Secret Garden

Secret Garden

Happy Saturday! One of the most favorite things I love about spring and living in the south is nature.  North Carolina is such a gorgeous place. The beauty of having four seasons, small-town charm, easy access to the beach and mountains, and beautiful gardens have me feeling spoiled. This garden gazebo was the perfect backdrop for a quick photo sesh to wear this Multicolor Wrap Front Maxi Dress.  I love the gorgeous vintage style which has a pretty dark leafy print over it.  It looks great paired with gladiator sandals.  I finished the look with a bold chartreuse jeweled necklace, a vintage crocheted handbag, and then topped it off with a vintage straw hat.  You know I couldn’t forget my hat! 🙂 I love prints, colors, dresses, and feminine pieces. This dress is seriously like a breath of fresh air.  Maxi dresses are quickly becoming my best friend this Spring! They are such an easy way to look put together, with minimal effort Photography by:  Sharon Bui What I Am Wearing: // Multicolor Wrap Front Maxi Dress // Romwe // Gladiator Sandals // Lasennia by JustFab // 1940s Half Moon Crocheted Handbag // Vintage // Straw Hat // Vintage from Father & Son   Love, The Ultimate...
Tropic of Discussion

Tropic of Discussion

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all are having a great start to the week.  All of the warm weather lately has me daydreaming about a trip to the tropics.  This fun and flirty vintage dress I scored from Goodwill for less than $10 USD is ideal for a tropical vacation.  The vibrant neon psychedelic purple and orange print with double bell sleeves is definitely an eye-catcher. I love that I can wear it as a vacation dress, but also out on the weekends bringing into everyday life as well.  The bell sleeve trend is one that’s definitely been around for a while, and I don’t think is going anywhere anytime soon.  If you become one of my clients, I’ll be happy to shop and get some of these amazing, one of a kind deals for you too. Have you planned your vacay yet?  This year I’m considering a trip to the Caribbean, but I would also LOVE to go back to the Amalfi Coast.  I haven’t decided quite yet, but where ever I go I’ll definitely be taking this dress with me.

Old Hollywood Glamour at The Oscars

Old Hollywood Glamour at The Oscars

Hey my fabulous Loves, Is anyone else as excited as I am about this weekend?  Not only is the weather going to be great, but it’s the weekend for the Oscars!  The night that fashion enthusiasts everywhere patiently wait for.   For some, the Oscars are all about the awards, but for others like myself, it’s all about the fashion.  Don’t get me wrong, I can only imagine how remarkable it would be to win an Oscar, but slaying that red carpet in my favorite fashion designer’s gown created specifically for me, would be just as phenomenal! I love today’s modern style dresses but I truly miss the days of seeing old Hollywood glamour, so for this blog post I thought I’d have some fun and channel an old Hollywood glamour look I’d grace on the Oscars red carpet. When I think about portraying glamour, one of the things that first come to mind is feathers.  This vintage V-Neck ostrich feather cuff maxi dress is classic.  The feathers forming the cuffs are wonderful, dramatic and breezy.  I added a simple rhinestone studded choker to top off the look.  Sparkle and glitz is beautiful and eye-catching, but don’t underestimate how a simple and classic look can be equally as stunning. This is the last hurrah!  I can’t wait to see who will take home this years honor of being best-dressed at the Oscars!

Celebrating friendship at the sweetest Galentine’s Party

Celebrating friendship at the sweetest Galentine’s Party

Last week I celebrated friendship at the sweetest Galentine’s Party at Babylon Restaurant.  The event was spearheaded by blogger babes Angela Keeley-White of Head to Toe Chic and Meghan Grant of I’m Fixin To Blog, who did an amazing job putting everything together.  They definitely know how to throw a great party! In attendance from left to right was Courtney Marshall of Courtney Fashionista, Tiffany and Lindsey of Baubles and Backdrops, Angela Keeley-White of Head to Toe Chic, Meghan Grant of I’m Fixin To Blog, me, Stephanie Emory of A Style Of Her Own, Carlone Barbee of The Barbee Housewife, and Molly Stillman of Still Being Molly. It was my first time at Babylon Restaurant, which is located in beautiful downtown Raleigh, NC, and the atmosphere was absolutely breathtaking!  Upon arrival I was taken back by the interior design which is overall romantic, and couldn’t take my eyes off of the hand-painted ceiling and ornate tiles. As you can see, the space was beautifully decorated with gorgeous floral arrangements, bubbly drinks, and the cutest cookies from Bailey Lane Bakery.  These cookies just melted in my mouth, and I couldn’t resist going back for a second one.  Babylon really rolled out the red carpet for us in terms of service, and I really enjoyed the flavorful menu from Morocco. All in all this holiday was a beautiful celebration of lady friends.  Each of these ladies inspire me, and I’m so blessed to know them!
