My Favorite Wedding Party + A $25 Target Gift Card Giveaway!!!

**This post is sponsored by Target but all opinions and views are my own**

Hello my loves!! I hope you all have been doing well. I know I haven't blogged in a month of Sundays (literally)but I've been busy being super duper pregnant. I couldn't however pass up on another opportunity to team up with my favorite retailer for Part II of their 'Be Yourself, Together' campaign.   Weddings seem to be taking over my social media time lines lately and I'm loving every second of it. I adore looking at the gorgeous gowns, the beautiful wedding parties, and of course the touch of creativity that each couple adds to their special day.   My absolute favorite part of these special gatherings, however, has to be the Honeymoon. During this time, the bride and groom get to enjoy each others company and bask in the glory of being newlyweds. As I was browsing through my local store the other day, I spotted some gorgeously sexy pieces from the Gilligan & O'Malley bridal collection that would make great gifts for any Bride-to-be and/or Groom-to-be for that matter.   Pair the aforementioned scrumptious pieces with the following items from Target's Wedding Catalog and you have satisfied the bride who loves to serve homemade, gourmet meals on fancy Threshold dinnerware...   as well as the groom who loves to mix up signature cocktails using his OXO Cocktail Shaker...
while waltzing around wrapped in Fieldcrest Luxury towels... #TargetWedding offers such great gifts for both bride and groom. So if you're tying the knot in the upcoming future or even if you know a couple who will be, please make sure to sign up using Target's Wedding Registry for the best selection of bridal gifts and goodies.   And now for the best part of this post....   I'm giving away ONE $25 Target gift card to one of my lovely readers.    All you need to do is visit the Target Wedding Catalog and tell me which product you would choose as the perfect gift for newlyweds to use during their honeymoon and leave a comment as to why the chosen product is your favorite. A winner will be chosen Friday, November 15, 2013.   a Rafflecopter giveaway Good luck and Happy shopping!! Thanks so much for continuing to visit! XOXOXOXOXO

My Wedding Dress...

You know, up until about 8 months ago I really wasn't a huge skirt and/or dress type of gal!

Then I did this post.  That's when it hit me that my legs were really not as chicken little as I had imagined them to be. In fact, I was quite enamored with how sweet and sophisticated the skirt made me feel. 

Back in high school, I of course was into mini skirts but that's only because the boys liked them. If it were up to me I would've been perfectly fine wearing jeans and the newest sneaker to school. 

Would you ever have guessed that I was a huge tomboy? I had more sports jerseys and athletic sneakers than a mens basketball team. And it didn't help that I worked at the newest sneaker store in the mall back then.

Fast forward to now and you can't keep me away from skirts and dresses.

Like this one.... 

I wore this dress to a wedding a couple of weeks back.

I was on the fence for the longest about what to wear to a fall wedding. Then I spotted this lovely in the clearance section at Target. 

The pattern as well as the color scheme had me at hello!

I absolutely had to have it!

It was part of the Kirna Zabete line that was only there for a limited time. There were some really gorgeous pieces in that collection, most of which were a little too expensive for my 'thrifty and shameless' pockets. I'm so grateful that Target marks their items down because that gives shoppers like me a chance to partake in pieces that I otherwise would not be able to afford.  

This is one of those pieces that can be worn over and over again because of its classic shape and neutral color palette. I'm actually really glad that I chose this dress in particular because it gave me the chance to pull out some accessories that I had forgotten about...

This hat I found on clearance at Forever 21...

This pink chain necklace...

And these floral stockings that I absolutely love!

Not only am I into dresses and all things dainty nowadays, but I'm also thinking that a beautiful wedding wouldn't be so bad either.

If only just to wear the dress!

Before I go, I want to remind you to enter my very first giveaway. You can read here for details!

Until next time.
