Just Thought I'd Share a Wedding Ideas

It's okay to make fun, I'm not married, (I'm not even engaged!) but what girl doesn't day dream about her wedding? Unlike most girls, I literally pin wedding plans on Pinterest, watch Say Yes to the Dress, dream about it, et ceteraaaa! Please tell me I'm not alone!

Anyway, here are a couple things I discovered that I think are so brilliant and creative for those who actually are planning for the big day. This isn't for wedding dresses, because not all girls have the same taste, I could go on for ages about wedding dress styles, but I digress.

 Is this precious or what? Having a flower girl in a white tutu is so adorable, and a cheap dress idea too! I'm all about saving a buck, and not spending too much money where it isn't completely necessary. This is an easy DIY idea for your flower girl.

 I really like this flower arrangement, it's really not that manicured like a traditional bouquet, but I really think it would be beautiful for an outdoor wedding for any season.

 This is a commonly used idea I think, but it's so intuitive and a really cute idea for a wedding invite.

 Is this a good idea or whattttt? Saving your flower bouquet in a frame! Am I the only one who thinks this is genius?

 Cute idea for seating arrangement. Having a little humor never goes wrong, everything doesn't always have to be so prim and proper!

 Cute or nahh ? Definitely cute! This is a shot of the bride and groom, his parents, and her parents kissing! Well I think it's cute :)

 If you're as traditional as me, this shot is too fabulous for words. Have the photographer take a picture together after everyone leaves the church.

 Maybe I dream a little too large, but I love this wedding cake! The flowers underneath the glass table looks so elegant.

 This Bohemian theme is just so fresh and I love it! I'm not sure I could pull it off, but just look at how cool they look!

 If you have about a billion cousins like myself, keeping all those children occupied can be a headache! Hopefully you can keep them busy for a little while with some crayons and a coloring book!

 This is just so handsome, and preppy, and I love it! This would be great for a fall wedding.

 This is kind of country, and I'm so not that type of girl but this is just so southern and cute. Plus it would save a buck or two because these are just mason jars for center pieces! I do think it would only work with an outdoor arrangement though.

 Ombre flowers would be perfect for a spring/summer wedding. They've been in trend for a while, so this would be a perfect creative idea for a wedding!

 Another traditional wedding that deserves an amazing photo to match.

Maybe I shouldn't be so overwhelming with my ideals of wedding, but I know it's a lot more overwhelming when you're actually planning it. So hopefully my wedding vent didn't go completely in vain!

I HATE Floral!

Hey you guys! It's been a while sense I've posted, how is everyone?

Okay, so I get the floral is a huge trend, it seems like it has been going on for a while, and hasn't fell of yet. But still, floral reminds me of my grandma, and I'm not wearing anything that reminds me of a 50 year old couch!

But……
   
      I recently went to Wet Seal (although you should know the same print is also sold at Forever 21 and I think Rue 21 as well) and I'm actually really into the sunflower floral print! For summer I think this print will continue the floral print trend. For the first time yesterday, I wore a floral dress, who knew!

 I know that black nails don't seem like a spring trend, but I think is cute! And of course I know black hasn't been a leading color trend for nails in a while but did you see the picture???

 This may be a controversial blouse, but I like! Although pairing it with some denim jeans would tone down the stretched print a little, these grunge blue jeans in the picture would also look cute! For a warmer spring look, this would be super cute with some high waisted either stone wash shorts or regular black shorts.

 I actually prefer the black background with the sunflower pattern. I think it make the flowers pop and it's kind of edgy in a sweet way! You could take this print to so many styles and I think that's what's most interesting. This skirt can be found at tillys, and I think would be paired great with any white or maybe even creme blouse.

 If you are really into the floral pattern, I think you'll enjoy the sunflower with a white background, it's a fresh look and I think it would be super cute for spring.

 Can we just take a moment to admire how beautiful these pants are? They can be found on asos.com and I haven't seen any similar pants with a navy blue background. Personally, I'm a lover of harem pants still, they're so comfortable and so easy to wear. I seriously want these, how about you? Buy me a pair?

 If the heavy floral print seems too busy for you, this subtle blouse is super cute and tones down the print nicely!

I hope I gave you a little inspiration, and if you like my blog please follow and support it, tell your friends and check in daily for a new blog :)

Spring/Summer Trends: Yay or nay ?

Spring/Summer

Before you know it, it's spring! Time to shift styles and restock your closet right? I'm generally not one to follow the "seasons color" If you're like me, you have plenty of clothes and in actuality the idea of buying a whole no wardrobe of spring fashions is kind of a wasteful idea considering you won't be wearing it for another year or so.

