Wild At Heart

I had bangs a few years ago and after a few months of wearing it, I was so annoyed by the maintenance that I swore off bangs forever. Well, when it comes to hair, sometimes changes of heart can happen and here I am again with bangs. It does take a lot of up-keeping but I’m loving the newness, plus I don’t have to worry about bushy eyebrows!

If you have been reading my blog, you know how much I love bold prints and it’s even better when they are mixed together. I wore this leopard tunic dress (currently on sale) backwards because the front keyhole on the tunic was distracting the floral blouse layered underneath. It was also really long and loose so I added a thin waist belt that pulled up the dress and gave it a bit of shape.

Hope you had a great weekend and was able to watch the Superbowl. What a good game it was! What team were you rooting for? I was team Beyonce of course! :)

Forever Is Not Long Enough (+ PFC #16)

I can remember the details like it was yesterday…It was the most beautiful September day in Georgia as I walked down the aisle with butterflies fluttering in my stomach while the tune Canon in D by the O’Neill Brothers was playing in the background. I was a nervous wreck, but for the first time that day, I saw my better half, with tears of joy and a smile of an angel. Everything was just perfect from that moment on…

With so many friends tying the knot this year, I started missing my own wedding. Periodically when the wedding fever kicks in, I would put on my dress and run around the house in it. This time I thought it would be fun to do an “after the fact” bridal session. However, since my wedding dress would sometimes occupied an entire room (not to mentioned she will swallow everyone and everything that comes under her path lol), I opted for a lightweight, easy breezy little white dress.

Wanting a similar vintage look, I wore the same birdcage veil and headband that I made for that big day. I thought about selling these after the wedding but changed my mind because they are so special to me…I’m really glad I made that choice!

Petite Fashion Challenge #16

After finishing this photo shoot I realized how perfect this outfit was for this month’s Petite Fashion Challenge #16 hosted by the lovely Lauren of Petite on a Penny. Since Lauren didn’t specify if we should be dressed as a guest, I took the chance and dressed as a summer bride! Of course I’d never wear white (or off-white) to another bride’s wedding!! :)

The challenge: “Summer Wedding – Create an outfit for a summer wedding (the dress code is up to you). For bonus points, try to make your whole outfit, head to toe, come in under $100 (or, exclude shoes and accessories to meet the $100 mark).”

Hybrid

“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.” -Oriah Mountain Dreamer

What I fancy about skinny jeans are the skinnies with an extra dose of lycra thrown in…The Jeggings. Also known as the love child of jeans and leggings, these hybrid pants are one of my fave to-go-to item when I’m going out, running errands, or just lounging around on weekends.

However, over the past few seasons, jeggings was tagged with a bad rep due to many unexpected appearances of “the camel toe” and other bodily features that I’m sure you’re all aware of. But just because there are a few bad jeggings out there, it doesn’t mean they all bad.

As a devoted jegging’s owner and in the interest and protection of the jeggings species, I want to share a few reasons why I think they are awesome and should not be banished. Here are my top 10 arguments for jeggings.

10 Reasons why Jeggings are Awesome:

1. They are freakin’ comfortable.

2. Gain weight or eat a huge meal, you can zip up your jeggings and still breathe!

3. Black jeggings can totally be passed for jeans, but comfier.

4. It doesn’t take 10 minutes to squeeze into your skinnies.

5. Tucking your pants into boots is no longer a chore.

6. They are versatile and can be paired with heels, chic top, and blazer for a night out or a tee and ballerina flats for running errands.

7. You can do yoga in them.

8. Unlike “leggings,” you don’t have to wear a long top to cover your butt and can even tuck your shirt in your jeggings.

9. You can do cart wheels in them.

10. They are lightweight and are easily packed. Did I mention they are freakin’ comfortable?
