time to accessorize {2 month mark}

Whenever I find myself wondering where should I be in the planning process I refer to Brides magazine. In every issue they have a countdown, and so far it hasn't failed me. At the 2 month mark it suggests:

• discuss ceremony readings and songs with officiant... check! We'll be doing that next week
• Check your state's requirement for a marriage license... need to do this.
• Mail the invitations.... they're arriving THIS WEEK! woohoo!
• Do a hair and make-up trial.... need to schedule, and at least I know who I'm using ;-)
• Order or make the favors... oye, this will be a task.... stay tuned for a future post on this one.
• Accessorize your look!

The last bullet point is what I'm doing today- accessorize your look! Check out some of my inspiration!

A little clutch to hold gloss & other make-up:

Diamonds vs. crystals.... who can tell the difference? Either way, both of these chandelier earrings are fabulous:

Since I'm not wearing a statement necklace, I think a statement cuff will do.... especially one like this!

Belts and sashes are very in this season. Although I'm not wearing one, I really love these:

So brides-to-be.... how do you plan on accessorizing your look??

Kate Spade Statement Bridal Accessories

I can't get enough of Kate Spade. Really really. I wore a statement Kate Spade necklace on my wedding day and seem to have gathered quite a collection by now. Kate Spade is always my go-to accessory designer when I need something awesome to complete my outfit.

These are my favorite pieces from her summer collection and the new fall collection from Kate Spade.

And just for good measure I have thrown in my newest favorite accessory, this gem ring in a bevy of amazing colors. And since purple is my go-to fall obsession, that's my favie!
