A gown so gorgeous, I purchased two of them!

I'm an Anthroholic (if you don't speak Anthro, please educate yourself so we can be friends).

And so I couldn't wait for my turn to shop BHLDN (sigh, yes, that's "beholden" minus all of the vowels, don't ask), Anthro's sister wedding boutique, I was SO excited!

Meet the Hermes gown from Bhldn... 

So... Since I don't live close to a BHLDN store, and my sister and mom weren't available to kidnap (or rather, I was too impatient to wait for all of us to be together, in order to go), I hit their online boutique.

Light ecru and effortlessly chic!

And found THE GOWN on my first time browsing. It was on sale, it was a pullover style (no pesky buttons or zippers to deal with), would pack down to nothing in my luggage, and was so classically ethereal and effortlessly beautiful, I immediately pulled the trigger!

 When I tried the gown on, it had a very Jane Austen type of feel to it (in the best way, and fitting considering that the BBC's original "Sense and Sensibility" -- think Colin Firth, not Keira Knightley), and I loved the romance of it!

I love this gown so much, I decided I wanted to find other occasions to wear it. Jason has now agreed that each year, when we go on another adventure, we'll take a photo or two in the Hermes (and whatever he chooses to wear for the occasion). How fun is that?! The fairytale lives on!

Next, I found a faux fux cardigan with a deep hood at Anthro that just seemed to scream 'Iceland Fairytale.' Had to have that.

Next came the floral headpiece. It hasn't arrived yet, but I can't wait to try it on along with the gown and cardigan on my next visit to SoCal.

Paired with a classic pair of Joan of Arctic boots by Sorel, I should be all set for wedding photos in Iceland with Styrmir and Heiodis (more to come on this amazing couple who will be doing our photos)!
