A Homecoming Dress To Shine In

As I walked through the mall today, I couldn't help but get into "back-to-school" mode. I walked by tons of stores and they all had their summer merchandise on the clearance racks while more and more fall fashions popped up to replace them. Stores like Target and Office Max have their notebooks, pens, pencils, and school supplies ready to be bought!

My favorite part of going back to school when I was in high school was homecoming. It was always such a blast! There was a fun-filled week with games, a parade, coronation and crowning of the "king" and "queen", volleyball games, tennis matches, competitions, pep rallys and of course the Friday night football game followed by the homecoming dance!

I found this dress online today and I instantly thought that it would make a perfect homecoming dress! I love the color and detail of the dress. It is formal yet fun which is what I usually look for in a dress.

Riding Boots Are The Best Boots for Fall

As most of you know, DSW is my favorite shoe store! I feel like I can find something there for whatever occasion and I find it easy to stay in my allotted shoe budget. Since I am SUCH a shoe freak, I have to make a budget or my closet would be even more full and my wallet would be even more empty!

Right now, as Fall is fast approaching and Summer will be ending sooner than we think, I am checking out some fall footwear. I am really loving riding boots. You don't need to have a horse or live on a farm to rock these bad boys! Riding boots are fashionable and are a huge fall trend. They are the perfect heel height. Riding boots looks fantastic over skinny jeans, under bootcut jeans, over leggings and with western-inspired dresses (think flowy with light colors and floral print).

I can't wait to order these and add them to my collection! :) 

These Plus Size Dresses are Beautiful

I'm always looking for fun and fresh clothes to spice up my wardrobe! I feel like dresses can be worn to  casual events or formal events. It all depends on the accessories worn with it. This dress it so versatile because it can be worn with cute black flip flops and a black beaded bracelet for a day look at a casual event. It can be worn with black pumps, smokey eye make-up, and a black sequined clutch for a formal night out event.

Pacific Plex carries these fantastic plus size dresses. They carry an assortment of dresses from size 0 to 5X for all body types and sizes. They carry all sorts of clothes which vary from formal prom and bridesmaid dresses to yoga pants and everything in between. No matter what your style is, you can find something fantastic at Pacific Plex. They are on board of all the hottest fashion trends and have clothes at an affordable price. 

Nude Colored Leggings Are a Fashion DON'T!

Let me start by saying that I love leggings. I own some various-colored leggings because they go great in the chilly fall weather with a sweater or cute top. I have three or four pairs of black leggings, a pair of grey ones, and even a bright pink pair for when I'm feeling a bit crazy. They are one of the best fashion trends ever and I hope leggings never die out.

Let me also say that this woman is not naked. She is actually wearing NUDE-colored leggings. This is a huge fashion DON'T. Please, I BEG you, don't ever buy leggings that match your skin tone. You will look naked and funny, and may even appear on somebody's blog someday as an example of what NOT to wear!

Nude colored accessories are huge right now, such as nude-colored heels, nude nail polish, and even nude-colored purses. If you're wanting something to be nude-colored, pick something like your nail polish or shoes, but PLEASE not leggings!

Titanium Necklaces are Hot Right Now!

Women can sometimes be hard to shop for. I have been told several times that I am hard to shop for when it comes to holidays and my birthday! I laughed when I heard this because I feel like I am always wanting new things, especially when it comes to jewelry. For example, I am practically drooling over this beautiful heart-shaped titanium necklace! 

Right now, necklaces are very popular. They always have been. A necklace is something that can be worn with any outfit and makes for a great gift. The reason why I would love a titanium necklace over any other jewelry material is because titanium is very durable yet lightweight. I don't want a necklace that weighs my neck down and is uncomfortable. I also don't want a necklace that can break easily, either. That's why I love the proporties of titanium! It has all the great characteristics I am looking for in jewelry. 

Sparkle Boat Shoes are Fun

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know how popular boat shoes are. They are making a splash into the fashion room and are perfect in any season. They look super cute with shorts in the Summer, with capris in the Spring, and with jeans in the Fall or Winter. This is such a great fashion trend!

Boat shoes come in all sorts of different colors, styles, and sizes. I have a brown pair of Sperry brand boat shoes and a pair of grey boat shoes that compliment well with black outfits. I found these super cute and fun sparkle boat shoes and the best part is that they are on sale! They are pink and sparkly which is even better. They will add a pop of color and fun to any outfit!

A Dream of a Prom Dress

Prom was the highlight of my year when I was in high school! Now, my sister is in high school and it will be her turn! I have to admit, I am a little bit jealous. I don't miss high school my any means but I really miss prom!

It was so much fun to pick out the perfect prom dress. With that, came choosing matching shoes, cute accessories (jewelry and a clutch), the perfect hairstyle and coordinating flowers.

When the day finally came, it was so exciting to get ready with my friends. We helped each other and took so many pictures throughout the day.

