Friday, June 27, 2014

Happy Friday Loves! Today's look showcases what I wore to our rehearsal dinner for our wedding four weeks ago! I can't believe how quickly time has flown by since then! This tulle skirt was sent to me from a lovely online store called The Girl That Loves!! If you're like me, you've noticed the sudden popularity of these skirts so I was so excited to receive such a beautiful and well made one! Once I received it, I knew I would wear it at our rehearsal dinner, I received so many compliments, this skirt is a dream!

This custom necklace was sent to me by my friends at Onecklace and I love it! It features my new initials as a married lady! ;) It's such a dainty piece and conversation starter and I've received so many compliments. They've also provided a 10% off coupon code for my readers (GIFT1), so make sure you visit their Etsy store and I'm sure you'll find something you want for yourself or a loved one!

Honeymoon Paradise: High Waisted Bikini!

Wednesday, June 18, 2014

Hi Loves, as you all know, I've been MIA due to getting married! (Yayyy, I'm Mrs. Brown now!) and we immediately left for our honeymoon in Riviera Maya, Mexico! I took a Wedding leave of absence to settle into our new home and just relax. But I'm baaaackkkk and ready to go with some new material and fun surprises for you! We stayed at a gorgeous resort on Maroma Beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico, we immediately fell in love with the islands, we were at the beach everyday, my husband had several surprises for me through our week long stay there which I may share here later. I highly recommend a vacation to RM, Mexico with your significant other, friends or family. From the extremely sweet locals to the beautiful beaches and culture, Riviera Maya has some fabulousness to offer!

Mr. & Mrs. Brown! ;)

A year ago, you couldn't have paid me to wear a bikini here on the blog lol. But so much has changed in my life and I'm more confident in the skin I'm in, plus I can't preach about self confidence and not live up to it! I am having a love affair with high waisted bikinis this summer because they are flattering on most body types, and the retro feel of it just speaks to my personal style. Do you own any high waisted bikinis or would you rock one at the beach or poolside?

WHAT I WORE ON MY HONEYMOON!

With Peplum On Top!

Wednesday, September 4, 2013

Hi Loves!! In today's post, I style this ivory peplum top with a floral A-line skirt. There is something so chic and classic about a peplum top. You can style it with jeans, shorts, or like I did in today's look. Peplum tops not only accentuate curves but it can slim and contour at the same time, making you look sleek and put together. I don't see this trend going anywhere, anytime soon. How do you style your peplum tops?

>>WEDDING UPDATE<< We are moving full steam ahead in planning our wedding and we are are now in the [Decor] stage and we've been on the hunt for floral vases for our reception centerpieces among other things! My fiance and I spent most of our weekend searching for vases and we've found so many and I love that we have developed a vision for what we want out of our wedding and how it is slowly but surely coming to fruition. (Whoda thunk I'd become a DIY Bride?) It's nerve wracking but pretty damn exhilarating at the same time.

I just have to shout out my Fiance, he's truly amazing y'all! I thank God that he's not the kind of man that only wants to put on a tux and show up to the wedding, he has really been a thoughtful, helpful, sweet, and calming force throughout some wedding planning hiccups! Between him and my sister (MOH) and one of my best friends, I am feeling more and more confident that our wedding will be better than we ever dreamed of! ;) We are also getting ready to meet with photographers and see who is a perfect to shoot our engagement/wedding photos. All tips and suggestions on how to find a great wedding photographer are welcome!!
