The SHG – Your Best Friends Wedding!

imageIt’s wedding season and many of us have a good friend or even a BFF that’s tying the knot this summer.


We know it’s rude to try and upstage the bride, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still dress to impress (afterall, we may meet our own Prince Charming there!). Just keep silhouettes simple but striking and add a little bit of bling that’ll help you stand out in your accessories.


ThisNext Lifestyle Tastemaker, Jo Gartin, inspires us with her picks on getting ready for your best friends bridal bash in style. Check out her favorite dresses and accessories by clicking over to her Summer Weddings! collection.

This weeks destination inspiration? Tel Aviv! Here’s what Stephanie Johnson had to say about it –


“My husband is from Israel and we head to Tel Aviv nearly every summer to visit family. Tel Aviv boasts fabulous beaches but is also decidedly urban with style to match. Here are some of my favorite picks for both day and night!”

The SHG – Blake Lively’s Red Hair!

But with such a unique hair color, what does one wear to match it? It takes a confident women to rock the red locks, but we don’t want to end up looking like we ran away with the circus either. No worries! We asked Rona O’Connor herself and she put together a collection of beauty and fashion items that’ll really make your red ‘do standout in a good way!

Nothing says ‘hot’ in spring and summer like ‘white hot’! A crisp, bright white is immediately a luxe look for a sunny day and even more glamorous when paired with metallic details like gold and silver!
