Bring on Spring

Now that February is practically over I'm constantly thinking of springtime. Only a few more weeks until spring is officially here (I know this because my brithday is also on the first day of spring: March 20th)...but with all the cold and snow yet to come I need a little bit of visual motivation to get my mind there. These dresses seem to do the trick!

In The Key of Chic Dress in Songbird by Bea & Dot available at ModCloth- $124.99

Praline Dress available at Shabby Apple- $82

Quilted Jacquard Flare Dress available at LOFT- $79.50

Swing Dress in Retro Floral Print available at ASOS- $46

I want every single one of them for the spring season. Which ones are your favorite???

Emmy Awards- What I Hope They Wear

This morning I heard that the Emmy Awards are on tonight. How didn't I know this? It's been a busy week (again) and let me just say that I'm so happy that I found out about this when I did. Now I know what I'll be doing tonight. Nothing puts a smile on my face more than celebrities, beautiful dresses, and Neil Patrick Harris!

So there are two huge questions on everyone's minds about tonight's festivities:

1) Who will win?

2) What will they be wearing?

Now it's my turn to show you what I hope they will be wearing. Let's see if I get any of them right tonight.

Kerry Washington in Christian Dior Fall 2013 Couture

Claire Danes in Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture

Kelly Osbourne in Zac Posen Spring 2014 Ready-To-Wear

Cobie Smulders Christian Dior Fall 2013 Couture

Sofia Vergara in Zac Posen Fall 2013 Ready-To-Wear

What do you think of my picks? I have to admit, I'm head over heels obsessed with the hot pink Christian Dior Fall 2013 Couture gown. If I was at the awards I would totally be rocking that dress.

I'm a little sad that more of the shows I watch weren't nominated...but I'm so excited to see that some of my favorites were (The Big Bang Theory, Girls, and Modern Family). Who will you be cheering on?

Sassy Summer Dresses

I have to be honest with you. I HATE SUMMER. When I think of summer I think of sweating from the heat, my hair frizzing because it is so humid, and my body (especially my hands) breaking out in a heat rash. All of this makes me very unhappy. The weather we have been having lately is simply unbearable and my air conditioner has become my new best friend. 

There is ONE good thing about summer time: pretty summer dresses! No matter what your price point is, there is something adorable out there for everyone. I wear dresses all summer long. I actually don't even own a pair of shorts (but I think I need to pick up a pair soon for those super casual days). What I love about a dress is that it is so easy...no nonsense. You just throw it on and go! 

I put together a list of my favorite summer dresses at three different price points: under $100, under $50, and under $20. So there is no excuse for not looking cute this summer!
