Eshakti ||Little Black Dress

A few weeks ago Eshakti contacted me wanting to do a collaboration for my blog. I was very excited because I love working with different companies, I was especially excited for this collaboration because I had never heard of their company before. Eshakti has amazing clothes that are amazing quality. One thing that stood out for me about Eshakti was that they can customize the clothing to fit you or your personal preference on style. When I am shopping I always run into the problem of wishing the sleeves were longer, the neck line was different, or just wishing it fit me perfectly.

The process of placing my order was super simple and went very smooth. I chose this gorgeous little black dress, I loved the dress so much but I wanted to customize it a little bit. The dress was originally a capped sleeve but I wanted to do something a little different, with their easy customization process I chose a short sleeve, the dress was also originally above the knee (their mini length) but I wanted to go for the knee length style because I am totally loving that look right now. You can also customize your piece to your measurements which I love because at times dresses can be way to long on me and I feel like it makes me look shorter than I am.

 

Dress: Eshakti c/o Earrings; Icing Shoes: Steve Madden via Nordstroms Watch: Anna Klein via Nordstroms Bracelets: Jcrew

Wearing this dress totally makes me feel like Audrey Hepburn, and I absolutely love it! This dress is so comfortable which I love, but it is also really dressy and can totally be worn to an event or to church. I love the leather detailing on the bodice because it adds a slight edge to this ever so girly dress. My favorite part of the entire dress may just be the pockets, I (as are most girls) am a sucker for any dress that has pockets! When accessorizing this gorgeous piece I didn't want to add a necklace because I didn't want to distract from the gorgeous top on this dress, I did go with some fun gold stud earrings, and some of my favorite layering bracelets.

Overall I am very impressed with my dress from Eshakti. My dress fits perfectly and is amazing quality! I can tell this is going to be a staple piece in my closet.

Big Pink Sweater

Sweater//Skirt//Tights//Socks//Shoes//Necklace; wishbone//Necklace; arrow

Today I went with a very feminine girly look. I am absolutely loving this skirt that I got for Christmas! I love the the girly details such as the ruffles, I also really like the grey color because it can really go with anything. I love the color in this sweater because it really just adds an extra bit of femininity to the look. These boots were also a Christmas gift and I have honestly worn them so much! As many of you know leopard is probably my most favorite print, so its perfect that these boots were in this print. These boots are actually short rain boots which make them 10x cuter, I am a sucker for rain boots.

I hope you have been enjoying your weekend and are having a good Sunday!

Reads Lately:

Lately I have been super into reading magazines and inspirational books. There is something about relaxing and reading a great book or magazine, I have been loving books that make me feel happy, inspired, and good about myself. As I have gotten older I have found that we really need to spend time just calm and alone, for me I love to read during this time. Whether it is a great book or a fun magazine, I love to just relax and read. Some people might find this crazy to believe but it is true :').

Magazines I have loved:

Be Wise Magazine//

I found this magazine via Tarryn Lynn on instagram and I am loving it. This magazine has all things girly, but also has some amazing messages. After reading this magazine I felt happy and good about myself, this is one thing that is hard to find in traditional magazines we find on store shelves.

Celestial Shine Magazine//

A couple weeks ago my dad shared this online magazine with me and I have been so excited to share it with all of you guys. As many of you know I am LDS and sometimes it is hard to find things in magazines that are modest and adhere to my standards. Celestial Shine Magazine is absolutely what I have been looking for. The magazine features articles on fashion, dating, and beauty. The magazine is so amazing and I can't wait to one day have a printed copy. Celestial Shine Magazine is something you all should go check out, I have been loving it.

Books I have loved:

Lauren Conrad Beauty//

I received this book as a Christmas gift this year and I am just loving it. Looking through this book makes me happy and makes me inspired. This year I want to live my life inspired and this book really does that for me. In this book you will find tips on everything beauty related. I love that the book also focuses on inner beauty. I recommend this book 100% I absolutely love it.

I hope you guys have found some good reads, and are living your life inspired.

2015// New Year New ME

2015 is going to be an amazing year, I can already tell. This year I want to actually stick to my goals and accomplish something. Every year I think we all set goals and resolutions but w never actually stick to them. I think a big contributor to this is the fact that we are setting goals that really aren't attainable. I had a teacher once that told us our goals need to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. I absolutely love this because when we do these things we will really work towards them. Along with these things we also need to have goals that are simple. A new year is a time when we can start fresh and really try to become a better person.

GOALS

1. Get outside of my comfort zone

2. Be more organized

3. Blog more

4. Get more sleep at night

5. Laugh more

This year I am taking a picture every day of something that I did that day, or something that will remind of that day. At the end of the year I am going to making the pictures into a video and a book. I have seen similar things like this but they videoed for one second every day, I really wanted to do the video but this is a lot more realistic for me, and to be honest I do not know how to edit videos at all.

I hope you all have an amazing New Year and set some good goals to help you have an amazing year!

I would also like to thank you guys so much for your support over the years, and for helping me get to where I am today.

xoxo Annie
