Sequined

Hope you all had an amazing Christmas? Mine was so great, I celebrated it with my dear family; we opened up some presents under the Christmas tree and ate way too much hehe..

Here is my look of the day; I stayed in a festive mood by wearing this sequined skirt from Love, the blazer and sweater are from H&M, the necklace is from Peerlesscharm, the ring is from Versace for H&M, the Casio watch is from Dressrepublic, the nailpolish is Chanel Péridot, the snake bracelet and the Chanel bag are vintage and the boots are from Romwe.

P.S. Don't forget to join the Joie contest here where I will be guest judging!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm back from my trip to Germany and France and have finally recovered fully from the jetlag. I spent a delightful weekend in Paris that was cold but mostly sunny, and filled with great food and even better shopping (photographic evidence to come!). Now that I have a little time off I'm hoping to get caught up with my blogging and post some photos from my trip.

In the meantime here's a recent outfit featuring this cute new dress that I found at a shop in on Fillmore Street; it turned out to be the second of two long-sleeved purple dresses I bought that day. Ordinarily I would've avoided buying similar items, but this one is a much lighter weight dress whereas the other is more of a winter weight, and this was so deeply discounted that I couldn't pass it up. You'll be seeing the other purple dress in an upcoming post.

Wishing you a happy holiday season!


Dress: Kew
Necklace: Manu Lizarralde
Boots: All Black

Helping Out Of Town Wedding Guests With Accommodations

Helping Out Of Town Wedding Guests With Accommodations

By: Charish Hoover



One thing that is often forgotten by the busy wedding planning couple is providing convenient, and AFFORDABLE suggestions to their out of town wedding guests.

Things to consider when putting a list of nearby places to stay for your wedding guests:

1. Try to choose Hotels, or Motels that are nearby to the wedding location. Some wedding venues even offer guest accommodations:
SEE OUR RECOMMENDED WEDDING VENUES HERE

2. Will some guests be traveling with their beloved pet(s)? Some Motel chains are pet friendly, consider these places for those who won't go anywhere without Fido, or Fluffy.

3. Last but not least, consider price per night: Your out of town guests will already be putting out some expense on travel. Try to help them by calling places to stay, and ask them if they will offer your out of town guests a special GROUP RATE. Some are willing to to this if there's the potential for them to fill several rooms thanks to your referral.
