In a trance.

This weekend happened to be one where we were actually home.  Subsequently, I found myself at the mall.  kidding.

But, all jokes aside, I did find myself at the mall because hubs was actually in "need" of new clothes for the summer.  Aren't guys funny?  So many of them don't shop unless they have absolutely run all of their clothing options into the ground and are left with practically nothing.  Me, on the other hand... =P

Anywho, so, J left the mall with a few bags of goodies from Express.... and I found myself at Forever21.  In a trance.  Per usual.  

And I walked out with my own bag of goodies. ;)

Hello Gorgeous/Avery Lane Boutique Exclusive Look: Summer Weddings.

Every summer, hubs and I have at least a handful of weddings to attend.  And each time a wedding rolls around I find myself asking the same question: "What the heck should I wear?!" 
There are so many suggested 'dos' and 'don'ts' when it comes to wedding attire.  Don't wear white. Or cream. Or anything light. Don't wear red! Don't wear black, it's not a funeral.  So, part of the reason that I'm always a little flustered with what to wear is because I feel somewhat restricted on what is appropriate.  Because the last thing that you want to do is wear something that the bride finds offensive.  It is her biggest day, after all.  
So, what's a girl to do?? Wear something somewhat neutral, but with a flare!  My favorite 'wedding attire' lately has been a dress in a neutral color.  But, one that has something that *pops* and catches the eye.  This way, you're playing it safe, but you're also having fun with your look.  A perfect example of this concept is this absolutely fabulous dress (and oh so pretty jewels) from Avery Lane Boutique-- handpicked by yours truly!  The gorgeous "Midnight Memories" dress and the "Frost Me" bracelet and earrings are this month's Hello Gorgeous/Avery Lane exclusive look-- and all of the pieces can be purchased right here!      

I wore this ensemble to a friend's wedding last week and the dress and jewelry were a huge hit!  And I just have to say, the bottom of this dress is incredible and so faboosh!  This look will leave you feeling appropriate, perfectly polished, and beyond fabulous!

Summer Days, Drifting Away.

The past couple of weeks have flown by so incredibly quickly.  Does it feel like that for anybody else?
We have had a few family members visit and stay with us recently.  So, we've had a lot more excitement than we're used to around our home.  And with Summer almost in full swing, I'm expecting for it to feel like this for quite a while.  But, no complaints here!  Just give me some sunshine, good weather, and good company and I'm happy, regardless of how quickly the days are passing by. :)

Do y'all have anything fun planned for this summer?  If so, do tell!
Have a great week, Loves!
