Tall ships, tall shoes

Back in June the hubby and I headed out to Richmond to see the tallships!

They were pretty cool, but I’ll admit I was really only going for my hubby and the weather was brutally hot! There was a lot of walking involved and I was definitely regretting the tall wedges I decided to wear! The dress however was breezy and I felt very cute in it. Its very rare that I find a dress from H&M that actually fits me – so I was pretty thrilled with this! It looks whiter in the photos, but it was actually a light tan/beige color.

Dress by H&M , wedges Fioni, purse 50 cents at a secondhand store!

While I did feel extremely cute, I did feel extremely overdressed looking at Tallships!

When in doubt

"When in doubt, wear red." - Billy Blass

I have been wearing red lipstick since I was a teenager. At first it started as this strange, foreign concept. Lipstick was for special occasions - dances, graduations.... but one day I just wore it for the heck of it and was inundated with compliments! And if I'm a sucker for anything, it's compliments. The more I wore it, the more I loved it! Not only did it make my teeth look whiter, but it made me feel beautiful and confident. Which, let's face it - is the core to any style or fashion - do you feel gorgeous in it? Then it's a win!

But red is definitely not only for lips. And since it’s summer, I’d love to showcase some red summer items that I think are fun and reasonably priced! Click on the image if you’re interested in seeing where to buy it!