Now it's time to stop reliving my high school days and make sure that my sister's are as fun as mine were! She really likes this dress, and she will look great in it! This dress would be adorable with some sexy silver heels and a matching sparkly silver clutch.

A Cute Fall Look

Fall is just around the corner! I was shopping at Target yesterday and saw the school supplies out already. Summer has been going by so fast, I can't believe it. I don't know if I'm ready to say goodbye to all of the fantastic summer fashion trends of 2012.

Here are some great fall trends to look forward to this year:
-high, draped necklines
-red! Crimson red is the new black and I couldn't be more excited
-sharp black and white contrasting
-fuzzy sweaters
-contrasting collars
-wide brimmed hats
-black and white print
-red plaid
-Bohemian print
-black and neutrals

I love this outfit! I wanted to show you all this great fall trend outfit. It's all black with neutral accessories to break up the black a bit. You are going to be seeing a lot of this in the fall season and it's such a great look.

Perfect Bridal Party Dresses for a Perfect Wedding!

I am the first to admit that wedding planning can be SO stressful. You have to coordinate everything involved in the day as well as surrounding events. It also can take a very big toll on a person's checkbook! It is stressful to coordinate and plan out the venue, guest list, attire, wedding jewelry, food, decor, beverages, music, ceremony details, honeymoon and more!

To take some stress out of wedding planning, I'm suggesting a fantastic website that carries bridal party dresses and a reasonable price. No matter what color scheme you have chosen for your wedding, you can find the perfect dresses for your bridal party. They have a ton of different styles, so no matter what personal style your bridal party has, they are able to find the perfect dress! 

This Hot Pink Clutch is Great for Going Out

I love to go out once in a while with my friends! It's so much fun to get together and have a delicious dinner, some great drinks, and catch up on each other's. Nothing beats a great girl's night out! :) No offense boys...

I found this great clutch that I know I will be bringing with me on our girl's night out! I shop for accessories all the time because accessories can make or break an outfit. You can make the same little black dress look completely different on two different nights out by changing your accessories. This clutch is fantastic because it is a bright pink, fun color. It has a snap closure and a wrist strap. There are also two interior slots to hold cards and an ID holder. It is leather and made my Marc Jacobs, which is even better!

This would go great with a little black dress and some cute hot pink pumps. 

You Are Never Out of Style With a Titanium Diamond Ring

There is nothing I don't love about a titanium diamond ring.  If you are planning a wedding and not sure what kind of wedding rings you want to have, titanium is the way to go!

Titanium is a great jewelry material because it is incredibly durable and strong. With the busy lifestyle that so many people have, it is important to have wedding jewelry that can stand to a busy lifestyle. These rings are also very lightweight. This makes the rings feel very comfortable.

With new designs coming out all of the time, titanium wedding rings are very modern and stylish. They have many different designs to choose from, so no matter what your personal style is, you can find the ring that best fits your look! These rings are great and will last a lifetime. They are without a doubt the way to go when choosing wedding jewelry.

I Never Head to the Beach Without My Favorite Swimsuit Cover Up

There is nothing I love more than a relaxing day at the beach. I can lay in the gorgeous sunshine while getting lost in a good book (I love a good quick beach read!). I could spend hours at the beach. It is like my home away from home.

When packing to go to the beach, I fill my favorite beach tote with sunscreen, my favorite shades, a cute fedora to keep the sun from damaging my face, the current book I am reading (of course), and of course a swimsuit cover up.

There are so may different styles of cover ups that I have seen being worn around the beach, and I own a variety myself. My recent favorite is my maxi swim cover up. I love maxi dresses and wear them all the time during summer. This swim cover up incorporates my favorite trend with great beach attire!

Beautiful Long Prom Dresses

When I was in high school, prom was always the highlight of my year. It's so much fun getting prepared for the big day! I loved going shopping for my dress, picking out the perfect pair of shoes, finding the perfect flowers to match my dress, getting fun make-up for a night out, getting pampered by getting my nails and toenails painted and of course finding the perfect prom up-do. Prom only lasts one days but the memories and the pictures last forever. 

This upcoming school year, long prom dresses are in. They are elegant and unique. You can never go wrong with a long prom dress. I found a great selection of fashionable long prom dresses. These dresses are great for any body type and can also be worn for a variety of occasions. The beautiful dresses from Pacific Plex are great for prom as well as homecoming, weddings, and more! 

The Perfect Cowgirl Boots

The Western look is still trending big time. It's no wonder, too! I watched the CMT channel on TV the other morning while I was "putzing" around the house. Holy cow those country boys are super super good looking. I think those cute men could make even the biggest city girl want to throw on a pair of cowgirl boots and a flannel shirt. I had to stop what I was doing so I could "ooo and ahhhh" over them!

I found these perfect cowgirl boots. Along with the Western trend, the huge trend of animal print patterns are still extremely popular. These boots are great because they combine these two hot trends. These boots are also perfect because they can match a brown outfit or a black outfit! You can really dig into your cowgirl roots in these boots, even if you didn't know you had any country roots!
