I'm Back!

              Hey y'all, sorry its been a long time since I've written. I've been caught up with our school's play, homework, reviewing for A.P. tests, and registering for the SAT. So anyways... enough of the boring things and on to the fun stuff. My school's prom is coming up in a few months and obviously, as you can imagine there's so much excitement. Us girls are beginning to look for dresses and the guys are saving up their cash to pay for another ticket for their date. Don't we girls get it good? So below are a few of my ideas for prom. Mainly shoes and dresses I like. This year, I either want to classy or princessy.

A more classy look paired with some silver high heels most likely something like the shoe below.
  

And my favorite kinds of princessy dresses... Salmon and Mint some of my favorite colors

 or

And these dresses would either be paired with a pair of strapped silver heels or nude pumps. (as seen below).

Where has class gone?

          Remember years ago when women had class. When they help their head high with the respect of many. When they had beautiful and modest style and believed in goodness. When ladies had poise and elegance. They said profound words and held their own, not a care of if the world thought ill of them. One of these ladies I believe is Audrey Hepburn. In fact, she is the reason I adore my middle name Audrey. She had class. She had deep thoughts and witty sayings, as she said thinks like,

“I believe in pink.

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. 

I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. 

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. 

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. 

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” 

               She was the definition of class from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to "Roman Holiday" her acting career made her famous and her outlook on life... even more so. I wish the world still had some Audreys in it. Modern-day Cinderellas.

School Work and Daydreams

             I've found it especially hard lately to keep my mind focused on school. I sit there staring at my computer screen trying to write a paper or finish a research project and my mind just drifts. Its incredibly annoying, but enjoyable at the same time. Homecoming week is coming up and I've already bought my dress for the dance. I keep thinking of that enchanting night and the excitement that's coming and I just loose focus a bit. Its probably not healthy. But even so, I thought might post some pictures. Below is a picture of my dress :)

Now Here's the hair I'm aiming for.

And the eye make up... (Smokey/cat eye...)

And here's the shoes... classic black heels.

Let's just establish I'm a bit too excited. Anyways, I'd better get back to my homework. 

A week of dresses.

                 This is certainly not a fashion blog, however I do like to integrate my taste in my writing so, I am going to share with you something, I have never told anyone this. Okay... get ready... If I could, I would wear dresses every day. I absolutely love the feminine feeling of wearing them. I like the fact that when I put on a dress, I feel like a lady. I just want to twirl around in dresses all day long. Okay, so I don't live in a story book but, I just wish that girls today dressed as well as they did in the 50's. I wish we spent time to wear dresses and skirts. Obviously, I live in 2011 and my wardrobe basically consists mainly of jeans and ruffled tank-tops, maybe a few skirts or so... very few dresses unfortunately. However, if I had the money and time, I would just wear dresses. So below are the 7 dresses I would choose if I had 1 week to wear only dresses.

1. Sunday 


            Okay, so this dress is white and lacey, perfect for a Sunday. I've always thought that white is the color to wear on Sundays. You need something with a feminine touch (the lace accounts for this) and then the white to tie it into the the purity of the day. Unfortunately, as I've grown older I've found it hard to wear dresses on Sundays, but this dress is absolutely gorgeous. So white. On a Sunday. I think yes.

2. Monday


            Mondays. Don't we all love them? Of course not! On Monday it is absolutely important to wear a dress that you are comfortable in. Something more casual and cute. Most people come back from the weekend in drab clothing just hoping to get through their Mondays. If it were me, I'd were something to catch their eye. Navy stripes on the top and bright red bowed skirt on the bottom. Beachy with a hint of pretty.

3. Tuesday


              Tuesdays. The week has just started to get going. Today its all about work. Now when I'm older, I'd like to be a teacher. Unfortunately some teachers think that denim floor-length jumpers are in style. Maybe in the 90's? This modern dress has a denim look to it, yet is sophisticated with ruffles. Basically it remodels the elementary teacher look. Plus the thin leather belt also gives you and hour-glass shape. Who wouldn't want that?

4. Wednesday


               Now we're mid-week. Typically I head straight from school to church, so the dress I choose today has to be able to easily able to be dressed up. With these specifications I've decided this dress works quite well. Its bright and beautiful, sweet and romantic, and pulled together with a a comfortable fit. Floral skirted bottom and white slightly ruffled top. Everything about this dress screams girly. 

