the sunshine blogger award

All I can say is thank you! Recently, I was nominated for The Sunshine Blogger Award by the incredible Maritime Mama. I used to see a lot of blogging awards being passed around but it's been a while. So, I am truly honoured to have been considered and be able to share this with other wonderful bloggers. Though there are many positive aspects of blogging...the sense of community is one of the best. That makes this award extra special. Thank you again to Maritime Mama for the nomination.

They come in a variety of colours (from neutral to bold and standout colours) and lengths. You can also find different cuts, styles, and details. That's right...just because you want to save some money on your dress doesn't mean you have to sacrifice what you want.

bridesmaid dresses guaranteed to wow

Weddings, weddings, weddings. It seems that my life lately is all weddings all the time. Either I am attending one or I am in the midst of planning for an upcoming wedding. Many of my friends (or my husbands friends) are tying the knot either this summer or next. That means dresses are always on my mind. Sound familiar? Maybe your life also seems to be wedding focused these days. It could be that your own wedding is in the not so distant future or perhaps you will be a bridesmaid sometime soon. If so, be sure to look into cheap bridesmaid dresses. Just because the day is special doesn't mean you need to drain your bank account to look good.

Weddings are a special time for all involved. Now that the weather is warm and sunny (most of the time), more and more weddings are taking place. I can personally attest to this! More recently, the majority of my weekends have been spent at weddings. Whether you are the bride to be, a wedding guest, or a member of the bridal party...the dress you choose matters. It is a special day, after all. That means putting on a dress that dazzles and strutting your stuff. If your budget is a concern, breathe easy. You don't need to sacrifice incredible fashion forward style. Simply look at all of your options. For instance, you can find beautiful wholesale wedding dresses online. Additionally, you can also find the ultimate dress if you are attending the festivities. Whatever you need for the event, it certainly won't take long for you to choose the perfect gown.

find a fabulous homecoming dress

A great dress goes a long way. It can take you from special event to special event...and boost your confidence in the process. Though there are millions of dresses in the world (in stores and online) the only ones that really matter are the ones that make you feel good. Sometimes, it's the fit or cut of the dress that makes you feel good. Other times, it comes down to details like ruffles, sequins, or lace. It really depends on the event - and of course, your mood at the time. If you are looking for a special event dress that makes your confidence soar, consider a short sexy homecoming dress. With the summer temperatures on the rise, a shorter length will make you feel ultra comfortable. Plus the dramatic designs can help you feel fabulous, wherever you wear it.
