Playing Dress-Up With The Stylist LA

Hands-down (and probably not surprisingly), my favorite childhood pastime was playing dress-up.  I had a box full of old dance recital costumes (from my short-lived tap and ballet career…), 80’s style dresses from my mom, and accessories that could keep me occupied for hours.  I once even had a “tea party birthday” where all of my friends and I dressed up and had “high tea.”  Fast forward twenty or so years later, and I still love playing dress up (especially when it involves fourteen great girls and a hair and makeup team that makes you feel fab).  Whether it’s a wedding, work event, New Year’s Eve, or any random cocktail party, give me a sparkly dress and heels and I’m one happy gal.

With wedding season upon us, I figured there would be no better time to share these fun photos from the day.  If you’ve got a few weddings (and showers, parties, bachelorette weekends, etc.) on the horizon, don’t blow your budget on a ton of new dresses.  Every stunning dress above was provided by The Stylist LA, a favorite site of mine for borrowing amazing dresses.  Get familiar with the site to save yourself a ton of headaches, and if you’re in the LA area, don’t miss out on their summer sample sale, happening this week!  They’ll be selling their gently-used dresses, and Ashley, Kathleen and I will be selling new and like-new pieces from our own closets.  Hope you guys can make it!
