This Scarf Is The Perfect Accessory

I love wearing scarfs. They make the perfect accessory and addition to any outfit. I wear them in every season of the year. In the winter, I have warmer, thicker scarves and during the summer I wear lighter, thinner scarves. I have all different colors and patterns that I love!

I came across this scarf on one of my favorite websites, Etsy. I love this site because I can buy things that are homemade and unique instead of mass manufactured and a clone of everything else I see people wearing all of the time. People really take time to make the goods they sell on Etsy and I appreciate the effort they put into the beautiful things they create.

This is a beautiful scarf that I can't wait to order. I love the color and pattern. If you know me, you know that I love everything pink! The zebra pattern is fun and trendy. I would rock this with some dark jeans, a black tee, and some cute pink heels.

A Bridesmaid Dress That You Will Feel Awesome Wearing

I know you've all been victims of being a bridesmaid and being forced to wear a hideous dress. It's happened to me a couple of times.

Motherhood Has Great Clothes for The Expecting Mother

I hear a lot of complaints about the amount of maternity clothes available in the fashion world from my friends who are expecting babies. They said they feel as though there isn't a lot of choices when it comes to maternity clothes and they wish that would change. Being the good friend that I am--and maybe it's because I'm obsessed with fashion and clothes--I found a great place for them to get maternity clothes.

Motherhood is the name of the store and they carry tons of great maternity clothes that are trendy and available at very reasonable prices (a lot of expecting mothers don't want to spend a fortune when they are expecting a baby who add a lot of costs to the household income, which is understandable).

I love this sundress. It is my favorite! It is the perfect thing to wear to a summer event. A lot of pregnant women get uncomfortable in the heat of summer and that's why this dress is great. It is cool and comfortable while being very trendy. Better yet, it's only $29!

What You Should Know About Tungsten Wedding Bands

The whole jewelry market is buzzing about tungsten wedding bands right now and I am on board! I am obsessing over these rings because they are perfect. "Perfect", by the way, is not a term I just throw out there. It takes a lot for me to consider something perfect. So you know how serious I am about tungsten rings being fantastic and one of a kind!

Tungsten wedding bands have many great qualities and that explains their increasing popularity. They have become one of the most popular materials for jewelry and it is easy to see why. There are more selling than white gold or platinum.

Tungsten is a very modern-looking material. It has a light grey color. Tungsten is also very durable. It is scratch-proof so you will never have to worry about replacing a tungsten ring. They have a permanent polish to them, so you never have to take time out of your busy schedule  to worry about getting the ring polished. These rings will last a lifetime! If you are planning a wedding and still on the fence about what wedding bands are right for you, consider tungsten. You won't be disappointed in your decision to go with perfection.

Peacock Themed Weddings

Wedding season is here! This is my favorite part of summer. There are so many weddings to attend and I have such a blast spending time celebrating with my family and friends! Our fridge is full of wedding invites. One that particularly caught my eye was a pretty silver invite with beautiful blue and purple peacock feathers on it.

I've noticed a peacock theme trending a lot on Pinterest and from another wedding I attended this past Spring. This is such a fun wedding theme!

If you are planning a wedding and wanting to have a peacock theme and colors, I have some great ideas to share with you!

1.) Add peacock feathers to the bridal bouquet as well as the centerpieces. They are fun and inexpensive. You can get them at hobby and craft stores. If you look at the right times and shop around, they are often half off.

2.) Blue and purple look great together, so incorporate that into your bridal party's attire. You can alternate blue and purple dresses, or have them wear blue dresses with purple shoes or vise versa. It's so fun!

3.) Remember, if you want to go with this theme and don't want to go all out, incorporate it in small. Maybe you only want a feather attached to the program or invitation and want the rest of the wedding to be a purple or blue theme. It's YOUR wedding and that's the beauty of it!

Pumpkin Facials Will Make Your Skin Glow


I can't stress enough how important it is to take care of your skin! I regularly get facials to deep clean and renew my skin. A couple of other great ways to take care of your skin include drinking plenty of water, using sunscreen everyday (even if it's not sunny out, your skin can still get damaged), and getting enough sleep.

I love to treat myself to a facial every couple of weeks. It's very relaxing to take a break from everyday life and get the treatments that my skin deserves. I go to Cloud Mover because they have a great staff that also knows the importance of skin care. I always feel like I have just gone on a mini vacation when I return from Cloud Mover!

My latest favorite kind of facial to get is a pumpkin facial. They start out with a double cleanse. Then, it's time for an exfoliation with a pumpkin mask. This helps remove dead skin so there is room for fresh cells to regenerate. The mask is followed by a tone, hydrate, and SPF treatment. This is a great facial that will leave your skin glowing. You will look and feel great from the inside out!

It's Time To Get On Board With The Western Trend

"These boots are made for walkin', and that's just what they'll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you". I am a little cheesy at times, yes. And for that I apologize. But when I get excited about a fashion trend I go all the way! Even if it means a little song and dance.

This song was sang by Jessica Simpson in the movie "Dukes of Hazzard." She really pulled of the Western fashion trend in the movie, and oh my did she ROCK it. She looks great as Daisy Duke and became a bit of a fashion icon from that movie.

