bhldn :: the exquisite bridal room

when i arrived at bhldn last thursday for the tracy reese event, i was pretty sure i'd died and gone to heaven. this was especially true when i found the gown room within. i have never been surrounded by so many frocks at one time!

here are just a few photos of my favorite details. talk about exquisite.
i've never been one to daydream about my wedding,
but with bhldn around, it certainly makes a girl begin to fantasize...

see more photos from the event here and here.

tracy reese fashion show :: bhldn chicago

i am completely in love with this precious halo

that dress, that hat :: perfection

had to share one more shot of that awesome hat

and this dress was hands-down my favorite from tracy's collection

this dress was runner-up for my favorite tracy reese dress

totally digging the subtle heart print and the keyhole tie on this one

let's not forget that this event was not only about fashion but to promote and raise funds for literacy chicago, a local nonprofit that empowers individuals to achieve greater self-sufficiency through language and literacy instruction. 

oh yeah, and let's not forget the star of the show :: the lovely and sweet ms. tracy reese pictured here {middle} with one of my favorite chicago bloggers, nikia {right} and her wonderfully stylish friend.

hope you enjoyed the pics! i know i sure enjoyed the event!

BHLDN :: a bridal boutique at its best

hello everyone!
are these pictures insanely gorgeous or what?!

this past week i was invited to attend a fashion show for tracy reese at the BHLDN shop in chicago. i was so excited to be there because i have been a longtime fan of tracy reese's designs. i will have more pictures of her items from the show to come but i have so many pictures i wanted to show you that i had to split it up into parts. this one showcases the boutique itself. next will be the exquisite bridal gowns and room at BHLDN and finally tracy reese's pieces.

but for now, just relish in these lovely pictures. quite honestly, you don't need a reason to visit BHLDN - there were tons of decor accessories i would put in my home for everyday use, there were plenty of dresses at reasonable prices that i would wear every day and so many beautiful pieces of jewelry that i would collect and cherish for decades.

if you have the chance to visit a BHLDN boutique, i strongly encourage you to do so. you will be in awe the entire visit!!
