what to wear to a wedding in August

It’s pretty fair to say that by the middle of August most of us are tired of our summer wardrobe. You stand looking into your closet feeling very uninspired as you try to find something to wear to a wedding you have this weekend. Walk Away! Go out and buy yourself a new dress that can easily work itself into your Fall wardrobe. The Julie Haus dress is perfection. It’s in one of Fall’s hottest color, Plum, and can be worn in a million different ways. When the weather gets colder you can pair it with opaque stockings and pumps. Or you can make it more funky by throwing on some boots. We’re loving this dress with layered gold necklaces; they will hang beautifully subtly emphasizing your assets. It’s sensual, rich, and sophisticated. We love the alluring quality of this outfit - it doesn’t give it all away at first glance. It will draw them in time and time again, and the wonderment will be infectious. Success!!

    Gabrielle Sanchez’s designs bring out the true nature of the material she is using. Any embellishment she utilizes is to facilitate the inner beauty of the piece. The jewels have a sensuous, earthy feel, as well as a refreshing whimsical spirit. They are unexpected and not a bit ordinary, providing warmth and light to anyone who wears them. Spring and summer season is all about embracing the elements of nature, and fashion designers are always inspired by it. We think Gabrielle’s jewels will work beautifully with the styles for next season, and it is a brilliant way to complete your look.
