Femme Luxe Spring Dresses


For today's post, I have four super glamorous dresses - all from the Femme Luxe* website. Spring is here, and these dresses are going to be perfect for spring and summer vacations, nights out, and more.  I am particularly loving today's haul of gorgeous dresses; they are all super flattering and versatile.  In the winter, I usually wear a lot of leggings and sweaters, so I am so happy that it is now dress up season again, here, in Virginia.
 
There is a lot of green in today's post, but that is just a coincidence. It is just a coincidence, but green is actually a really fabulous and conversational color. It is great for fall (and maybe even winter), but it can also be perfect for spring and summer, if you add some beautiful pinks, reds, yellows, and bright, sunny, summer floral colors.  I have always especially loved the color combination of pink and green; I think they go fabulously together.


First of all, we have this "army green," or "olive drab green," rouched dress. It is such a beautiful color! And it sure is unique - especially for this style of dress. It is in my favorite, original style, which I think is very flattering. This style also makes it great for packing, since it does not seem to show wrinkles nearly as badly as some fabrics. The solid color makes this fabulous for wearing lots of different accessories with it, and dressing it up or down. This dress is in a Size UK6. It fits great on me, except that it is a little bit too loose in the bust, but that is fine. It kind of drapes like a cowl neck on me, but if you have a larger bust it would fit you more like a straight across neck line.  The straps on this dress are not adjustable, but they are stretchy, so I think that helps in fitting most sizes.




Next up, we have this interesting, white dress that is definitely great for a summer vacation. It was nice to find the short version of the white midi dress from Femme luxe that is similar to this. This one is in a Size 6. It is snug, but I think that is the way it's supposed to be, and it still fits me very well, because it is strapless. It is nice, because does not fall down when I am wearing it. This dress does not have any zippers; you can just pull it on over your head, or step into it, because the fabric is super stretchy and comfortable.  I think this dress would be cute to wear with sneakers, flip-flops, or heels - for dinner out or clubbing.  The great thing about this dress is that it does not appear to be see-through, but I would always, of course, wear with nude underwear, just in case.





This darker, green dress has a beautiful surprise in the back; it has two layers of gold chain . I think this would also be a lovely date night dress because of that. This one is also in a Size UK6. The fit is fabulous; the fabric is super stretchy and comfortable. This is another dress you can either just pull over your head or step into.  This is another dress that does not have adjustable straps, but it is also so stretchy making it able to fit most people anywhere near this size.  I was really happy to see that the chain hangs perfectly across the back, and not too loose or tight on me, which is sometimes the case with designs like this.  This is a great take on the little black dress!




Last and certainly not least, we have this dress in a lighter shade of green, that has ruching on all sides, and even in the bra cups. This does have adjustable straps, and also a zipper up the back. The fabric is more like a soft knit, and I really adore this dress, because I think it is so gorgeous and flattering, and not quite like anything else I already had in my wardrobe! This one is also in a Size UK6, and the fit is fabulous. I especially love how it does not create a gap at the bust on me. My bra size is 32B, so, if you do not have a larger bra cup size, this dress might not be a great option for you, but for those of us with smaller bra cup sizes - girls, this dress is especially great.  I love this dress so much! And I would like to see it in several other colors for my wardrobe.

This is definitely one of my favorite Femme Luxe dress hauls, but I would love to know what your favorite piece is from today; please let me know in the comments section below.

Noracora Spring Dresses


 For today's post, I have four lovely bohemian dresses (all from Noracora*) that I was kindly sent for review.

First of all, we'll start off with this very long, tropical print T-shirt maxi dress. This one is so soft and stretchy! It's going to be perfect for summer time. It would be cute to wear while going out, but also for lounging around the house. I could totally picture taking this on a nice beach vacation. I'm wearing everything in today's post in a size Small, for reference. This dress is a little bit too long on me, but it has a raw hem, so it would be very easy to just cut off a few inches to make it the perfect length for whoever is going  to wear it.




Next, we have this beautiful lilac or purple print dress with the nice bell sleeves. This does not have any zippers or buttons, or anything like that, and the fabric does not stretch, but it is made in a very loose and flowing style, so it is easy to just pull on over your head. The fabric is very lightweight, as if it were intended for use as a lining for other garments, but it does not seem to be transparent, so I do not think that wearing anything, such as a slip, underneath this, would ever be necessary .



Here we have this red, floral print dress that is also made in a very flowing, oversized style. This one is so comfortable that it could be a great house dress, but it also looks fabulous enough to wear out and about. You could cinch it in at the waist with a belt, if you wanted to change up the look, and add more definition to the waist, but I am very happy with it just the way it is. This one also has no zippers or buttons; you just put it on over your head. It is made of a very lightweight fabric - the same as the other  lining type of fabric I mentioned above, making this a great option for travel, since it weighs very little.


