Would You Wear a Short Wedding Dress Like Audrey Hepburn?

 Audrey Hepburn Funny Face wedding dress; cute short wedding dresses

 

I’ve always loved the idea of a short wedding dress like Audrey Hepburn wore in Funny Face. Playful and sweet, there’s something utterly charming about a tea-length or mini wedding dress, don’t you think?

For our wedding, I wore a knee-length white dress under a white coat (I don’t think anyone ever saw it as it was 18 degrees outside!), and a floor-length Art Deco-inpsired silky dress for the reception. If I were getting married today, I’d love to wear some of these pretty dresses:

 

Romona Keveza wedding dress; BHLDN wedding dresses; short wedding dresses; alternative wedding dresses; cute short white dresses; white shift dresses

 

This sweet-chic babydoll dress by Romona Keveza (the same designer of Kaley Cuoco’s SAG Awards dress) from her Spring 2012 RTW collection. So spirited, I adore the flirty feel and the movement.

These darling mini wedding dresses from BHLDN make my heart skip a beat (left: Seraph’s Whim Shift; right: Miraflores Dress). How perfect for a garden, backyard, or courthouse wedding.

This BHLDN minty crinoline skirt (which also reminds me of Kaley Cuoco’s mint Romona Keveza dress) took my breath away. (I’m obsessed with this color!)

While not a short wedding dress, I am completely smitten with this Oscar de la Renta poppy-print gown from his Spring 2012 RTW collection {similar}. Does it make you swoon, too?

 

So tell me, would you wear a short wedding dress or an unexected wedding dress with a twist? If you’re already married, what did you wear on your weddding day? What would you wear if you were getting married today?

Sweet Sweaters Under $100

cute sweaters; heart sweaters; owl sweaters; bonjour sweaters

 

Even though, admittedly, it’s been summerlike here in LA, it still gets nippy at night. (Plus, I can get cold chills in 80+ degree temps — you too?). So I’ve been on the hunt for a cute sweater or two to add to my very sad little collection. Here, a few darling favorites — all under $100:

 

1. ASOS Bonjour Sweater – Oui, oui.

2. Topshop Owl Sweater – A hoot and a half.

3. ASOS Angora Sweater With Heart – Charming, darling.

4. Paul & Joe Sister Polka Dot Sweater Dress – There’s a sweet bow on the back, too!

5. Numph Polaris Sweater – Boxy and boyish but with a very girly twist.

Style With Heart

sweater with heart elbow patches; cute heart sweaters; elbow patch sweaters

 

Call me schmoopy, pookie, but I’ms a sucker for anything with heart(s). So when I spotted this preppy-chic sweater with heart elbow patches (elbow patches!), my heart nearly skipped a beat.

Wouldn’t this be cute to wear on Valentine’s Day? It’s darling in a Love Story sorta way paired with this suede skirt, but it would be just as sweet with black skinny jeans, too, dontcha think?
