Seaglass Megan Dress

The Megan Dress from Karina Dresses has quickly become one of my favorite go to everyday looks! This particular print Seaglass is perfect for Summer!  It reminds me of the gorgeous colors of the Gulf Coast, where I love to vacation. I will definitely pack this one, when I head down there next time! I can also count on it being wrinkle free when I get there.  I love the Megan style for many reasons.  The fitted waist and wide band is very flattering with the full skirt. It also is a great length.  I like how the sleeves fit and have a gathered detail that can be found on the shoulders as well. I would have this style in every print if I could! 

Karina Dresses are crafted in the Hudson Valley, NY and are of the highest quality you can get. You'll feel great knowing you supported an American made product and look even better wearing it! 

Karina Dresses has a lot of great styles and prints for this Summer, so make sure you check them all out! I'm confident you will find one you love. --->Website

Sunshine and the Mandala Swing Dress

If you are looking for a perfect Summer dress this is it! Dancing Days by Banned Clothing has brought this 50's Mandala Swing Dress to us. This is great for a day in the sunshine walking through the sunflowers!  The print will make you instantly happy too! It features hummingbirds and flowers in gorgeous shades of blue, yellow, teal and orange. The background is ivory. I think the colors will actually work to take through the fall season as well!  The dress has a fitted bodice and huge flared circle skirt.  I wore a petticoat under it.  It has a keyhole neckline with two other cutouts trimmed in piping making it really stand out. I also love the little sleeves.  This style has a hidden side zipper. I know you will be happy adding this gorgeous piece to your wardrobe!

These perfectly matched heels and bag are Dancing Days by Banned Clothing as well!  They have awesome accessories too!  This bag is a stunning mustard yellow with a rhinestone closure. It gets a lot of compliments! The Unforgettable Pumps are in the same color and are so comfortable!  They have a square heel, so they are very sturdy for walking and dancing. 

Banned has been creating clothing since 1990. They have accessories, bags, dresses, skirts, tops, shoes, shorts and more! You can find them at stockists around the world.  They are constantly bringing out vintage inspired fashions that make you feel in style in the modern world. 

My hairband is also Banned.  The possibilities are endless for accessorizing with this! I wore a stack of bangles and earrings by Splendette in coordinating colors. Have fun with your look and you will be happy and confident! 

Red, White and Blue!

July is a special month for us here in the United States, especially the 4th of July! We celebrate that day in 1776 where we gained our freedom and adopted the Declaration of Independence. We are truly blessed to live in the greatest nation on earth! 

As with most special occasions, it is always fun to have a great outfit to wear. I like to go with themes for holidays and seasons. For the 4th, only red, white and blue will do! I found this dress from Lindy Bop to be perfect for the occasion! This halter neck swing dress has all the features I love.  The Lori Ann Blue Stars Swing Dress has a fitted waist and huge full skirt. I adore all of the little stars and the red trim makes the perfect accents. The wide halter tie falls just right along the sides of the chest to be very flattering. It ties around the back of the neck. The dress has back zip and a little stretch to the material. The bodice is lined as well. You could wear a red or white petticoat with this dress to add extra fullness and create a really cute look.  I didn't wear a petticoat for this, but it would look great! You can find this dress in many sizes XXS-6XL. I also added the red belt to cinch my waist some. Belts are a fun way to accessorize!  You can usually find some great ones at thrift stores or even Ebay or Amazon. 

Lindy Bop has always been a great vintage reproduction company!  You can count on them to always have beautiful styles and affordable pricing. You will be surprised at how many styles they offer and come out with weekly! There is also an amazing sale section and the offer cheap shipping in the U.S. Their dresses are available at stockist all over the world and can be found in some department stores now. I think you will be happy with the choices you have, so happy shopping and Happy 4th of July!
