The night before our wedding we had a Mexican themed rehearsal dinner. We decorated the tables with maracas, purple orchids and colorful table runners.  I asked our guests to wear bright colors to go along with the theme. As you can see, the food was plentiful and delicious! The night was spectacular. After a few cocktails, I headed to bed early to get ready for the BIG DAY!

***

The neon dress I wore was a huge hit! This dress has been in my closet for almost 4 months. When I first saw it at ASOS it was sold out. Like usual, I stalked the site daily till it was available in my size. It was 100% worth the wait and the hassle to get this dress for the rehearsal dinner.

The first night everyone arrived in Mexico, we hosted tacos + beer on the beach. The food was spectacular and the view was even better! Everyone was a little jet lagged and exhausted from traveling, so it was a great way to welcome our guests to Mexico.

The BCBG dress was the perfect outfit for our welcome dinner on the beach. I had it tailored so it wasn't dragging on the sand, but the length turned out to be perfect with heels. This is one of my favorite dresses in my closet right now...I just have to figure out where to wear it next! For those ladies attending any beach wedding, or even an outdoor wedding this summer, I'd HIGHLY recommend this dress. It's even more beautiful in person. What so great about this dress, it that's it's on super sale right now ---> here & here.

I couldn't resist posting these photos taken by my best friend, Nina Tekwani. As you can see, she's such an amazing photographer. She snapped these photos of the resort we stayed out in Playa del Carmen, Hotel Le Reve. Le Reve is a small private resort, only 25 rooms. We had the entire hotel to ourselves, which was such a blessing. Nothing compares to waking up to your family and friends for three days and enjoying a Mexican vacation.

Yippie! Wedding week has officially started. I've been waiting to share photos from the wedding for weeks! I was feeling a little ambitious before the wedding and planned on sharing photos the week after we got back from Mexico. Well...that didn't exactly happen. It takes 8-12 weeks to receive our professional photos, but I was lucky enough to have several friends and family members take photos.

I'm going to try my hardest to post every day this week...

I can't remember the last time I was so excited to be at an airport at 7am in the morning, but on this particular Tuesday morning I was the happiest person standing in the security line. After we made it through the security line, we grabbed a few cocktails and got ready for our flight to Cancun.  

Today's outfit is what I wore on our flight to Mexico. My accessories are my favorite. The simple black maxi was comfortable for the flight, but the fedora, scarf and beach bag were all essential when traveling the first day to Mexico. The scarf kept me warm during the flight, the beach bag carried ALL my breakable items for the wedding (ie. champagne flutes) and the fedora kept the sun off my face when we arrived in Mexico.


See you tomorrow! I'll be posting photos taken by my best friend, Nina Tekwani. Can't wait!

The "no shopping" challenge continues! After evaluating my closet, here are a few things I'm anticipating on adding to my closet; black blazer, white cropped jeans, nude heels, and sailor-striped dress

Here's what's going on in the Corporate Catwalk world...

-My best gal pal, Nina Tekwani, is uploading wedding photos today. I'm so excited to see all the photos! She's a professional photographer, so I know she got some amazing photos.

-Speaking of wedding photos, next week is wedding week on Corporate Catwalk. Since I kept everyone waiting, I'll be posting every outfit I wore during our wedding weekend.

-I finally downloaded #GIRLBOSS and Lean In on my iPad. Reviews in the future.

-My new dining table from West Elm arrives this weekend. Cannot wait to redecorate my kitchen

-If you're on the lookout for work blouses, check out these from H&M.

-A few people asked about my interview. It went really well! It was for an internal position at my current company. After lots of consideration, I've decided to stay in my current role.

-I'm intrigued by this article written by Tim Ferriss, who went on a 3 weeks without complaining and how it changed his life. 
Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

In an effort to prove to myself that I don't need to shop to look "fashionable", I'm putting together some of my favorite pieces to create new looks. The black crop top is from Express and I love the way it looked with my high-waisted shorts in THIS outfit. One of my favorite pieces is my white pleated skirt from Zara and I previous wore with a cardigan in THIS outfit. Two great pieces that will go with so many other looks! 

Quick story about today's outfit....

Originally, I wanted to wear my leopard print Manolo Blahnik heels with this outfit, BUT I lost them in a NYC taxi on the way to my photo session with Lydia. Like usual I was multitasking; putting on lipstick, texting and trying to tell the cab driver where to drop me off. It was a recipe for disaster. As Lydia and I setup to take photos, I realized my shoes were missing. 

Thank goodness I had the receipt from my cab ride. I called several times, but I was never able to reach the cab driver. The cab company said my shoes were not turn in at the end of the day. I moped around the house for a few hours. My husband felt sorry for me for a few minutes, then he put things into perspective by telling me I could have lost my wallet or better yet, my kid (he likes to give me worst case scenarios to make me realize that "it could be worse").  That little incident is what led me to my shopping challenge. As I looked at my other shoes in my closet, I thought to myself, "be thankful for what you have, it's only a pair of shoes." 

I will admit that I keeping an eye on eBay, just in case they magically show up...
