Bridal Shower Bliss





For as long as I can remember my mom would throw us family tea parties. They were small; just her, my dad, me and my sister. We loved them! We all got to pick one thing we wanted to eat. She would pull out her good china and decorate the coffee table. We would all gather round and enjoy our "tea" party. It was one of my favorite family moments. So, naturally when I got engaged they threw me a bridal tea party shower. It was amazing! Small tea pots were filled with my favorite flowers. We had tea party sized food and hot tea ( which is the only way I drink tea, and is kinda weird because I grew up down south where it is ice tea year round). When it came to picking out my dress for the occasion, I knew I wanted something that looked a little proper yet was modern and floral. I got on the Internet to shop and I landed on Asos and found the perfect dress. It was the first dress that came up when I searched floral, and it just said "wow"! It fit perfectly; best part is I can wear it to work as well. I paired it with rose gold studded pumps, a rose gold watch and bracelet.  There is nothing I don't love about this dress. So, if your looking for a floral pop or just a fun dress to wear to work check this one out!

    With my beautiful mom, who's outfit I picked to coordinate with mine. lol

Orange crush!







I have had this dress for a little over a year now and have worn it so many ways. So, when I was on the BCBG site and saw that it was still on the site to buy I knew I wanted to do a post on it. I styled it with gladiator sandals for my wedding trip to Texas. However, when I got to Texas and was running wedding errands I ran into and fell in love with these fluffy shoes! I just can't get enough of them! You know that moment when you see something and you say "wow I have to have that" well that's what happened. I learned the wow factor from my mom a long time ago and have fully put it into practice in my life. I also used it when styling clients at work, if it doesn't say "wow" I don't buy. If I buy it when it doesn't say "wow" it either ends up staying in my closet for me to forget about or I end up returning it. Either way I lose, I lose money if it just sits in my closet and I lose time returning it. So, make sure no matter what your purchase ( a pillow, ring, or couch) that it always says "wow"! 

P.s this dress is sooo comfy and is good for those days that you either want to eat a lot or just feel bloated! Lol
