wedding wednesday: bridal show

My girlfriend got engaged and we are beginning to plan her special day! It is so exciting! Just last year she was helping me plan my special day. Being able to support her during this is going to be a blast. She is getting married in September, so we are not too far away. Our first bride/bridesmaid outing was at a bridal show in our city. The show was full of ideas and quite overwhelming. There were plenty of cakes to sample, dresses to see, DJs and beautiful floral arrangements. Everywhere you looked were booths and brides to be waiting to see the latest trends in weddings. Every table/floral setting was romantic and soft, probably the trend in 2014 weddings. There was a lot of "grown sexy" (Catherine & Sean's theme from the bachelor wedding) cakes and florals. It was a fun afternoon with my girlfriends, and I think our favorite moment was meeting Emily Maynard from The bachelor & Bachelorette! She was so kind to take a moment from her wedding planning for a photo. We ran into her after the contest winners were announced. She walked passed us, and looked like a familiar face in the crowd. No one following her, just as she was a normal person. It was refreshing to see that fame didn't change her. A beautiful woman and bride to be! Take a look at our photo with Emily and the rest of the show:

  1. Bridal shows are, indeed, the best place to get ideas for a wedding. It won’t just give you the chance to know wedding organizers in the event, you might also get discounted price for services offered. Hope your friend got lots of helpful ideas during this event. By the way, I love the wedding dresses that you’ve posted. Is it among these the soon-to-be bride’s best pick? :)

outfit of the day: casual denim shorts and sperry's

what i wore: cynthia rowley tee, american eagle shorts, thrifted belt, juicy couture bracelet, belk's charm bracelet, old navy aviator shades, sperry's top-sider boat shoes. I wore this out for a few errands with the fiance. My car battery needed replacing, I have worn that thing out. Ex. leaving it on while taking naps during lunch. Don't do this ladies. Ha! This look is so comfy and definitely a repeat when I'm running around town.

makeup monday: blush shades

I'm wearing Maybelline Mineral Power in Rose I'm wearing Mark. blush from natural palette Blush colors: from left to right E.L.F in Coral Mark. Natural Palette Mark. Clutch on the go palette Maybelline dream bouncy blush in pink frosting Maybelline minerals power in rose Mark. Clutch on the go palette (2nd color) My many different blush color choices thru the seasons. I choose coral and neutral colors during the summer and when the fall/winter come I change to pinks and rose colors. My skin is a medium tone and rose/pink colors look best. If you are a lighter skin tone (like Emma Stone or Rachel McAdams) I would go with apricot to coral pink colors for a natural look. Hope you have a magnificent week! 

outfit of the day: bold blues

  what i wore: express (gift) blouse, thrifted skirt, payless heels, belk's pearl necklace and earrings   This look makes me feel lady like and business savy. I wore this look to the office. Who says your work wardrobe has to be dull? This outfit is office appropriate, but fun with the bold blue skirt. Get away from those gray and black colors. At the corporate office there are rules to your attire: the length of your skirt needs to be at your knee, no sandals, no tank tops or strapless, no leggings, no jeans/jeggings, no house shoes/tennis shoes/stilettos. With many more to list, I won't take up your day. You have got the idea i'm sure. =)   I just wanted to share this with any ladies who adore Lilly Pulitzer, they are having a sale and most items are 80% off! Great deal! www.lillypulitzer.com
