As seen online....

I love online shopping! Using promo codes and being able to shops sales are a great way to get some good deals.

I also love getting ideas for great outfits from blogs and Pinterest.

Here are a few items I picked up recently for this Spring and Summer (preg and post!)

As seen on Pinterest: Maxi Dress, $35 ($26 with shipping using a promo code)  HERE

I was hesitant to order this, since I never used the site before and was scared it would be from China and fit terribly. But after reading the reviews on the item and of the site, I gave it a try and I'm glad I did! The material is great and the colors are just as amazing in person.

As seen on J's Everyday Fashion Blog: J Crew Factory Top, $27 (on sale with promo code)  HERE

I really liked this color combo and already have a pair of shorts in the same color from last summer. Also pair with a yellow skirt, white pants, and a deep green skirt I have as well!

As seen on Pink Peonies Blog: Tees By Tina via Nordstrom, $98 (used $20 off Nordstrom note, so I got for $80 with tax) HERE

I am obsessed with this girls maternity fashion and a bit jealous she can afford a lot of the items! LOL
This dress was a one size fits all and I just loved the color! Fits great and really surprisingly flattering.

Cheap or Chic? Beyonce's striped dress!

 

I love this striped dress on Beyoncé!

The exact dress is still available at Nordstrom and pictured below, although it looks like she may have had the sleeves altered to be shorter in length. I like the look either way!

Lauren's Baby Shower

 

Recently we welcomed home Lauren and Sean and celebrated with a baby shower

at Pussers in Annapolis!

Lauren has to be one of the cutest Prego girls I've ever seen!

 

 

 

Since the shower was a co-shower the favors were for all guests :)

Concert in a cheap dress :)

 

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win Lee Brice with Cole Swindell tickets on local country music station 98.7 WMZQ! The concert was last Friday night at a small outdoor venue in St. Leonard Maryland, which is about 90 minutes south of Baltimore. If you ever get a chance to see an artist here, I definitely recommended it- there are NO bad seats!

 

I planned on wearing a silk Yumi Kim sundress, but as I tried it on I got blood on in from a small nick on my leg from shaving! Fortunately the dry cleaners was able to remove the stain, but I was out of an outfit for the night. While running an errand, I found this simple cotton dress, with a beautiful bold pattern and the XS fit like a glove! I ended up wearing this with a pair of Tory Burch sandals.

 

 

J & I enjoying the show!

RiRi's fash at the 2013 Grammys

I'm not a huge award show fan. Last night however, I watched a majority of the 2013 Grammy Awards. I loved seeing Justin Timberlake preform and the tribute to Bob Marley by Sting, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, and Ziggy Marley. I also liked seeing Price, as he presented the award for Grammy of the Year. The only way to describe him is " he is such a cool dude".

So anyway, I have been obsessing over the Azzedine Alaïa dress Rihanna wore during her performance of the song, "Stay" with Louisiana singer/songwriter/producer Mikky Ekko. The simple scoop neck and length mirrored that of a tank dress, but material and cut gave it that Hollywood glamour. It was not just form fitting, but beautifully flattering. Tunisian-born Paris-based Alaïa, has had a rack of celbs rocking his designs recently including Alicia Keys at the Super Bowl for her National Anthem performance. Rihanna's hot red dress was also byAlaïa which she sported to and during the same show.

Rihanna kept her look classic for both looks, sporting both red lips and nails. During her performance she pared the black gown with a Neil Lane diamond necklace and a simple crystal bangle.

Let's get real, this girl would still look amazeballs wearing a garbage bag!

I thought the black dress was fitting for such a deep emotional song. If you missed the performance, check it out below.

 

 

 

 I love seeing celebs rock sophisticated styles like these as opposed to blue hair and trashy dresses.

 

I'm keeping my eyes out for a copy cat black gown! If you see any, be sure to let me know!

Saying Sunday

I have always loved dressing up- always have and always will.

Last night, I sported an Armani Exchange LBD and a pair of Louboutin Pigalles.

Pictured below are two of my teammates :) The one in the middle was the birthday girl!

Ladies: Dress the Part

If you are a lady then dress like one. If your not a lady, well I can't help you there. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved to dress up. There is nothing more ladylike to me then dresses. From work to NYE and all there is between, the colors, patterns, styles, and colors are endless. I contantly find myself browsing sites like Dorothy Perkins (which the Kardashians now have partenered), Asos, Edressme, and of course all the random sites Pinterest takes me too. Speaking of, here some cute ones I've spotted lately online (most of which I cannot afford):

 

 

Kors, $1,595, here



$149, here

Jil Sander



 



$179, here

Lanvin, $1,750, here

This yellow blue color combo may scream spring, but I'm loving some of these parings for even the colder weather....

Sequin of Events

A few weeks ago, my Raven's BFF Lauren sported a beautiful Bebe sequin dress for her bachelorette party. Since then I've been seeing sequins everywhere and could not be more excited- what girl doesn't just love sequins? You can do a little or a lot and there are so many color options. This look isn't just for NYE anymore...perfect for a night out on the town.
