Showing Myself Grace During Quarantine

Happy Wednesday friends!

Hope y’all are having a great week! I wanted to share this fun dress from London Times that is perfect for all your Spring and Summer parties, this would be great for a wedding or wedding festivities, lunch, shopping you name it! It’s super comfortable and light weight. This would even be cute with some sandals or wedges and maybe a clear bag! I paired mine with some amazing heels from Stein Mart and fun earrings from St. Armands Designs!

Also as things start opening again and we try and normalize everything I wanted to remind you whether or not you gained or lost weight during this quarantine not to beat up on yourself and love yourself regardless if your jeans are now a little tight or not. Remember to show yourself grace and appreciate your body, love yourself!

Talk to you next week!

Stay @ Home Chic

Happy Wednesday babes!

Y’all know I love London Times, their dresses are so chic and classic and perfect for every occasion! I wanted to share this super cute white number especially for all my future brides out there or any of you girls looking for a great white summer dress!

As we continue to spend most of our time at home I wanted to showcase this look at home and how I thing you can still dress up and be at home, do whatever makes you feel beautiful and comfortable! Are you wearing mostly lounge wear or wearing normal day to day clothing as you were going to work?

When we are able to go out again this is the perfect dress for brunch, shopping, or just running around it’s so put together but would be great with sandals too!

Spring Shoes & Accessories Must Haves-Featuring Vionic Shoes

Happy Wednesday Babes!

Last week we talking about spring fashion and some trends that are huge for spring. This week I want to share some ways I accessorize for spring and my go to accessories for spring!

Being a Florida girl I love my sandals not just for Spring and Summer but year round! I’ve been obsessed with these Gold Kirra Perf Sandals from Vionic since I received them! They are super comfortable and provide actual support to the arch of the foot and are super well made! I highly recommend checking them out for comfortable and stylish shoes!

Also with sandals I love a few other keys accessories for spring; I love headbands, statement earrings, and bags! Especially for spring I’m living for the clear bag trend still along with a good white bag, making any look more spring! Headbands have been all the rage for the last several months and spring is no exception, Amazon has tons of great affordable ones! Y’all know I love my statement earrings and Kate Spade have some of my favorites for this time of year!

What are your must have spring accessories? Let me know below!

So great for the holiday and all year long! A must!

If you have been looking for the perfect holiday/New Year’s dress look no further the Tucker Dress is the one! I love that the sequins aren’t scratchy and this is totally wearable! The cut again with the faux wrap and gathers gives that ideal illusion of a smaller waist that we all want! This look is one of my favorites, super glam and just such a great festive party look! I made this my own black and white look with the white heels and the sparkly bag and earrings it just screams holiday to me! Cheers!

What would the holidays be without a red dress?! I feel like a red dress is a classic staple to have in your closet and the Andre in Merlot is perfection! Again a great cut for any figure with the detail at the waist! This is glittery deep red and perfect for holiday season! I love the length of all the dresses how they are great whether short or tall, curvy or slender, the cuts and style seem to really work for everyone! I also love the sleeves on this dress, I’m a sucker for a dress with sleeves! The red also is a great shade and tone for any occasion!

Saved my favorite for last! The Jinaan in Navy is my ideal dress! The fit and flare cut and the 3/4 sleeves with the detail and the neckline is something I would wear everyday! I absolutely love the fabric and how it’s easy to style with a fun bag or accessory it’s easy to make your own! Y’all know I love blue too so I naturally love this dress! I definitely channeled my inner Blair Waldorf for this look with the pearl and velvet head band and the bold silver heel and silver bag, again a look great for holiday and year round whether going to the office or out to dinner this dress is a MUST HAVE!!!!

Random Rambles

Not much to share on the wedding front this week, i’m working on bridal shower thank you’s as well as preparing our formal invitations to be mailed out! Otherwise that’s about it right now!

