GUEST POST - THE GREEN GUIDE

Fall In Love With Your Dress: Dare To Show Off Some Skin
 
Wedding days are so special to every woman because this one of the few days where you can show to the world how beautiful you are. And what better way to celebrate your beauty than by wearing a wedding dress that will flaunt your natural beauty. A wedding dress can make or break your overall look, so it’s better to go over at some of the latest sexy wedding dress designs to help you make your final decision. Here are my top 3 picks for sexy wedding dress for this season:
 
1.
Sleeveless Wedding Dresses: Sheath/Column Halter Sleeveless Court Train Satin/Chiffon Wedding Dress
 
 
 
Why I chose this dress: I love the way the train flows smoothly and the simplistic design of the lower part of the dress blends well with the beaded upper.
 
2.
Strapless Wedding Dresses – A-line Strapless Sleeveless Knee-Length Wedding Dress
 
 
 
Why I chose this dress: I like the way the fabric were carefully matched to create a simple yet stylish dress that can make any bride stand out at her wedding day. (See more strapless wedding dresses on The Green Guide).
 
3.
 Short Wedding Dresses – Ball Gown Sweetheart Short Mini/Satin Wedding Dress
 
 
 
Why I chose this dress: The youthful style of this dress with the incorporation of the lavender lace makes it an up to date bridal gown which is suitable for young brides of today.

AUGUST BLOGGER BITS


It's the end of the month so here are some of the fabulous blogger bits I've received throughout August!
As usual, all the links are at the bottom of the page so everything should be easy to find
:)
 
VATENO
 
First up is this beautiful playsuit from Vateno.com!
The material is thin, light and has a lovely shimmer to it. I love the mesh detailing on the top half, it's very girly but it's great for summer right? I will probably pair it with light pastel coloured accessories, it will look great both dressed up and down. The waistband is elasticated, making it very flattering but also very comfortable to wear!

LOVELYSALLY
 
I always get excited when the postman hands me LovelySally.com packages! There was an explosion of colour when I opened this package, look at these two beauties!
 
LovelySally Fortuna Swimsuit / Zebras in Ibiza Dress

I have LovelySally leggings, swimsuits, a skirt and a crop but this is my first dress and I can defiantly say I am not disappointed!
Firstly, I love the print! It's the same print I have on my LovelySally crop top but instead of being black, white and pink, its neon green, pink and purple! Secondly, it fits beautifully as it's not too tight, which makes it surprisingly flattering! The only bad thing I have to say is that it's a little bit long so I might have to tuck the bottom under - this is probably because I have the worlds shortest body though so if you are not freakishly out of proportion like me, you should be fine
:)

The second piece I received from Romwe was this cathedral print skirt! I already have the cathedral print dress and loved it so much, I had to get the skirt too! It's a lot thicker than I expected it to be and I love the fact it has a zip on!

I didn't realise at first, but you can undo one of the straps so it's easier to get on, which is a  big bonus as you don't have to mess up your hair and make up whilst trying to get it on haha
The material is really thick and the print is fabulous! I cannot wait to wear this combo :D

This dress is so lovely, it's made out of thick, great quality material, had a corset like top with strap detailing on the back and a peplum / layered bottom. The colour is a beautiful light coral colour, so it will look great with pastel coloured accessories :)

Sammi Jackson - Sleeh Colour Block Heels
 
Today I'm wearing my new LovelySally Fortuna swimsuit!
These photos don't really do the colour any justice, it's a whole lot brighter in real life as the printing is very sharp and crisp. The design is printed on the front and the back of the swimsuit which I love, some cheaper swimsuits / bodysuits may have great print on the front but then the back will just be plain black. The material is thick, has a glossy sheen to it and the quality is excellent, again more reasons why it's worth avoiding cheaper alternatives.
 
These colour block heels are a relatively new addition to my shoe collection and they're from Sleeh.com
I have these heels in an orange / yellow colour and you can also get a red / pink pair too. They're incredibly comfy, easy to walk in and considering how little they cost, the colours are really bright and vibrant and the quality of them is excellent. They even came in their own dustbags which was a lovely surprise and I wasn't expecting them too :D
