And now for my most up to date favorites:

Sigh, more to narrow down.

Ann Taylor engagement sess inspiration

I love pretty much all Ann Taylor advertising campaigns, and think the current Fall 2011 ads are gorgeous and perfect inspiration for my engagement session.

I found those shots on FabSugar.  Then it led me to these beautiful dresses by the H&M Conscious Collection.

And my dress...

Bridesmaid Dresses

Bill Levkoff, Bari Jay...

My favorite of the moment is the Dessy Collection and their awesome mash up with Pantone.

There are some cool other ones.  I'll have to look for the After Six line at Irma's.

What to Wear

Classic conundrum.  What to wear to a wedding?  This weekend we have a summer evening wedding at an upscale country club. In three weeks we have a summer afternoon wedding at a church, followed by an evening reception at an upscale country club.  I am debating between bridesmaid dresses that I own, or a maxi dress, or more of a cocktail dress.  Hmmm.  Looked online for some guidance, and here is what I found!

Beach Wedding.
