My sister is getting married in October and I could not be more excited! I love the excitement and buzz that a wedding creates. I am a bridesmaid and we get to pick our own dress. The guidlines are to find a dress that is gray and tea length. Somehow I can never seem to find a proper tea length dress, mine are always a bit shorter. But, I have checked with my sister and I think it will be ok. These are my top three choices right now.
The first one (far left) is my top choice. I really like the third dress, but we're wearing little sweaters on top and I think the flowers would get covered and look bumpy and funny.
I wanted to share these because searching for the perfect bridesmaid dress can be challenging, especially if you're on a budget. I checked soooo many websites! I'm still not committed either; I check back multiple times for sales and new stock. The month of July is a great time to look in bridal stores because it's after the two major wedding months, so they usually have sales.
I search every store website possible! I check ModCloth the most because their stock constantly changes and updates. I also look at JCrew, David's Bridal, Macy's, Antropology, but I rarely find a dress that I love on those sites. I don't really set a budget, but if a dress is $100+ it needs to be one that I will wear again and again and again - that's how JCrew usually gets cut out.
For me, it always comes down to dresses that are at either Target or JCPenney. And this is my third time being a bridesmaid, so this hunt is not too foreign for me. The best part of ordering from these stores is that their return policies are really easy and I know my size for sure. Also, with JCPenney I can ship to my local store which makes shipping free!

MyGlam July
Here's my MyGlam bag for July. I used one picture and described the products below; nothing new with that layout.
Juice Beauty moisturizer: I like that this has SPF 15 and Green Apple anything is always fun, espsecially for summer. However, I do want to point out that last month's MyGlam had a moisturizer in it as well.
NuMe hydrating conditioner: This little sample is going to go with my shampoo sample from Birchbox for when I travel. There were also two certificates for NuMe, one was $50 for a set of either Hydro Punch or Pure Remedy products, and the other was for 50% off any product on their website.
*I am not going to use these, nor am I going to be using the $100 off certificate (from many months ago). If you would like to use them please let me know if the comments and we'll figure out a way for me to get you the specific code.
Say Yes to Cucumbers face wipes: I actually bought this exact travel packet a few weeks ago and I'm happy to have them again.
Buxom (Bare Essentials) lip gloss: I tried this out as soon as I got it and I was pretty impressed. It stays on for a long time, but it's not too sticky. The color is subtle, but it has a lot of shimmer to it; I think it would look great on top of a lipstick.
Circus by Andrea's Choice nail polish: This is already on my nails! It's really creamy and pigmented, especially for white. The brush is kind of small, but that's not a big deal.

Dainty Rings
I used to be the biggest ring person, and the bigger they were the better. However, ever since I got engaged it felt weird to wear other rings. It literally took me months to wear a cocktail ring on my right hand! Lately though, I've been wearing just my wedding band, so I feel like I can put other small rings on my left hand. So I started looking on Etsy, and found these:
All three are on my wish list now. I like that they're better quality than Forever21; it's always nice when your rings don't turn your fingers green.
Rings {1,2,3}
