10 Reasons For a Black Maxi Dress










Dress: // Bag: Calvin Klein // Shoes: Nine West // Sunglasses: Fendi // Lipstick: Urban Decay
When talking about fashion trends that never go out of style – minimalism is definitely one of them. ย A sleek casual black dress lays the groundwork for this type of trend.ย The color ‘black’ is one of the common choices for the minimalist because it helps in creating a timeless look that you can repeat over an over. ย A minimal aesthetic is always refreshing – as are simple shapes and clean lines. ย For today’s post I chose one basic and functional fashion item that I love for the summer.ย Take a look below at all theย reasons for why having one (or two!)ย casual black long dresses in your closet is always a good idea! ย ย
TEN REASONS FOR A BLACK MAXI DRESS:
- DAYTIME TO NIGHTTIME – switch from nude to black heels and you are ready in less than a minute!
- MAXIMUM COMFORT – loose and light to wear
- ‘BLACK’ SLIMS YOU DOWN – the color black elongates and makes you appear thinner
- EASY TO DRESS IT UP – wrap a sparkly shawl around your shoulders or a jacket
- PERFECT FOR HOT WEATHER – allows your body to breathe during high temperatures
- NO NEED TO MATCH IT – toss it on, zero time required to put together an outfit
- FEMININE – maxi dresses are ladylike and flirty
- EASY MAINTENANCE – most are wrinkly free (super important!) & machine washable
- EFFORTLESS STYLE – casual yet trendy & sleek
- AFFORDABLE – available at any price range
Treat yourself to this minimalist essential, then skip the accessories and opt for a clean look. Remember that Less is More! Otherwise wear it with barely-there bracelets, necklaces, or earrings. And as usual, wear the dress with confidence! Feel free to share your thoughts, xo!
THE GINGHAM STYLE | ZARA
Hey beauties! ย Here is an ultra-stylish way to wear gingham. ย I oftenย stay away from this pattern but this blouse was too delicate, feminine & adorable to pass! ย And who else is loving the off-the-shoulder trend? ย This ZARA Gingham Blouseย combines it all: off the shoulders, puff-ball sleeves, and bow detail, making it all the more delicate. ย I must confess that I wear off-the-shouler topsย even when they are not in style, simply because I love how flattering they are for women. ย I have always been the person that wears certain trends even when they are not a ‘hot trend’ – and this is one of them. ย Also, I’ve noticed that the material of the blouse does not wrinkle too easily (so important!). ย I matched it with super basic white trousers. ย This look is perfect for a Sunday brunch with friends… I wore it to a birthday party. ย For the best chic look, pair this gingham blouse with navy, white or off-white pants. ย I hope everyone is having a lovely week! xx

ย With summer right around the corner, it is time to start checking out a few of theย essentials. ย Big straw hats are a huge trend right now AND they protect your skin from the sun (a must for avoiding future wrinkles). ย You can look super chic and protect your face at the same time – double win. ย When it comes to beach bags, I always prefer a neutral color so that it matches with any bathing suit color. ย Speaking of bathing suits… it is not always easy to find a one-piece that is cute, but here is a floral one-pieceย that I love!! ย Another accessory that adds a lot of style to your outfit while protecting your eyes from UV rays are sunglasses (here are two adorable pairs that I like a lot). ย And remember to wear sunscreen! ย (I usually wear any Neutrogena sunscreen product, I like Neutrogenaย because they are not greasy – which is important when applying it to yourย face). ย Hopefully this coming weekend there will be no rain so that I can go down to the beach! ย There is something so soothing about listening to the sound of the ocean waves. ย I linked the items from this post below, together with 8 other super cute beach bags, check them out!

A White, Coral & Ivory Summer Outfit





A White, Coral & Ivory Summer Outfit
Happy Saturday! This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but because of the shorter work week, I worked longer hours Tuesday – Friday & did not even make it to the gym! I missed my favorite zumba & boot-camp class! (That will get fixed this week).
The entire month of May has been quite busy, my cousins and a few friends flew in from out of town. This is one of the outfits that I wore during their time here. To create the look I paired a skirt & a top that I’ve had for a while. I usually wear the skirt with a sheer white sleeveless blouse (for a very delicate look), but I got bored with that, so I was trying to brighten the skirt up.
Why didn’t I think of this combination before is what I want to know!?! White + Coral + Ivory look fantastic together. To match the soft tone of the outfit I finished the look with nude/gold accesories…
What’s not to love about these neutral skirts?
