Any excuse

My cousin is getting married in just a few weeks, and you know what that means...dress shopping! I've been eyeing a couple of Alice + Olivia dresses over at Shopbop, and just remembered that there's an A+O store on Robertson! I'm going to head over there today to see if I can try on these two:

Option #1

Here's the close up
and the back. Love the bow!

Option #2

Here's the close up
and the back

Which do you prefer? 

The wedding is at a winery in Malibu, and the wedding colors are Fall tones. I thought these would be good choices since there's probably going to be family photos happening.

  7. The first dress is absolutely gorgeous but may be a little tricky to wear... I love the second for the color and simple, chic vibe. Either would be stunning on you, though -- you can't go wrong with A+O!

  8. Oooh! Both are so pretty! And would ya know I have yet to been to a winery wedding but I want to go/plan one?!?! I love the 2nd dress - it seems so versatile and chic, but I think the 1st one probably makes for better photos. Both are lovely - I heart A&O dresses.

  10. I love the first one but the bow? uh, no.

    The second is flawless! Would be great w/your hair, etc.

  11. Yes, any excuse to buy a dress! I'm the same way. These are both amazing, but there's something really drawing me to the second one! I love the slit in the back, so subtle but sexy. Alice + Olivia always comes through for us. Did you get one? You'll have to let me know which one you decide on. I need a dress for a friend's baby shower in a week (cutting it close now) and I still haven't found anything! I might have to go to A+O this weekend.

  12. That last one is sooo great! I think the color is perfect for this time of year and the summer to fall transition. Isn't getting a new dress so exciting?

  13. From a guys point of view I have to go with the purple numer. Very classy while still bringing the sexy back. I hope you will share the photos of you wearing it. : )

  16. I think the second one would be especially gorgeous on you! And I just love the little peekaboo opening at the back. It'd also transition well to fall with a turtleneck underneath and a ton of chunky bracelets.
