“Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.”
― Mary Oliver

I just got back from vacation and need another vacation—I am exhausted. After sorting through the notecards and IMs and emails, all I wanted to do was slip into a glamorous evening gown and forget about laundry, mail, and the sunburn peeling on my nose. This gorgeous new evening gown from Elisea Carter was the antidote. In a sunny orangey gold, it felt like the warm sun on my skin again and with the glittering hem and detailed ribbon around the straps, it reminded me of all the glamour of my vacation without the walking and the blisters.

I had to wear “sunkissed” skin, of course, and this bargain buy from Tricky Boucher was a keeper for this look with it’s complimentary makeup and bewitching eyes. Ikon Innovia’s gorgeous Ardent collection lends a subtle otherworldliness to my elegant look and a sideways bang from MissAllSunday Lemon makes the look complete.
