Welcome to My New Home!

Finally after months of trying to migrate everything from Posterous, my blog is up and running! I have had a ton of exciting adventures to share with you but couldn’t. You can definitely expect a ton of posts in the next few weeks while I try to catch you all up on my life!

I’ll definitely ease back into it with a picture of my outfit from yesterday. I was super excited about it!

The dress is from Express and is perfect for summer. It’s fun and airy and pairing it with another bright color (like this Gap cardigan) helps make it the dress for summer. I also bought this dress in coral with tan. I’m excited to try that soon!

My wedges were Tory Burch, and a lot more comfortable than they look. It may have been the platform in the front that helps keep my foot more level and still provides good height. I am not going to lie, the ankle strap can be a but annoying after awhile but nothing horribly aggravating.

Since the colors were so bright, I opted for minimal accessories: a necklace, a belt and my watch. I purchased my necklace in Brasil a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! It has the geometric shapes which I like, but the neutral light blue color makes it easy to pair with almost anything I own.

With the weather constantly changing, have you started wearing summer brights yet?

My Dream Dress

I’ve been doing my best to keep at this blog. When I actually post, I am really excited about it. But like everyone else in the world, I have a million other things going on and I get easily distracted. I promised myself to be better about acutally keeping you up to date on what is going on and I think I am doing a pretty decent job so far.

My friend got married two weeks ago and I used that as an opportunity to wear my dream dress! Now, I know what you are thinking… “sure… you are always looking for dresses, what makes this one so special?”

Well, I’ve been wanting this specific dress for months and couldn’t find it anywhere. I saw it online and had to have it, so of course I ordered it 3 times and went to numerous boutiques and NO ONE HAD IT! I’d been looking for it since June and finally found it in October. The last time I was this obsessed with a dress was my Sue Wong dress that I first saw on Pretty Little Liars. I mean come on… a girl is allowed to have a long and a short dream dress… right? Haha. The entire dress is turquiose with dark purple flowers on it. The top is full of gems that trail down the left side of the body. It caught my eye as soon as I saw it, even though I rarely wear patterned formal dresses. I added cap sleeves to it, as the dress was originally strapless. 

The best part of the entire outfit was definitely my nails (of course). I took out all my nail polish and was able to find a perfect match to the base color and the flowers! On my fingers, I used “Turquoise and Caicos” by Essie with a “Vampsterdam” by OPI flower. On my toes, I did the opposite. I decided to do “Vampsterdam” as the base with a “Turquoise and Caicos” design. I think it looks pretty fun.

All in all, the wedding was a great time and I’m very excited for my friends. I know they will be very happy together and hope the best for them. I ran into her yesterday and she was very happy :). 

 

Finally, my blog is getting a much needed makeover. I hope to have it all set up and ready to go by the end of the week. I hope you all will like it! It’s definitely a lot more colorful than what I have now (see I told you I am getting serious about this posting thing). 

 

Happy Monday!
