Shopping with Melissa
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! You’ll be happy to hear that I’ve got plenty of new images of me creating my ‘save the date’ cards, which will be posted early next week. Hopefully some of you will get some inspiration to create your own!
In the meantime, I’d like to show you some of the items on my wishlist from some of my favorite stores. I often get asked by friends and strangers about where I like to shop, so I thought this would be a fun way for you to get a glimpse into my life. While some items are wedding related (this is a wedding blog afterall), most are everyday items. As per usual, I spent hours browsing online for the greatest finds, so I hope you love them as much as I do.
I must say that I am in love with the following two palettes, which I routinely turn to when deciding what to wear or purchase. The color gray grounds an outfit while the white and pink/teal act as a nice complement. Anyone can tell that I LOVE the color gray. It’s softer than black and it can be easily paired with just about any hue.
Here’s a great example of one of the color palettes in a outfit put together by J. Crew .
And on with the items..
Anything with draping or ruffles are my friend. I really like the draping detail on the front of this Lively Mist top available at Anthropologie. I would definitely pair this with a medium-dark wash, bootcut jean with a soft pink knit sweater. For a night out, a black tuxedo styled blazer would do just fine!
I am a big fan of anything that combines feminine & hard details, like this braided metal/mesh bracelet from Anthropologie.
My new obsession are necklaces finished off with a textured ribbon. J.Crew has always been my go-to store for necklaces of this nature. It’s charming when the ribbon’s bow peeks out of a blazer or sweater when the hair is pulled back.
These Seychelles Teardrop slingbacks from Urban Outfitters have been something I’ve been eyeing for quite some time now. They’ve just been restocked because of their popularity, which isn’t surprising as they’re just lovely. With all the craze of pairing colored shoes with wedding dresses, I’d love to see someone do that with these!
Until my next shopping episode (which might come sooner than I think)…
happy planning!
