Since wedding season is just about upon us, I thought it would be fun to dedicate a couple posts to those of us who will be guests at these weddings. Yes, we all know that the bride is the star of the day but that doesn't mean that as a guest you can't put your best foot forward and show up looking fabulous! I have put together some looks that I think would be perfect to wear to a wedding ceremony.

Go Bold: I have noticed that wearing bold and bright colors to a wedding is becoming the new normal. In my opinion, if you are going to opt for the eye catching colored dress you should keep everything else neutral. I paired this gorgeous dress with some tan suede pumps, beige clutch & all gold jewelry to add a little sparkle, all the while making sure that you don't take this look too far.

Classic Chic: Honestly, this outfit is exactly what I would wear to a wedding ceremony. The powder blue with lace overlay on this dress is absolutely perfect for the occasion. Paired with these tan heels & beige clutch you just can't go wrong. Finishing it up with some classic silver jewelry, including the infinity necklace which seems all but appropriate, you will look understated, yet fabulous at the same time.

Which outfit could you see yourself wearing?!

Stay tuned for the next installment of Wedding Attire which will be all about What to Wear to the Wedding Reception!



Time to shop...

Just a few short weeks ago I joined Jenn over at Perfectly Imperfect & Whitney over at I Wore Yoga Pants To Work for their Nail Polish Swap. The rules were easy, we each got paired up with a fellow blogger, and were asked to shop for nail polish then package it all up and send it out to our partner. I have to say, I had a lot of fun putting together my package for Kristina over at Pretty Rambles {Go check out her blog & see what I sent to her!!!}

So what did I receive you may be asking?!



In my package I received four amazing new nail polishes {one for each season, super cute idea!}, Nail Bling from Sephora, a kit for an at home pedi & a lovely note :)

*This was the first swap I have ever been involved in & I am extremely glad that this was the one that I chose :)*

Have a Happy Hump Day!

As many people who know me, know, I am an extreme DIY-er. I love making things on my own & it always makes me extremely proud when I get to show it off. This past week I tackled probably one of my favorite projects to date, my chevron wall art. Andrew & I were struggling trying to figure out just what we wanted to go on the wall behind our couch & this little idea popped into my head... & of course I had to try it. {Worst case scenario, they turned out badly & I could just dispose of them}

Artist's Loft Acrylic Paint... Purchased from Michaels {Buy one, Get one Free at the time}

Here are all of my supplies sat out... Canvas, Paint, Paint Brush {also from Michaels}, Pencil & Ruler

It looks a little messy but that's just because I wasn't too precise with the first color, I went back in after and cleaned it up a bit

I tried multiple times to get a "true" picture of the color but it just wasn't happening, it really isn't that yellow in person but you get the idea :)
