Bluebird Watching
Hey everyone--
I've always been a fan of crochet, especially in the summer season. I really do love a great crochet top. I have a few in my closet and I've definitely got my wear out of them this year. I adore everything about my Deb Shops taupe crochet tank! It's a summer staple in my wardrobe. It looks great paired with a maxi skirt, denim shorts, or over swim attire. With Deb Shops, I wanted to put together an easy breezy summer look that would really flatter this crochet top. I paired it with a white maxi skirt and a dream catcher necklace. I accessorized with a few great turquoise pieces, my chunky stone ring and my favorite shoes in my closet right now, these strappy turquoise heels. I added a fun aztec print backpack to complete the look. This backpack is perfect for on the go and is a great item to have on your back to school list!
Happy Wednesday friends!

Online Shopping Guide: Persun (Black Formal Dresses)
Hey everyone--
Today I wanted to talk about the most fabulous acronym known to the fashion world, lbd. The lbd (little black dress) is the hottest item in every woman’s closet. No man can resist and no dress can compare to the little black dress. Is your favorite lbd a little too worn, or have you done the unthinkable and weathered your whole life without one? If either of these scenarios resonate with you, then it’s time to think about making a purchase. Persun is a great place online to find black formal dresses. Whether you’re new to the lbd, you need an upgrade, or you just can’t get enough, Persun has the perfect choice for you. On the Persun website, you will find a wonderful variety of black dresses at all lengths and styles. Go for a dress that hits just above the knee to show some skin, or a long evening gown to make a sophisticated entrance. When a little black dress is right, there is no other clothing piece that could take it’s place.
The amazing Karl Lagerfield once said “One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a little black dress.” I don’t know about you, but I think I’ll take Lagerfield’s advice. It’s true, the lbd is a chic fashionable choice for almost any occassion. The color black is also a body shaping tool for us women. It’s flattering to every body type and has a killer slimming effect.
When it comes to accessorizing the little black dress, the options are truly endless. Black looks classic when paired with neutral colors such as tan or white. It looks daring and confident when paired with pops of vivid color and it looks glamorous when accessorized with metallic accents. I love wearing a fierce leopard print with my lbd.
The little black dress is an obvious choice for any event that calls for chic. Put a little black magic in your closet!
Happy Shopping!

Online Shopping Guide: Persun (White Cocktail Dresses)
Hey everyone--
Though my fall wardrobe has been on my mind lately, it’s still summer. I don’t know about you, but I’m trying to get all of the wear out of my favorite white pieces before the days of summer come to an end. Not because I follow the “no white after labor day” rule, but solely because my favorite white pieces right now are lightweight and won’t keep me warm enough in the autumn! However, I’m actually against the rule altogether. If you don’t know which rule I’m talking about, it’s the old school fashion guideline that states that you shouldn't wear white before memorial day or after labor day. This rule is so old school that it’s almost extinct and I could never follow it because I love my winter whites. Personally, I think that this clean and beautiful shade works year round!
Persun has an absolutely gorgeous assortment of white cocktail dresses to end your summer with a bang. A white cocktail dress is the absolutely best canvas for a fashion masterpiece. You can keep the look simple and chic by sticking to pure white accessories, or you can spice up the look by accessorizing with bright, bold colored accessories. You can also pair your lwd (little white dress) with black accessories to create the perfect classic outfit. My summer choice is pairing white with a deep turquoise or a glamorous silver.
Another perk of a white dress will accentuate that glorious tan that you've been perfecting all summer. It will also look flattering in photos taken at a summer party. White frocks photograph so beautifully because they look very crisp and fresh in front of any backdrop. Whether you’re on the beach, or at a backyard block party, your little white dress will pop. For your next cocktail party, look white hot in a white Persun dress!
Happy Shopping!

Online Shopping Guide: Persun (Wedding Dresses With Sleeves)
Hey everyone--
Wedding dresses in the twenty first century have come so far! You can now wow your guests with feathers, ruffles, embellishments and mile long cathedral trains. As a girly girl, I’m a big fan of glitz and glam. I love the extravagance that comes with a fashion forward dress. However, I find nothing nothing more beautiful than a classic gown. A more classic style of gown truly embodies simplicity and charm. When I plan my wedding, I want every detail to express my personal style. I’d love for my dress to have a vintage vibe. It definitely has to have a little bit of lace, because what says vintage better than lace?
Persun has a great selection of gowns with vintage details, such as their wedding dresses with sleeves. A wedding dress with sleeves is such a great option if you’re wanting a vintage look, or a more modest look. Lace sleeves and cap sleeves are my two favorite sleeve designs for a wedding dress.
In the past couple of years, it seems that wedding dresses with sleeves have become extinct. I credit this to something I like to call “the fear of frumpiness”. However, any frock that resembles one of Kate Middleton’s will be nothing short of fabulous. You ladies remember Princess Kate’s wedding gown, right? Those lace sleeves were breathtaking, simply regal. Channel your inner royalty and consider a gown that resembles the dress of all wedding dresses!
A wedding dress with sleeves is also the perfect pick if you don’t believe in showing your shoulders off in church. It gives you that little extra coverage and keeps your look sophisticated and elegant. Your arms don’t have to be completed covered either. The cap sleeve or the lace sleeve would allow for a little exposure without baring it all.
Happy Shopping & Happy Wedded Bliss!

