Fall Essentials

Happy First Day of September! I’ve been waiting so long for fall– it’s finally here! Bring on the pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin scented candles, blanket scarves, and well pretty much everything pumpkin flavored…YUM! Today’s post is all about what is trending for Fall 2017. I’m covering everything from head to toe for this season.

Fall Clothing Essentials

Fall is my favorite season for fashion…seriously. Dressing in layers is much more flattering on my body type and I love wearing the same outfit so many different ways. You can get away wearing the same outfit in a row..oops! I’m totally guilty of that. Essentials for me scarves, hats, and ripped jeans….ok and maybe a classic red lip.

Beauty

I am obsessed with the new Urban Decay Eyeshadow Palette! I love the orange, brown, and plum hues the palette has. The colors are so creamy and bendable giving you an incredible looking smokey eye. I love how versatile the palette is, you can go from very natural looking makeup to dramatic in seconds. I love the plum colors that are trending this fall especially this nail polish!

Tissura is a luxury brand that combines elegance and class to any design their fabrics are used for. You will see many high-end designers using their fabrics in their collections. You may even see them on the runways at Paris Fashion Week or New York Fashion Week! If you are use to DIY projects, you know there are so many factors that go into finding the perfect fabric. My favorite piece, the Corded Lace, is a beautiful off-white with cotton blend lace features an intricate botanical pattern from France. This would be a beautiful finishing touch to any intricate and carefully designed piece. The important part of finding the perfect drapery is making sure it gives your piece the finishing touch whether that is for a wedding, fashion show, on the runway, or just your favorite DIY project.

Ivory and Lace Bridal

A stunning custom piece is this Ivory Lace piece which is a really popular choice for this season. I’ve seen a ton of looks using this design on many tops, and dresses. The ivory and lace combined gives a very feminine and classic look to it. I personally love these designs and think they look stunning for all seasons and types of attire. I know we will be seeing much more of these designs. These pieces would be stunning for a wedding dress, or as decorating ideas! Learn more about Tissura here!

Happy Friday! Today I am sharing my favorite dress with you guys before it sells out from my boutique! This is a customer favorite — I love it so much I kept one for myself! My favorite part about this dress is the scalloped design on the shoulders and bottom. It is long enough to feel comfortable and the material is so stretchy. When finding the perfect summer dress to wear, it can be a total hit-or-miss… most of the time they show areas you want to hide, are too short for tall girls like me, or are just so thick and are way to hot to wear in summer. I have lots of exciting blog posts planned to be sure to subscribe to our newsletter so you don’t miss out!

Yes, I am wearing this dress in my last post..oops! When  in Vegas, I got so many compliments, so I took lots of pictures while at the pool since it was such a beautiful scenery & there’s only one left! So today, I am sharing this as the perfect dress to wear to a wedding!

Wedding Reception

When planning on what to wear for a wedding reception it is important to NOT wear a few things.

5 Things not to wear to a wedding:

  • White
  • Jeans
  • Bride’s Wedding Colors
  • Denim
  • Animal Print

White is the obvious when planing what to wear to a wedding. Usually dresses come in other colors than creme or white so immediately eliminate those two colors. Wearing the brides wedding colors is another obvious! Not only is it extremely hard to find the exact colors: from the bridesmaid dresses, to the centerpieces, and flowers the colors can be overwhelming. You definitely don’t want to add to that.

What to wear to a wedding:

  • Floral Dress
  • Little Black Dress
  • Jumpsuit
  • Above the Knee Skirt with a Dress Shirt
  • Tan Wedges are so cute with any dress or skirt
  • Black ANYTHING! It goes with everything..
  • Dress up any outfit with jewelry or heels

You can follow these rules for any wedding season! I hope this helps when finding the perfect outfit to wear. What’s your favorite go-to wedding look?

Hi guys! Sorry I’ve been a little MIA lately…I was in Vegas all last week and was revamping my site! I think it’s a lot easier to navigate and am so happy with the way it turned out. Let me know what you guys think about my new site in the comments below!

More and more I find myself navigating to dresses — they’re just so comfortable! I love how flowy they are and how you can literally just throw them on and go! Super quick and easy, which is always essential when you feel like you never have enough time to get ready anymore.. like me!

Last week when we were in Las Vegas, I took this Navy Blue Floral Dress and wore it for brunch one morning while we were staying at The Bellagio. Which was by far, THE BEST hotel we’ve ever stayed at! We’ve stayed at pretty much every hotel on the strip– since my grandparents live there and we go every Summer. The Bellagio had the best shopping, pools, and night life I’ve ever seen!

So you’re probably thinking…if you know me by now…what I bought. Well, the 8 month search is over and I finally bought my dream Louis Vuitton bag while in Vegas! I have been searching for so long and finally found a store. Vegas is not a small town in Ohio like where I’m from, so when I seen the Louis Vuitton Store, I knew what I was in for! Be sure to check out my next post which will be which bag I bought! Have a great weekend!!

Every wedding has such a different feel to it and that’s what I love! What consumed my attention was this country & rustic wedding– yet with such a classic feel. I love a black dress for a bridal party, it’s such a timeless classic with a total 1950’s feel. Now the best part, besides the makeup of course…was the bouquets! I have never seen an arrangement with such an abundance of color- my favorite the cactus looking pieces (which I think is called chicks and hens-so cute!) This bridal party was so much fun! It was a busy morning, I did 8 of the girls’ makeup!! We did everything from a flawless & fresh-faced look, to a dramatic rose gold smokey eye!

Thank you to Emily & DJ for allowing me to be a part of such a romantic and special day! I hope your wedding day was everything you’ve dreamed of and more! This newlywed couple traveled to Ireland for their honeymoon!
