Fave Guest of Wedding Dress

Have you ever come across something while you're online shopping and immediately thought, "OMG I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE?" Well, that's me most days, especially when I'm browsing ASOS, but I usually have self-control and refrain from actually buying anything. That was not the case with this dress. I told myself to think about it for an hour while I worked on something else to see if I r e a l l y couldn't live without it (this is a good life skill to work on for those of you out there who love shopping as much as me). And for that entire hour all I could think about was, "What if it sells out of my size before I get a chance to buy it??" I think you guys all know how this story ends.

BUT, I am a firm believer that it's always a good idea to have a few formal dresses on deck for weddings, dressy events, or anything that pops up at the last minute (ESPECIALLY for anything that pops up at the last minute)! I've been in the situation where I've been invited to a formal or black tie event at the last minute, and had to scramble to find something to wear. This not only leaves you with limited options, but can be extremely stressful. So, when you find that perfect dress, treat yourself once in a while, and then find a reason to wear it later. It will look really pretty hanging in your closet until then. And as always, happy shopping Loves!

More Pearls Please!

Raise your hand if you love pearls. Raise both hands if you love pearl embellished anything, and have been wanting a pair of denim with these beauties adorned all over them! To say that I'm obsessed with this denim is an understatement. And I'd have to say the way that I went about getting them is kind of a funny story!

Did you happen to see my skydiving pictures on instagram a few weeks ago? Well, when we were waiting to go up in the plane for our turn to skydive, I was scrolling through instagram (like most people would have been doing, right?!) and I came across an H&M sponsored post. I started scrolling through, found these beauties (freaked out a little bit inside), and immediately called my mom to have her order them for me since I wasn't near my computer; in multiple sizes of course to ensure that at least one would fit. I think I was more nervous that we wouldn't get these in our shopping cart and ordered before they sold out than I was to jump out of a plane.......lol! True story of the lengths a fashion girl will go to get a coveted item for her closet.

I paired these jeans with a ruffle top from the new Who What Wear line for Target - if you haven't checked these pieces out, go ASAP! I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you can never have too many white blouses in your closet. The neutral color and go-with-anything versatility make a white blouse a closet staple that won't easily go out of style. I added a pop of color with my mauve velvet bag, and then found a pink wall to complete my outfit (pink wall not for sale). Velvet and metal ring handles are going to be popping up on handbags everywhere this season - grab items with these details when you see them. Anyway, happy weekend, and happy shopping loves! xoxo