Watching The Parade Go By
Hey everyone--
It's true.. I've gotten aboard the chevron train. I've just recently fallen for the print and I might be a bit obsessed now. With Deb Shops, I've put together a super fun transitional look. With this dark denim jacket and flower crochet ankle boots, you can take any summer dress into fall. If you're loving chevron right now too, this coral chevron print dress should be the newest addition to your wardrobe. It's light and breezy and the coral color is a pick-me-up for any look. When accessorizing, I chose this cobalt blue bauble necklace. I absolutely love the punchy color scheme of coral and cobalt together.
Happy Tuesday friends!

Online Shopping Guide: Persun (Pink Formal Dresses)
Hey everyone--
Today, I’m talking about Persun, a very fabulous online clothing/accessory store. If you’ve been following my blog for awhile now, you know that Persun has some of the loveliest dresses under the sun. Right now, I have a serious crush on baby pink dresses. The oh-so light blush pink color mesmerizes me every time. For some time now, I’ve been on the lookout for a dress in an ultra-light pink hue. Persun has the most perfect pink formal dresses!
Everyone knows that girls look pretty in pink. It’s the universal color for women. I even feel more ladylike when I’m sporting the shade. There’s just something about a pink dress that makes a woman look sweet, yet femme fatale at the same time. Another perk of the pale pink color is that it looks flawless on every skin tone.
Growing up, I had a slight obsession with the color. As an early teenage girl, my closet looked like it belonged to Elle Woods. Thankfully, I’ve outgrown my head to toe pink ensembles, but the color is still one of my favorites to experiment with. I’m a sucker for a pink, floor length evening gown and a pink pout.
A beautiful chiffon or satin is the perfect material for your pink dress. Crystal embellishments, lace accents and backless designs are a few of my top Persun picks. Can you imagine dancing the night away with the moonlight reflecting off the shine in your blush pink dress? Persun has the look to make this daydream come true. All heads will turn to see you, a vision of elegance and beauty. A gorgeous pink gown will really give you the ability to express your femininity.
Stun everyone in your prom dress, bridesmaid dress, or gala opening and think pink for your next formal event.
Happy Shopping!

Online Shopping Guide: Seek Hair
Hey everyone--
Today, let’s talk about hair. A couple of months ago I added a beauty section to my blog. I’ve always had a passion for experimenting with new beauty products, makeup trends and hairstyles. I wanted to be able to share my experiences and new finds with my readers! So far, I’ve posted two hair tutorials that show step by step instructions for two of my favorite hairstyles. Which I’ve shown below.. (For more step-by-step check out my Beauty Page)
I love finding the best products in the hair and beauty world. Recently, I’ve come into contact with the website www.seekhair.co.uk. Seek Hair is a leading, wholesale online hair products store. They are especially known for their inexpensive, top quality hair extensions. They offer various lengths, colors and styles to meet the unique needs of each customer. They have many different types of clip in hair, such as micro ring/ loop hair, tape hair, stick tip hair, nail tip hair and weft weaving hair. Plu, their PU remy hair and Indian remy hair are all one hundred percent human hair, so it’s guaranteed to look realistic!
Out of all of the hot hair trends that are surfacing, long locks are at the top of my want list. Ever since I got a shorter cut last summer, I’ve been wishing my hair would grow faster. If you’ve recently gotten a cut like me, or your hair just doesn’t grow quickly, you might want to consider buying super tape hair extensions. Seek Hair has a great selection of these! Hair extensions would put an end to the waiting. In an instant you could have long, luxurious locks. I don’t know about you, but I’ve grown tired of anxiously awaiting new growth. I would love to wake up one day to longer strands. Seek Hair can make that dream a reality.
Imagine all of the new hairstyles that you could try if you just added a little length to your hair. I would definitely try a fishtail braid and long loose waves. One great thing, is that there are so many fantastic hair extension tips out there! If you are apprehensive about how to put them in or what kind to choose, you can look to the Seek Hair website and find out everything you need to know. You can also ask a local hair stylist to give you some advice and explain the entire process.
Hair extensions can be very expensive, but with Seek Hair, you will never have to worry about the price. Seek Hair has great low prices on all of their hair extensions. You will be more than happy with the price of their extensions, regardless of which one you’re lusting after.
Happy Shopping & Happy Hair Days!

July Is Dressed Up And Playing Her Tune
Hey everyone--
One reason that summer is my favorite season for fashion can be summed up in the two words ethereal style. Since July and warm weather are here to stay for awhile, I put together a romantic, music fête worthy look from Deb Shops. This crochet maxi dress with illusion skirt had me at hello. I absolutely love the crochet print and the illusion skirt. I wanted the whole look to have a very effortless, whimsical vibe.
I accessorized with a few floral pieces. I've always had a thing for floral prints. This floral print cross-body bag is the perfect summer handbag. It has just enough space for the summer essentials and it's adorable little print will score you compliments wherever you go. This floral vine crown is my favorite floral crown because it isn't big enough to be overwhelming, yet it still makes that flower child statement!
& as for shoes, I decided upon my leather high heels with buckle straps.
Happy Tuesday friends!