Last, but at least, we have this kind of natural colored, abstract design, sleepless dress. This one also has no zippers or buttons, and the fabric has no stretch, but it is made loosely enough for me to put it on by pulling it over my head. The fabric is also the same as the fabric used to make the last two dresses.  I think everything in today's collection would be fabulous for travel, including this dress.

Femme Luxe Dresses


With Spring just a right around the corner, I have another Femme Luxe fashion haul*; this time, I have three beautiful dresses that will be perfect for spring and summer, so something a little different than the usual women's loungewear sets. We're going to be heading to the beach soon, and I would love to wear these but, unfortunately, it's still going to be a little too cold where we're going, so these will have to wait a little bit longer.   I am looking forward to warmer weather, when I can get out of my leggings and sweaters, and wear beautiful dresses like these again. I do love sweaters and things like that, but dressing for warm weather is just so much easier, and, of course, when you do travel, it is easier to pack more, because you're clothing is that much skimpier.   Bringing a beautiful dress along, as well as a few different colors, makes planning planning outfits for a trip so easy!   I think the orange dress is going to be so much fun to wear in the summer! And I can just picture wearing this on a fabulous summer vacation.


First of all, we have what I think may be my favorite of today's hall, and it is this orange, ruched dress, and it is in  a size UK 6, and the fit is perfect?
 It has straps on the shoulders that you can easily adjust, and they just tie however you like them. I love that, because it makes this so convenient a customizable! So this dress has ruching around the front, and then, on the back, it is just plain and smooth. The fabric is super stretchy, and and so very comfortable!   
 You know I have mentioned so many times before how I loved a good ruched dress from Femme Luxe, and Femme Luxe never disappoints with their stunning, ruched dresses in a whole myriad of colors, as well as different styles and lengths. 
This one is such a great length on me too! I am very happy with where the lower hem comes down to when I'm standing up, and I also like how it is straight across at the bust line, making this a little bit different from some of the dresses that I already have in my wardrobe.   This dress also has a little bit of lace at the top, and a little bit of ruching in just the right places, that makes it such an elegant and flattering cut and style of dress!




Next up, we have another favorite of mine, and it is this beautiful, stretchy, red satin dress, also in a size UK 6.  It fits me like a glove, and this dress has just a couple straps, and it also has a zipper up the back. This is so flattering! And it is something that would be beautiful to wear for a date night, and many other occasions.   I really do feel as if I look very nice in this dress, and it is definitely my favorite kind of style to take with me on trips, because I have said many times before that this is something that you could change up with different accessories; it is like a blank palette for wearing with my gold and/or silver jewelry and accessories, et cetera.   The shade of red of this dress is just absolutely gorgeous, as well! I do not wear red very often, for some reason, but I probably should, because I really do love the way it looks, and I like the way I look in red as well.   For this look I decided to go with some classic rhinestone jewelry. The red is a bold take on the classic little black dress.




And, lastly, we have this velvet dress, here. There are ties behind the back, and also around the neck. The one is also in a size UK 6, and the fit is perfect.  I really love how stretchy soft and comfortable this one is, as well.   The color is beautiful, and, because this is real, I suppose that this is something that you could wear all year round, although, of course, it is on the skimpy side, but perhaps you could wear this with a nice, long coat or cardigan over it.   Another thing that is great about this one, is that there are no zippers or anything like that, so it is very easy to get the fit you want by adjusting the straps, and, also, the fabric is easy to adjust because it is so stretchy!   This darker red shade also makes me think of the fall and winter seasons.

Femme Luxe Spring Dress Haul

For today's post I have another Femme Luxe* fashion haul.  This time it's all beautiful dresses dresses just in time for Spring, which is hopefully right around the corner.  
I have been doing lots of knit wear hauls from Femme Luxe and other companies, so it was nice to have a little less to wear for a change and look forward to warmer weather.  
It seems like we've had snow on the ground for over a week now is a week now, so planning beautiful spring and summer outfits has been a fun thing to do. 
Everything in today's post is a solid color. I am a huge fan of prints, but sometimes it's nice to have something that is just a solid color because they really do make a great blank canvas for adding different jewelry and accessories too.  
It really does seem like the sky is the limit with those types of items and they are also very flattering, as well, because you don't have to worry about the right stripes or the size of floral patterns, et cetera.

This first dress is going to be lovely for spring and summer. It is a very snug fitting white ruched strapless dress and is it in a size UK 6.  The fit is great, and this is definitely form fitting and super sexy.  
The ruched knit dresses from Femme Luxe are definitely a big favorite of mine since they are just such versatile and comfortable pieces. 
They look fabulous on their own but also work as a blank canvas to add all kinds of different jewelry and accessories.  I like that this dress stays in place because it's so fitted and it has a little bit of extra elastic at the top to keep things nice and secure, as well. 
I also like that the ruching is even all the way around. I always think that rushing is very flattering.  
For spring and summer I think the little white dress is a great warm weather take on the little black dress.




