Wedding Guest Dresses by Retailer

Need help finding a dress for an upcoming wedding? We’ve rounded up our favorites from Nordstrom, Anthropologie and REVOLVE for you.

SPRING WEDDING GUEST DRESSES

NORDSTROM

Nordstrom is by far the most popular amongst our followers for shopping for wedding dresses! We have to admit that we are a little salty that the Nordstrom here in Richmond closed and haven’t shopped there in a while. BUT, they really do have a great selection of, well, almost everything. So, we hit our old trusty site to find a few favorites for wedding guests and here they are.

I picked a bunch of VERY different style dresses to hopefully appeal to all styles and dress codes.

SPRING WEDDING GUEST DRESSES

REVOLVE

Revolve seems to be a pretty polarizing retailer. You either love it or you hate it. Either way, they have a great selection of wedding guest dresses – including the ones we are wearing in the pic above! (Rebecca’s Saylor Dress, Catherine’s Bardot Dress). Here are a few of our favorite options available right now.

SPRING WEDDING GUEST DRESSES

ANTHROPOLOGIE

I have to admit that it has been a while since I shopped on Anthropologie! But when I polled my instagram followers and asked what their go-to retailers for wedding guest dresses were, so many people said Anthro. And DANG. I have been missing out!!! For a while I have had trouble getting inspired or seeing something that really *wows* me and now I know where all the good stuff has been hiding! There are so many fun occasion dresses and not just from in-house brand BHDLN. Now I just need more special occasions.

Here are a few that really caught my eye, but their whole wedding shop is great.

Blair Eadie’s Atlantic- Pacific x LAKE Collection

The most maximalist pajama collab that LAKE has done since we have been partners.

When we got the email that LAKE was partnering with Blair Eadie for an Atlantic-Pacific x LAKE Collection, we were thrilled. We immediately texted each other to say how stoked we were to see the designs. As LAKE partners, we get to choose a few pieces to try from each collection and choosing which ones we wanted for this was SO hard. I swear, we both stared at the line sheet for hours trying to decide.

It’s just that good.

We were both immediately drawn to the rainbow pieces! Cath decided on the pajama set and I went for the robe. They are like rays of sunshine in our closets (and drawers). We chose the poplin pj sets this time, but of course they have the classic PIMA Cotton pajamas in a special Atlantic-Pacific color combo as well.

We were so excited to bring our pjs with us to our recent trip to Primland’s Auberge Resort and snapped some pix in our cottage. Stay tuned for more photos and video from the trip, it was a good one and the pajamas really brought up the morning vibes.

As always, we only share things here that we REALLY love. So trust us when we say that everything LAKE is worth the price tag.

Olive is wearing the baby Easter pajamas and they are beyond adorable! If the Atlantic-Pacific collection isn’t speaking to you- there is still time to get your Easter pajamas, yall! (Size up for babies, they run a little small. Olive is in 9-12 months).

They have options for all shapes and styles and they are basically always having sales. SO, if these aren’t on sale right now, bookmark the links or save this blog post and come check back in the next few days. Chances are, a sale will be going on!

OR as always, follow me on instagram, because I will let you know when the sales are the best!

ANYWAYS, lets get to the dresses.

EMERSON RUCHED PUFF SLEEVE MINI DRESS

This is a classic Abercrombie style and I have to admit that I just ordered it to “see what it was like.” I didn’t think that I would love it as much as I do! It comes in a few different colors and is SO flattering! A spring must.

Valentine’s Day with Lake Pajamas

I* In case you missed my love letter to LAKE at Christmas time *

I am just absolutely swooooooning over the LAKE Pajamas Valentine’s Day Collection! The lips and the hearts are just too adorable.  LAKE’s super soft PIMA Cotton pjs have become a staple in our house ever since my best friend gave me a pair during pregnancy! We wore them over Christmas as a family (even John had them) and I just think their mommy and me sets too sweet.

