Date Night... Oooh La La!

What to wear... what to wear! A fun night out. A little dinner. A little romance... maybe? Whether its a first date, or you're a couple who's been together for a while and you want to head out for a special night, every girl (well every girl I know) likes to get a little dolled up for an evening out. So Again I ask... what to wear?

For my evening out, I decided to a take a comfy dress that fortunately is a fantastic color that made me feel confident and beautiful. The dress itself is very casual. Which is great because it can be both dressed up or down depending on the occasion. 

For a date night outfit, I still kept it casual, but made it look a little extra special keeping a special night in mind. I paired the dress with my go-to Nine West sandals with a slight heal. Comfortable, but cute. I fixed my hair (yay me!) and put on a pretty dressy necklace and my nicer watch which definitely made me look a bit more sparkle and shine girl!





I kept my make-up very simple: 
light eye shadow, mascara, nude lip gloss (extra shine!)  

(In case you didn't notice... I dyed my hair! And since, I've noticed 
that my eyes stand outa bit more... pick colors... hair colors... 
that make your features stand out in a good way!)






 Done and done!
Remember that feeling good about how you look on the outside 
only accentuates the beauty on the inside... and that's what is 
the most winning quality about you... YOU! 

So wear your smile and let your inner beauty shine

Its the one beauty that never 
fades and is worth investing in.

To Romp... or Not to Romp.


My pup decided to join
me for my photo shoot.  
This summer, I'm all for romping around the beach, the county fair, or the grassy park, but how about in an actual romper? 

In all honesty, I had never been a huge fan of the onesie-esque clothing piece, especially when they became increasingly popular a few years back. However, one of these very jumpsuit inspired pieces recently caught my eye. And all of a sudden I found myself wondering if I too would join the romper squad.

I was hesitant. I was quite sure rompers are not meant for women with my body type. With a small waist and large everything-beneath-my-waist, I can't mess around with shapeless clothing. Thus, I've always assumed that's this is the very reason why rompers are so popular with teenagers. They are shapeless through the body, but show off long lean arms and legs (neither of which I have). So when I found a this little suit that didn't have "teeny bopper" written all over it, but looked classy (ish) and sophisticated (ish)... I reeeeally wanted to give it a shot. So I did. 

Below are some shots of my newly ordered piece. 

The material is linen. So nice and cool for the summer. I paired it
with this great hat and casual snake skin sandals for an easy
summer look. Very clean, classy, yet casual.
Like I said, the romper is fairly shapeless through the
body, it doesn't give much of a shape. This one inparticular,
would look great on someone with narrow hips. Black
would probably be the only color I'd get in this.


Like I said earlier... Clean, classy, casual. Love it. Do you?


I'm still debating on keeping it. I really like it! However, I know its not the most flattering piece I can find for my body. Let me know what you all think. Would you romp... or not?


Happy Summer!
