Popjulia Woven Straw Beach Shoulder Bag

I have a new straw bag (Product ID: 429408) from Popjulia!  This one is so on trend for this summer season! The round shape is especially perfect for what is hot right now!  I think the size is great for when you want to carry a lot.  This will even be a good beach bag.  I think it will even hold a small towel, but it will for sure hold all the other essentials, like sunscreen, a book, etc.

 I love how it holds so much!  This bag has a zipper along the top to help keep things secure.  The zipper has a slight gap at either end.  There is one un-zippered pouch on the inside of bag.  

I thought the straw bag went very well with my outfit of the day.  The natural colors makes it a great choice to go with lots of summers styles.

Popjulia has lots of other bags options, as well as cute clothing! Use 38%off Code : PJSNS38

Red Lace Lingerie Set

Hello, and happy Tuesday!  For tonight's post, I am doing something different from my regular outfit of the day posts.  Once in a while I like to share a nice lingerie piece I have discovered.  This item can be found on Amazon.

I ordered this red lingerie set from Cchui in a size small.  The first is perfect!  Not all lingerie sets like this are comfortable, so I was very happy to find out this one is.  I was especially happy to find that the fit in the cup area is great.  A lot of the time when I purchase bras and other lingerie it is too loose in that area.  The lace is soft, and stretchy, and there is a hook closure on the back.

The floral lace is beautiful, and I also like the lace-up feature in the back.  The straps are adjustable, as well as the straps for attaching to the stockings.

The set comes in the colors black, white and purple, as well.  This set comes with matching thong underwear, and is only $16.49.

Shein Pink Floral Ruffle Dress

Happy Sunday, everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  I spent this Sunday at a flea market with my family.  We found a few cool items, each.  I am enjoying going to flea markets for a change instead of our usual thrift stores.  You really never know what you will find there!

 

 Now, let's talk about my OOTD!

My favorite thing about this dress is the color, and the beautiful print! I like dresses that come with a belt, as this one does.  

The dress has an elastic waist, and neckline, so you just slip it over your head.

I am wearing a size medium.  The fit is very good, though I think a large may have been an even better choice for a little more comfort.  The elastic in the arms is just a little tight.

If you have not heard of Shein before, I suggest you check them out.  They really do have some great items.  There are so many pieces, you can spend hours just going through them all.  There are so many trendy, and beautiful pieces!

Happy National Dance Day!

Happy National Dance Day!

I decided to share these photos that I had taken in California's Death Valley.  It is such an amazing location to model, especially for belly dance.  I had been dreaming of doing a photo shoot there for a long time, so I am thrilled I had the chance.

The costume I am wearing is one I put together myself.  The skirt is hand sewn by me, and the top and belt were purchased.  I had made many of my own dance costumes. 

 

Lovelywholesale Tropical Print Dress

I am so happy with this gorgeous tropical print dress from Lovelywholesale!  Of all the items I have received from them, this is my favorite.  This is the perfect print for summer!  I can just picture taking this with me on a tropical island vacation.  The bright orange is so beautiful!

I am wearing a size medium.  The fit is very comfortable.  The dress was a little long for me, so I ended up trimming about three inches from the bottom.  I am 5'2", by the way.  I also ended up sewing up the slit in the front, just to make it a little more comfortable for me, personally.  The deep V neckline would also be easy to sew up a little shorter, if desired, or to just pin higher with a nice brooch.

The dress comes with a matching belt.  I like it when dresses come with a belt, that is always a nice touch!

Noracora Black Lace Blouse

I'm wearing this beautiful black lace blouse (Product ID: BLAIC4D5) from door Noracora in a size extra large.  I'm not sure what is up with the whole sizing, but that's the size that works for me.  I would suggest going up to an XXL, if you are my same size, for it to be even more comfortable in the arms.  

The top pulls on over your head and has a few buttons at the back of the neck to secure. 

I think this is going to be a really cute blouse for fall Winter and maybe even cooler days in Spring.  I especially love all of the details at the neck including the pearls. 

Pearls are such a huge trend right now, and I have also become such a fan of them this year.  This blouse went perfectly with the skirt that I already had. I'm looking for to styling it with lots of other skirts and pants in the future. 

Noracora Lace Midi Dress

Today I am reviewing this relate well made and beautiful dress by Noracora. I'm wearing a size small in the fit is perfect. This really reminds me of a Zimmerman item.  

The dress zips up the back. It also has a small bit of elastic around the bottom of the sleeves. The lining is silky and thin. If I would change anything about this dress it would be to make the lining a little longer.   I am very happy with the quality of this dress. This is an item I intend to have in my wardrobe for many years to come.  It's just so beautiful and well made that I think it makes it a great choice for many Spring and summer events!

