Z Spoke by Zac Posen (Current Obsession)

Currently gushing over? Z Spoke, Zac Posen’s secondary line. It has an all-around feminine feel to it, is fun and playful-basically a less schizophrenic version of the Marc by Marc Jacobs line. The current assortment is marked by vivid colors and simple details. Simply put by a salesperson at Saks this weekend, “it’s lunch clothes”, as in ladies who lunch. And it really is.

The collection is conservative as far as coverage goes but many of the styles are nice and body-con, so you can maintain a little bit of a sassy edge. Classy yet sassy! I love it. There are standout items as well as easy basics that make a nice foundation for a great look. Some of my favorite items are below.

Elegant Looks for Evening Weddings

Wedding season is here and this time we are addressing dressing for evening weddings. In the last post we covered daytime appropriate wedding attire. I personally love evening weddings. There’s something about the candlelight and evening setting that just screams romance.  Besides, who doesn’t love to get dressed up?

A black dress is very appropriate for an evening wedding and one that comes to mind instantly, but I love this Acne Lou Lou wrap-front satin dress {$300}. This beautiful wrap dress is an elegant way to wear a bright color instead of your classic black dress. The black belt gives this dress a chic evening look. With such a bold colored dress keep the accessories simple. Check out Christian Louboutin’s Anna Strass Sandals {$895} to add a bit of sparkle to the outfit. Erickson Beamon’s Crystal Snowflake earrings {$255} compliment the shoes and add a bit of fun to the overall look. For a simple yet elegant clutch check out this one from  Sondra Roberts black {$88}.

Long dresses are always appropriate for evening weddings. Printed dresses are especaily beautiful such as this  Zac Posen’s Rosson printed silk gown {$868}. Since the print is so bold pair with simple gold sandals like these  Jimmy Choo’s Suave mirrored-leather sandals {$595} for a chic touch. Complete the look with this beautiful  Soft Bow Wristlet clutch from BCBG Max Azria {$98}.

Evening weddings are fun to dress for, as you can channel you inner movie-star. Have fun creating your own evening wedding look.
