Wedding Wednesday!

As a newly engaged woman, I thought it would be fun to have a reoccurring post on the blog re all things weddings! First topic up for discussion will be The DRESS. Did anyone else get that overwhelming feeling when you realized how many different kinds of dresses there are out there? For instance, there is fit and flare, mermaid, a-line and ball gowns just to name a few. Now that I have been thinking about getting married, I will admit I have been fantasizing about finding my perfect dress. That one dress that my husband will see me walk down the aisle in. That one memory he will hold with him forever and it has got me very excited!

 Dresses that I have been noticing I love (this month anyways) all have lace involved in one aspect or another. In my eyes, lace is stunning, classy, elegant and just so beautiful. I will say, there are times that lace can look over the top (the dress Toula wears in My Big Fat Greek Wedding comes to mind), but if done right I believe it to be a show stopper.  If I'm dreaming really big, below are some dresses that have caught my eye.

This georg dress is by Vera Wang. I absolutely love the silhouette. I love that the top of the dress is almost in that sweetheart shape but that lace overlay adds just the right touch of something extra. I think this is just so classy and modest and would be perfect for any church wedding. I am not sure about the bow belt as it is a little over the top for me. I think maybe a belt that is encrusted in crystals may be more fun for this look or even a solid belt in a cream color.

This dress. I don't know what to say about it other than WOW! This is a Pnina Tornai Sweetheart Mermaid Gown. I absolutely love how this dress accentuates the body in all the right ways! That touch of sparkle in the belt really ties everything together. I love how there are skinny straps that help hold everything in place! The lace is so classy but do I appreciate how its less modest than the previous dress.

This dress is designed by Monique Lhuillier. It is the V-Neck Sheath Gown in Chantilly lace. This one is just stunning!! I love the neckline and the slit up the leg. I love that it seems to be modest and then there is that nice pop of the slit to show off your legs! This one gets an A+.

This dress is designed by Allure Bridal. Allure has some pretty amazing dresses so it was hard to pinpoint one. When I saw this dress though, I fell in love with it. I think this embodies everything that one envisions a princess bride to be. It has all the great elements of a Ball gown with that extra bit of tulle and of course lace. It is so tastefully done. I can't wait to try on a few of these princess dresses!

Preparing this post has helped me take a tour of just what is available out there in this new bridal land! I can't wait to try on dresses with my Mom, Best friend and Sisters!! I am truly looking forward to it!

Wedding Wednesday- Best Dresses to Wear to a Summer Wedding

Wedding season is upon us and if your like me, you have just started going to all the weddings of the season! My inspiration for this post came from  Elle Magazine . They did an amazing article on the best looks to wear to a wedding and it got me thinking about wanting to give my readers some tips and highlight a few looks for these special days. Weddings are a lot of fun to go to and you always want to look your best for when you are seeing your friends and family! Here are a few rules to get you started: 1) No cream or white-- Please do not be that one person all the others are giving dirty looks to because you wore an all white look to a wedding. I think having cream or white come through in your look in some way is totally great, especially in these summer months. However, just don't have your entire dress be white. I have seen this done before and its not well received. 2) Pay attention to what the invitation says the attire will be-- If the invitation says blac...

Trendy Festival Wear - 2016

Hello there to my favorite readers! Festival season is now officially upon us. One thing I noticed this year is that the fashion retailers are advertising specifically to the festival goer, making it easier than ever to find your perfect look. It doesn't seem like it has changed too much since last year, besides there is even more of a 70's vibe mixed with the 90's in these looks. However, we still have the obvious staples -- the  headbands, the crop tops and the ripped jeans. Lets dive right into some of the best festival looks this season and how they can transition into your summer wardrobe and beyond! Grecian style shoes . I mean, perfection. I mean, say no more! These shorts ,some denim, a big hat and a choker! Your comfy and trendy! Georgy Georg bright colored dress . Pompom Playsuit . Need it! PS, is playsuit the new word for romper!? Braided headband!? I want it and Im not going to a festival! Obsessed with this v...

Dressing Diaries- ASOS Sheath Dress

It's about that time to start another reoccurring series entitled Dressing Diaries . I thought it would be fun to give you a peak into how I style myself and how some of my favorite looks come together. Start of dressing process:  Very late at night, the day before an event (nothing like a fair amount of procrastination), I always ask my sweet  fiancé   to take a picture of my outfit. By the time I get to the pictures, I have narrowed down the look to two or three different choices. PS- this is a really good tip if you haven't tried it before.  I know that sounds funny, but in todays world where there are so many pictures taken its important for you to be able to visualize the final look so you aren't left disappointed. It is also good to be able to see what shoes look best and what accessories complete the ensemble.  Completion of dressing process : I went with nude lace up heels (you can find something similar to purchase here ) and opted...
