Wedding Diary Month 6: The Thick of It

Hello from almost the halfway point of wedding planning! At this point, we're over six months in and a little over 7 months away from the big day. I shared a little diary of what we had done so far after one month so I wanted to stop in and share where we're at now. We're officially on some of the big things!

Letters Only

When it comes to accessories, I've always been more of a shoe person than a purse person. I've had a habit of re-using the same bag every day for long periods of time, and I usually forget about others that I own. However, something changed recently, and I'm suddenly being drawn to more interesting bags and growing my collection. It helps that there seem to be cute purses everywhere I look lately. 

Because of my new obsession, I was thrilled to get to style a bag from Vendula London - a UK based brand that makes the most darling novelty bags. In addition to being adorable, all of their bags are vegan/animal-friendly, so I love that I carry this without needing to feel bad. 

I was immediately drawn to this post pox satchel because it felt like such a fun, quirky style, but still easy enough to style with a variety of outfits. I actually spend a lot of time at the post office (usually because I'm sending out Poshmark orders, but also because we're mailing out Save the Dates at the moment) so I also think I have a soft spot for it. The bag ended up being even cuter in person, and it's the perfect size. Whenever I'm not carrying my camera, I prefer smaller bags, so I like that this one can hold everything I need without being too large. 

Side note: Is it just me, or does this bag also give you a little big of a Harry Potter vibe? I'm not sure why, considering they use owls instead of post offices, but I still feel like this would be the perfect addition to my outfit whenever I finally get around to going to Wizarding World.

Flowers, Polka Dots, and Bows

I meant to blog this earlier in the week, but I've been slacking! However, Friday was mostly off for me as the day after the 4th of July, and I used it to be productive. Well, I was a little productive while binging all of season 3 of Stranger Things. However, I'm also using the time to catch up on posts I've been meaning to blog, starting with this dress. 

Smak Parlour has quickly become one of my all-time favorite brands, mostly because in addition to cute, retro dresses, they're also all incredibly comfy. I've slowly been collecting dresses from the brand, and this mock bow shirt style of dress is one of my favorites. I was really excited about this new print of it, and it didn't disappoint. Flowers, polka dots, and a bow? You can't go wrong. It's one of those dresses that I know I can easily throw on for the office, and all of the work is already done for me. 

I love that Smak Parlour is a small, women-run company, which makes sense why they would know how to design flattering styles (and with pockets, obviously). I definitely recommend checking out their newest collection!
