Fête de la Musique 2013: Quelles Bonnes Tenues!

Once again, the French Embassy played host to a wonderful Fête de la Musique this past Sarurday.  The House of France, or La Maison Française, in Washington, D.C. co-organized the event with the French-American Cultural Foundation to bring a taste of France to the states and to celebrate World Music Day on the summer solstice.

Between the talented artists, delicious spread of food and drinks, and wonderful musical performances, this certainly was a night to remember.  And on top of all of the fun happenings, there was another aspect to be appreciated: the attendees!  Everywhere we turned, there was inspiration for summer style that just had to be shared.  Here are some of my favorite looks that we captured at the event:

So many great summer looks!  My favorite trends at the festival were: (1) fun stripes and chevron, (2) white and pastels with khaki, (3) pops of reds, pinks, and oranges.

Going Goldie Locks during the Holiday Season

For the holiday festivities, I have been ALL about the gold.  It is such a fun color and always boosts my fashion-confidence when I'm out because the shiny shade is just so inviting!  I just went to a holiday party last night, and wore this outfit:

I sported a Charlotte Russe sweater, Claire's gold ribbon earrings, olive Union Bay military-esque pants (belted with a wide gold gift wrapping ribbon!), and my Madden Girl nude pumps

Funny angle here makes me look a little bloated haha But the Charlotte Russe sweater is actually really cute on!  Do you see the wrapping ribbon I used as a belt?

Here's another look at the outfit top of the outfit- because the sweater has such a bold collar, I pulled my hair back in a ballerina bun.  For the makeup (easiest to see in the top picture), I did a gold/brown smokey eye.

Hope this inspires you to go for the gold!

Happy Holidays!
