The Bridesmaid’s Checklist to Keep the Traditions Alive

Wedding

Modern weddings are a great deal different than their vintage counterparts in all ways. The arrangements, the executions and everything has now got the contemporary touch. Weddings have become a lot more lavish and fancy than they used to be in previous times. With the change in lifestyle, modifications were also seen in the way people get married. The ceremony changed, the party changed, and even some of the traditions changed. In the modern day hectic lifestyle, people hardly have time to get married peacefully and experience the beauty of the age-old traditions that were once part of all...

4 Year Blog Birthday!

Fashion•Lifestyle•Outfits

Today marks four years since I started this blog. I cannot BELIEVE it has been that long. And I’m still so blown away by all of the support, opportunities and people I have met through this venture. It all started with a conversation about how I missed writing about what I wanted, especially fashion, and the next day we owned the domain rachelslookbook.com. This past year has definitely gone by faster than any year before, and as I was reviewing this year, I honestly just can’t believe we are here, at the end of November again! What I’m Wearing...

Wedding Fun!

Lifestyle•Wedding

This past weekend, one of my very best friends Elise got married to the love of her life! It was an absolutely gorgeous wedding and so much fun to connect with my friends. Every time I’m around my college girls, we just have a blast! They shared the most beautiful vows that brought most of the guests to tears (me included). Also, as you can see, we somehow all coordinated – I SWEAR this was not planned, but it resulted in some fantastic color-coordinated photos haha! Here are a few photos from the weekend. Elise and Joben, I wish you...

Blush Pink

Fashion•Outfits

So a couple days ago I shared a thrifted red lace dress and today I’m sharing this blush pink dress I thrifted the same night! This one is a bit more professional, so to make it more appropriate for a Valentine’s date, I added a sleek pair of patent pumps and a sequin clutch. The contrast of the black gives it a bit more interest than when I originally paired it with nude pumps. Is it just me, or do you always pair similar shades together? Blush pink + beige or nude just seems to make sense, but I...

Holiday Style: Vintage Glam

Fashion•Outfits

I’ve expressed my love for vintage many times on this blog, there is just something so special about being able to wear pieces that were a part of someone else’s life before… in a different time. I have been fortunate enough to acquire some pieces from my grandmother, and have also loved searching for vintage pieces online and while thrifting. Vintage pieces are so well made, it makes it worth the purchase even if sometimes the price is a little more steep than I want to pay. I discovered this faux fur jacket and polka dot green maxi at...

Floral Blazer + Pencil Skirt

Fashion

Mondays tend to be a day to get organized and figure out priorities, and with having Friday off, I felt like I didn’t even know where to begin! I figured wearing a bright colored blouse and floral blazer would help brighten my spirit, and so it did. I truly believe feeling good about what you wear to work can help you be more productive! Also, this skirt… one of the best pencil skirts I’ve ever owned and I thrifted it at Goodwill not too long ago! I have owned an Anne Klein blazer before, but this skirt (I believe...

Casual Friday Style

Fashion•Outfits

I hope you all had a FABULOUS Memorial Day weekend! I did a lot of fun things, including catching up with friends I rarely see anymore, meeting Katie in real life and getting caught up on laundry! I even got a LITTLE bit of sun being able to relax by the pool. Here is an outfit I wore to work on Friday… I’m trying to be more “dressy casual” on Fridays now, meaning I wear heels and actually do my hair! I have no idea if it counts, but it makes me feel even more productive. I have a...

Striped Dress

Fashion•Outfits

I was contacted by 9th & Elm to do a product review and was excited to order this striped chiffon dress. I was hoping it would be long enough on me so that I could wear it to work, and on the weekends, but unfortunately (like most dresses now) it was too short on me for work. So instead, I styled it for a recent date night! 9th & Elm provides handmade and independent designs, perfect for finding a unique gift for friends or family, or finding something beautiful for yourself. It is like many other sale sights, but...

Maggy London makes some incredible dresses and I’m especially in love with this floral print sheath dress! The black and white floral print is classic, yet fun and a perfect dress to wear to work during the spring in summer! It is finally warm enough to wear a dress and I am looking forward to wearing this gorgeous dress all spring and summer long! I paired it with coral heels and a pearl necklace just to add a little color and keep it classy looking! This is going to be the perfect dress for upcoming bridal showers and to wear...
