I love the floral trend of prom dresses because it makes the dress more versatile for other occasions. I also really like the look of simple and elegant dresses too! Lastly, the trend of goddess looking dresses is stunning, especially on tanner skin. Overall, I think my favorite of these dresses is the white floral one, because it looks very bohemian and flowy and can definitely be worn to prom or to any fancy gathering!

Prom Dress Ideas and Trends for 2018

2018
Hi everyone! Long time no chat. I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog but now I am back and better than ever. 

Prom season has begun and today I am going to be sharing some of my favorite prom dress trends and styles. A lot of people at my school are already starting to look for dresses! It's important to buy them early so that you have many options to choose from and have plenty of time to make any alterations or adjustments if needed.

Aztec print dress | Grey embellished dress | Nude pink dress
Lavender frill dress | Black floral dress | Blue dress

Floral Prints
It is very fashionable for prom dresses to be more casual and fun! That's why I love the trend of floral print prom dresses. They are perfect for the spring and summer, and they make the dress stand out. What's great about floral print dresses is that they can be worn for many different occasions. That way, if you buy an expensive dress, you can keep on wearing it after prom.

Asymmetrical Hems
Asymmetrical hems on dresses are very striking and show off a little glimpse of skin. They also make your legs look longer and give your legs some breathing room, which is nice when you're dancing in a hot and cramped dance room.

Colorful
Colorful prom dresses are a lot of fun. Picking colors that look great on your skin tone will make you stand out from the rest of your group and make you look stunning in pictures. Certain colors look best on specific skin tones, so make sure to try on different dresses and compare colors in order to find what best suits your skin tone. 

Short Slip
Another trend is having a dress with a short slip underneath and a long skirt overlay that is see-through. Normally, the skirt overlay is either mesh or lace. This is another way to show off your legs while also wearing a sophisticated long dress. These types of dresses will also make you look taller!

Ruffles
Lastly, ruffles are another prom trend. They especially work nicely on a body shape that is more straight, as the ruffles add dimension and curves. 

I hope this post gave you inspiration for the type of dress you want to wear for prom!

My Week in Outfits | NYC Trip

clothes
Hey everyone! I recently traveled to New York City over Winter break with my family. I wanted to share with you the outfits that I wore while I was there! I definitely had to dress in layers most days because it was pretty cold there. I will also be posting some of the photos I took while I was in New York in another blog post soon!

12.25.16

On this day we flew from NC to NY in the afternoon. This is my traveling outfit and Christmas dinner outfit. My tunic is from Nally & Millie (similar), my scarf is from Calvin Klein (similar), my leggings are from Lululemon and my shoes are from Forever 21 (similar).

12.26.16

On this day we went to the Met and did more exploring of NYC. I am wearing a grey sweater from American Eagle (similar), jeans from Topshop, shoes from Adidas (color navy), and a jacket from BCBGeneration. I wore this jacket everyday because it's super warm and has down in it. The purse I'm wearing is from Rebecca Minkoff.

12.27.16

On this day we went shopping and walked on the High Line and saw the Rockettes. My shirt is from a resale store called Buffalo Exchange (different color here), and my jeans are from Topshop. I also wore my boots from Forever 21 (similar) and my Purse from Rebecca Minkoff.

12.28.16

On this day I forgot to take a picture of what I wore. I wore a grey sweater that I got from a small boutique (similar here), black leggings from Lululemon, and my boots from Forever 21. 

12.29.16

I wore two outfits on this day because it rained a lot, so I had to change into dry clothes for the rest of the day. I am wearing a blue sweater from American Eagle (similar), a plaid scarf from Gap, black leggings from Lululemon and my Forever 21 boots. 


I changed into this pink sweater (similar) that I had recently bought in Times Square. I also wore my Topshop jeans, and Forever 21 boots.

12.30.16

On this day I walked around NYU. I wore this white sweater from Anthropologie, black Lululemon leggings and the same boots.

12.31.16

Today I left NYC. I tried to keep my outfit comfortable so I wore a dust pink hoodie from American Eagle (on sale!), leggings, Adidas shoes (color navy), and my jacket from BCBGeneration.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you all had an amazing Winter break!

