SUMMER TREND - THE MAXI DRESS

Summer has finally arrived, and what better way to kick it off with other than fashion. Today, I'll share with you guys one of my staple pieces for summer, the maxi dress.

I purchased this dress about a month or two ago to wear at my cousin's wedding. The wedding was a spring themed wedding so I chose a spring themed dress. But after some time, I realised not only is this dress a spring dress, it can also be for the summer as well.

This dress is called " Roxberi Elle Keyhole Maxi Dress" and I got it in the colour hot pink. I purchased it on Nordstrom for $54.00 but it is currently on sale for $32.40 (not too bad) .  What I really love about this dress is the keyhole neckline. It's very different. Normally, when dresses have keyholes they can be found to the back of the dress. So by this being to front it definitely adds uniqueness to the dress. I love how flowy, light-weight and how voluminous it is as well ; perfect the hot summer days to come.
The ankle-baring asymmetrical hem adds an edginess to the dress also.

This dress can be worn during the day or night. At weddings, parties, dinners and more. It is perfect for any occasion.

But you guys know I could not wear such a beautiful dress without a few chic accessories. In the photo above, I wore a simple Michael Kors Watch, Forever 21 earrings and aviator sunglasses.

For shoes, I wore a pair of simple brown scrappy sandals from Forever21 so that I could be comfortable. This dress would look great with heels as well. Of your choice of course! If I had to wear heels with it I'd definitely wear nude ankle strap heels to retain a simple chic look.

Here are some maxi dresses that I'm loving right now:

THE ULTIMATE MAKEUP GUIDES - ILLUSTRATIONS

A few days ago, I came across these makeup guide illustrations and I had to share them with you guys! These are perfect for those who are beginners like myself and even for the pros. I find them to be quite helpful because they go through everything from  eyebrows, highlighting & contouring, blush, eye looks, lips, nail varnish, eye shape and different eyeliner techniques. 

I hope you guys find them as helpful as I did! xoxo
