Last Minute Easter Outfit Ideas

This month has gone by so fast, I feel like it barely even happened at all! Like I seriously cannot believe that tomorrow is already Easter! And with Easter, comes the traditional family brunch, in which there is always some sense of a need to dress up. So if you're feeling the pressure to find then perfect last minute Easter outfit, stop stressing, because I've got you covered. I thought I would share some Easter Outfit ideas with you in hopes of not only helping you find the perfect brunch attire, but also to help myself decide what to wear, because yes, I still have absolutely no idea!   

Of all holidays, I find Easter to be the one that calls for exceptionally dressy outfits. I don't know if this is true for everyone, but for me at least, I always feel the need to dress up for Easter, even more so than I do on Christmas, or Thanksgiving. For me, I always consider it the day in which I finally get to put on that fancy dress that I've been dying to wear all winter, but couldn't because it was just too dang cold. A dress is not necessarily a requirement for Easter, I just usually tend to go in that direction.

Since it is obviously too late to order any of these dresses online and have them in your possession by tomorrow, you can use this as more of an outline. Perhaps you will have similar outfits in your wardrobe already, or perhaps you have some time for a last minute trip to the mall today. Regardless of how, or where you find your perfect Easter outfit, I hope this will at least help you a little bit, if you have absolutely no idea where to even begin, when putting your outfit together for tomorrows festivities. With that being said, here are some of my last minute Easter outfit ideas! I hope you enjoy!

Emerald Elegance

With St. Patricks day coming up this weekend, there couldn't be a better time to embrace one of this years hottest colors; Emerald. Although Emerald is a color that has always been worn on Saint Patricks Day, it usually makes it's way back into your closet once March 17th has passed, and doesn't reappear until the next year. This year however, when you pull out your finest emerald pieces, you may want to rethink putting them back, and consider keeping them out of hiding.

 Emerald was chosen as 2013s color of the year, by Pantone Inc. who claim to be "the authority on color, and provider of color systems, and leading technology for accurate communication of color." Needless to say the color Emerald has been seen as a statement color everywhere this year; from the runways, to the red carpets, to even in the movies! (Oz the Great and Powerful) 

Emerald looks great on practically every skin tone, which means who ever you are you are pretty much guaranteed to look amazing while wearing it. It is also a very versatile color and can be worn in so many different ways. You could wear it as a statement piece; Emerald colored pants, shirt, or dress. You could wear it as a bit more subtle part of your outfit; Emerald colored shoes, purse, or accessories. Or you could even rock this color trend in the most sublet way possible, on your nails. With so many different ways to rock this color, why not go ahead and add a bit more of it into your wardrobe this year? 

So this Monday after Saint Patricks day has come and gone, go ahead, continue to wear those Emerald greens. Just as long as it's not in the form of your 'Kiss me I'm Irish' t-shirt, that one you can definitely put back into your closet until next year.

Love Culture Lovin'

When it comes to online shopping I generally go for the same few stores, but recently I discovered a new one that I have completely fallen in love with. Love Culture. For all of you out there who like me, absolutely love finding new (affordable), online stores to shop at, this store is perfect! I don't know how I didn't discover it sooner, because it's seriously amazing. I cannot get enough of their clothing! It's so on point with my style, and pretty affordable too. Trendy, and inexpensive, I mean what can get better than that?! 

I wanted to share with you guys one of my favorite outfits that I found while browsing their site. Not that I didn't love pretty much everything (because I did), but this outfit in particular really caught my eye. I just love it so so much! It incorporates so many of this seasons trends (black&white, leather, a pop of color), while at the same time being 'simple' enough that almost anyone could wear this anywhere/anytime, and look amazing!

Now I'm sure some of you already knew of, or have shopped at Love Culture before, but I wanted to share this for those of you who hadn't. So if you've never checked out there website before, you definitely should! Trust me, it's worth some time browsing. 

Love Culture is Definitely my newest clothing obsession, and although my bank account may not be happy about this recent discovery, I know I sure am. :)

Fashion; More Than Clothing

One month ago today I decided to take a chance, go out on a limb, start something new. I decided to make a blog. So in honor of my one month anniversary I thought I would share with all of you why I created this blog, and what it means to me. <3

Fashion /'faSHēn'/: The prevailing style or custom as in dress or behavior

Fashion is much more than an outfit, style, or trend to me. Fashion is a passion, a statement, and a way of life. Just through the simple acts of learning, creating, and exploring the world of fashion you can gain far more knowledge and understanding about the world around you than a lifetime spent learning and studying academics. Fashion is the epitome of self expression and self confidence....

I really hope to be much more than the average fashion blogger. I hope to inspire, to grow, to teach, and to create a place where no matter who you are, or what you wear, you feel as though my blog has something to offer you.

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." 

-Coco Chanel

Also, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for supporting me, and following my blog. It means the world to me. Seriously, you guys are amazing!

XOXO StaceyAnn

The Gorgeous Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is one of my all time Favorite celebrities, so I was really excited when I saw her on the cover of this months ELLE Magazine. I love that Taylor has really matured into her own person, and hasn't given in to the pressures of Hollywood. She has managed to remain down to earth, friendly, and generous, despite her success, which is rare in the Entertainment Industry. She is a breath of fresh air; different, and yet so relatable. Writing songs about love and heart break, that we can all connect with. Taylor has also really developed her own unique sense of style, that not only flatters her body and makes her look absolutely stunning, but is very trendy and stylish as well. Taylor is beautiful, talented, and a wonderful role model. These pictures of her in ELLE are a perfect example of her beauty. She is just so gorgeous, I seriously can't rave about my love for her enough. Taylor Swift is definitely a one of a kind beauty.

Taylor is also on the cover of this months Vanity Fair, and Vogue Magazine 

Black & White and Worn All Over

Spring is usually the time of year for bright colors, florals patterns, and all the lace you can handle. And although this may still be true, there is a new trend sweeping the fashion world this spring. The pairing of Black and White. It's been seen everywhere, from the runway, to the red carpet, and even on the streets. This unusual springtime color combo has spread like wildfire, throughout the entire fashion industry. So since the best way to beat them, is to join them, I thought I'd do a little research and find some cute Black & White pieces that I think are a perfectly stylish way to wear this seasons hottest trend.

All of the pieces I have shown below are from Forever 21. I personally love doing a lot of my shopping from Forever 21 because their clothing is so affordable, and they're always on top of the latest trends. My personal feeling when it comes to buying really trendy pieces, is the cheaper the better. Since trends come and go, you may not always get much wear out of the trendier pieces you buy, so I like to save my splurging for more staple long lasting pieces that I can have in my wardrobe for years to come.

Best Dressed at the Oscars

It was a night filled with beauty, grace, and glamour. The fashion at the Oscars last night could not have been more amazing! Everyone looked so stunning and elegant. It was by far the best dressed night of the entire 2013 awards season. I am just so completely in love with the 'Old Hollywood' look that many celebrities portrayed last night, and I hope we will continue to see this look become a reoccurring  trend in the months to come. 

 Here are my top picks for best dressed last night:

Jessica Chastain in Giorgio Armani

Amy Adams in Oscar de la Renta 

 Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Coture

Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen

 Adel in Jenny Packham
