Fairy Tales

Alright guys, today's post is pic-heavy - just warning you in advance!  I went a little cray takin' shots with my mom, ha.  We did an editorial-like (pretty sure I just made that word up but whatevs) set, which was surprisingly fun.  I'm probably going to use these snaps as piano promos, too.

A close-up shot! I really like the way my dress looks against the olive green wall.  I wasn't sure how it'd look, but it worked out well.  FYI: I'm wearing a stunning pearl heart pendant courtesy of Pearls Only - available HERE for $65 (originally $375) in four colors.

A full body shot for you guys.  I'm  LOVING my new dress courtesy of +OASAP.  I'm DEFINITELY wearing this for upcoming concerts & formal events.  This piece is extremely comfortable, and the quality's on point.  The skirt's super full  (not in a tacky way, of course) with layers and layers of chiffon!  You'll be twirlin' all night.  FYI: this dress is also available in green HERE.

A cool aerial shot!  My mom's a SOLID photographer.  I swear, she's freakin' amazing at everything - feeling blessed to have such a loving and talented mother.

Lighting here wasn't ideal, but I still love this shot!  

I know I don't normally share photos like these, but I hope you enjoyed them!  Would you guys like to see more shoots like these?  Let me know! I LOVE hearing from you guys, and your feedback means so much to me.

Happy Monday, errbody!  I hope y'all had a great weekend.  I'm currently on Spring break so I'm in Pittsburgh for the next week or so *pumps fist* It feels so good to be home!  It's colder than MD, but I can deal.  For today's post, I've re-featured two of my fave pieces: my floral H&M top & my plaid Talbots pencil skirt, for a fun work-friendly ensemble.  I thought it'd be interesting to pair the two together - you guys know how much I love mixing prints - because they share colors.  My top's predominantly yellow, but the floral print = gray & white, conveniently matching my skirt.  I'm all about unexpected color & print pairings so this was a fun shoot for sure!  

I'm finally taking photos outside again!  Natural lighting does WONDERS doesn't it?

Super excited to tell you guys about today's FOTD.  I picked these babies up Friday afternoon!  I love living next to a mall that has Off Saks and Last Call, ha.  These heels (originally $89) are available for $29.39 here.  Love at first sight - I mean, the mesh + cap toe + leather ankle strap? So much winning.  

These kicks are 4.25" high, but don't let that intimidate you.  Trust me, I'm AWFUL in heels (I kind of walk like a donkey, don't judge) so I'm extremely particular.  The leather strap will keep the shoe ON for starters, ha, and the mesh has a lot of give so your footsies will be all sorts of comfortable.  I can't wait to wear these loves out and about.  Great for work AND play - fits true to size.  Also available in red HERE and blue HERE.  I own the shoes in black, and I would've bought a pair in red, but they're out of 6.5's *sad face*

I'll be shopping quite a bit this week (I'm on Spring break) so I'll be sharing more finds with you guys.  I only recommend pieces I OWN so I can vouch for quality, and all FOTD's are purchased with my OWN money.  If a featured piece happens to be gifted, I'll let you guys know!
