Have you ever been a bridesmaid in a wedding and actually kind of liked your dress? Me neither. But hey, I believe there is somebody out there who just adored that persimmon colored dress from David's Bridal that made them look like a walking carrot, I'm just saying it's not me. Anyway, to the lucky girls who was actually bestowed the opportunity to wear and own a delightful bridesmaid dress, there is life after the wedding aisle! So pull out that dress from the back of your closet and zip it up...time to be a Bridesmaid Rockstar (BR for short, I'd like to think).

 

The first step, of course, would be to have a rockstar-kinda-bridesmaid dress. Enter in Weddington Way. Weddington Way is an online boutique started in San Francisco, CA that offers the modern day bride a wide selection of top brands in wedding party style. Their extensive collection of bridesmaids dresses, accessories, and ties for groomsmen makes it easy to shop for the entire bridal party in your perfect palette.

 

So you can imagine how excited I was when the good folks over at www.WeddingtonWay.com  reached out to me and asked for me to be apart of their November Style Challenge! During the month of November, they are asking fashion bloggers to virtually transform a bridesmaid dress of our choice from their Weddington Way bridesmaid dress page and create a traditional wedding day look as well as a weekend outfit using the same bridesmaid dress! I think I did an okay job, but let me know what you think. Have a good one guys!

Guess who's back from hibernation! Sorry I've been gone so long, I feel like I've left you hanging for a couple months! Teaching kindergarteners is no joke; they keep me very, very busy! On to today's post though...these pictures came out a little better than I thought! I wanted this all white look to really resonate with you guys so I went for a retro, black & white style on this post. It also helped that we shot at night, which made my whites even whiter.

I have been really loving this trend of head-to-toe, one color silhouettes. It's forgiving for a curvy girl and it can be shapely for a skinny one. The eye is continuous so you get a sleeker effect than you would probably get with a print (I'm still a print girl though, and don't you forget it!). I know you usually see head-to-toe black, but I wanted to experiment with a color I don't usually wear on the blog: white. It's such a pure and luxurious color; that scares the crap out of me. I mean really, one drop or dot and you're screwed. But I think it was worth it today. Let me know if you agree - until next time!

CARPE DENIM!

 

 

 

 

Linen Blazer- Vintage

Denim Top- American Eagle Outfitters

Denim Jeans- Forever 21

Heels- Privileged

 

Unless you're living under a rock, you have seen the many fashion styles of North West and her ever present mother, Kim Kardashian West, in editorials, Instagram pages or blogs. Literally, they are just the cutest things walking...but I digress. I recently spotted them in an all denim get-up: Kim was in a denim top paired with a denim skirt and North was matching, albeit in jeans. I figured I give it a try as well.

 

Today's look is head to toe denim, which I can't say I wear often (I only have about 2 or 3 pairs of jeans). I decided to add some color with the bright pink blazer and floral platformed heels. It's the end of the summer so why not add some spice before I go back to black! Oh, and let me just say the blazer wasn't as hot as you think- linen is a great material to wear because it's light and breathable and does not attract lots of heat. Hope you liked...and have a Happy Labor Day readers!

Who else is feeling AWESOME today! Not only do I feel like a princess today in this look, but I feel a year wiser; my birthday is this Thursday, August 14th, and I am ecstatic to still be in God's grace & mercy! That being said, let me divulge a bit on my fit- I absolutely adore the mesh trend and graphic word print out now, but I wanted to find a way to keep it classy, so I paired it with my midi-circle skirt I bought while in Atlanta, GA at H & M. This skirt reminds me of the 1950s when women were more lady-like and proper. This gave me the ability to tone down the sheer sexiness of the top (pun intended).

 

After that, I threw on a light leather blazer for night and a lucite clutch to keep it interesting, and I was out the door. But I know there was one piece of item I could not forget: the HEELS! I mean, look at these shoes ladies! The chevron print, the gold chain accents...what is not to love about these beauties?! I die...thanks to the good folks (hi Kimberly and Michele!) at Pink Basis. PinkBasis.com  is an incorporated women's clothing shop based out of one of the nations hottest fashion capitals in Southern California and owned by one of the largest online fashion companies, AMIClubwear. Their customers keep their fingers on the fashion pulse, especially for first-quality fashion products at unexpected prices.

Although these heels were sent to me (find them here), I wanted my readers and followers to have a chance at having a pair like these without spending a dime also! Thankfully, Pink Basis was kind enough to team up with Bite My Heath Bar and host two, yes TWO, $50 gift card giveaways! One will be hosted on my Instagram account and the other will be on my Facebook page. You will have to 'follow' and/or 'like' these pages to enter the contest and the rules will be posted accordingly. Both giveaways are open to US residents ONLY - sorry my dear international readers, I got ya'll later. So there you go! Now head on over to Instagram and Facebook and ENTER TO WIN! Who knows, maybe you will win both?! Make sure to leave a comment too, letting me know what you think of today's look. Smooches!

I have to scurry today guys and head to work, but I wanted to share a look from this past week I wore downtown. This striped top and patterned skirt aren't exactly what you would label as "matching", but I think the heels melted everything togther just right. Word of advice: Be very confident when you mix and match prints. You have seen me dabble in them these last few posts, but if you are not ready for the looks and stares, do not try this at home. Oh and also, I go by the belief that black & white are one color, so don't mind me. I pair EVERYTHING with them! Ha! Talk to you later!

P.S Shhh! I may be having a giveaway soon for you lovely readers, but you didn't hear it from me!

Necklace- Brown Sugar Collection

Rings/Earrings- H & M

 

My love is like WHOA! Especially in today's look! I chose to center my outfit around this fabulous 2 in 1 button down printed dress (sent to me from the good folks over at www.Stylzoo.com) by pairing it with all black. The fabric was light enough to wear as a top, but long enough to sport as a kimono or shrug.You can find this cute, versatile, summer dress yourself here! Oh! I can not refrain from pointing out the other statement piece- my necklace. I found this little treasure from an online store, www.BrownSugarCollection.tictail.com, based right here in Philadelphia! 

 

Although I'm a bonafide Jersey girl, I felt fabulous wearing this look around the City of Brotherly Love- Philadelphia, PA. This area is not only my birthplace, but also the birthplace of our historic nation, which we celebrated just last week on the Fourth of July. I really hope my American followers enjoyed the hamburgers, hotdogs, cool drinks, fireworks and family fun like I did! Until next time lovers!