I decided to do with pearl accessories to complete this look. I think pearls are such classics when it comes to jewelry and hair accessories.

Lovelywholesale Off The Shoulder Tassel Cover-up Set

I am wearing a size medium in this Lovelywholesale Off The Shoulder Tassel Cover-up Set.  The fit is perfect, other than being a little long.  It will be very easy to trip a little off the bottom of the tassels, which is probably what I am going to do.  I love fringe and tassels, so this is a very fun cover-up set for me!

The fabric is so soft and comfortable, not scratchy at all.  The waist has a nice, wide elastic band. 

I love the avocado green color of this set, but it also comes in purple, and white.  I think it looks great in all the available colors!

Lovelywholesale has a lot of other cover-ups that are similar to this one, in different cuts and shapes.  I am very happy with the three items I received from them!

This set is just $14.99, which I think it a very afforable option for a summer, beach cover-up!

Metallic Floral dress

I spent my Sunday relaxing, for the most part.  I worked a little on creating a space to film in my "pink room". 

I bought this dress years ago at a Goodwill store.  I was attracted to the unique cut and details of the dress.  

The large hat I am wearing is one I bought on sale from Roses.  I also have the same style hat in black, and one with a pink trim.

  

Noracora Blue and White Print Dress

I love the print of this blue and white dress from Noracora.  I especially love the blue peacocks.  They are such a beautiful bird!  I wore the dress for the first time today and I received so many compliments on it!

I know that blue and white print fabric similar to this seemed to be very on trend this year.  At first I was worried that the fabric would be see through but I wore today with no problem.  You can always add a slip for added comfort, though.  The fabric is thin but it has an almost buttery feel to it.  The dress has in elastic waistband and a very thin belt attached.  The belt is a blue string with tassels attached to both ends.  

Especially considering how many compliments I received on this dress I think it is definitely worth the price at under $30.00!  I wore it today on what was a very hot and sticky day, and I was very comfortable in the dress, especially considering the weather.

Noracora Blue Floral Print Dress

For today's post I'm wearing this beautiful blue floral print dress from Noracora.  I'm wearing a size medium and the fit is very good.  The dress zips up the back and the fabric is thin but not see-through.  It is somewhat silky and it kind of reminds me of lining fabric. 

 The dress also has pockets which I think is a cool touch. I know there are a lot of women that love a dress with pockets, if that's you then this is a great choice. 

I love the blue and pink flowers that are a part of the print on this dress. It is the perfect sprinf and summer dress!  The shade of blue in the background it so pretty, too!

I will be reviewing several other Noracora dresses in the upcoming week.  I had never heard of the Noracora brand before but I am very pleased with their products. They have lots of other clothing options, not only dresses, as well as accessories.

LovelyWholesale Red and Black Floral Maxi Dress

For today's post, I am wearing this red and black floral maxi dress from Lovelywholesale.

I am wearing a size medium.  The fit is perfect, other than the length.  I am 5'2", and I took about 5 or 6 inches off the bottom of this dress and hemmed it.  I am also still wearing it with heels, so keep that in mind if you are my height or any shorter.

The fabric is stretchy, and you just pull the dress on, from top or bottom.  The sleeves have elastic, and that could be a little looser for comfort.  

I decided to add red accessories to complete the look for this outfit. I think the dress looks great on it's own, as well.  I think adding a black or red belt would also be a nice touch.  I love dresses like this.  They are so easy to wear and look nice, with little effort. 

At only $15.49, this dress is a great deal! It also comes in a sunflower print, which is just as pretty as this print!

Pink Tropical Print Blouse

I love the lace skirt I am wearing because it goes with so much in my wardrobe.  I have not worn it as much lately, though, because I think it is especially perfect for spring.  Lately, it's been so hot that pretty much anything I put on feels sticky, and miserable.

It is going to feel like 111 degrees this Friday here in Virginia, but things will be cooling down next week.  I am very much looking forward to that!

My implant is still bothering me.  I keep biting my cheek, so I finally called to make an appointment to see if something can be done to fix it.  It is going to be a while until I get seen, though.  

I just hope I ever get this tooth thing over with!

 

Green Nautical Print Dress

I like these nautical print dresses.  This is one of about 6 or 7 print dresses I bought, they were all the same halter type that I purchased from Falles while still living in California.  I think they were all only about $2.99 each.  

 I like shopping at Falles but unfortunately all of their stores in Virginia closed this year. 

I thought the background of this photo is so pretty with all of the flowers.  It's always fun to take a photo in a place like this when given the opportunity.