New Years Eve Party Outfit + Makeup Look

2016
Hey everyone! New Year's Eve is right around the corner and it's that time of the year when people are busy shopping for the perfect New Year's Eve party outfit. Here is an outfit that will give you inspiration for your outfit!
NYE Party Outfit

Velvet has been a huge trend recently! I think this blue velvet crop top paired with the silver sequin skirt is a perfect festive outfit. You will definitely stand out and sparkle in a crowd. The motorcycle jacket looks really good over the top and adds a edgier detail while also keeping you warm.

Fake eyelashes will add a lot to the look and make your eyes pop. Kohl eyeliner is also a great makeup staple for a New Year's Eve party look because it's easy to smudge around your eyes to add a more dramatic look. A dark blue smoky eye would look nice with this outfit also! If you decide to do a dramatic eye look, then you should definitely keep the lips simple by swiping on a layer of nude or pink lipstick so your makeup isn't too overpowering.

Of course add some festive nail polish and spritz on some perfume and you should be all ready for NYE!

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have a great NYE!

What to Wear to a Holiday Party

accessories
Hey everyone! Today I am going to share with you an outfit that I put together. It's perfect for a holiday party or going to the theatre. You can also add tights if you live in a city that is cooler. I hope you find inspiration from this look for your own holiday party look!
holiday party outfit

Crushed velvet is a huge trend this Winter, and I think a velvet dress makes any outfit more glam. I also think gold and burgundy are beautiful, festive colors for the Winter. This gold velvet dress is so pretty and the white soft jacket will keep you warm while also looking super stylish

Liquid eyeliner is a perfect makeup staple because it makes your eyes pop. False eyelashes will also make your eyes pop and make them appear more open and dramatic. You can never have too much highlighter, and this one from Laura Mercier is extremely stunning. Liquid lipstick is also a must have, especially when you are going to be drinking or eating food. Liquid lipstick is designed to keep your lip color staying on your lips all day, without transferring or smudging off.

You can top off this look with a nice smelling perfume and some cute accessories, like the choker and the ring!

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you all have a great holiday!

*Winter Workout Clothes | Lululemon Dupes

athletic
Fitness Guru sports bra | Marbled long sleeve | Cross sports bra | Dark pink long sleeve | Black sports bra | Black cropped leggings | Black tank top | Black and white jacket | Ombre jacket

Hey everyone! Today I teamed up with StyleWe to share with you some cute workout clothes for the Winter. These clothes look similar to Lululemon, but are more affordable! I personally love wearing athletic clothes, even when I am not working out. I find that they are extremely comfortable and also cute.

I love the Fitness Guru sports bra because it has a super cute mesh detailing and band. It is similar to the Lululemon Clip-In Line bra.

I also really like the black and white marbled sweater because it has a super fun slit in the back so you can see your sports bra. I think the wrap sports bra is a really cute idea and it reminds me of the wrap style bikini top. Wrap style tops are super flattering also!

The pink long sleeve top is extremely similar to the Lululemon Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Crew shirt. They have very similar details on the front and back of the shirt, and the logo for both is in the same exact place. The top from StyleWe is $25 cheaper though!

The black sports bra has cute strappy detailing on the back that makes any workout outfit more fun. It is very similar to the Lululemon Lighten Up bra and looks perfect under an open back top.

The cropped leggings with the grey band are perfect or working out in all year round. They are a great alternative for the Lululemon Drop It Like It's Hot crops. The crops from StyleWe are almost $60 cheaper- what a steal!

The black tank top is definitely a dupe for the Lululemon Power Y Tank. They both have the logo in the same spots and have a similar shape to them. These tank tops are perfect for doing yoga in because they fit tightly but comfortably, so they won't move around while you are in your poses.

The black and white zip up is very fun looking. It is a great alternative for the Lululemon Swiftly Tech 1/2 Zip. The StyleWe zip up is $25 cheaper and comes in a wide variety of prints and colors.

I also really like the ombre jacket and think the colors are perfect for Winter. It's a very nice jacket to throw on when running to the gym or doing some light cardio. It looks similar to the Lululemon Daily Practice Jacket, except it's almost $90 cheaper!!

