Fave Oscar Looks

I only caught the last hour of the Oscars but I enjoyed what I saw and that shocker at the end! Whoa! 

Fashion is one of my fave parts of awards shows and this year I was not disappointed. Below are my fave looks.

Janelle looked like royalty and I loved it!

That flare, deep V, and that train; Brie was giving me sexy vixen in her dress.

Emma's old timey glam was on point and not costumey.

Hailee looked like a dream in her floral, sheer dress. 

Happy Valentine's and Galentine's Days!

So Monday was Galentine's Day (I didn't know it was the day before V-day) and today is Valentine's Day! I loved seeing all the red and burgundy things people were wearing today as I was going to work. It really put me in the cheery mood I needed because my body has been fighting some bug these past few weeks which has not developed into anything full blown but has made me tired and congested everyday (the congestion doesn't last long though, thankfully). So enough about that bug and let's get back to the cheeriness of this commercialized holiday! The crew at Oh Happy Day is doing it right and tingling my eyeballs with these two DIYs! Head on over there for the details.

Lace, Lace Baby

Get it? Like "Ice, ice baby" Ha, so corny right? Have you seen those dresses that are made of a thicker looking lace? Self Portrait makes some amazing ones.  Here are some of my faves by them. The first is probably their most popular and you've already seen in many colors on the internet.  There's definitely a reason why they keep bringing it back every year-it's stunning! Any of these would be great for Valentine's Day or Galentine's Day!

Flamingos!

I'm not sure if I'm late to the party when it comes to this trend but I started noticing more flamingo items here and there. I think it's really cute in certain doses like a skirt or top but a whole dress that is full of flamingos is a bit much for even me.  Below are some cute flamingo items I've seen around the internet.

Just the right amount of flamingos on this retro dress.

Chicwish

This one is too sexy for me but I have to give props to whoever thought of it because it is definitely a unique way of incorporating those lovely flamingos!

Off The Shoulder- How I Love Thee

Part of me trying to get it together and own less/spend less also involves some exceptions like buying dresses for special occasions like weddings! For the last few years I've probably attended at least one wedding every year. In 2016 my partner and I attended five weddings and I'm not tired of them yet! I love being able to share in such a momentous occasion and seeing the couple just celebrate their love and union.  And it doesn't hurt that my partner and I love to dance. We are usually the first ones on the dance floor and the last ones when the party winds down.  Feel free to hire us if you want to get the party started LOL!  So this year we have a few weddings to attend so I've been surfing the internet checking out what's out there and my heart keeps going back to the off-the-shoulder styles. I love them for both fancy and casual occasions. Below are some that are wedding contenders and some casual looks that I like but will steer away from buying. Enjoy!

I love the bold color and sleek cut on this little number.

Asos

The bows are a cute touch.

Lulus

Simple and a sexy, but not too sexy (at least in my opinion)!

Lulus

A lovely blush ruffly dress. 

Charlotte Russe

This bardot dress on Lace and Locks is so amazing.

Asos (OMG it's still available!)

This one is a too casual for a semi-formal or formal wedding but it's the perfect summer dress!  Too bad it's no longer available.