  Hopefully, you can find something in your closet closely related to the upcoming trends, which means no one else will be wearing what you are!

   It seems as though the floral vintage fandom is still going strong. This spring, florals are still in. Pink appears to be a commonly seen color in fashion magazines, light pinks and also a fuchsia like color which I'm pretty into! I've also saw a cream color in a recent collection, which I think is a fresh idea.

   Rompers are going to be in as well, and patterns will forever be a trend during spring. Tribal prints and vivid colors are frequently being seen in this years spring collection and that makes me happy :))

    Pointed toed heels have been taking the shoe stores by storm lately; still not as popular as the loved wedge though! This spring, pointed toed flats will be a big trend, they're super cute and I can't wait to pick up a pair or two myself!

Hope everyone's excited for an awesome summer, and in the meantime is having a good spring! xo

New Trend: Overalls ??

Hey you guys! Hope you're all having a lovely day!
    Lately, I've been noticing the overalls trend being pushed. What do you all think about the trend? I personally can't see many people being able to pull that style off, I think overalls are hard to style! And frankly, the remind me of my childhood which I try to forget! Maybe I'm the only one whose been noticing this trend that's being hyped… ?

If I were to get into this overall craze, I like the shorts better than the pants, they look more spring like! It's kind of vintage and that style is still kinda going strong this season. Florals and the whole Frida Kahlo inspiration is hyped all over social media. I think it can be cute, but it is certainly not my cup of tea, I'll leave that up to women like Lana del Ray!


Flower child looks go well with overalls, but they can also be a chill dress down look for the spring and traveling! Not to mention an outfit like this is very cheap and I'm all about saving!

If you're not a flower child, there are grunge approaches to wearing overalls. The look below is so cool and edgy. It's a nice play on the overall style that I wouldn't have consider to look so cool! Wearing high tops or ankle boots like in the photo below would be a good look with overalls. Another shoe that I think would go great with this trend are sneaker wedges. If street and urban style is your type of hype, I say you should try it!

Another interesting play I saw on the overalls were this scarf! A cute infinity scarf looks simple chic and pretty comfortable. If you don't want to wear heels wearing vintage red shoes would also pair well with the striped shirt and scarf.

                 Ultimately, there are a lot of different ways to style this trend, and the fact that you could go to your local Goodwill to buy a high fashion outfit being sported in magazines like VOGUE sounds like a deal breaker to me! I guess I would have never guessed for overalls to become a trend, but fashion can definitely surprise you! I think it's a pretty innovative idea that could be styled with a lot of creativity, or even simplicity if just paired with a plain ol' t shirt. I kind of hope the trend picks up, it would be interesting to see more styles for this look!

Hope I helped, xo

Prom Update!

The time is near!! Are you guys excited??

IT'S PROM SEASONN

Click Here

Your girl loves prom. I love talking about it, even thinking about it is almost a little too exciting. It can be stressful to get everything together, especially if this is your first formal to go to. And if you're like me, your date doesn't know much about the event either. There aren't many blogs that discuss the topic (which is crazyyy) so I'm here to help! If I missed anything or you have questions, shoot me a comment and I'll get back to you asap.

This post will be more of a visual since the last one about prom was mostly me boring you with all my words. I'm more of a visual person, so I can show you better than I can tell you!

Couples Poses

If you have a special someone you are going to prom with, it's pretty important to capture the moment! Picking a location can be kind of tricky, but really in location will work, because you and your date will be the focal point of the shot anyway! Hope some of these examples help you out :)

Kissing Pictures

We all know the couples kiss pic is pretty cliche, but still are a beautiful moment to capture, it's not corny, if you want the picture don't be afraid to take it!

This is precious because they are not facing the camera, simple touches like simultaneously holding hands are special and can escalate the beauty of the moment.

This is just so cute because of the girls expression!

If you're more on the modest side like myself, cute pictures like the ones above come off as innocent and unplanned.

Off Guard Shots

Even though some off guard shots don't always work out, some people are good at staging them. If not, don't worry, just take as many as possible and you're sure to get one that you'll love!

This is such a beautiful captured moment, you can tell they were posing for a simple "say cheese" photo, but got this nice off guard shot by something funny he probably said!

I love this because how lovingly he looks at her! If the back of your dress has a stunning surprise, this will definitely be a must-have photo. The second picture of the bak of her dress is also a good pose to show off that dress!

