Fall Floral – Wedding Attire | Day & Night Look

Hello Everyone !! Hope all is well ! Sometimes when finding dresses for special occasions like weddings and birthday parties, us ladies tend to get caught up in the idea of only wearing our dresses once or not having anywhere else to where them. The reality is, all we need are a few pieces and accessories and we can make multiple outfits from one dress. You can switch up your pumps for a pair of flats or boots, your classic clutch for a more daring satchel, or a statement necklace to your plain neckline … the options are endless.

This past weekend, I attended a family friend’s wedding on a beautiful fall day. The wedding was during the afternoon and on a beautiful golf course. To match the fall weather and fall decor I opted for a fall floral look with a beautiful dress from Cynthia Rowley. I was extremely nervous that the dress would be too long on me since it was tea length hitting just short of my ankles. I loved the whole look. From the sunday afternoon wedding, I transitioned my outfit to a night time look for our Sunday night church service. To make the dress look casual I decided to add a leather jacket, my favorite clutch and lace up sandals to tone it down. The transition also followed up with my hair, instead of a pinned style I let my curls loose.

Enjoy the picture overload and try mixing pieces for multiple outfits from just a few pieces. I also posted the makeup look, there will be a Get Ready With Me on the Channel, soon.

Warm Spotlight/Halo Tutorial | featuring Vegas Nay x Too Faced Star Dust Palette

Hello everyone, finally another makeup tutorial is up on the blog’s YouTube channel. I picked up the Vegas Nay Star Dust Palette by Too Faced a few weeks ago from Ulta. I decided to try it out since I have never owned a Too Faced eyeshadow palette. I also decided to create a different look, the spotlight/halo eye makeup with the warmer tones from the palette. The spotlight/halo eye makeup is when one eye shadow is sandwiched or blended between the same shade on either side, sounds confusing I know. But think of it as a spotlight, the inner third and outer third are darker and blend in with the the middle which is typically a brighter shadow color. For it to make more sense be sure to check out the tutorial. If you haven’t yet subscribed to the Blog’s channel don’t forget to do so. Also like, share and comment as you please. Have a happy and blessed weekend everyone.
