Formal Dress Guide

For all you high school junior and seniors out there, you're probably counting down the days until prom!! I remember I was so excited for senior prom and was counting down the days since maybe January! If you're a long time reader of my blog you might remember the post I did where I talked all about it!

My dress was definitely the most exciting part about prom! I did online shopping for months but I didn't fall in love with any.  When I actually went to the store to pick one out, I ended up falling in love with one I found at Neiman Marcus after only an hour ( my mom was SO happy about that). It is actually the middle one of the top row, just a lighter color!

I've rounded up a few dresses that I love for prom, or any type of formal, in case you're needing some last minute inspiration!

Spring Fever

Bow Heels, Striped Top, S'well Bottle, Orange Pumps

Lace Dress, Tassel Cross Body, Suede Heels, Sunglasses, Perfume, Crochet Dress

With the temps literally in the single digits, I've been trapped inside dreaming of warmer weather and not having to wear 3 layers at all times. I mean, I went to school in the South to get away from the cold so this is not ok with me! My wishful thinking has had me browsing the new Spring arrivals online so I've put together a few of my favorite things that I've found so far for all of you who have spring fever like me!

First Fridays in RVA

This past Friday, my friends and I decided to something a little different than what a typical college Friday night might look like! My bestie Ashlee and I started the afternoon with (what should have been) a quick trip to Sephora! We ended up doing a little window shopping in Kate Spade because we all know its impossible to walk by the store without going in. We both were obsessing over these heels!

How cute are these pillow?! I need them in my dorm:)

A quick cupcake stop was a must! Also, I saw Julia's snapchat the other day and she was in this sweater so of course I had to get it - it was only $12!

On the first friday of every month, Downtown Richmond has something called 'First Friday'! All the art galleries are open and theres so much fun things to do! After we had dinner, we went to find the first gallery and the first place we stopped at was actually a fashion show from a designer at VCU! It was so hipster-y and cool!

We got to see a live band playing traditional folk music, a student artist live painting a portrait, and explored a vintage thrift store with individual artists selling their work!

Our last stop was at the Quirk Hotel . It's a new addition to Richmond and by far one of the chicest, coolest places around! The vibe you get as soon as you walk in is fantastic and interior decorating is so unique! 

The hotel had a small art installation and a small shop that was selling the cutest knick knacks as well original art and jewelry from local artists!

So cute!

#bathroomgoals am I right?

When there's a 'Love and Happiness' room you can't help but smile!

We found our way to the rooftop of the hotel and I got to snap this cool picture of the city!

The one and only Monogrammed Meredith! 

I'm looking forward to more First Friday in downtown Richmond! Do I have any RVA readers out there? If so, have you been to a first friday!?
