BUTTERFLIES

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 

If you read my blog on regular basis, you may have noticed that lately, it's been all about floor-length gowns for me and the amazing, lace and sequined butterfly Via Della Perle number I am wearing in today's post is definitely one of my favorites so far. Couldn't decide what I love the most about it if I tried, but I have a feeling, it is the combination of elements rather than a particular detail. I think what attracted me to this dress in the first place was the beautiful gunmetal butterfly embroidery, but the open back combined with the sexy lace asymmetric hem made me fall in love! 

In terms of styling a floor length gown, though it can certainly look great paired with an up-do and demure, ladylike accessories, I prefer to go for a slightly nonchalant look and wear it with casual hair, edgier accessories like studded heels and  multi-finger rings and a bright lip. 

Thank you for reading

NEW HAIR & KINDA CASUAL

I've been thinking about chopping off my hair for some time now. Initially, I wanted to go super short, like Karlie Kloss short, but once I got to the salon I realized I wasn't ready to give up my long hair just yet. So, I went with a medium length and I am definitely happy with the way it turned out! Much easier to style, it looks and feels healthier and slicker, I think.

And who knows, I may just go super short eventually but for now, I like being able to wear a ponytail or do my favorite side-braid. What do you guys think? Long and wavy or shorter and straight?
