Friday Favorites {although it is saturday}

On account of having an extremely stressful & intensely trialsome couple weeks.. I have not been able to update as often as I usually do. One thing that is so important, for myself, to remember is that no matter what is happening in this world - God is ALWAYS right there and there is always something to smile about. I know tonight is Saturday and I am a day late, but my Friday Favorites are my favorite thing to post about.. here are a few of the things that made me smile, despite the rain.

Glowing Goddess: Taylor's TCA Look

Sunday was a big night for Miss Taylor: 5 TCA wins to add to her collection! The country-pop sensation gracefully accepted her awards - while looking luminous and glowing every moment with an absolutely flawless look.

Taylor's use of peach blush gives her a softly flushed look, in combination with highlighter applied under the eyes giving her skin the appearance of glowing. Plum-Magenta eyeshadow and dramatic eyeliner complement the peach-blushed tone of her skin wonderfully - the combination of hues emitting the breathtaking luminous glow.

And the dress ! Silk mousseline, White and flowy with a draped bust bodice, multi-leveled hem and the best part: chic cutouts on each side, with nude tulle overtop - giving the cut-out effect without showing too much skin. SO pretty. Designed by Marcia Lucia Hohan, the dress is actually floor length, but Taylor got it hemmed to be shorter for her, since the TCA's aren't exactly a ball gown event. She accessorized with nude tones, with her nude clutch and pumps - beautifully complementing her peach blushed make-up. For the night, Taylor was most definitely a Grecian Goddess.

WonderstruckEnchanted

BackToBlogging?! Yes. And I have brilliant news to share. Women's Wear Daily has just announced that Taylor Swift is releasing her next fragrance Wonderstruck Enchanted later this year!! As you know, I am a massive massive fan, so this is extremely exciting news. Wonderstruck is my absolute favorite fragrance, and not JUST because it is Taylor's, but because it honestly is just a wonderful and lovely scent. Like Wonderstruck, Wonderstruck Enchanted will be fresh, fruity and floral - but with more sensual, cozy woodsy notes in it as well. And the BOTTLE. Scarlet Red! *swoon* So soo excited. Wonderstruck Enchanted will be as alluring and enchanting as ever ;)
