Bandage

This year, I’ve seen more bandage dresses than I have seen in a while. I really like them. Bandage dresses are cute, fit well and you can wear them to a night out in the town with the girls, formal events such as weddings and cocktail parties, and so much more.

Its simplicity makes them easy to use while resting assure you made the right choice. Since I wore this Guess by Marciano dress (similar here and here) to a wedding ceremony outside, it worked great to dance the night away. I paired it with a JCrew crystal circle necklace, simple silver stud earrings. The necklace has a gold chain so I added my favorite Michael Kors watch, Stella & Dot renegade bracelet, vintage clutch and Max Azria heels.

Georgetown Fashion Night Out 2012

I’m so glad the rain decided to be kind to us and let us enjoy a night full of fashion, new trends, cocktails and fun! So many stores to see and so little time. This year, I made sure to stop at CUSP by Neiman Marcus to start the night with cupcakes, light refreshments, the newest fall fashion trends and music.

I continued to make my way into Georgetown to the M Street stores, while glancing at the “red carpet” photo shoot happening outside Banana Republic and then veering off to Wisconsin Avenue.

No matter how much I wanted to showcase some of my fall fashion statements, I had to keep it cool as the weather in DC is still in the humid/high heat side, thus I decided to wear an Adrienne Vittadini chains dress, JCrew Martina patent wedges, Michael Kors gold watch, Stella & Dot renegade bracelet, Mint Julep bracelet and a Reiss blush bag.

As the night continued, I made my way to the Wisconsin Avenue stores starting with Lou Lou, where I found supercute stud earrings and fun cards, and finally reaching one of my favorite Georgetown stores, Urban Chic.

While enjoying a cocktail with my friend Angelica and looking through the new arrivals at Urban Chic, I found a dreamy Rebecca Minkoff blazer, which I was lucky to have Inslee Haynes from Inslee by Design draw a sketch of my outfit. It was the perfect Fashion Night Out! I’m so glad, I was able to get this opportunity, I’ve been seeing her designs all over Pinterest and I’ve become a fan of her drawings!

Everyone was having a great time, including Urban Chic fairies and Guest of a Guest Becca Thorsen and Sophie Pyle. What a great night! We ended up at Bandolero for late night cocktails and delish food!

Summer whites are always a classic. If you’re thinking of a beach summer party outfit, how about you try something like this? A simple chic white tube dress and candy-striper strappy sandals. It’s both casual and summer perfect.
