Here's a question posted by reader Michelle in the forums:

"My friend is getting married (2nd marriage) and they're are having it in their backyard. I know it's going to be very casual, so I don't want to be overdressed or underdressed. Any outfit ideas? We're in Florida, so it's hot! Thanks!!"

I suggest a fun day dress and wedges or embellished flats (heels will sink into grass). Casual doesn't have to be boring! Dress up, it'll make the wedding more fun, festive and stylish.

Here are three affordable outfit ideas for a backyard wedding to help you get inspired, click on any item for details:

LOOK 1: LADYLIKE RUFFLES

Sandals by Aldo
Necklaces by Charlotte Russe

One of these necklaces costs twice as much as the other. Can you guess which one? I'll give you a hint: One necklace was created for J.Crew by Dana Lorenz, designer of NYC-based FENTON and FALLON. The other is from a popular mall store. Scroll down to examine both, then click either image to find out!

For the first time ever, Target is teaming up with Gilt Groupe to offer its members an exclusive advance look at select items from three of the big-box retailer's upcoming limited-time only designer capsule collections, namely Tucker, Mulberry, and John Derian.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

Here's a great round-up of the fashion trends that we can expect to see at H&M for Fall/Winter 2010 featuring interviews with Ann-Sofie Johansson Head of Design at H&M, Hannah Teare from Tatler Magazine and blogger Susie Bubble (who has the loveliest voice, btw, I could listen to her all day!). For fall, we will see the "Casual Chic" look, with plenty of accessories and influences from the late 70s, early 80s, and even a little bit of the 90s. You'll find a broad variety of inspirations, ranging from the tailored style with uniform details, trench coats and parkas, to a more romantic style with cut-outs and patterns. Camel, black, wine red, green and other natural colors dominate the palette. The garments are made in both luxury materials such as silk and fake fur, as well as more comfy knitwear materials with a nice autumnal feeling. Let the layering begin!