Another one that is very pretty for spring and summer is this pastel pink spaghetti strapped dress which also has ruching and is also in a size UK 6.  
This dress is shorter than the white midi dress in today's haul.  If you're looking to show off your legs this is definitely a great option. I'm only 5' 2 so if you're taller this will be showing even more leg, of course. 
The fabric of this dress was just so soft, stretchy and comfortable.  
For this dress I wore it with a nude bra, so I would suggest a nude underwear for this and the white one, of course. 




I am a fan of this darker color.  I think that this green ruched dress would be great for all year along.
This one is also in a size UK 6.  The fit is super comfortable the fabric is so slinky and stretchy. 
This dress ties behind the neck, so you can somewhat adjust how deep you want to be neck to be, which I find really cool.  
I think this would be a very lovely dress to wear out for dinner and and hopefully I'll have some occasions to wear this out in about very soon.  
This dress is on the longer side.  I think this is what I've described as a middle length or perhaps a little bit longer on me because I am only 5' 2" tall, after all.  
I think especially gold accessories would look very fabulous with this emerald green dress perhaps something like a gold statement necklace would really make the color stand out.




And lastly, we have this white dress that hooks up the front and has long sleeves.  This is also in a size UK 6.
I found this to be a little bit larger in the hip area on me, but I suppose I could run a stitch down the side if I wanted to take it in a bit.  
The fabric does not really have any stretch and the way you get this dress on and off is to hook and unhook all of them down the front of the dress.  The shoulders have shoulder pads.  The sleeves were a little bit long on me but that is okay because I just scrunched them up and you can also fold them under.

Femme Luxe Haul

I have another Femme Luxe fashion haul* post today.  Things are much cooler here in Virginia these days, so a few of the items in today's haul are great for cold weather.   
I cannot believe that 2021 is almost over and as usual, there were things I wanted to do to prep for the holidays and I haven't gotten around to it, but how about you guys?   We started the process pulling out our Christmas decorations a little late this year but we're still slowly working on it.  One thing we like to do is change out our dishes to our seasonal ones. It's always fun to have a particular theme for the particular season and Vaughan and I are both very much into dinner dinnerware and glassware.

This first item I'm wearing is in a size small and it is this green knit sweater that's rather long like a tunic length, almost like a dress except that it has these really high slits on each side, so I decided to wear them with a pair of high waisted leggings that I already owned, but this could also look great with something like ripped jeans for women.  The green is refreshing color to wear during the fall and winter if you're getting tired of all of the dark tones and neutrals. 
The knit is soft and comfortable and it's not super thick option.  If you wanted to make it a little bit warmer, I think this would be a great one to wear with a turtleneck or maybe a thermal underneath.  
This is something that I would wear for lounging around the house or out and about.  
The fit of this top is oversized, I would say, which I know is still very popular in fashion these days. 
I guess because there's just nothing much as comfortable and comfortable and easy to wear then a relaxed fit knit item.





I'm wearing this black ruched dress in a size UK 6, and it's rather a snug fit but I think that's more of a preference, perhaps. 
This dress has the ruching detail in the front so you can cinch it shorter if you want and tie it into a bow or leave it as long as it goes. 
The fabric is not too thin and feels pretty substantial, it also does not seem to be transparent.  
You really can't go wrong with a classic little black dress, so if are are in the market for one, this could be a good option. 
The dress has a tighter neck at the top, there are no buttons or zippers, so the dress is just pulled on over your head, so keep that in mind if sizing can be an issue for you because this is totally just a stretch dress.  
As always a simple black dress is such a favorite of mine because there's so many ways to change up this look it would look just as great with heels as flats and you can wear any type of jewelry you want to belt hats scarves and other accessories to really make the look your own.




I'm wearing this green jogger set in a size UK 6. The fit is pretty good.  The waist of the jogger bottoms is a little bit more on the snug side,  but I was still able to get them up over my hips. 
The hoodie has double pockets on the front and it's nice and soft inside, as well as bottoms. 
The shade of green is lovely, especially for fall season. It reminds me of my favorite colors for that season.  
Some of my favorite jogger sets are from Femme Luxe, if you're in the market for that kind of casual wear in particular they are definitely a great place to check out they have so many great color options and cuts and styles.  This one is more like a classic jogger style.  
Sets like these are a favorite of mine to wear, especially around the house during the winter season like the weather we are in now.  There's just not much else out there that is as warm and comfortable as an nice jogger/lounge wear sets.  
I just added a black long sleeved T-shirt that I already had in my wardrobe so I was extra warm and comfortable for this look. Femme Luxe always has the best women's loungewear sets!
