It’s officially March and are warmest days are ahead of us(here in the US) and I am so excited to wear my light and lovely makeup looks! From nudes to brights to pastels, warm weather makeup looks are my absolute favorites! I found so many great inspirational looks (neutral eye and bright lip combo is my fav!) while searching Pinterest today and here are some of my favorites!
Wedding season is upon us and the invites should be arriving in your mail boxes around this time. The dreaded question is always “what do I wear to a summer wedding?” You want to look great without taking away from the bride, that’s the goal. You want something that can easily transition from day to evening without being overdressed. A lot of summer weddings are outdoors so that brings a sense of “casual” that you just don’t have during other seasons, and that is great to work with when deciding on an outfit.
Let’s start with some basics
Do
* Wear sleeveless, you won’t overheat
*wear something sexy, yet tasteful
*wear pretty polka dots, fun florals and summer colors like greens, peaches, yellows and pinks.
*keep a wrap or pashmina in the car for transition to evening
Don’t
*wear anything too low cut
*wear white, unless the bride specifies
*wear a tight dress, fitted is different from tight. If you wouldn’t wear it in front of grandma, don’t wear it to a wedding.
P.S. heels are totally acceptable, even if you have to practice walking in grass first!
Skirts and tops always work for weddings but I prefer dresses, I think a dress, even a “casual” style brings a sense of grace to your look and appears a bit more polished. Also, when you involve separates you basically increase the chance for disaster with each piece you add, and so much more thought has to go into it. 1 piece is easier than 2, it’s as simple as that.

Rompers are a great go to outfit for Summer, they are easy to wear and super comfortable as well. The best thing about rompers is they are versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on how you feel. You can wear flip flops, sandals, wedges and heels with them. On trend for Summer, the romper is a must have item!

I love Peach and off white together, it’s a combo that can never go wrong. It’s also a great way to try color without stepping too far out of your comfort zone . Other wearing options…..Cream can be worn with pretty much any other color from black to red and everything in between. Peach looks great with other pastels*mint shown below and neutrals. Peach also looks stunning on olive and dark skin tones and while most fair skinned fashionistas have to be weary of pinks and reds, peach is very complimentary to lighter skin tones as well. Here are some cute looks to shop. Peach 3/4 elasticized sleeve dress with matching belt($36) available at Lulu’s.
