Sew Cute

It's semi-formal and formal season in the Greek community which means you have to plan your outfit! This past weekend I went to Beta semi-formal and had a blast! So what did I wear to the occasion?

For the night I wanted to wear a more simple dress with a fun pop of color. So, I wore this awesome dress from Tobi.com. Tobi is a great place to get fun party dresses. This one has a cool neck detail but is still pretty covered. Also, I love how the sleeves flow out and are wider at the bottom. To add a bunch of color I wore a bright pair of violet heels. These pumps have a cool heel design which makes them super unique! Then I completed the look with a fun pair of statement earrings that matched my heels. Also, since the formal was a masquerade theme I did my own DIY mask.  

What I wore:

Dress: Tobi

Shoes: Sam Edleman 

Mask: DIY 

Earrings: Old Navy

Here are the steps I did to make my DIY mask! It is was super easy to make and only took 3 basic steps: 

1. First I painted my whole mask purple and let it dry. 

2. I gemmed certain sections of the mask to add some sparkle! 

3. Then lastly I just coated the whole mask in silver glitter. 

Do you have an upcoming formal or semi-formal? Let me know in the comments what you are wearing!

Wedding season is here! 

As many of you may know, this is prime time wedding time. Whether you are going to a wedding, a wedding shower, or a bachelorette party weddings are a big deal this time of year. This past weekend I attended my first ever wedding shower! Crazy I know, but at age 19 not to surprising. But, the wedding shower was for my old babysitter. It's kind of crazy to think of her as a grown up with a job versus my super fun play date who happened to make sure I didn't burn down the house. In regardless the shower was GORGEOUS and I am so happy for her! 

The outfit I wore consists of a simple navy dress with some fun fringe like detailing. It has halter style straps with a higher neckline. I thought earrings were more appropriate than a necklace so I went with bold earrings from Baublebar. I love this dress because it is a little longer on me which makes it less of a going-out dress and more of a classy affair dress. The main reason I got this dress was for recruitment so you may see this again in another post next month! For shoes I stole these fabulous brown leather heels from my Mom. It pays off having the same shoe size let me tell ya! My bangles and bracelets are all from Kate Spade or Alex and Ani and then I have my favorite watch on, of course. 

I recently picked up this Kate Spade bangle and this beaded Alex and Ani bracelet form Nordstrom Rack! They were both a great steal. 

I am OBSESSED with these Baublebar earrings. They are currently on sale at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! You may have seen them in my N Sale picks post last week. I ended up getting them. I couldn't resist! 

There were these super cute floral arrangements on all of the tables! Mason jars are always a good idea. I love the cute and southern inspired look they give off. The lights in the jars gave the arrangements a special touch.

This dress is one of my all time favorites. If you don't keep up with Sarahbelle93x on Youtube she also has this dress! I actually unknowingly got it, just because I was obsessed, and soon after she featured it in one of her videos! But, in regardless if you like Sarahbelle (which you should) this is one adorable dress. I love the scallop detailing on the hem and the sleeves. Also, the shape of the shift is actually flattering. As a shorty I struggle hardcore in the shift dress department. However, this one luckily fit perfectly! I ordered it off tobi.com and I have had amazing luck there with dresses specifically. If you are a short individual (like myself) I would highly suggest ordering from them. I wear an x-small if that helps you with sizing (I am 5ft and normally wear a 00). Ordering online is super tricky for me because normally I never know how things are going to fit. But, I can almost always count on Tobi for something cute and something that fits!

For accessories I wore a fun and bold statement necklace. I love how the colors of the necklace compliment the dress and they don't over power it. I also wore a pair of simple bow earrings, some bangles, along with my classic gold watch. My shoes are just simple white and gold sandals from Target.

These sandals are a great neutral shoe. I love the gold detailing because I wear gold basically everyday! So, these sandals always match my jewelry.

Hello everyone! If you didn't know my golden birthday was June 19th (this past thursday). So, I thought I would share what I did on my birthday and share the outfits that I wore! 

My friend Cassidy came into town to celebrate my birthday so we picked her up at a mall close to my house. We ate at Maggianos, an Italian restaurant near the mall, for lunch and it was super tasty! Then we did a little bit of shopping at the mall because what else would I do on my birthday but shop? So we hit up J Crew, Sephora, and browsed around Anthropologie.

Here is my OOTD from shopping! I wore a super fun anchor sweater because I knew we would be in and out of cold air conditioning. I paired the fun printed sweater with a more simple short. It is a creme beige color short that has a scallop detail on the hem. I have been huge into scallops recently (like this fun red dress). Scallops add a super fun and feminine detail to basically everything! (Speaking of scallops Anthropologie had the most perfect scalloped top! Ugh why does everything have to be a million dollars in there??!) For jewelry I wore my favorite pearl necklace from J Crew, Alex and Ani & J Crew bangles, Kate Spade bow earrings, and my Michael Kors watch. Then for shoes I just wore my neutral Sperry Top-Siders. 

Where it's from: 

Sweater: J Crew

Shorts: TJMaxx 

Shoes: Sperry Top-Sider 

Purse: Kate Spade 

Necklace: J Crew 

Earrings: Kate Spade 

Bangles: J Crew & Alex and Ani 

Watch: Michael Kors 

Cool pictures I took in Anthropologie. This store literally is perfection. I want to actually live inside one. I mean they had a bed, dinning room table, dishes, and free cupcakes and drinks so I think I could survive. 

Then, later in the day we headed off to dinner. My friend Cathleen came to meet Cassidy real quick before we left which was super nice! 

Love the open back on this dress! 

The OOTD for dinner at the Melting Pot included this peach Tobi dress. It is a great summer dress and has a lot of fun details. The coolest part of this dress has to be the open back. Usually I am not a fan of open backs but this dress is just too cute not to love it. Also, I love the fringe detail on the sleeves. It gives the dress a little more of a boho feel. For jewelry I kept things simple and only wore my usual bangles and watch plus a fun pair of earrings. These ones are from Baublebar and have white, creme, and black stones. Then my shoes are just a simple black sandal.

We ate dinner at one of my favorite places the Melting Pot which is a fondue restaurant. If you ever get the chance to eat at one it is AMAZING! My personal suggestions are the swiss cheese for your cheese fondue, a caesar salad, anything steak for you entree, then finally milk chocolate fondue for dessert. Yum!

They put my name on the sign out front! I felt pretty cool.
