.....The Runway Part

.....The Runway Part by sarinamichelle on Polyvore.com
This should look familiar :)
With me talking about how much those tulips looked like recent runway collections, I had to compile a few of my favorites. Some are RTW Spring 2011, some Resort Spring 2011, some are for this upcoming Fall 2011, and some are 'just in' items from some of my favorite stores :)
I know this post can be a little overwhelming with all the many different colors, however, I wanted to show the sheer resemblance of those tulips in my last post to what is happening now in fashion. Anything is possible for inspirations!
(If you look closely, some of the designs on the outfits, look like the birds eye views of the tulips)

Tulips in the Netherlands to the Runway

Wow. I just love my dear grandma.  Now, I know this post isn't directly about fashion, but just hold on. My grandma sent these pictures to me in an email today and I can not get over how gorgeous they are. These are all different colored tulips in the Netherlands, some birds eye view as well.  

When I first looked at the pictures it was hard to believe that they colors were that vibrant, but they are just gorgeous.  

Now, fashion note: do these colors not look super familiar? Maybe, perhaps all the neons and bright, bold, and beautiful colors that were just on the runway last week?  I've seen more of these colors on the runways the past two weeks than I ever have (besides in a box of crayons). Maybe the Netherlands were a little inspiration, no? And now I need something in each of these colors in my wardrobe ASAP. 

I had to share these beautiful pictures with everyone, I hope you enjoy :)

Spring is Just Around the Corner

Spring is Just Around the Corner by sarinamichelle featuring bezel jewelry

I am so excited for this warm weather that I can't stop buying cute things to make it come faster! I bought the dress and sunglasses today and I am working towards saving for the shoes and watch! I wish I would have found this dress before Valentines day because that would have been the perfect outfit :) BUT I didn't so...... It is still perfect for spring and summer weather and just wanting to look cute. I thought that the nude and gold theme worked well with the colors in the dress. The dress has a retro silhouette feel to it so that is also why I chose the retro sunglasses to go with it. the bag is a nice contrast to the nudes and gold, but stills stays in a similar color palette. Everything is from ASOS.com

Inner Spring Child

As I am so terribly upset that I have not been able to update this recently, I will lighten my mood with one of my favorite outfits for up and coming spring.  

This tiered shirt is so precious, and when I wear  it, it definitely brings out the little girl in me :)  this is the perfect outfit to bring spring out. Here in Kentucky, it is starting to warm up a little bit, and I am getting so ecstatic to bring out all of my light, flowy, and bright clothes.  This outfit looks great on warm skin tones and those who are working on their spring tan.  I like the sleeves to cover up my arms a bit for the breezy days.  Pair these with a strappy flat sandal or even a pair of nude wedges and you have got yourself the perfect spring outfit and mood lightener!

This is the jewelry I have paired with the outfit.  Going along with my pink theme, I added some pink bangles.  A big floral bangle as well as a smaller pink bangle, goes perfect with this outfit and adds a little pop of darker color to change it up draw the eye to different points of your outfit.  Also, I added a bow necklace for another girly touch that I think accents the outfit really well.  It is chunky enough to add a bit of 'oomph' to the outfit but still girly for the bow!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post!

Wedding Bells

Here comes the bride....
Just kidding I am not getting married anytime soon, but I found myself looking through Marchesa bridal, and amoung others this dress caught my eye and would be one I could dream about walking down the isle in.
It is gorgeous. And there is not much else to say about it. I love how flowy it is, yet has a touch of fitted feel to it.
I would, however have to change the detailed belt to gold because, well, that's just more ME and it is MY wedding day. :-)
I could not imagine wearing anything other than Marchesa on my blessed day, and this could be the dress, but seeing that I am not getting married anytime soon I know Marchesa will have plenty of gorgeous gowns for me to choose from and I can not wait to see all my options when my lucky day comes!
And there you have it! My mid-day blog post and thoughts!

Sunny Smiles :)

In about one month I will be out of Kentucky and in sunny Florida, and I couldn't be any more excited! I've been getting some of the plans together today and that started my inspiration for todays post! That, and the fact that it is blizzard-ing outside. I hate winter.

This maxi style dress is perfect for the beach. The light and airy fabric is ideal for strolling on the beach or just sitting around, enjoying the view. Maxi dresses are great for just about any body type. The top on this is great at showing off the décolletage area.  If needed, it is also great and hiding a few things with its length and also the light fabric. These types of dresses can be worn anytime anywhere, and there is just about any style/color/pattern to make it appropriate for anything!

  I got this dress recently, during below freezing temperatures in hopes that warm weather would be coming soon. As it turns out, it kinda just makes me mad that I am not in Florida yet, and that it keeps snowing here. However, I still love my dress and I can not wait to wear it on Vacation in the warm weather!

These dresses look great without any jewelry, but I though I would add just a little something! Either way, if you do decide to add jewelry, keep it a longer chain, like this owl one!

Maxi Style dresses have a little Greek influence to them, and so do these earrings, so I added these! Like I said, this dress would be just as beautiful without any jewelry. As another little side tip: to keep it simple, choose one piece of jewelry (necklace or earrings, or an arm of a few bangles). I know, I know, the picture has both, but hey, do as I say, not as I do. :)

Also pair the dress with a pair of cute wedges and your all set for a day at the beach!

Just thought I would inform everyone before I go to bed :-) goodnight blogger family and I hope everyone has stylish dreams!
