Brilliant intel, as ever - who knew? (Now we do, and we have a cheat sheet!) Love the mother of the bride guidance, which I think would work great for moms of graduates, too? So good! (Speaking of, hope you’ve recovered from the 🎓😭🎢, Cheryl!) Also, Top Gun 3?!! 💗

The Grad look pressure is real!!! 😭😭😭 (I ended up buying flats from the local high street an hour before for my eldest - downpours that weren’t forecast and my new heels would’ve disappeared into the grass!) I get jumpy just thinking about it!!😨😂

The weather is so unpredictable this time of year! And yes being comfortable is the most important thing and I’m sure you all looked incredibly chic!

Wow. I hadn’t thought of Erasure’s Oh L’Amour in forevvvver. Thanks for the memories!

I’m pretty sure the last wedding I went to was 15 years ago… 😳

A classic and glad I could remind you to find on Spotify again! I know, it’s like there’s a point when there are too many to go to and then you miss them.

It’s gorgeous! (And I just got last minute tickets for the Boy George showing. I cannot pass up a doc and I actually don’t know that much about him!)

I’ve styled a friend (who happened to be the mom of the groom) in a long floral dress from my dress archives, and it was so rewarding to see her feeling sexy, yet also comfortable and confident. I love theme anything (see my recent Pop Art-themed outfit), but I haven’t been to a wedding myself in years! Boo!

I’m seeing Public Enemy in September at Rifflandia (a music festival in my town), can’t wait!! Yes to anti-ageism BS!

Thanks so much, Fawnia and Cheryl! I just love your newsletters.💕

Sheila, I would kill to get my hands on some of your amazing jewelry!!!! (And my husband is going to London to see Public Enemy with his BFF who lives there now. I’m sure it will be a great show.) Thank you for the EXTREMELY kind words !

It’s almost all secondhand, as you know-a life of collecting.

Ooh, lucky hubs! Ours will likely be an abbreviated show, as it’s a festival venue, maybe an hour if we’re fortunate.💕Rock on, Cheryl!

That sounds really chic and exactly! I always think, what would J. Lo do? I also love that you have a dress archive. Flex! I do enjoy these themes and would like to be invited to more weddings to experience them — throwing it out there. Thank you so much for being so supportive and sharing the best feedback! Have a great time seeing Public Enemy, too!

Sharing my clothes and styling my friends is a way for me to spread good into the world.💕 We often throw theme parties-our friends really get into dressing up.

You deserve it! I know how much work goes into these posts.

I need more friends like you! Ooh theme parties is such a good idea and excuse to wear the vintage things that don’t get worn enough too. Aw thank you and we appreciate it so much!💕
