Quinceañera Magazine Expo Pt. 2

Hey There Amigas! 
As I mentioned in part 1 of this post, I attended the Quinceañera Magazine Expo this past Sunday, February 22nd. The show displayed countless stunning gowns, and the ones pictured above are from the Spring 2015 Disney Royal Ball Collection designed & produced by Ashdon Inc. 

From left to right are gowns inspired by:

Anna from Frozen
Princess Jasmine from Aladdin 
Pocahontas 
Rapunzel from Tangled
Snow White
and 
Mulan 

The 2015 Spring Collection also includes gowns inspired by Elsa from Frozen, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Belle from Beauty & The Beast, Cinderella, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, and Tiana from The Princess & The Frog.

All of the gowns in the collection were not modeled at the Expo, but you can find them here!

Also, if you live in the Midwest, make sure to check out My Quince World located at: 
4854 S. Pulaski Rd
Chicago, IL. 60632
They have the entire Spring 2015 Disney Royal Ball Collection available in store as well as a variety of other gorgeous gowns. 

This Expo is now in its eighth year of production and welcomes approximately 1,500 guests per event. This is really a one stop shop for all your quinceañera needs! From professional dancers, choreographers, djs, entertainment, transportation, food, decor, accessories, and of course, gowns, everything you need to make your special day absolutely perfect, is available at this one expo! You can find out when the next expo will be happening in your area here!

I hope you enjoy the photos!

 
 
 

The Elsa dress was not modeled, but it was on display! 


I mentioned the Cinderella dress in my last post, however, the dress did not make it to the Expo. :( 
Below is a stock photo of the gown for your viewing pleasure! :)
**I do not own this photo** 

Don't forget to check out the rest of the collection here


Are any of my lovely readers having a Quinceañera soon? How about my readers from other cultures? What types of fun coming-of-age events do you celebrate?

Pastel Plaid Delight

Hello My Beautiful Friends! 

Let me start off by saying...MY COMPUTER NEEDS TO GO TO COMPUTER HEAVEN ALREADY!!!!!!
Everything about my poor Macbook is starting to trail off... :( 
To be fair...I did get her in 2009. What is the work life supposed to be for a Macbook anyways? 
Well...the point is...what should take me a few moments to open/edit/navigate, takes me about 45 minutes to complete. -_-
Which is why it takes me so long to respond to all my comments. I always like to follow back, which requires me to open a new tab and load your blogs, and since that now takes like 10 minutes just to load...I can spend an hour and only make it to maybe 10 comments.
Just wanted you to know...the struggle is real.
--ANYWAYS--
I am working on a new schedule to have all my comments responded to and kept up so THANK YOU for your patience friends!!!! 
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
And now...for the outfit!! :) :) :)


Outfit Details:

Scarf: Charlotte Russe (Similar available here!)

Sweater: Forever 21 (This one is super cute and on sale!)

Jeans: Charlotte Russe (I want this pair!)

Heels: Make Me Chic (I'm after this pair && this pair!!)

Ain't nothing but a hair flip ;)



As always, thank you so much for reading, commenting, following and spreading the word! My followers are so important to me and I love meeting you, interacting with you, and learning about you!!

xoxo,
Michelle

Smooches in the City

It's almost Valentine's Day!!
Hello Again Dolls! 
Has 2015 been flying by for everyone or is it just me?! It has literally been birthday, after birthday, after important event, after fun weekend after one after the other! I don't really even feel like I have had a lazy relaxing weekend yet! 
Don't get me wrong, I love all the excitement!! I'm just sad everything is flying by so quickly! 
Before I know it, my nieces and nephew will be running around and telling me I can't kiss their faces 1000000000 times anymore because I'm embarrassing them! :( :( :( 
Okay, okay, anyways...I hope you enjoy this outfit! 
I had such a difficult time deciding what to wear for Valentine's Day this year! 
I bought a dress that I thought was perfect, then I saw this top with lips all over it and thought it would look just so adorable with my pleather mini skirt and clear Chanel bag! I hope you agree!!

Blouse: Macy's (Also available here!)

Skirt: MakeMeChic (This one is also super cute!)

Bag: Ebay (Find the "Paris" bag here!)
