Affordable Wedding & Evening Gowns

Beautiful Ever-Pretty black gown.

Affordable Wedding dresses can be found on Ever Pretty website!

Amidst of being in the middle of pandemic and weddings getting cancelled left and right, we women did not loose our desire to dress up and feel like fairy tale princesses and elegant ladies. However, with everything that is happening in the world I think it is important to be able to allocate your spending budget wisely. Shelling out thousands of dollars on fashion items might not be something we want to do right now.

When I saw Ever-Pretty collections, I couldn’t believe how cheaply priced their dresses are and was curious about the quality. Browsing through the website, I picked an exquisitely decadent velvet sequin evening gown and a tulle wedding dress with delicate silver embroidery and sequins…

When they arrived, I could’t believe that these gorgeous dresses were both around $50! So here I am sharing with you my latest find - Ever-pretty website with dresses for a wedding, prom or a Bridgerton inspired party (oh, I would so attend that!)

Taking these pictures during snowstorm in New York was a bit challenging, but I love how wonderful they came out. This black velvet dress makes me look tall and regal and the silhouette of the dress is quite modest, which I honestly like for a change (cannot always show cleavage, can I?!) It is very well done and looks expensive. It reminded me of the show Reign, which I know was terribly historically inaccurate, but had some seriously amazing fashions!

I was initially planning to shoot the white dress somewhere in the green field as it has this beautiful fairy romantic look, thanks to silvery embroidery and ruffled butterfly-sleeves, but NYC was AGAIN hit with the snow, so I braced myself, put my hair up and imagined I am attending an off-season ball at Bridgertons’ estate. If you follow me and my blog for a while, you know that I LOVE imagining I am from different eras or stepped out from a novel/show. This look definitely gave me a Regency era vibe and I fell in love with it.

Go ahead and take a look at what Ever Pretty has to offer! I have a very special surprise for you…

Postcards from New York with SHEIN.

Sometimes I love experimenting with editing, and today I have created a NYC vintage-postcards' style little lookbook for Shein. The photo-cards are warm, summery and give me this tangible nostalgic feeling. It reminds me of old love letters, vintage maps and Lana Del Rey's melancholic songs.  Let me know if you would like me to create an editing tutorial for you, guys!

For my Look number 1 I wore this stylish Shein dress. I was surprised how well-made and fine this dress is for its price! The dress is very easy to wash, and very easy to style, so I think it is really perfect for college girls, and for school. I wore it with my Levi's denim jacket and Buscemi sneakers.

Best off-the-shoulder styles at WALTER BAKER.

I have been a loyal Walter Baker fan for years, and as you have probably noticed, I often wear pieces by this NYC designer. I call him The King of off-the-shoulder as no other brand has such a great variety of tops and dresses in this style.

The weather in New York has been a little bit chilly, but I still wanted to wear this beautiful floral dress. It was easy to style it with some high boots and a warm coat, but I am looking forward to wear this piece in summer with some sandals and a straw hat! At the end of this post I have linked not only my dress, but other gorgeous off-the-shoulder items from Walter Baker's new collection.

DressLink Review

Girls, I think I have found the most perfect home / casual 'doing groceries' outfit ever! I didn't expect much when DressLink have sent me this Milan Fashion grey set, but from the moment I put it on, I can't stop wearing it! It is extremely soft on the inside, and it makes me feel like I am wearing a warm cloud. The set is comfortable and looks so stylish that I wear it even out when I need to get groceries or meet up with a friend for a quick coffee break.

This set comes in 4 different colours, and it is just $18! I have also linked other casual attires I found on DressLink for you at the end of this post.
