Happy Friday, friends! It's {av} from {long distance loving}--gleefully standing in for Lauren while she enjoys her bachelorette festivities! She's been linking up with Friday's Fancies for ages now, so it means the world to stand in for her today :)

Though it seems like yesterday, I celebrated my bachelorette just under two years ago in Nashville, Tennessee. It wasn't a big affair and it was exactly what I envisioned. A few of my best girl friends had a fun night out in Music City, donning surprise t-shirts and candy necklaces. {No male body parts allowed! haha} If I was celebrating again this weekend and not sporting a t-shirt with my picture on it, I would love to wear the gilded ensemble below. It's a lot of gold, but every bachelorette deserves to be the center of attention on her night! 

Let's be serious: I wish I could wear sequins more often than I actually do. This Sequin Bell Sleeve Sheath {via Rent the Runway} would make me feel like a princess--without being too overexposed ;)

Leave it to Kate Spade to make Statement Earrings--and leave it to me to fall in love with each and every color iteration. These beauties would be versatile for plenty of other wedding functions!

Doesn't it go without saying that some bubbly is in line for a bachelorette? Splurging on a bottle of Veuve Cliquot would definitely be in order for this special occasion.

These Nadri Pavé Bangles are quite the sparklers. Much like the earrings, they'd get more than one wear during wedding season.

I'm a long-time lover of Ann Taylor heels, so when I spied these Glitter Perfect Pumps, my heart skipped a beat. Comfort and glamour are right up my alley!
