lovely: pronovias

Pronovias can be credited for some of the most stunning gowns ever. They are a family business that originated in Barcelona and have come a long way to currently being a leader in the wedding fashion industry. Below are a few that caught my eye! Seriously, oohing and aahing over wedding gowns is simply too much fun.

I love the simplicity of this one.
I am really attached to this silhouette lately, it's just so feminine and pretty!
This one reminds me of Spain and the roots of Pronovias.
If you look closely there's some pretty, subtle detailing.
Exquisite lace.

These Charlotte Russe party dresses are fabulous. I selected them because of their color and attention to detail (ruffles and pleats, love!). The best part about today's post is that all of these gorgeous dresses are incredibly affordable. I could buy two or three easily, I simply need some reasons to dress up!

Today I have a little something exciting to share...the petite Victoriana headband which is adorned with pearls and crystals was just made available as of Thursday! This means that YOU could potentially be the first to get your hands on it...did I mention that Jennifer Behr designs are lusted over by celebrities?!

These pieces are so posh. Yes, I said posh. I hope you like them as much as I do!

This primer potion is especially for your eyelids and will make your eyeshadow last all day, and we love that it comes in such a fun bottle.

I'd like to introduce you to one of the most raved about makeup setting sprays out there. I am constantly hearing great things from brides-to-be about how long their makeup lasts when they use this.
