Wedding Vibes.

This weekend, I was so honored to share in celebrating the wedding of two great people, Nelson and Sherri, who I met through my boyfriend. Being Armenian, most of the weddings I've been to have been Armenian, so I was very thrilled to be able to see the different cultural side of a Chinese wedding. Everything was so beautiful and the food was so good.

Since it wasn't a typical Armenian wedding, I wanted to take a bit of a risk with my dress. I had been eyeing this dress from Lioness for so long, but every time I tried to buy it, it was always sold out! So you can imagine my surprise and excitement when I saw the exact same design at...you ready?...Forever 21! It was in a color I don't usually wear, but I'm all about taking risks in my wardrobe and I think it paid off.

I put this whole look together from head to toe for under $100. The dress from Forever 21 was $30, the choker necklace is from Burlington for $3, which is very similar to this necklace by Jules Smith, my heels are from H&M at $30, and my rings are combinations of baubles I picked up in various stores.

I accentuated my dress with gold details in my look from my necklace to my rings to my nails. P.S. I'm obsessing over my nail color, it's Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Terra-Coppa.

And what's better to match me in this dress than my handsome man.

Remember that the devil's in the details...shoes, timepiece, and all.

Spring Stripes and Ruffles.

Spring is in full effect y'all, and I'm rocking the season's biggest hits in one look...stripes and ruffled sleeves!

This weekend my boyfriend's niece turned 4 and celebrate with a Hello Kitty themed birthday, which was so adorable! It was a bright, slightly chilly Spring afternoon so I decided to bust out this gorgeous top I found from the Who What Wear line at Target. Stripes are really in style this season so I knew I found a fashion winner in this shirt, and the sleeves were an added bonus. The sleeves are ruffled, which makes the top look so chic and fashion forward. I could totally see a Parisian girl wearing this as a part of her street style. Or maybe a fashion editor at Vogue who would pair it with a pencil skirt. Can't you?

There was a really cute balloon artist at the party, and I couldn't help but ask him for a pretty pink Hello Kitty balloon bow for myself! I think I was more excited about it than the kids were. I actually may have cut in front a couple of kids to get it :P

I paired the top with jeans and a really simple strappy gray kitten keel shoe. This simple strappy shoe style is really hot for Spring. I found this pair at H&M and it also comes in white and black!

Clean Lines.

I'm always on the lookout for the newest nail trends, because let's face it...they don't change that often! I'm not that big of a risk taker on nail shapes because I'm obsessed with my own squoval shape, but new designs are always on my radar.

This season, I'm obsessed with clean lines on nails. Letting your natural nail shine through alongside a cute spring color makes your nail design look really modern and cool. I love the geometric and architectural lines in this look by Buff and Tweeze...

And I'm head over heels for these tiny shapes traced onto nails by Olive and June...

This was my attempt at creating this look. I used masking tape and French tip tape to create the clean lines and painted over them. I removed them when the nail polish was completely dry...

Whether its at a salon or a DIY at home, this look is sure to keep you ahead of the trends and is a perfect spring look!

Ladies Lunching.

For my best friend Natalie's birthday this year, she decided to throw a cute little lunch for us girls and it was so adorable! No detail was too small for her beautiful day, from the food to our place cards...everything was perfect.

Happy Birthday Natalie!

After having our drinks and lunch, we each painted our own pumpkins. Overwhelmed by the cuteness? Yeah so were we!
