Christopher Bailey has a way of making me want things I have never wanted before. Case in point: these amazing, long pencil skirts! Sadly I know I could never pull it off, but they're fun to look at. Here are some of my favorite looks in the Burberry Prorsum Resort 2015 collection.
Continuing with the dresses theme from yesterday, let's discuss what to wear to a wedding. My cousin is getting married and while I already have my dress I thought it would be fun to show you guys some outfits for various wedding scenarios. You can get all of these dresses online by Review Australia.

Their prices are reasonable and range from $50 (on sale) to $319.99 (not on sale) so you're sure to find a piece within your budget.
Review Australia is perfect for the girl who loves fun, feminine and flirty fashion. They have been in business since 1985, so they know what will look good on a woman, definitely a plus when you're looking for a well-made, well-fitting piece.
I'm always a fan of classic pieces with a twist and that's exactly what Review offers. Whether it's an adorable added belt or an interesting seam, almost all the dresses have something to surprise.
Our first look features this Donatella Dress, one of their new arrivals and my favorite piece. This would be a lovely choice for a dressy, night-time wedding. Th dark floral, short sleeves and fabric belt make it a really unique piece that's sure to stun everyone.
Next up we have this beautiful maxi dress which we can dress up or down. I've created a look that you can wear for a nice outdoor/beach wedding. Pair it with a cardigan and some dressy flat sandals and you have the perfect outfit.

Here are some extravagant dresses for us to enjoy today, thanks to Vogue China. I'm loving all the textures in these dresses. If only I had places to wear them.

I wore this outfit Memorial Day weekend when it was cold and rainy. While I was shopping at Trader Joes a woman stopped me to say she LOVED my shirt and asked where I got it. I told her a thrift store and she was shocked. I should have told her it was only $1. Every time I wear this topI wonder why I don't wear it more often. It's super soft, comfortable and I always get compliments on it. I think one of the last times I wore it was March 2013. I also wore it 2 Summers ago in these photos and in November 2012 (one of my favorite outfits.)

I'm at the halfway point for the French Wardrobe Challenge. It is definitely a lot easier than I thought it would be, but still hard. I can still go shopping and not buy anything, it is only painful on certain occasions when I see something awesome but don't want it to be one of my "five" so I have to leave it. It also helps that I don't have to count items I buy for Marshalls Project Fab. But half of the items I have bought are basics so they wouldn't have counted anyway. I'm still a bit unsure if I made the right choice in buying this printed skirt, but I like it and it's fun so even if I only wear it a few times I guess it's worth it.
This was a good month for jewelry. I bought one House of Harlow necklace at a South Moon Under event, then one was in my goody bag and I won two others through their Instagram contest! How does it get any better than that? I was also bad and bought a pair of Phillip Lim boots, but they're a basic and were on super sale.
THE RULES
- Just five standout pieces per season.
- Quality over quantity.
- Basics don’t count.
- Accessories don’t count, unless you’re spending a lot more than usual.
- Socks and underwear don’t count.

With the warm summer weather comes the chance to throw a party—and maybe even take it outside if the weather permits. My latest Project Fab assignment came just in time for Memorial Day! This Sunday my mom had our extended family over for a party so I decided to help get ready with supplies (and an outfit) from Marshalls! See some photos of our decor below with credits under each photo. I'm only calling out items I bought, but I'm sure a bunch of my mothers items are from Marshalls too, or you can at least find similar pieces there.
Marshalls makes it so easy to prepare for a party by stocking tons of unique (and also classic) pieces for up to 60% off retail prices! Every time I go into the home department I could walk away with at least 5 things. This time I had to leave behind an awesome burgundy frying pan, I may go back for it though!
Luckily we had a perfect day for an outside party, Saturday was wet and gloomy but Sunday was sunny and the perfect temperature. This bomber jacket I picked up was the perfect piece to keep me warm in my gauzy dress when it got chillier. Notice something weird about the outfit? I'm wearing white again! Guess I'm warming up to the idea of wearing it myself, although I still worry about getting it dirty.

Monday was Memorial Day, so Summer has unofficially started! Sadly we still have a month before it officially starts. But now I think it's time to share some beautiful swimsuits by, who else, We Are Handsome.
The long Winter is finally over and we can start wearing skirts and dresses without freezing to death, but, what about our sun-deprived legs that haven't seen the light in months? Many women, myself included, feel self conscious during Spring and the beginning of Summer when our legs are less than tan. Now, thanks to Hanes you can slip the perfect shade of bronze on every morning to make your legs look tan. Who needs all those crazy lotions and dangerous tanning beds when you can just put on a pair of tights?
To help me transition my winter legs into summer, Hanes sent me a pair of their Sunkissed Ultra Sheer tights to style. The tights come in five shades you can find the perfect match for your skin tone and, for just the right fit, the Sunkissed sheer comes in control top or a smoothing top. I chose the medium bronze shade for my skin. The slight shine and sheerness makes them look more like your skin, unlike traditional panty hose which can look fake. See the photo below for a comparison, can't even tell I have tights on, can you?
I will definitely be wearing these in the coming weeks if the weather stays chilly like this, I had been worrying about what I would do for my cousin's wedding the first week of June, but now I know I'll be wearing these! My mom had been toying with the idea of getting a spray tan for her legs, but she went out and got a pair of Hanes for herself.

P.S. The skirt above came with a vest, so I figured I'd show you the outfit with the vest, even though it looks crazy. Ha ha. Would be fun for a themed party though, so I'll hold on to it.

When I saw the Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2014 collection I knew I would be able to recreate a couple of the looks with a top Oasis sent me last year. The collection had some outfits featuring skyline shirts of London (some of which are available on NET-A-PORTER right now!). I did the first look when I went to New York a couple weeks ago, seen here, and today I'm sharing the second look!
Top c/o Oasis, Leather Jacket: Theyskens' Theory (Nordstrom Rack), Skirt: made by Mom, Sandals: Simply Vera (Kohl's), Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports & Mom's
Here are both looks side by side with the inspiration. What do you think?
