Tis the season, and I guess, the age, where every weekend, there are weddings and/or babies to celebrate. It’s a great and exciting time for my family and friends, and you have to love all the time you get to spend dressing up and eating cupcakes and champagne.

I find it important to stock up on easy and effortless dresses that allow you to move and can stand the summer temperatures. Basically, if you can keep them somewhat trend-neutral and classic you’ll be able to style them differently for many future occasions, as spring now truly means Shower Season.

Some other perfect daytime party outfits are:

  1. Anything off the shoulder 
  2. Pastel and floral
  3. Gingham is always a good idea
  4. A neutral body-con 
  5. The sexy slip

Once again, the dress-silhouette of the season, is the slip dress and with this spring’s weather being more humid than usual, it’s absolutely perfect. To update the trending dress for 2016, I’ve paired it with simple mules and a dainty choker, that I removed for some pictures as it was getting caught in my hair (that I’m beyond obsessed with btw).

Slip dresses are so easy to wear, and because they are so on trend, you can find them in literally every length and fabric. Some of my favourite slips that I’ve styled are; this simple denim maxi dress, this sexy slip for an evening out, and the one I wear the most, the classic striped one.

What are your favourite ways to style the slip dress?

Cropped Elegance

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel what we will be wearing to this summer’s weddings. Working in the bridal industry for the past two years, I’ve developed the need to try to break the rules and pull inspiration from the fashion industry and bring it into the bridal world. That being said, I couldn’t be expected to wear a simple little black dress to any bridal affair, but rather I challenge myself to pull off this past award-season’s hottest look—The Cropped Top, done formally.  Here is what I told Fashion Magazine this week.
