What to wear to an evening wedding reception?

2010-09-02T11:51:16Z

A friend of mine invited me for her evening wedding reception which is only a week away. I have been reading a couple of threads and searching online, but still confused about my dress. It’s a formal wedding, but I want to create a good impression. Wondering what colors are appropriate for an evening wedding? Should I wear a floor-length evening gown or a cocktail outfit?
Your inputs will be helpful.

Thanks..

Do you wear gold or silver jewelery?

Do you think it is ok to wear both at the same time or should it be strictly one or the other?

dressing up…

2010-08-17T19:46:15Z

As in smart clothes not fancy dress!

When was the last time you dressed up and is it something you do regularly?..
I miss that about living here people are so relaxed they never dress up Ive seen people here go to a wedding in their clogs!

I dressed up to go to a gig earlier this year and last year for another gig before that it was for a summer BBQ (which I hate) and when we arrived everyone else was in jeans and Tshirts..

I miss the dress code which prevents people turning up at nice restaurant looking as if they’ve just finished the gardening or going to a club looking like they’ve just mucked out the horses..

Do the places you go to still have dress codes or am I being really old fashioned?
Is it too much to ask to expect people to wash and change into decent clothes before going out for the evening?

Shopping online: Buy right away or Try first, buy later?

Question: If you found a really nice top or pair of shoes online, would you go ahead and buy it? Or would you rather try it out first at a store before buying it?

Do you change your decor?

2010-08-27T08:00:48Z

Ive been in a nesting mood all week.. Ive told OH I might be pregnant ...he choked..
Only kidding.. I think its the weather.

The nights are getting colder and darker Ive put away the bright vases that I had on the mantle and Ive bought out the little lanterns, re-stocked on candles, changed the cream throw on the sofa for a dark red chenille one and Ive tested and changed light bulbs..

Ive been in the garden too, trimming the plants, folded up the chairs, taken down the parasol washed it and put that in the loft..

Im craving all the winter foods too.. lots of casserole’s and stews, dumplings and thick gravy..Ive made sure the coco powder is in the cupboard hot chocolate with whipped cream on a cold day ...lovely.

People here tend to do this a lot, they change the window dressing and ornaments to suit the season So where you see flowering plants on summer window sills now there are vases filled with (fake ) autumn leaves and pine cones or conkers, little tableaux of squirrels and toadstools and lantern’s.
Its quite nice really..

So do any of you do anything like this I never noticed it when I lived in England people there always had the same decor and ornaments the whole year round..
But I wonder if its a recent thing or is it typically Dutch?

Hair Color

2010-08-23T00:19:29Z

I recently got my hair colored and loved what my colorist did!!!

I have a really sensitive scalp and normally when I go get colored it is not a pleasant experience. When my colorist was applying it and after, when I had to let it sit, I was surprised that there wasn’t that irritation and funny smell. My colorist told me she was using a newer product. It was L’Oréal Professionnel INOA.

She said the INOA stands for INNOVATION NO AMMONIA. That’s why there was no odor.

My hair was shiny and super soft when she was done and I love the color!!!

I normally don’t boost about something so much, but I really can’t say enough about it!!

I went online and found what other salons carry it: http://www.findinoa.com

If anyone else has ever used it let me know what you think!
If you haven’t used it, I would check it out http://www.inoa-us.com

I wish I hadn´t bothered ! Ive seen better dressed tramps..
Really what do these shows have to do with real people?

Who goes round in corsets and suspenders except maybe the obvious !!!
It seems that frills, big prints and ruches are going to be ´in´ this year..

So I guess I will be ´out´ again, never mind Im happy..

Make-up: Sephora or Drug Store?

2010-08-16T13:16:39Z

Where do you buy your cosmetics from? The Clinique counter at Macy’s? Sephora? CVS? I mix and match. I drop cash on coverup from Lancome, blush by Nars, and eye shadow by Sephora, but cheap out when it comes to Mascara: I only buy covergirl. I’m also obsessed with Carmex lip balm. Nothing works better!