This week I’m more just sharing some random rambles here on the blog…If you saw my Instagram post yesterday I was talking a lot about manifesting and creating your own success. I promised I would share more and I will but just a small bit I have been really working behind the scenes on truly creating the life I want to live! I have been manifesting, praying, and working towards some big goals and when things start to happen and take shape there is nothing better! Over the last few weeks I’ve seen some of that hard work pay off and gosh is it satisfying! There is still a lot of work to do and I believe everything will happen we it is supposed to, but it feels good knowing that hard work and trust in the process is paying off!

Also working on more budget and financial things lately, the price you pay to get married and really adult. I’ve always loved numbers and seeing what is possibly financially. We are considering the Dave Ramsey program to set us up for future endeavors and start this marriage off right. Have you used this program? Did it work for you?

Lastly moving. When the time is right we will be making a move, not far but closer to the water and my family. If you have followed me for a while you know that my heart is not here in Orlando. I moved here 7 years ago to finish school at UCF and to see where my relationship would go with Travis. 7 years later we are engaged about to be married, I graduated from one of the top schools in the county and am ready to move. Orlando is super busy and congested for a girl that grew up in a beach town, and hi where is the water?!?! You have to drive over an hour to get to the beach and soul can’t take it anymore. So dramatic I know but the truth. Orlando was never meant to be a permanent part of my story and it has severed a great purpose in my life, we have amazing friends here, great colleges, fun places to go but it’s not home, if that makes sense. I’ll share more with this journey as well as we go as right now we aren’t moving super soon.

Have a great rest of your week!

Wedding Update-86 Days Away

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

This week I wanted to share a wedding update with you and share the most recent things we’ve done and what we have lined up as we are in the home stretch, less than 3 months away, where did time go?!

2 weeks ago we went home to the venue for our tasting and to get a preview of our tables for the reception! It was better than I could’ve imagined the table was perfection! Out theme is very romantic and classic with blush, rose, and ivory tones with touched of rose gold and it was beautiful!

But let’s be honest one of the most important parts of a wedding is the food! What do you remember most about weddings you attend? The dress, the drinks, and the food hands down! So the food and drinks are super important to us, huge foodies here and I especially want people to remember that we had awesome food at our wedding! The tasting did not disappoint we tried several things that would be severed that day as we are doing stations and have tons of options so we tried something from each station basically, all AMAZING! Truly so good I can’t wait for everyone to eat up that day and enjoy themselves!

As for things we have coming up….I have my first dress fitting at the end of the month along with booking out hotel and making ceremony and music decisions are at the top of my list! We have our rings, attire, vendors, almost everything. We are just down to the small stuff now it’s all happening so fast!

I’ll keep you posted as we continue the process! Have a great rest of your week!

Fall Season with London Times

I’ve teamed up with London Times to share a few pieces from their October collection and let me just tell you I’m obsessed! First off is a jumpsuit and y’all know I LOVE a good jumpsuit! You’ve been seeing quite a few of them here on the blog recently and they are here to stay! Just like a dress I love that a jumpsuit is a complete outfit, one piece and done! The Lu Jumpsuit in Navy is the most perfect outfit for fall and even going into the holidays! It’s super well made, double lined and has this beautiful metallic threading throughout to give it a little shine. Seriously so beautiful, I especially love the cut and style with pockets, belted waist, and perfect neckline! This is a timeless piece that you will wear over and over again! I paired it will a cranberry velvet bag and a light gold kitten heel as this is definitely something I could wear from office out to happy hour or shopping! A must have, check it out below!

Second look I want to share with y’all is the Anika Dress in Eggplant. This dress is perfect for all year long, the color is one of my favorites and one I especially love for Fall and Winter Season. I love the details on the cuffs of the sleeves as well as the different sheer fabric used for the sleeves along with the gathering to define a shape! I think the cut is so flattering for any body type as it is fitted and then floats away from the body helping emphasis an hourglass figure, what woman doesn’t love that! I dressed up this look with a metallic clutch and white heels with silver accents to go with the silver embellishment on the sleeves! Such a great dress, again another timeless piece that you will wear over and over again! Check it out!

Make sure to check out these pieces along with the other fabulous pieces from the London Times October Collection over on the London Times site HERE these are timeless pieces that are worth the investment! Let me know what your favorite look is below!