2016 Christmas Gift Guide | Athlete

accessories
Hey everyone! Next up on the Christmas gift guide series are gift ideas for athletes or people who love to work out. I picked out some unique gifts that anyone would love.

You can check out my previous post here, if you need gift ideas for makeup lovers. You can also read my old holiday gift guide from last year here. I hope you find this gift guide helpful :)

christmas gift guide- athlete
Duffel bag | Hat | Fitbit | Hair ties | Ear buds | Sweater | Yoga mat | Hidrate Spark water bottle | Sports bra | Blotting sheets | Leggings | Necklace | Shoes

If you know someone who likes monitoring steps and things like that, than I would definitely suggest buying a Fitbit. They keep track of your heart rate, steps, sleep, exercise, weight, etc. It really does it all!

Another good gift idea is to buy a Hidrate Spark water bottle. If you know someone that has trouble drinking enough water throughout the day than this is a great gift for them! This water bottle syncs with your phone and sends you constant reminders to drink water and measures your water intake.

Cute clothes are definitely an essential for any athlete. These black leggings are so cute and have a fun mesh detailing on the leg. The sweater is also a really nice gift, because it can be worn for working out in or on a day to day basis. The cross on the bottom adds a lot to the sweater also.

If you don't know the sizes of the person you are buying a present for, than you can always buy jewelry. This necklace is super dainty and pretty and symbolizes strength.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope this helped you with your gift giving this season!

My Go-To Fall Workout Outfit #flirtyfallflatlay

adoreme

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing with you my favorite Fall workout outfit. You wouldn't think shorts and a tank top would be a typical "fall" workout outfit, but if you live anywhere South, you know where I'm coming from. It's the beginning of November but Charlotte still has weather in the mid-80's. 

I was inspired by Adore Me's Pinterest and their new fitness wear, to create my own fall outfit look. Adore Me's mission is to encourage, inspire and recognize body positivity and confidence. I think this is such a great statement because it's all about empowerment and embracing your own body. 

For my outfit, I chose is a blue sports bra from Lululemon which I got on sale for $29 a few months ago. I love how strappy it is, and I think the color is so pretty! I also chose a grey tank top from Gap's Be Inspired collection. Lastly, I chose my polka dot and striped Lululemon speed shorts. I think these are really unique and fun! 

Thanks for reading! Let me know what your favorite fall clothing items are!

Gamiss Lookbook and Review

accessories
Hey everyone! Today I am going to be doing a clothing review of clothes I received from a website called Gamiss. Gamiss contacted me at the end of August and was kind enough to send me some clothes to review! 



In these pictures I am wearing a taupe colored sweater. It is super soft and comfortable! I got a size large because the reviews of this website said that their clothes ran pretty small. The large fits perfectly and I like that  can roll up the sleeves. It retails for only $11.18 which is such a good deal! I decided to pair the v-neck sweater with a bralette from Urban Outfitters,  black jeans from Macy's and maroon boots from Forever 21. I think this is such a great look for the Fall because it incorporates darker colors and will keep you warm! You can purchase this sweater here- http://www.gamiss.com/sweaters-cardigans-5/product16610/?lkid=1254


I also received this really pretty turquoise bracelet. Even thought it isn't really a Fall piece, I think I will still wear it a lot in the Spring and Summer! I love turquoise and I also think accessories with stones and gems look great for a classy but fun look. This bracelet only costs $2.73 which is so cheap! You can also bend the bracelet a little bit to make it fit to your wrist. Here is a link to purchase this bracelet- http://www.gamiss.com/bracelets-162/product92664/?lkid=1254

The last thing I received were these black shorts, which unfortunately did not fit me. I got a size medium after reading the size charts and reviews. My normal size in bottoms is 4/6, and these fit like a 00/0/2. I wish these fit me though, because they are soo cute and I've ben looking for black ripped shorts for a long time! These retail for $9.95 and you can click this link to buy them (just make sure to size up!) - http://www.gamiss.com/shorts-11150/product133385/?lkid=1254

Overall I am very happy with the sweater and bracelet that I received (I wish the shorts fit)! I would definitely go up at least one size when purchasing clothing from this website! Also, the clothes took over a month to ship and the tracking information did not work for me. If you would like your clothes sooner, I would pay extra for the expedited shipping.
