look book: shirt, the dress

April 16, 2012

I love this sleeveless shirtdress. It's so classic and perfect for warmer weather. I had a three day weekend and Matthew and I had all sorts of fun, summer-like activities planned. We wanted to go to the beach, bike ride, and eat dinner while watching the sun set. The weather had slightly different plans though, so instead of a staycation weekend we got a lot of stuff done around the apartment. I couldn't help wearing this dress to dinner on Saturday night though, with my bright espadrilles. I also wore a sweater though so I wouldn't get too cold. I can only deal with so many "I told you so"s from Matthew! Oh, silly but sweet husband!

Kelly Ann did some spring cleaning around the blog this weeekend! Notice that it says Matthew and I got married last May? Yay! I've also added a FAQ page that I'll be updating over the next week. If you have any questions feel free to leave them below and I promise I'll get to them! 

I hope you all had a great weekend!! Happy Monday!

  51. Hi Melanie Liliana !

    Matthew uses a Nikon D7000 and I don't edit my photos too often (sometimes I do boost the color a bit). I'm not too experienced with Photoshop although I'd love to learn more!

  52. Hi Holly!

    My best advice is just to write about you love and get involved with the blogging community. There are so many amazing bloggers out there and they're a great support system. Feel free to email if you have any other questions :)

  53. Hi Abi!

    I would do a tutorial but this bun is so basic. My hair is so long that I just wrap it around 3 times and secure it with an elastic. I don't even have to use bobby pins since I don't have many layers. I did do a tutorial on a doughnut bun that works great for short-medium length hair. Here's the link: http://mlovesm.blogspot.com/2012/02/diy-doughnut-bun.html
