When I think of occasionwear, I think clothes that are stiff, maybe a bit boring or subdued, matronly or overly embellished. Not what I want to wear any day of my life. Fortunately, I’ve found a dress that’s playful, bold and actually wearable.

Occasions are usually parties, which are meant to be fun—I think your outfit should make you feel wonderful and ready to partake in it!

I've never been too good with beauty - growing up, the most makeup I ever wore was a sweep or two of brown mascara, but now with the prevalence of YouTube videos and Instagram stories, I'm growing a bit more confident with my beauty routine—and finding and including new products that I love—on the regular.

Few things make me happier than days spent in Notting Hill, in part because of the pastel townhomes that always put a smile on my face. As it was Easter, I also added to the pastel theme with the details of my outfit, and I of course had to snap some photos.

Better really (like, really) late than never, so here are a few photos from last summer when we flew out to Chicago for a family wedding. I was a bit nervous, as I'd be meeting quite a few of my husband's family members for the first time. And even more nervous because I hadn't yet chosen what to wear (or even brought a dress with me!).

Today's the beginning of a beautiful...series: Ten Things. Every so often, I'll pull together ten of my favorite finds from around the web, sometimes themed, like today, and sometimes not.

For the first edition, I'm talking ten things I'm packing in my suitcase for our upcoming trip to Tulum, Mexico.

This is how I dress for those awkward months where it feels like winter, but looks like spring. Covered in blooms from head to toe, my outfit does quite literally look the like coming season but I'm still warm enough for the current chilly temperatures.

A change in season is always so refreshing - most importantly because you have an excuse to make some additions to the wardrobe and today I'm talking shoes.

With the arrival of summer comes sunshine, warmer temperatures, days spent outside in the park, and a bit of a change to my makeup routine - I've gathered my go-to products for the season.

Glasses of bubbly, a chance to wear a pretty dress, and an afternoon spent in the sunshine? Polo is my kind of sport - here are seven term to know.
