Wedding Wednesday: Week 2: Alternative Gifts for the Bride to Be





Sunnies & Tank: c/o Flaunt Boutique

Hi there and Welcome back to Wedding Wednesday! Today I am so excited to share exciting alternative gift ideas for the bride-to-be. As I stated last week, I am not your average bride... and I know there are some ladies like me out there. There are several ritualistic events that take place for most brides before the big day... and one of those just is not me. That event would be a lingerie shower. 

Yes, I know... when else are you going to get fancy lingerie in your life? Truthfully though, I would be awkwardly uncomfortable opening lingerie in front of anyone... I'm just weird like that. If you are going sans lingerie shower though, what are your friends to do for your bachelorette party? My answer: Monogram it! Find me a lady out there that doesn't love a monogram... especially when hers is about to change. For me, that's been the most exciting thing.

How perfect are this tank these sunnies? Especially for a bachelorette party! I can see myself wearing this in the afternoon before getting ready to hit the town as a bathing suit cover up. I'm obsessed with the glitter background for the monogram and think it's a unique piece that would make the perfect shower gift. 

Don't get me wrong, if you want a lingerie shower.... do it! I just want other brides like me to know that you don't just have to opt in because it's what everyone else is doing. Be yourself. Remember that your wedding is meant to be unique to you and your personality, don't just cave to every suggestion in hopes of being a crowd pleaser. 

Flaunt Boutique is the perfect place to find your monogram items and so much more. Currently, live Facebook auctions Sundays at 7pm are the way to grab their perfect pieces. Orders always include free shipping. Make sure to check them out! {The jewelry pieces are also to die for!}

Thanks for stopping by Wedding Wednesday! See you next week!

All For Love







Skirt: Choies // Top: Forever 21, similar // Necklace: Benevolent Jewels
(use code LFCODE20 for 20% off) //  Monogram Clutch: Benevolent Jewels// 
Watch: Michael Kors // Bracelets: J Crew, Blush Bazaar // Heels: Zara, option // 
Nails: Essie "Lovie Dovie" // Lip:  MAC, Pink Nouveau

Happy Valentines Day loves! Today is seriously one of my favorite holidays! I am obsessed with pink and red, heart prints, lipstick, flowers... the whole shebang... So this day really encompasses all of my favorite things. This would be a great look if you are planning to go all out for the holiday. For a fancy dinner, this is your ticket to perfection.

I fell in love with the fullness of this skirt from the minute I laid eyes on it! It looks so incredibly regal. I bet you would never guess it is $25!!! Awesome buy in my book. I also love that I have so many options to pair it with. The fullness does make it a little too fancy for everyday general wear... it might get in the way. For a fun piece to have as back up for special events though... this gem is just right. 

I went on the hunt for something heart print and realized I actually had this in my closet already! I've only worn it a handful of times and didn't want to spend money on something I didn't really need right now, so I made it work. I love the option I have linked above though! 

I threw on some glitter heeled sandals to add a little sparkle. I love mixing gold and silver and thought these really pulled the look together. Lastly I can't go without mentioning my new clutch from Benevolent Jewels. I am obsessed with monograms in the first place, but with mine changing soon I keep snatching things up as I find them to bulk up my collection. (Plus, I'm just so excited about the wedding I can't contain myself!)

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and conversation hearts! 

Thank you for reading!!!

Two Tone...






Top: Max Studio, loving this one
Denim: 7FAM
Heels: ShoeDazzle featured in People Style Watch Mag March 2014
Watch: Michael Kors
Bracelets: J Crew, Blush Bazaar
Necklace: BaubleBar
Lippie: Saint Germain
Nails: Formula X for Sephora "intensity"

Sometimes I have a hard time nailing down what my style is just by thinking of one look.  I love love love bright colors!!!! Yet, sometimes I just want to go super neutral with hardly a stitch of color.... that's just who I am. I like a lot of different things. I don't have a specific style that would define me... I don't think many do.

I just love the look of a simple white blouse with dark denim and pumps... there really is nothing more simple and chic. I found these heels from Shoedazzle a couple weeks ago and thought they were just so fun! The light pink and winter white color block is just the start... there is also a layer of gold peaking through the perforation of the leather: obsessed! They were actually featured in the newest issue of People Style Watch... so they must be pretty perfect, right?

I pulled things together with my favorite new polish from the Formula X collection for Sephora and a light lip.

Things are supposed to get a little crazy around here weather wise tomorrow. Schools are closing and we are predicted to get 6 inches of snow! Just pray it doesn't happen people! I just don't have time for that!!! 

Thanks for reading pretties! Sorry for the delay in posting! I managed to squeeze this one in between my work commute and making it to piloxing on time... I'm kind of obsessed with piloxing lately BTW! 

ps- It had just rained when we took these photos. Please excuse me frizzy hair!
