Starthir

Yesterday was my cousin's big day! Kelly (the Matron of Honor) opted to go for Kristen Stewarts luscious waves. I absolutely love her choice! Rather than doing a twist on one side, we decide a braid would be more fun for her. I snapped a quick photo of her at the house and then one of her all decked out at the wedding. She's so dreamy!

The weather wasn't so fantastic, but that doesn't mean a girl still can't be fabulous! My big fur kept me cozy and my husband brought our trusty umbrella to keep us dry! 

After the ceremony, the weather dried up, and I was able to get some shots of my dress. The blossomed trees were so beautiful! I'm glad we got to hang out ;)

Blossom

Only a couple weeks left before these blooms bid their adieu.
Every time I walk through, I'll sit in awestruck wonder until they do.
Gosh, I'm a lucky girl.

Have a beautiful day!

Electric Easter

Happy Easter everyone! Jesus is alive!! After a fabulous church service, I'm off the spend the day with my family. It's handy that I chose to wear the outfit I did. My heels are a perfect distraction to make my girls' Easter egg hunt that much more difficult! I mean what's the fun in an egg hunt without a little challenge ;)

Schizo Spring

I don't know how the weather is in your region, but where I live, it can't seem to make up its mind. One day I'm breaking out my shorts, and the next I need a sweater. This can be tricky when you are so badly yearning to put your winter wardrobe away for good. But all you need to do is a little mixing until you get the thumbs up for summer weather. 

Desperately wanting to pull out a spring skirt, but too chilled to bare my whole leg, I wore some over the knee boots. This is a perfect combo for breaking away from a heavy winter look and easing into something more light for spring! What do you think?

Gloomy Day

Today was a gloomy day. But I wasn't about to let all those clouds keep me down. In order to give my day a bit of excitement, I decided to dress with elements of flare.

Thick winged liner gave my eyes a little extra drama.

A braided top knot was fun alternative to a plain one.

**To achieve**

Place hair in high pony.

Separate your ponytail in 2 sections.

Braid each section of hair.

Wrap braids in opposite directions and secure with pins.

Your day can never be dull if you remind yourself that you're fierce!

Spring may not have been "showing", but I didn't let that stop me from flashing my bright floral print bralette! ( On clearance for $10 right now at Victoria's Secret!! )

Stay strong! Fight the gloom!

Love Marks.

Aaaah. Sunshine, shades, and one of my favorite dresses from 3 Sisters.

 For spring, it's time to bring out the bold patterns and bright colors. Lighter materials and softer textures will be the best compliment to the sun's kiss. And, if you live in an area full of rich history and beautiful sidewalk scenery like I do, a skirt with a little flirt is always a good choice.

Enjoy the sun!

A Walk In The Park

With this glorious spring weather around me, I've been trying to take advantage of it by getting outside more. There's a beautiful park near my place that's perfect for walks. 

Here, I went really comfy with my look by wearing relaxed fitting separates and throwing on some combat boots. What do you think?
