Ball Gown

A ball gown is one of those items that always reminds me of a princess and let me tell you, as soon as I put this pink tulle gown on, I felt like one! My love for tulle knows no bounds. I'm wearing a US 2, which fit perfectly, plus there is a bra strap in the back making this dress simple and secure to wear without one. I did have to hem the dress since the length was overwhelming for my 5'2 frame. Short people problems! I love the voluminous flair of the skirt and how its not too puffy, but rather skims the body and falls gracefully. The little flower appliques with rhinestones are the grand finishing touch to make this gown simply sweet.

It should be noted that the dress I chose and the dress that was sent are different making me conclude the company does reproduction dresses from images. Nonetheless, I'm still head over heels enamored with how the gown came out. Make sure to check below for some behind the scenes photographs from the shoot!

Behind The Scenes Photos:

I had an absolute blast shooting these photos! I was lucky enough to have my dad and relative Mark help out. These two were amazing. I used the tripod a bit, my dad would help shoot if it was a difficult spot, and Mark scouted and set up the location for me. We were on the roof top of City Center DC right after sunset. The perfect time to be donning your formal attire.

Spring Formal

Happy Monday, friends! It's that time of year when guys and dolls start thinking about what to wear to their spring formal or prom. Planning for my own prom was stressful enough and I made sure to have enough time to get all of the details figured out. What style of dress did I want? What color and length? How did I want my hair to look? What type of shoes should I wear? This was the one night I would be able to get all dressed up and feel like a princess heading to a ball. I remember how excited and nervous I was at the same time. I had a blast dancing with my date and some of my friends, while also snapping some photos to capture the memories. It is funny to look back at the photos though haha. I was blown away at how different I look and how much my style has changed. Unfortunately, I do not have a full length photo of the dress. I do have one somewhere in an album at my parents house, but not one saved on my hard drive. It was actually my favorite part because of how flowy it was. Make sure to check out some throwback photos below!

If I could do it all over again, I would definitely wear this dress.  The detailing is exquisite and the full tulle skirt is the stuff that dreams are made of (extra points if you can tell me what movie that line is from!) The top has a soft blush hue with pink sequins and a sexy little cut out hole in the back. That's another reason why I'm so in love with this dress. It's modest, yet has an alluring back and some of the most beautiful detailing I've seen. No lie when I say that this is one of my most favorite dresses that I own. I wanted to wear my hair up for this look because of the back, but usually for every dance I would leave my hair down and curled.