The picture says it all, it's so fun and innocent and I love it!

Enough said ;)

Princess Photo

This is a beautiful idea, not only does it intensify the beauty of the dress, it's that fairy tale shot that every girl should want!

Simple and Beautiful

If staged couples photos aren't your thing, don't stress! Just keep it simple and you'll still get some beautiful shots!

Just a straight on shot smiling at the camera with the couple as the focal point can be just as impactful!

This is cuteee :)

In Texas, a lot of people are into truck photos! I'm not that country and neither is my date, but if you are than this would be a cute southern photo to take :)

Hair Styles

Here are some hair ideas for prom, most of them are curly only because I think curls are just so much more romantic and formal. Updos are generally more formal, but personally, I like down styles better mostly because of all the volume that is possible!

Curly do's

I love curly hair, not even just for prom it's so cute and girly.

Updos

This is a formal undo that is cute, especially because of all the volume.

Love this look, all it takes is super tight curls and a french braid!

Although I prefer curly hair for special occasions, this would be an easy look to do that's cute too!

Braided/Twisted Styles

Saving the best for last!! I really love french braiding, dutch braiding and twists, it's an easy way to play up a simple look. There are thousands upon thousands of YouTube videos over braiding, once you get in the hang of it it'll become second nature!

All this look is is a braided headband, super easy and cute! If your hair isn't long enough to wrap a whole braid around, try doing one braid on the left, and the right and bobypin it down!

This is so beautiful, just a loose braid on both sides of the head and boby-pinning them together.

Similar look as the previous one, only now it is a french braid!

This is a waterfall twist, this could be done as a waterfall braid as well!

If you have long hair, doing a loose french braid or a mermaid braid would be beautiful! Just use a lot of hair spray to keep everything uniformed.

This is an easy, simple, yet very beautiful style for a formal!

Prom Dresses

Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to fall in love with a dress online. Mainly because you may order it and it's not everything you imagined. Chances are, you don't look identical to the size 0 model wearing your dream dress. And there's something really special about going dress shopping and experiencing trying on all the dresses you want. But if you are going to order a dress offline, do as much research as possible, especially if you're gonna blow all your money on the dress! Read customer reviews on other sites, and search the item # and designer of the dress to see if you can get better deals!

Also, if you try on a dress in the store but it's over budget, searching the designer with the description of the dress can offer possibility of finding it for a cheaper price. I had the experience of trying a Sherri Hill dress on in a store, the manager told me that she couldn't take anything off the retail price, when I checked on the Sherri Hill website this woman was going to sell me a dress 200 dollars more than the actual designer!!! Please do your research, even in the store if you can to let your consultant know you know your stuff and you won't let them trick you!!

Hope I shined some light:) here are some reference photos! The best way to think when searching for dresses online is to just use pictures as a reference for when you actually go shopping so you can tell the consultant what style you're looking for. For example, I went in to every store saying I want strapless, but hateee halter tops.

Dress shapes

(Up to down left column) Strapless, V-neck, high collar (halter), one shoulder

Dresses with Slits/ High Low

Dresses with high slits are greatttt for tall people. They're not easy to come by, but very flattering on tall people.

Not only is the color on this stunning, but I love the slit. If your parents aren't in to something so sexy, it wouldn't take much to just stitch up the slit just a little!

Agghh if only I could find this dress! It's such a lovely color and again, the slit would be great for those girls with height. The high waisted belt slims your waste and can make your figure appear more shapely while also hiding any tummy budge :)

High low dresses are also good for taller people! This dress comes in other colors as well: 

Sherri Hill Prom Dress $195

Strapless

Although strapless is a pretty cliche style dress, I think they look good on most people.

For example as using references; I found this red dress online and found something similar to it at a local prom dress shop. Although I didn't choose it, it was one of the top contenders. Showing the consultant a reference helps them get a better sense of what you're looking for.

This dress is a nice simple but sexy dress. But beware, when buying something so figure flattering like this, there's no wiggle room for good food! I don't think any girl should have to loose weight for prom, but if it's just that amazing of a dress you'll be looking good.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the first dress anywhere else, or anything similar… I'm sure it was very expensive though judging by the organza and heavy use of crystals. I just love glitzy dresses like these that are attention grabbers!

Dresses with Sleeves

Isn't the back on this beautiful?

There's a lace underlay that is very classy and beautiful, this would be a great dress for prom!

If you have any questions leave a comment and thanks for stopping by.

Hope I helped someone and have a lovely prom :) xo
