Wedded Bliss

Love is in the air and what's better than a Spring wedding! 

Two weeks ago I had the priveledge to witness two beautiful friends join together in holy matrimony....everything was beautiful from the ceremony to the venue to the food to the music; I had an amazing night *sigh*

I wanted to wear something fairly simple yet elegant and so paired this light gray (my favorite color) one shoulder dress with my fav blush pumps and blush earrings. I bought this dress a few years ago on sale from H&M for a whopping $10!! With the neckline of this dress, statement earrings is all that was needed. 

A great way to conceal problem areas and hug the right places is a dress with rouging. Though I'm not a huge fan of my arms, the rouging offered enough visual interest to distract from wearing them out. Of course my phone died during the festivities so I didn't get to capture as many moments as I would've liked but you get the idea lol

Dress: H&M; Shoes: Anne Klein (thirfted); Earrings: H&M: Cuff: JewelMint, Bracelets: H&M

Anchors Away!


Hi Islers,

So I went on a cruise vacation with my bestie, her husband and my God-Sister a few weeks ago and wanted to share some of my outfits :-) A cruise gives you the opportunity to mix up your style from formal to casual to relaxed beachwear. We visited Kennedy Space Center in Florida and Nassau and Freeport, Bahamas :-)

Weekend Wedding

Hi Islers,

Hope everyone had a great weekend! This passed Saturday I attended a wedding and thought I'd share my ootd. First, let me say the dress I wore was a bargain and a true find! I didn't intend on purchasing something new for this occasion, as I had a formal dress already picked out. But I happened to be at the mall that morning and decided to "see if I saw anything" [anyone else use that excuse to shop? ;-)] I found the perfect dress that I knew would pair well with my plum fur stole at Windsor. Although, $50 is not a bad price for a formal gown, I just didn't feel like spending that amount that day. Nevertheless, I decided to try it on. Well, the fit is what won me over and had me marching to the register...and boy am I glad I did! I did a double take when the saleswomen told me my total was $9.99!!! "Excuse me ma'am? $9.99 for that?!" 

Needless to say this has been on of the best "see if I see anything" shopping trips I ever had! lol

Special shout out to my friend Joy for the impromptu mini photo shoot hehehe.
