Wedding season is in full swing, and the time has come to decide on that perfect dress for that special occasion you’ve RSVP’d to months ago. And if you need a little help in deciding, I have listed my favorite dresses from here:
This is a fun article/topic I stumbled upon while in Paris in March, when I strolled along the boutique adorned avenues and streets trying to figure out who and what to wear-in terms of French brands. It was as if the internet was spying on me, because when I returned to my hotel room that evening THIS popped up:
Sometimes it’s okay if we have no idea where an outfit is purchased from – as long as we can create the same style with our own take. That’s my rule anyway 🙂 With that said, I am loving these and these wonderful styles I plan to add my own twist to:
Let’s face it. We all shop online, which is a good thing, considering all of our options are laid out for us to choose from or consider. I know I’ve gone into stores and either the don’t carry all their styles anymore or not the size I need. I am not a size 0 – thank you very much. So while I was considering expanding my blog to fashion my style, in terms of, photos of ME!!!!! Which I am still hyperventilating about. I hate to be photographed, especially when it’s a fashion pose. :). Anyway, I came across this start up and as we all know it, felt the need to share. Honestly, I want to know what you think? Is it something you would consider?
I always wonder if this has been the case forever, where on a daily basis so many things go through our minds. I want to believe that life was truly much simpler in the past, and definitely before the social media craze. I mean yes we did have concerns and worries, but I don’t think the way we obsessed about them was as bad as it is now – when every day we thumb through our phones at least six or more times, in search of answers, all of which contradict one another – us hoping to relate to an article that will set us straight and perhaps help us achieve to become the best person we can – even if some of the suggestions are crazy ridiculous and we know it. The other day, I was pushing my cart in a grocery store, while my mind was on a thousand other things, thinking…and then I heard “excuse you b****,” a man’s voice shouting in my direction when apparently I crossed his path. Which isn’t …
One of the benefits of travelling to fashion cities is to get a visual of what is trending past the magazines, online and in paper journals. So while in Paris on this trip, I discovered Sezane, and fell inlove with their jeans, and most everything else on display:
Naturally I did my share of shoe shopping while in Paris, and London and hauled a few pairs with me back to San Francisco. But then I had to go there, and see the new summer arrivals and pick out a few more pairs – like these:
I always strive to be unique – which some may refer to as being rebellious? While I strolled along the shopping district in every city and small town I came across in England, Scotland and France, I was most taken away by unique fashion trends, in bold colors, patterns, mixed fabrics and anything that worked to my eyes. I found myself trying to convince my friend to appreciate what I see in those fashion statements. So the other day I found these wonderful wedding gowns and as usual felt the need to share:
Love Madewell, and these Spring-to-summer line are some of the best from this San Francisco based company.
My last week in the U.K., and I must say I have visited numerous or countless boutiques, shops, designer stores, and shopping malls, not only to observe fashion in full play, but also to see what the stores have to offer. The first observation was the H&M difference from those shops in San Francisco and the ones throughout well this round, England, Scotland and France. Of course there are many stores in the U.K.- that we in the US don’t have and in those stores I have appreciated some interesting finds I wish I could take a dozen or more items back home. But I have to tell you it is getting crazy as to how much I’ve already acquired, and now only four days remaining to this trip, I am seriously considering buying another suitcase…or just walking away from these cool Spring/Easter or Bridal Shower party dresses:
