Cheetah Print Bell Sleeve Eliza J Dress

DRESS || HEELS || HANDBAG || EARRINGS || RING

When a dress has all of the bells and thrills, I usually cannot resist such beautiful feminine details.  From the cheetah print to the exaggerated bell ruffle sleeves, this dress is one that will certainly stand out.  What you can't see is the soft gold metallic detail that highlights the cheetah print!

As you shop for dresses, I recommend picking pieces that are versatile and that can be worn for a variety of occasions.  I've worn this Eliza J dress to work functions, church, and for an evening out.  It's not too dressy but dressy enough.

The dress is fully lined except for the sheer sleeves and it is an a-line fit.  The ruffle hemline flares out slightly to add a little more free movement when you walk!

Eliza J has such beautiful classic dresses...ones that are on trend but will not go out of style over the years.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

A subtle golden velvet backdrop with the most beautiful golden sequins...this dress is holiday perfection.  It is truly one of the most stunning sequin dresses I have ever worn.

This dress is figure flattering and is a complete showstopper!  Why not dress up this holiday season and feel beautiful doing so?!  I personally love to dress up on any occasion that I have.

Not only is this dress perfect for the holidays but is is perfect for so many other special events as well!  Even better...this price point!  This dress is one that you will have in your closet from year to year as it is such a classic style that will remain timeless.  A great investment piece if you ask me!

Do you have an fun holiday events that you will be attending this year?!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Dressed for Summer with Nordstrom

DRESS || CLUTCH || HEELS || EARRINGS || WATCH 

The first official day of summer is this week and although we've personally already welcomed summer, I'm looking forward to those longer days where the sun doesn't set until 8:30pm or later.  We love spending summer evenings outside as a family!  Popsicles on the porch and chasing fireflies are two of our favorite things to do.

Most of you know that I LIVE in dresses during the summer.  I would much rather wear a light breezy dress than anything else when it is hot outside.  Not only are dresses perfect for staying cool during the hot summer months but they are also versatile and easy to wear for a variety of occasions.  From running errands, to an outdoor cookout with family or friends, to a date night, or to a wedding...a beautiful summer dress is perfect for all occasions.

Every summer season, I shop for new dresses at Nordstrom.  They have THE BEST selection of summer dresses and I'm alway able to find just what I'm looking for.  From casual to dressy, you can find the perfect dress for every occasion.

When shopping most recently, I saw this gorgeous floral off the shoulder maxi dress at Nordstrom and I was immediately drawn to the style, colors, and bold floral print.  We have some evening events this summer and I knew this dress would work perfectly for some of those events.  I paired it with simple blush heels and a bright white fold envelope clutch.  To not take away from the bold floral print, I kept my earring choice simple with these Sophia drop earrings.

Hope you are all having a great start to your summer!  As always, thank so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day.