I am wanting to get on board with this trend. It is a fashion trend that I feel with stick around for quite some time (it already has--that movie was released HOW many years ago?). I'm sharing these super cute cowgirl boots with anybody else who is looking for some trendy boots. They are caramel colored and have a distressed look to them. These really can go with any outfit. You can rock them with skinny jeans, shorts (Daisy Duke's, haha), a cute sundress, or a skirt. You can justify buying new shoes when they literally go with ANYTHING. :)

The Perfect Little Black Dress


I am going out in a couple of weeks for my best friend's Bachelorette Party. I can't wait! I helped plan it and I know that it's going to be a great time. I had a hard time planning it at first because there are so many different things you can do for a Bachelorette Party that it can be hard to fit everything that you want to do in one night.

We finally decided on renting a limo, starting out at a fancy restaurant downtown and then going out to the bars afterwards to have a few cocktails celebrating my friend's last time being "single". 

I sent out the invitations to her closest girlfriends. I wrote on the invite that this is a "little black dress" event and that all attendees should wear a little black dress, and that the bride is to wear a little white dress. 

I came across the perfect little black dress to wear to her party, and I ordered it yesterday. This is a super sexy, fun dress that can be worn again to a different event down the road. It is reasonably priced and will look great with my hot pink heels and hot pink clutch.

Titanium Wedding Bands Are a Fashion "Do"

Titanium wedding bands are something that will always be "in". These tings are so modern looking that they put a twist on the traditional, boring wedding rings. You can get a titanium wedding band in any style that best suits your taste. If you are going to be wearing it the rest of your life, you want to love it, right?

There are many great things about a titanium ring. Titanium is lightweight yet very durable. Of all the jewelry materials on the market today, titanium has the biggest ratio between strength and weight (meaning no other piece of jewelry that is this lightweight happens to be as strong as it is). It's amazing! Titanium wedding rings will last a lifetime and always look great. Titanium rings are also more budget friendly than platinum or white gold rings. It's always great to save money, isn't it?

You will fall in love with this great collection of titanium wedding bands!

This Bikini is Great!


Bikini season is in full swing. As the weather heats up, it's a great time to update your wardrobe. I like to get a few swimsuits each Summer. If anything, it's an excuse to go shopping. I like to do a lot of my shopping online and avoid the massive amounts of people in crowded stores. 

I found this great bikini and am wanting to pass it on and share it. I love this bikini because it has a very sporty look to it. It doesn't look like a few strings holding together a tiny piece of fabric (that may sound old fashioned, but teeny bikinis are not my personal style). I also love this because it is not your run-of-the-mill black bikini. It has some color that is fun and bright. 

This would be super cute with some fun, bright sunglasses and some summery flip flops. I can't wait to order this super cute, sporty bikini and get it in so I can head out to the beach for a day of sun and fun!

These Are Great Party Dresses For Summer!

If your summer is looking anything like mine, it's BUSY! That is fun though, right? I love going from one event to another and using these amazing events as an excuse to really fill up my closet with party dresses.

This particular dress is one of my recent favorites. I can't wait to order it! It is the perfect dress for a formal outdoor wedding I am attending next month. The silver sparkle detail on the front brings focus and adds some simple bling to the dress. This will go perfectly with my silver heels and some cute, silver rhinestone earrings. 

There are great dresses on Pacific Plex for any occasion. This is my go-to website for all of my important events. I can wear these dresses to parties, weddings, graduations, dinner parties, dates, and so much more.

I can't wait to shine this summer with my new attire! Pacific Plex has all of the latest and greatest fashion trends and prices that I can afford. No matter what your style is, you can find dresses that fit. They carry dresses of all different colors, sizes, and lengths.

Retro One Piece Swimsuits Are Really Making a Splash

I am very sorry for the very corny title. I had to though--once I thought it in my head, I wanted to share. How can you not appreciate that beautiful and witty play on words!?

Anyway, I've been seeing more and more retro style one-piece swimsuits. They are popping up everywhere on beaches and at pools.I've noticed that this trend goes along with the very popular and upcoming Rockabilly style (see my past post about Rockabilly style if you don't know what I am talking about). You can trend this swimsuit out even more with a floral headband and some bright colored lipstick. 

I'll admit after seeing The Notebook, I wanted a swimsuit just like Rachel McAdams had. Heck, I wanted Ryan Gosling just like Rachel McAdams (Allie) had. It was a perfect example of a classic 50's swimsuit that was modest yet adorable. I can't wait to put my usual string bikini far, far in the back of my drawer and try out a retro swimsuit!

Fun Bridal Party Dresses Make for a Fun Wedding

I love being a bridesmaid. I have been in several weddings (yes, I am one of those "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" type person) and have loved every minute of it. And in case you were wondering, I've been in 8 weddings, not nearly as many as Katherine Heigl in "27 Dresses", hehe :) Anyway, it's such an honor to be asked to stand in a wedding as a bridesmaid. It's a ton of fun and feels great to support my closest friends and family members on their big day. It's great to be a part of the planning (which I am starting to get REALLY good at), the bachelorette parties, the bridal showers, and of course the big day!

It's important to have a great bridesmaid dresses. You want to look great (without taking attention away from the bride) while being comfortable (all of those pictures, standing for the ceremony, and dancing the night away). I found a great site for bridal party dresses if you are in a wedding and able to pick out your dress. These dresses are fun and stylish. They come in an assortment of sizes and colors to match the colors and decor of the wedding.