I went for the Poplin nightgown for this collection since I have a good number of the sets and it is breathable and cooling and chic. Honestly, it is kind of out of character for me but my style has changed since Olive was born! I’m a sap. I mean, the kisses! It comes in the heart print, too, and both come with matching sets for the little ones. Cath even got the kisses for Phoenix too and I gotta say they are ADORABLE for little boys.

Because I have a little baby Olive napping in my arms right now, I will keep it short and sweet but trust me when I say that any purchase from LAKE is money well spent. Every pair I have is worth the price!

TIS THE SEASON! PAJAMA SEASON.

We have been highlighting gift ideas that we will be gifting / would love to give this year. Like the things we actually have and love. LAKE PAJAMAS are DEFINITELY on that list. We fell in love with LAKE’s Pima Cotton pajamas earlier this year and haven’t looked back. They are BEYOND soft.

I wore them throughout my pregnancy, they have nursing friendly options now, they carried us through the summer and now we are loving their holiday collection! They have pajamas for the whole family. Phoenix and Olive have little matching sets and we are gonna grab a couple of pairs for our husbands this year.

IT’S TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOLIDAY ‘FITS AND BODYSUITS ARE TRENDING IN A BIG WAY!

Honestly it could have gone either way, but….. Bodysuits are flattering. 

Shocked me, honestly!

Amazon Dresses You Need for Winter Under $50

Everything on Amazon may not be trustworthy, but we’ve done the work for you and found some dresses that are 100% TCP approved for you to wear this winter season. These Amazon Dresses under $50 are 5 stars.

And just like that, we are twinning again!

Can you believe it has almost been two years since our first Twinning in Gucci tights post? We sure can’t. But then again, 2020 was practically a wash so it really feels like just a year ago. Even if Cath was 9 months pregnant, haha!

We decided to bring back the twinning vibe and pair our old fave Gucci tights with some Amazon dresses for a recent studio shoot. The contrast of the designer tights with the affordable dresses felt like a fun idea and we gotta say, we love how they turned out. The contrast is fun, not to mention, we love sharing affordable options with you guys.

Catherine is wearing this black tunic dress. Rebecca is wearing this blue turtleneck sweater dress.

Beth Dutton Casual Style: Yellowstone Halloween

If Beth Dutton had an everyday uniform, I think that this would be it. Call it a costume or call it western-inspired style – whatever it is, here it is 🙂

beth dutton style inspoLast year I shared my most visited blog post to date, which was how to recreate Beth Dutton’s style for Halloween.  I chose the big fur coat look and for a whole year you guys have been repeatedly visiting the site.  Is it Beth Dutton’s not give a F attitude or just that we love western inspired style? Maybe both!

Reb’s Favorites: SKIMS Fits Everybody Collection

A real and honest review of the SKIMS Fits Everybody Collection – especially for postpartum bodies.  skims fits everybody

ICYMI: I reviewed six pieces from the SKIMS Cotton Collection during my pregnancy. This was my first experience with SKIMS and it truly lived up to my expectations. I was excited to try some new pieces after Olive was born to get  better idea how they would fit into my day to day and decided to get underwear and bras from the Fits Everybody Collection this time round.

YET AGAIN, they lived up to the hype.  The website boasts that this collection is buttery soft and each piece stretches up to twice their size.  When they say buttery soft, they mean buttery soft.  It almost feels like you aren’t wearing anything.  For me, in my postpartum body, I definitely needed the bras and underwear to be extra stretchy since my size is fluctuating so this collection was perfect.

SKIMS COTTON COLLECTION

SKIMS SETS

I have honestly been wondering for years if SKIMS are worth the hype.  Everything the Kardashians do seems to turn to gold and make gazillions. While I might not be a huge fan of the fam or *keep up with the kardashians* on TV, I gotta admit, they are doing something right to have such a mega empire.

SO, I tried out 6 pieces from their cotton collection, because I figured those would be most comfortable to me right now in my 8 months pregnant body. Hardly anything is comfortable these days so trust me when I say, this was a true test.
