Floral With a Vintage Flair!

Hello lovelies,

This post is extremely late this week due to bad weather and recovery from a weekend-long retreat I attended. I have been fortunate enough to be included on the Catholic Youth Leadership Team for my diocese and got to spend the entire year working with who are now some of my closest friends to plan the Annual Catholic Youth Convention. It was such a blessed experience and I hope I can do it again next year.

But I digress. I was so excited to learn that this week's trend was floral because I had just received a vintage dress that my grandmother wore from my mom and I am absolutely in love with it! I have a huge crush on vintage-style clothing, especially from the 1940s-50s era.

Sandals: Born; Dress: Vintage, handmade, similar one here: Eshakti; Earrings: Handmade

This outfit is great for a busy summer day when you have tons of fun to get to, but you slept in! If your dress is a wrap one like mine, it's super quick to get into. All you need to do next is pop on some cute sandals, a pair of earrings, and you're ready to take on the world! For makeup I just did the basics: Foundation, Mascara, lip gloss and blush, but you could definitely play around with a bright red lip and a cat-eye for an extra retro feel. The messy bun is quick and a bit of a modern touch, but if you really want to go all out, you can add a headscarf and maybe even some curls!

I hope you all didn't mind the wait too much, I apologize again, hopefully my next post will be on schedule!

Love you,

Bridget

Trend Introduction: Pastels for Easter

Hello everyone!

Spring has sprung here in Maine with temperatures hovering around fifty degrees.  Lots of sunshine and experimenting with my warmer weather clothes, all of which must mean Easter is getting close! Only eleven days left. Easter is one of my favorite holidays and one part that I enjoy is getting all dressed up for mass and I imagine you all like that part too. Mercy, Hannah, Brooke and I will be here all the time leading up to the special day with outfit and beauty ideas to get you inspired and ready to celebrate the rising of Christ.

I've put together some various outfits on Polyvore to give you all plenty of ideas. Here you go:

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter,

love,

Bridget

Happy (late) St. Patrick's day, everyone!

I am super excited about this outfit, because the weather here in Maine is finally warming up a bit and I was able to take pictures outside! It is still rather chilly and wet, but I won't let that get me down.

The dress and shoes I'm wearing were a gift from my wonderful parents and I'm obsessed with them. The dress is so simple and versatile that it can be thrown on in the blink of an eye and dressed up or down as needed. The shoes are so edgy and fun, also quite comfortable and great for running around in the summer.

Dress: Cynthia Rowley, Shoes: Report, Leggings: Target, Scarf: Old Navy,Earrings: Kohl's

To define the waist on this dress more, you could add a belt, or do without like me for a more relaxed look.

This is actually a plain scarf that I turned into an infinity cowl with a cute, simple, temporary diy. Here's how: simply take a corner from each end of the scarf and knot them together, then repeat with the other two corners. Position the knots behind your neck, wrap once or twice, and enjoy!

I had some fun with the twirly skirt of this dress. Can you tell?

Thanks for reading! Hope everyone had a fantastic St. Patrick's day and avoided getting pinched.

Love,

Bridget
