    Looking Back

    Hi Loves!

    As the year wraps up, I find that the fun holiday parties are what gets my styling current going. I love trying new looks with each post. As much as I go for long ballgown dresses or long flowy looks, I try to push myself outside of my comfort zone. Did you see the Finale Night of Phoenix Fashion Week post?! Whoa that dress needed a lot of double sided tape and maybe just a few more centimeters of fabric lol, but I LOVED it.

     

    I usually order feminine full skirts or more conservative dresses, but there was a little part of me that wanted to try this dress out!

    These are fine little metallic studs, although they look like polka dots though haha!

    The clutch is my Mom’s vintage bag. I love the textures and the clasp of this bag.

    I shot this look in the Crossroad area in Kansas City. This is where First Fridays is held during the warmer months. Most of the buildings have been around for a long time. I really like the industrial look of the area. Leave me a comment if you already have your New Year’s look picked out!

    Elegant Holiday Look

    Hello Lovelies

    I absolutely LOVE dressing up (even though as I write this I’m wearing a mismatched sweatshirt, blue socks, and black sweatpants LOL)! For the holidays, I found this beautiful lace midi dress that just looked so elegant.

    I can totally see myself wearing this to the ballet or the symphony to see the Nutcracker!

    The skirt has a beautiful dark floral painted onto the silk organza fabric. It has a crystalline shimmer to the overall look of the skirt.

    The bodice is made of beautiful lace details. The higher neckline does not require any jewelry so I paired only a bold earring with this and a dainty bangle.

    My Badgley Mischka shoes were perfect for this dress with the delicate jewels.

    My photographer, Jacqueline and always seem to have fun! A lot of my photos are me laughing hugely or making weird faces!

    I’m thinking this dress would be perfect for flamenco too!

    The dress actually comes with a pretty satin sash, but the eternal problem of being a long torso girl is that my waist is six inches lower that the end of this lace bodice haha.

    I’m loving the mixing of textures this season. I actually kept this look a bit more Christmas traditional. Lately I’ve been trying more edgier styles, but I always go back to more elegant looks. I hope that your holiday season is filled with parties and pretty dresses too! Check out Stylewe for other dress options! Let me know below what you think of this look! Thanks for reading!

    Little Lace Number

    Hello Lovelies!

    I am so glad to be able to share this LBD lace number with you all. Finally!  I shot this during my last trip to Kansas City, but have been sitting on this post until we are all in the full holiday party mood!

     

    This location was outside of the Grace & Holy Trinity Church In downtown Kansas City. Its such a pretty place with really peaceful gardens.

    I love the old world architecture found on these buildings in KC. I’m still looking for places to shoot like this here in Phoenix. If you know of any–leave me a comment down below!!

     

    The ribbon detail cinches your waist (at least making mine look smaller haha)!

    This gorgeous hemline is so feminine. The dress is perfect for twirling around for sure!

    Now the best part is this dress is now on sale for a lot less that when I ordered it! I will link everything below! Aren’t you excited for the holidays?!? Now I just need to be invited to a party lol!
