What To Wear..... Christening/Baptism

Hey guys,

Christenings, baptisms, or whatever you want to call them are a stressful time not only because you have to sit through (most likely) a bunch of babies being dunked in a bowl of water, prayers, etc. you might think that your outfit might be easy to pick out. Now this post is going to be in 2 parts: guests and godmothers! Now some of you may or may not know that my brother just had another baby and named me to be his godmother!! I am beyond stressed because I have NO idea what to wear! Luckily, I have done some research and have found some amazing dressed for both the godmother or the guests.

Now there are a few rules when attending a christening....

What not to wear....
No jeans
No flip flops
No uggs
No club wear
Try not to wear black, this isn't a funeral ;)

What to wear....
Pants suit
Dresses
Skirts
Heels
Ballet shoes
Sandals

Spring/summer colors....
Pastel 
Bright 
Neutral(try and stay away from dark colors during this season)

Fall/winter colors.....
Neutral
Jewel tone

Here are some inspirations I have for my upcoming christening of my nephew..... Let me know if you guys have any store I should look at!

A couple more cute stores......H&M, urban outfitters, forever 21, nasty gal, and any major department store!


What would/have you worn to a christening/baptism? What do you think is a on the what not to wear list? Do you think any color is inappropriate or unacceptable to wear when your the godmother? Of all the outfits above which is your favorite?

Hair Haul

Hey guys,

So, I don't know about you guys but I love watching all the makeup gurus on YouTube. I get a lot of tips, tricks, and recommendations. The biggest recommendation I got was not only from YouTube videos but also tv, its called Nume and they are all about hair! When I was watching CarliBybel I noticed a coupon code/special offer for their classic wands, this specific one was buy 2 classic wands for $99!!! What an amazing deal because originally it would have cost over $350!!!! 
Now I know I have preached in the past about my hot tools curing iron and while that curling iron is great, I really wanted a smaller barrel and not spend a fortune. 

 

So, I purchased the 19mm classic curling wand in pink and I got the pearl curling wand. I am so excited to show you guys what these wands do to my hair!! When I get them I will post a review on the product and show pictures of what both of them do!!

Have you guys heard of Nume? Do you have any of their products? How would you rate them?
