Summer in the city

Hello my dearest lovelies! I hope everyone is doing fine.

On the blog today I will post on one of my favorite summertime dresses that I wore on a recent visit to the beautiful cosmopolitan city of Minneapolis, in the state of Minnesota. But first I must pay homage to this wonderful and culturally diverse city which has successfully harmonized metropolitan vibes  alongside a multitude of surrounding picturesque parks, gardens and lakes. In light thereof, Minneapolis is definitely a city after my own heart.

During my visit, I spent a lot of time outdoors exploring the city and savoring the beauty and allurement of being in a bustling municipality.   Therefore, dressing for comfort without sacrificing style was a prerequisite.  Hence, on one of the days, I wore a short black and white lace dress which has sufficient stretch thereby making it an ideal outfit for walking around the city comfortably. Furthermore,  the length of this dress and its light breathable material  makes this ensemble perfect for the warm summer days. Yet, admittedly my favorite feature of this attire is the intricate lace details which romanticized  the outfit by giving it an element of sweet feminine charm.  Playing on the whimsical aspect of the outfit and adding a touch of Parisian chicness , I accessorized by wearing a black straw hat with a gold chain feature.

In terms of footwear, I wore a pair of white block heels shoes, which not only complemented  the monochrome look of my  attire but provided comfort and ease as I wandered around the city. Although, I donned this outfit  for a causal day time look, the dress  is a versatile piece so making it perfect to be worn for a night out on the town.

This concludes my blog post. I hope you all enjoy this post and thank you for reading.

Lots of love,

Vintage Crochet Lace

Hi Sweethearts!

My post today will be on how I styled my lace crochet skirt.

Prior to buying this skirt, my knowledge on crochet was limited to the crochet doilies I saw being used as table mats or some sort of home décor.  So I was pretty surprised when I saw this crochet skirt. However, my amazement quickly diminished as I had instantaneously fallen in love with the crochet lace details on the skirt.  The beauty and appeal of the crochet lace is that it appears vintage and timeless which is further enhanced by the camel tone lining thereby creating what I deem an ultra feminine and  romantic skirt.

So I thought this was the perfect piece to wear when my husband and I returned to one of the places  I hold dear to my heart , The River Walk at The Woodlands Waterway, Houston, Texas, because it was there he  proposed to me.

To complete my outfit, I wanted the crochet lace to be the focal point so I decided to pair it with a  knitted, high neck top. I  felt that the blush color and the soft jersey material of the top  added the perfect balance to the net fabric of the crochet lace . To further enhance my outfit  I decided to wear a delicate floral necklace. And that my darlings is how I styled my lace crochet skirt. 

I hope you enjoy this post. Until next time….

xoxo,

Salisha
