hey all!

i know its ALITTLE on the early side, but PROM SEASON IS UPON US! pretty much as the start of march comes, so does prom season! mine is on april 14th (i believe!) and i’m so excited to attend my senior prom. in searching to find my perfect dress, i have been seeing so many beautiful dresses of course, i had to make a collection of some of my favorite early prom dresses! i have picked dresses from several different price points, from just under $100 and up till $500 (which is totally unattainable, i understand!)

as always, a note to all my readers – this post does not mean i own any of the above, or that i will buy any of the above. it just means that i like it visually and (unless noted) i do not own it; all that i will write about is stuff i hear from friends and other users of the product as well as the visual aspects of the product which i will mention in the comment below!

#1: monique lhuillier floral jacquard maxi dress

this is a beautiful dress, i love the print and the length. it’s perfect because it allows you to see any shoes you might wear and you wouldn’t trip on it on the dance floor! also the neckline is beautiful and would look amazing with a simple necklace.

#2: wayf jamie ruffle wrap gown 

i love this greek goddess style dress, with this dreamy blue color and totally attainable price point, you can do your hair up like blake lively! it would totally pair well with strappy sandals and a bright clutch!

#3: wtoo convertible strap gown 

i am loving this ‘victorian’ purple color, for under $200 this simple dress would look beautiful with loose and beachy waves for any girl!

#4: jill stuart faux wrap satin dress

first of all, you guys know my love for wrap dresses, and this satin dress is absolutely beautiful. i love the satin fabric and the light grey color is perfect for almost any hair color pairing!

#5: alfred sung strapless sateen gown 

i am in love with how simply beautiful this dress is, last year i had a sateen dress so i love the simple yet beautiful style. although i wouldn’t put myself in a strapless dress, (my shoulders are too wide!) i love how they look on others!

#6: jenny yoo chiffon spaghetti strap gown

i also love the simple goddess like style of this dress. it would pair so well with beautiful gold strappy sandals and gold accessories!

hey all!

since i’ve been a been a little slacking on my blog lately i decided i needed to make a super organized and researched post for this sunday, and since its the resort wear season i thought it sounded perfect. it was super fun to research items and thinking about what i would like to wear, and share with you guys! of course, i scoured my favorite places: nordstrom, kate spade and cult gaia to find the best for you all, in sharing i got to view all the stuff  too!

once again, a note to all my readers – this post does not mean i own any of the above, or that i will buy any of the above. it just means that i like it visually and (unless noted) i do not own it; all that i will write about is stuff i hear from friends and other users of the product as well as the visual aspects of the product which i will mention in the comment below!

#1: topshop stripe wrap suit

i love one pieces, and this is a black little number but definitely has a super cute twist, the stripe wrapped section. its super cute if like me, you are a little insecure about your midsection!

#2: geo-sphere drop earrings

these nordstrom bp earrings are super cute colors, and are definitely derivative of my favorite baublebar earrings! i love the little geometric shape in the middle and would love to wear them with a cute off the shoulder dress!

#3: baublebar drop earrings 

these are a little different but definitely are super cute, and white is always in season in your resort wear and would be super cute to pair with any of the navy dresses i have in this post!

#4:   cult gaia ark bag

y’all KNOW i love this guy, to me this bag is so iconic, and is not only perfect for your resort wear, but ALL summer, and with many different outfits.

#5: marc fischer ‘randal’ wedges 

marc fischer officially makes the best espadrille sandals, i mean, they are ALWAYS super cute, but i love this style especially because of the little criss-cross over the top strap! super cute and versatile, for resort wear and all of summer!

#6: kate spade 3d aligator bag

this is probably the most unique item i have on this list, but i AM in LOVE with this bag and am totally coveting it! first of all, i love the shape, and kate spade seriously always nails it on the more kitsch-y things, but i love the basket weave going on there too, and would totally get it if it was more versatile!

#7: lilly pulitzer off the shoulder dress

everyone should have a white off the shoulder dress for summer, they are perfect (for summer) for their versatility!  wear it on a date, brunch with friends, a party or any other event! dress it up with those marc fischer espedrilles, or dress it down with flat strappy sandals, or with gladiator sandals. this lilly pulitzer one is a great investment because they are ALWAYS made well and will be well worth your money!

