I can’t believe Christmas is just days away and 2017 will be over in about a week! Where did this year go?

In college and the years that followed my friends and I would go all out for New Years Eve. We’d dress up and usually spend the night celebrating with take out and plenty of champagne at someone’s house, it was much easier than dealing with crowded restaurants, clubs and cabs (the days before uber).

I think every girl needs a fierce birthday outfit so I’m busting out this little red number today for mine! It’s fabulous and makes me feel like the salsa dancer emoji – AKA – perfect for my bday. We’re celebrating tonight at my favorite sushi spot, right on the water.

I thought about wearing this dress to a wedding this weekend, then I remembered my best friend Shelby once told me she thought it was inappropriate to wear red to a wedding.

Let’s be honest, no one wants to spend hundreds of dollars on a dress for your college friend’s wedding if you feel like you can’t wear it again. So I’ve done a little research and have found some of the best and most affordable dupes to these gorgeous dresses. continue reading

Valentine’s day is one of my favorite holidays to dress for. Which is probably why I was so excited for this post! Ironically I’ve never been a huge fan of the day, because other than all the chocolate shouldn’t we celebrate love every day?

Anyway…

I’m usually more of a pink girl but this red dress seemed to scream my name. It’s under $30 and is an instant closet staple. Let me say that again, it’s under thirty dollars! Unreal!

What I love about V-Day dressing is you can really have fun with it. Play up the feminine details and pile it on. It’s one of those “more is more” days in my opinion and you really can’t go wrong with a flirty dress. continue reading
