I've been obsessed with the color. And, I'm so excited that it is a must have color for Fall. 

For a party, I'm imagining patterned, emerald linens, topped with amazing shiny gold dishes. I'm seeing luscious centerpieces of either peonies or anemones. Bring in a little more emerald with a complementing patterned napkin also in emerald and maybe even an emerald colored signature cocktail. Seeing as there are no emerald liquors or mixers, grab your food coloring because I can't imagine something chicer than sipping on an emerald cocktail with maybe a nice big emerald on your finger...