#8: free people daisy off the shoulder dress

i think this is a super unique dress, and i love the longer balloon-y sleeves! so cute over a bathing suit or paired with flat sandals and the cult gaia ark bag for a fairly simple look that will definitely seem more put together!

#9: ray ban evolve sunglasses 

i believe i have talked about them many times before, but for christmas i opted for these ray ban evolve sunnies, and cannot be more excited everytime i put them on. i have super light eyes (blue eyed people in the HOUSE) and because of their special lenses i always feel like i can see perfectly well without sun damage!

#10: le specs the last lolita sunglasses 

AH i am loving the tiny sunglasses trend (i see you KANYE) and i am absolutely loving this sorta cat eye shape. i think its super unique and i love that its back in style, and totally pairs well with any look from this list!

#11: caslon ‘claire’ slip-on sandal

i am LOVING these sandals, i saw them in my nordstrom store and fell in love, they are super cute and i just love flat sandals – and think they are the perfect casual comfy shoe for the heat!

#12: j.crew saffiano leather pouch

pouches as bags is another one of my favorite trends, and this super cute bright yellow j.crew one will pair very well with anything navy blue, white or black (ya see my color scheme!) to provide a pop of unexpected color.

#13: soprano strapless striped romper

for some reason i am a huge fan of this strapless romper, like i LOVE the look and think it would pair really well with the caslon ‘claire’ slip-on sandal and the le specs the last lolita sunglasses  for a super cute put-together look!

#14: j.crew grosgrain suit 

well when i saw this suit, i decided i had to have it, and although i don’t have it right now, i love the grosgrain bows as straps, i think they are the perfect amount of preppiness for a resort wear style!

#15: rebecca minkoff bow slide sandal

finally, last but CERTAINLY not least, these espedrille sandals are super cute, and i am loving the bow detail on the front!

well, i hope you guys enjoyed and feel free to shop the links as you please!

hey all!

did i mention yet that i am in love with belt bags? i DEFINITELY did! i love the style of wearing them crossbody like kendall jenner and gigi hadid do (and one of my favorite bloggers: song of style) i think its a super chic look and something totally unique and honestly pretty trendy and cool. it can pair well with a dress, denim, skirts or any pants too! its honestly such a versatile look and today i collected a few of my favorite belt bags in all different price points and different styles and colors depending on if you like simple or absolutely gaudy!

once again, a note to all my readers – this post does not mean i own any of the above, or that i will buy any of the above. it just means that i like it visually and (unless noted) i do not own it; all that i will write about is stuff i hear from friends and other users of the product as well as the visual aspects of the product which i will mention in the comment below!

here we go!

#1: pop & suki camera bag ( + belt bag strap )

this pop & suki camera bag is super cute, versatile & PERSONALIZABLE! you can put it together with a few different cute accessories, switch up straps and more! you can get different keychains and switch it up as you please! for it to be a belt bag it has to have the strap (which i linked above)!

#2: rebecca minkoff embellished belt bag

this is a fairly simple yet cute bag! it is on the middle pricing side and has super cute little embellishments on the bag with stars and constellations! super cute to pair with a plain dress.

#3: steve madden ‘w – bugged’

this one is on the gaudier side, but still super cute! i love the bugs and its a little bit similar to a gucci belt bag with little butterflies on it to! and its only $54 so its a perfect cheaper belt bag!

#4: ysl belt bag

i love this bag because not only is it simple but it has this adorable little tassel on it! the tassel is just a bit of style and if you are into designer stuff YSL is definitely the way to go.

#5:  topshop quilted faux leather belt bag

this is also a little cheaper version of the next gucci belt bag! i love the quilting and the red color and it too is only $50! its perfect in red as a little statement piece on top of your outfits.

#6: gucci matelasse belt bag

this is probably the most classic trendy belt bag out in the market! you’ve likely seen it everywhere, it comes in a beautiful red, pink and the black one shown here! its a little out of the price range of me, but if i were to go designer on a belt bag i’d get this one for myself!

#7: nasty gal hippie belt bag

just another classic belt bag! this one is perfect in size and can definitely carry a bit more and would be substantial for all of your travels!