5. Thursday


            Thursdays. I think that besides Mondays, these days are the worst days of the entire week. Why? Well, you've already been going to work/school for 4 days now and its not even Friday! Most people wear frumpy clothes on Thursdays. So, today is a day to dress cleanly. I've chosen a pearl colored dress for this day. I absolutely love this. Its petite top and fan-like bottom is so cute. Perfect with a cardigan and a pair of brightly colored flats.  

6. Friday


           I think this dress looks like one right out of a Tiffany's store. The color. The style. The bow. I love everything about this dress. Out of all 7 dresses, this is my favorite. Of course, we save the best for Friday. My favorite day of the week. This dress is also very versatile. You can wear it out even after work or school. I can just picture myself in this dress on my first date, having lunch under a tree in the park, chatting about everything under the sun... okay maybe I'm getting a bit carried away here. But I honestly adore this dress. So cute.

7. Saturday


        Saturdays are always more casual. I've chose a fun ruffled salmon-colored dress for this day. It goes well with my skin tone and of course I've always loved ruffles so nothing's wrong with this dress. Lovely dress. Pair it with some strapped sandals and a messenger bag... sounds like a dress to go shopping in.

Bicycles.

I just love them. Bicycles. Aren't they amazing. Here you are, riding your bicycle all through town, running errands and throwing groceries into the basket on the front. Or how about renting a bike and riding around an island all the while being such a tourist in your sun hat and beach dress. Or how about riding to the park for a picnic lunch? In any case, for some reason the idea of bicycles have always fascinated me. I also love those cute couples that take their wedding/engagement photos on the back red bicycles. So cute. So classy. So me.

Bicycles have also been a statement of fashion with a "vintage" touch. You see them in countless photo shoots, magazines, & old movies. Want to make a statement? Grab a bike.
                          

Vintage Clothes

         Now, this isn't a fashion blog, but since I've been into the whole oldies music lately I thought I might as well another article about things that seem to have a "vintage" feel to them. So here I go.  P.S. all these oufits are put together on shopruche.com in their "Unending Love" catalog. This one seems to be based off the Notebook. (P.S.S. for more about fashion in olden days or 1940's era check out this blog 1940's darling... made by one of my followers who absolutely seems to have a heart for vintage)

Picnic Wear (shopruche.com)

        

Picnic wear: I absolutely love this combination! The white bowed shirt is paired with a floral skirt, and a tan cardigan to tie it all together. Its so classic, something I could almost see myself pulling out of the closet. Out of all the outfits below this is one of my favorites. Its got that "timeless" feel yet a modern twist. Absolutely charming.

Boating attire: Stunning. A lemon/cream-colored ruffled dress and bronze bowed belt all complimented with a light pink flower. Once again, an endless classic. Very feminine, I honestly love the ruffles, but that's just me.

Lacey beauty: Absolutely archaic. Lacey off-white dress + red flowered hair band = breathless undertaking. I absolutely love this, but I must admit if I owned such a "classical number" I don't know where I'd wear it. Maybe to the park or out for a shopping day.

Baby's Breath Blue Dress (shopruche.com)

Baby's Breath Blue Dress: Very light on the eyes, Light blue lacey dress with a a light pink ribbon around the waist to form more of an hour-glass shape. I love it. It reminds me of the dress Wendy wears in Peter Pan, but of course with a more modern twist. Very smart piece... easy to dress up or down.

Exploration Apparel: Peach flowery cardigan, tan lacey dress, and navy blue flats. Classy with a modern twist.

Another one I wish I had in my closet.

Flower Girl (shopruche.com)

Flower Girl: Sunny straw hat, floral lightly fitted blouse and long cream skirt - all convey a  feminine beauty. I love this mid-length sleeve on the top and the longer skirt. It seems modest, good for a cooler summer day.

Garden Garments: Colorful floral/summer dress with a touch of lace and floppy hat, something I wish I had the guts to pull off. I honestly yearn for a dress like this one. Its absolutely enthralling. Simple, yet classic, timeless, and most of all....a touch of vintage.
