Monday Bloom Link up on Fall Wedding guest attire - Photo booth



 

Dress: Asos; Bag: Asos; Heels: Shoe Dazzle;Necklace: H&M

Recently, I got quite a few requests on what to wear to a wedding. I already did a post about what to wear on a summer wedding (click here).
As fall is approaching I am teaming up with my lovely Elena @ dc in style  and our guest host Rebecca @Red Tag Chic Los Angeles to show you what to wear to a fall wedding.

As important to look gorgeous on such an event it is also to capture those moments on pictures to look back at some great memories.The lovely Danielle  from treasuredmems contacted me and wanted to let you know how to create precious memories with a photo booth:

"Do you remember the excitement of jumping into a photo booth with your friends, making faces and posing for the camera? Or maybe you would drag your boyfriend or girlfriend in and surprise them with a kiss behind the curtain? Photo booths elicit fond memories from so many people and their place in history is undeniable. Andy Warhol made photo booths fashionable in the 1960’s asking celebrities like Marilyn Monroe to pose for him in a photo booth in Times Square. Soon he was asked to create magazine covers and exhibitions using his unique artistic take on the common photo booth.

Such an unmistakeable machine may have an auspicious place in history, but recently, they have started to emerge, coming back into the fold as a popular form of photography. Imagine your next event - wedding, engagement party, birthday - and being able to capture all those precious moments the way that they used to be captured. Photo booths are again an affordable and accessible way to document your special occasion, preserving wallet sized, lasting memories. There are many companies that offer photo booths for hire, they come in different sizes, with different cameras and printing capabilities. Treasured Mems offers stylish, curtained photo booths that come with an assistant. Imagine how excited your guests will be when they turn up to celebrate and realise that there is a photo booth involved!

While it’s common to take photos on our phones these days, sometimes you are just having too much fun to remember to take any photos. A photo booth makes the documentation of your event, a part of the event! It’s the perfect solution. And these days most photo booths come with the option to save your photos onto a usb, so not only do you have the thrill of receiving an instant, printed copy, you also have them saved so you can print more out of enlarge them if you like. They really add a little style and pizzazz to your event."

Thank you for this interesting info. If you want more information or even consider it for your next wedding or party, make sure to check out their homepage!

Midi dress








 Dress: Vero Moda, Blazer: H&M; Sandals: Via Uno; Ring: Pilgrim
I wore this outfit to work the other day. A midi floral skirt made out of chiffon is light weighted and gives your skin enough room to breathe, especially on hotter summer days. A short blazer is the perfect piece to layer on when you are sitting on air conditioned offices. The sided braid hair up do complements pefectly to this romantic floral pattern and the bow sandals.

White Monochrome with Mango















Blazer: Mango new fall collection: Dress : asos; Necklace: Zara (new); Belt + Clutch: Asos; Heels: Nine West; White Nail polish: OPI

My man took me out for a nice seafood dinner for my birthday at the Ocean in Cervia (Italy). Spending most of the day working on my tan, I thought a white ensemble will pay off the sweating and sunburn. I was hunting for the perfect fitting blazer for over 2 years now, thanks to the new Mango fall collection the searching has an end. The material is pretty thick so it doesn't wrinkle that quickly as those lighter summer version ones that are most of the part see through. Plus to the stretchy fabric it hugs my body perfectly. I haven't found it online yet but bought it like 2 weeks ago in one of the Mango stores in Maastricht. As soon as I find the link, I will add it to the description. Eric gifted me this beautiful statement necklace, doesn't it add so much glamour to the whole ensemble? I was so excited when I found out that the stones in the belt matches the one in the necklace. It was also very difficult finding a white dress, that doesn't show your underwear and fitting nicely. That asos dress fullfill all those critera. Wish the yellow version wasn't sold out. What a darling classic summer dress.  I felt I had the perfect birthday dinner look.

True Love - The Notebook

Today's post is a little bit different....
Because of him I feel complete and being content and happy in my heart. With him I shine even more and  look even prettier in this beautifull dress.
Do y'all know the great love story of Noah & Allie in the Notebook? This is exactly what our love is like!

“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ”
Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook 

I love him for his warmhearted smiles and pretty blue eyes....
 I love when he dances with me at totally awkward places...
I love when we have a good time together and he laughs about my goofiness...

 I love that he makes this "turtle move" in order to kiss me because I am soo small...
 I love beeing free as a bird when I am with him...
 I love standing by him...
 I love when he looks at me like that...
 Grrr he drives me nuts when he tickles me but he loves how I laugh out loud
 Because of me he has his sixpack... ;-)
 I love when he makes this facial expression, means he is thinking about sth. ["when do I get tf out of here taking pictures and have a beer"]
 I love when he helps me down because I was climping a 2 meter wall with 4 inch heels to take pictures...
 and can't make it myself.....
 
Looking in his blue eyes connects me to his beautiful soul...
Here is an abstract of my favourite movie:

Love me some classic oldy movies and music

Congrats, you made it through this lovey dovey post!
I promise, in the next post that beautiful Elise dress from Asos will be the main character!

Thanks for reading and have a great start in the week. I am finaly back from my Italy trip and will share some impressions of it in the next weeks!

birthday pink leather skater skirt







 skirt: Asos; Bag: Asos; Heels: Shoe Dazzle; Blouse: Zara (old); Watch: Swarovsky

While you are reading this post, I am celebrating my birthday tomorrow in Italy at the Adriatic coast with my man and having some nice days before he goes back to the states. I love being away from home during my birthday because its less stressful baking all those cakes for your guests.
I love this playful romantic ensemble with the leather skater skirt and that ruffled blouse that I had for years now. I was pretty hesitating getting this skirt at first as it was pretty pricey but I just loved the cut and that rich pink so much, I couldn't resist. If you wanna know how to design this beautiful skirt yourself, dulce candy shows a great diy video. It does not look that difficult at all. Maybe you wanna give it a try in order not to spend too much on it :-)
Another trend I love right now are white fingernails, they look amazing especially when the sun kissed your skin.
Have a great start in the week. I will be back by the middle of next week!

Modern Monochrome/Via Uno Pumps







 
Faux leather skirt: asos; Blouse: Koton; Belt and Bag: Asos; Pumps: Via Uno similar; Ring: Present

Do you love monochromatic dressing? They are a huge trend this season and can be easily created with the basic items you have in your closet. Just look for  pieces that are in the same colour family. 

One way to keep your style chic and simple is to mix and match different textures and pattern . It can be as I did on this look  in black and white and throw in some gold accessories (for an extra portion of glamour) or using a different monochrome palette. It doesn't have to be bold. I was playing with different textures as leather, silk and some ruffles and bows for some touch of girlyness.
Usually I like to bring some splash of colour in the monochrome game  to lift it but not today. I wanted to keep it crisp clean and timeless with just black and white.

I have those super cute bow pumps by Via Uno in beige and black. I love their clean and classic feminine designs . Not only are they super comfortable but so affordable too. Do you wear Via Uno?

PS: If you click on asos to see the white leather skirt , you will see a Model who is 1.80 m and rock this skirt like a pro. When I tried this skirt on  it was probably 10 cm under my knees and became a midi skirt, which looks horrible on my figure with 1.66m. SOOOO I pulled the skirt up to nearly my breast so that its hitting my knees, I guess that works . I felt like the sister of Steve Urkel, just needed my suspenders :-D
