  Hey Everyone! Sorry i havent posted in a couple days I've just been super busy with work that i havent had a chance to update anything but its the weekend and I have a little down time to do a post so I'm taking advantage of that! So last night I went a coworker's wedding and this is what I wore. I was really inspired by this gorgeous Herve Leger dress worn by Kim Kardashian. I wanted something curve accentuating neutral colored and simple and I was able to find just that at Forever 21 for a much lower price! I absolutely love this dress not only was it comfortable but I was getting compliments left and right from the women and men at the reception so it just goes to show that you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on an outfit to look like a million bucks!

I paired these Vince Camuto's with my dress. The reason I wanted the dress to be simple and neutral was because I wanted my shoes to stand out. I love these shoes they're really comfortable and so cute but they can be a little difficult to find things to pair with them because of the rhinestone detail. The outfit has to be basic and a neutral color in order for the shoes to look right with the outfit.


Photobucket I also wanted my nails to be simple and neutral so I chose Mamba by Essie I just love this color its like a pinkish tan so simple and pretty!right with the outfit.

I really wanted to go all out with my hair and make up so I decided to go with loose voluminous curls and a dramatic gold smokey eye it really pulled the whole outfit together.


Her wedding was so cute and country romantic meets shabby chic!  It was held at the Fairhope yacht club which i had never been but i was amazed at how big it was, just a perfect place to have a reception. I loved the decorations. The whole room was filled with candles and beautiful white roses. The table settings were burlap table clothes with a tan and white designed runner overlaying it and in the center were tree stumps embellished with lanterns and white roses followed by candles surrounding the stump. It was so creative and beautiful they did an amazing job with the decorations and over all atmosphere The dessert table was probably my favorite part haha. They had everything from little cupcakes, lemon squares and individual dishes of banana pudding to strawberry and chocolate cream cheese tarts and chocolate chip cookies.  Her cake was a very simple but elegant three tier with vanilla and butter cream icing garnished with a huge white flower on the side. The food was absolutely delicious. They had everything from lobster bisque to chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes. they really had a great selection to choose from and I was able to try a little of everything and it was soo good! Her dress was absolutely stunning! It was a gorgeous lace fit and flare with a jeweled belt and flowers around the thigh part that matched the one on her cake and in her hair. That dress couldn't have been more perfect for her or her wedding.

Photobucket The grooms cake was so cute! His mother designed and when she saw me taking pictures of it she was like "I designed this do i know my son or what?!" lol It was a half chocolate half rice crispy treat with vanilla icing. Her son loves rice crispy treats so she wanted to incorporate that in his cake. Surprisingly it was pretty good! The band they hired was so awesome! They were so talented and really kept the guest entertained and up on the dance floor. They played the best music from the temptations to Nelly everyone couldnt help but dance the night away.

After the reception everyone resorted to the dock and we wished off watched Kendall and Justin board one of the sailboats there. It was such a cute and romantic way to leave the reception i loved it .

Well until next time, thanks for reading and I hope everyone has a great and positive day tomorrow :) much love Emxo
