White Wedding

In case you were wondering, this isn't a blog post about my wedding haha. 

I'm not married or engaged yet, but this dress and photo shoot put me in the bridal mood!

I adore this dress from Shabbybabe because it can be so many things! 

Depending on how you style it and where your going,

 this dress can be used for bridal or just a nice maxi to wear to the beach. 

Its made of cotton eyelet...I love the sweetheart neckline,and halter straps. 

It has princess seams that fit and flare for added fabric around the hemline. 

I enjoyed this shoot! I headed up to upstate New York to a gorgeous park.

I was surrounded by acres and acres of green grass and mountains.

This would be the ideal location for wedding photos

 if you happen to live in or around Upstate New York. 

I styled this dress with a faux blue Turquoise necklace.

The necklace really popped against the long white maxi dress!

Hopefully this will inspire you with some beautiful photo ideas if your a bride to be!

Summer Jam

Memorial day is only a few days away! 

After suffering through a long exhausting winter, 

I'm so thrilled the unofficial start of summer is around the corner. 

To start summer out right,

 I always need a few new sundresses to wear. 

Its hard for me to find a really cute sundress.

 Some of them are too short, or the fabric isn't right.

 My most favorite dress is this red paisley cotton mini from Shabbybabe!

Its made of 100% cotton that is very light weight. 

I love the richness of the color in this dress.

Its a deep berry red. 

It's  low cut and has a plunging back neckline which I love!

The dress slips over the head and is gathered at the bust.

 Its a flattering dress for any figure type.

I'm involve with this dress because its a day to night style!

Its great to wear to a casual picnic,and perfect to wear on a date night as well.

I spent a day last week strolling around a gorgeous Victorian estate in this little dress,and

I got so many compliments! 

Theres nothing I love more than a cute,comfy,sundress.

Japanese Silk

Being the beach addict I am, I'm constantly shopping for jewelry, bikinis, and cover ups!

I've recently gotten into wearing Kimonos for beach cover ups. 

I think theres something so unique about wearing a kimono over your bikini! 

Its much more fun than throwing on a t-shirt. 

I shop for vintage Japanese Kimonos. 

Most of the Japanese kimonos run large which is perfect!

They come in bright colors with gorgeous Asian prints. 

Unfortunately the vintage Japanese kimonos can get expensive,

 so I only have collected a few so far. 

When I was at Huntington beach,

 I wore my bright Fuchsia embroidered Asian robe as a cover up. 

It was gorgeous! 

This robe totally matched the Cali sunset in these photos!

It has golden floral embroidery, and a gold silk lining.

It looked great on over my bikini.

 I didn't think this kimono was going to work but it worked out great!

Boho beach style never looked so good!

Plaid Flannel Fun

I love to get dressed up in gorgeous dresses,

and love to wear bright abstract prints!

Although I do have those days when I like to kick back and be casual too. 

Lately I love the look of a plaid flannel shirt!

 You can wear it with shorts, jeans, leggings, and even sweat pants. 

 Theres something so classic looking about a plaid flannel shirt too.

 All of the flannels I own are men's flannels.

They are just better made in my opinion.

The men's flannel shirts have better tailoring,better plaid prints,and look better!

Even during the summer time when it gets cold at night, 

my flannels always come in handy!

 I like to wear them as beach cover ups over my bikini in the summer months as well. 

The plaid flannel is a wardrobe must have for me.

I wear them all year round,which I can't say for any of my other wardrobe pieces. 

While shooting at this beach during sunset it got so cold. 

This blue and white flannel made shooting so much more cozy. 

I made the look a little bit more playful with my New York Yankees baseball cap and my Jeffrey Campbell leather boots.
