Diana's Bridal Shower




My best friend Diana  got married for the second time this past weekend  (Because if at first you don't succeed, try again damnit!) Can't believe it came so fast!
In honor of that, we ( myself, our dear friend Danielle, the bride's sister and my dear friend Corinne, the bride's mom Ann and mother in law Jackie) got together a garden/boho chic type of bridal shower three weeks ago.  We kept it relatively small with a lot of DIY touches and a homemade buffet. Here are some highlights from that afternoon. 
Hopefully you can find some inspiration for an outdoor gathering you might be planning!

Congratulations to the beautiful bride! We love you!

My best friend is getting married tomorrow!!! We had the rehearsal luncheon today and I wanted to post a quick outfit of the day.
I have her bridal shower pictures and tomorrow I'm sure there will be plenty of wedding pictures as well - all coming this week! Until then, please check out my dress,  but don't judge the steamer and mass of handbags in the background. lol

Enjoy your weekend folks.....gorgeous weather we're having!

- V.V. 

Ahoy!




So my friend Clascy, (yep, that's her real name!) says she'd like to celebrate her birthday by driving out East to Montauk. She had never been and it was on her bucket list. 
My two reactions in this order:

1) "LOBSTAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"
2) "I must plan my outfit!!!!"

Nautical town calls for a nautical outfit. What would consist of a nautical outfit for me
Navy blue & white anything (and some red) and there must be a stripe in sight!
Since I knew we would be by the water and it would be a relaxing day, I wanted to dress comfortably, but still look like a local......even though I'm totally NOT local. When in Rome...know what I mean?

And because I think I'm a Real Housewife (I'm not), I think I'm rich (I'm really not),  I live and die for all things nautical, stripes, lobster, boats, sweaters thrown over the shoulder, The Hamptons and Montauk, my friend made a joke that I found my mother ship today. LOL
Sounds about right! 

Anyhoo - here are some fun  shots from today and some pics of the outfit I chose. By the way, I realized when I got dressed this morning, the husband was at work and there wasn't a photographer within a 5 mile radius. I got into selfie mode for a few of these. Sorry!


Lipstick:  M.A.C. "Pet Me Please" - Aquatic Collection
Nails: Butter London "Cotton Buds"
Cat Eye Sunglasses (my current new obsession)
H&M Sweater (sold out) Similar Here
Watch
Pendant Necklace (I have this in gold and silver - kind obsessed, Kinda wear them with EVERYTHING!)
MK Knot Ring (several years ago)
Bag (Last Year)  I believe the black and white stripe is available this year)
Sandals

































































































































































COMPLETELY PHOTO BOMBED BY THIS DIMWIT!!





THE BIRTHDAY GIRL! <3
































































I think this picture sums me up quite nicely!
















































It was a fabulous day with fabulous weather and of course, fabulous company.
Every time I visit the Hamptons and Montauk, it just gets sweeter.

Happy Birthday Clascy! Lets do it again before Summer's end! xo
