Prom & Ponderings

♪ Tinie Tempah - It's OK ♪

The last of year of highschool is definitely one of contrasts. I have the most impressive amount of stuff to learn and it sort of equals the amount of parties I'll attend. This month alone there might be three, and of course then comes the well-known question: "What will I wear?". This year, I'm kind of going with the flow, while listening to Tinie Tempah's new masterpiece, "Demonstration" (nobody can't convince his first album was better than this) and being calmer than last year. Still, a big question comes into my mind dreadfully: "What kind of gown should I buy for my last prom?".

The prom in question will take place in May (2014 that is) so before you jump ahead and call me crazy let me tell you some of my mates already bought their dresses for the most important event in this highschool year. Naturally, I started searching for specialized sites and I've come across to 1dress.co.uk , the site from where I took the incredible photos you can see above. This online retail store has helped me with one major thing: I've decided the three major styles I like most in a prom dress. Firstly, we're talking long prom dresses. I've given this a lot of thought and I just can't see myself finishing highschool wearing a short dress, I want an ample, feminine gown! Now , on the styles:

Daring Cuts: They're all the rage right now, designer are racing to find more subtle and unique cuts. I love them, it's just that I don't think I have the courage or the atitude to wear one shoulder prom dresses. Only time will tell, I still have a long way to go until May.

Glamour: I think I want to see some sequins on my dress, but I'm not sure on the amount, I don't want to look kitch. Maybe just for the top, as in the second photo?

Red Prom Dresses: I've always dreaded red, I have only one thing red in my closet, which I bought forced by the fact all my class had to wear the same color one day and we opted for red. Still, ever since I turned 18 I find it more appealing, but I would have to be careful about the shade of red, I don't want to remind everyone of Christmas.

So, what do you think? Do you have any advice for me, considering the fact that you've been following my fashion journey so far? One thing I found awesome abut this site is the fact they offer a 10$ discount if you use this code: xq10usdoff . And, since on Instragram today it's the usual "Throwback Thursday", I want to share a photo of me wearing my favourite long dress back in June:

Dream trip & tips

Hitting the road has become pretty common for me lately. I'm spending some quality time with my family in a quite place at the moment after I just got from a 4-day trip/camp with my classmates. It was dreamy, we had so many adventures and parties (in the collage you can see a mirror photo taken before one-so unusual of me , but mom wanted to see the outfit), I slept 11 hours all together and I don't regret it! On the last night, we talked about some of our favourite places to visit and that was the first time I actually felt like I want to visit USA one day badly. Not just the iconic New York and Los Angeles, but also the glamorous and eccentric Las Vegas.

As I am dreamer and I have noticed that you guys respond well to my mini guides when it comes to outfits to wear on certain occasions/ trends I figured I might as well envision the perfect trip to Las Vegas and the outfits appropriate for all the events! The first picture shows an elegant look for a visit to the casino because we all think casinos when we say 'Las Vegas'. What else is there to see? I started searching online and I found so many other things to do in Vegas that I concluded it is a trip worth taking once in a lifetime. Here's how I would dress for my favourite activities there:

Show/ Magic Show/ Concert - Vegas is well-known for the incredible shows that take place on a daily basis. There is a variety of shows and that's why I would go for something comfy (e.g. so I can dance if it's a concert) but also outrageous&courageous ! This Michael Kors tee paired with the purple Jimmy Choo sandals is the perfect combination.

Shopping- As cliché as it might sound, Las Vegas is one of the big cities where all the high end brands have grand boutiques. Why would I still spend a lot of time in the shops even on this terms? First of all, because big brands stock their stores depending on the country, the tourists and the asking, therefore you can imagine how many cool things they have there. Secondly, let's not forget I'm a shopaholic! Even if I'm in a little village you'll find me in the local shops.  

My number one rules when shopping as a tourist: always wear flats!

What about you? Do you have some luxurious place in your mind? Please share, it's good to dream every once in a while.

Good things will come my way.

So what if it's fall? We can still COLORBLOCK! by marylu1 featuring a tie shirt

I still can't get used to the idea it is fall now. Nothing changed except the weather, at least until Monday, when school starts again. I can't imagine how I will deal with it since it's such an important year, but I'd rather not think about it, at least for the time being.

I feel so inspired lately, I'm excited for the fashion weeks, even if I'll just have to watch the whole experience on style.com and other sites. I don't get why I should give up to bright colors this fall, I think I'll still keep some accents in my outfits (that's why you see that set above). I just have a good feeling, I'm optimistic, it will be my name day soon (I'm Mary, in case you have forgotten) and I have just realised I haven't done an inspiration post in months!

 

I soo want a Daisy Perfume right noww!

 

 I own a sweater just like this one, only not the same label haha! Oh well, can't wait to wear it this fall!

PS: I'm sorry I have no idea about  the source of the photos, Tumblr is a great place, but it'quite unfair for the owners of the photos, because not many people mention the source. Hence, I have no idea about the owners. Please let me know if you know something.
