Summer Wedding Guest Dress Ideas

May 19, 2022 · Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year again, love is in the air and your calendar is likely filling up with ‘save the dates’ and invitations to watch your family and friends say ‘I do’ this summer. Saying yes to being a part of their special day is typically a no-brainer, however finding the right outfit to makes you look and feel the part often takes a little more consideration.

Location, location, location. Whether you’re witnessing your nearest and dearest get hitched on a white sandy beach, at a countryside winery or keeping with tradition and tying the knot at a church, you’ll want to consider the venue as you search for the perfect fit. A barefoot beach wedding gives you the opportunity to experiment with shorter lengths and more relaxed silhouettes, whilst a ceremony at the chapel calls for your Sunday best.

Once you’ve settled on the formality, it’s time to pick a colour or pattern that not only compliments you but ties in with the aesthetics of the day. If the happy couple haven’t specified on a colour scheme, a good tip is to use the invitation to guide your colour palette. Although nothing says summer quite like a crisp white, it’s best to steer clear and leave that to the bride!

Curating the perfect outfit can feel overwhelming. Here we’ve compiled a list of our favourite summer wedding looks to inspire your wedding style this season.

Beach Wedding

Saying ‘I do’ with a romantic beachside ceremony is the epitome of a summer wedding. With the sun on your skin and the sand between your toes, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore pastel, summer hues and shorter styles. Since you’ll likely be barefoot for the ceremony, opting for a mini or midi length will mean you can fully immerse yourself in the stunning surroundings, without worrying about standing or tripping on your dress. Make the most of the beautiful weather and relaxed vibe with cut outs and spaghetti straps. Keep jewellery delicate and minimal – and complete the look with a woven wide-brimmed hat.

Pastel colours and flattering cut outs are the perfect pick for a beachside ceremony. Pictured left is the Lupita Dress from Alamour The Label. Lean into summer with a backless mini, like the Simone Dress, pictured right.

Winery Wedding

A winery wedding often combines chic aesthetics and elegant sophistication, with manicured gardens, endless greenery and beautiful estates. Romantic floral patterns and sweeping A-line skirts will seamlessly take you from the afternoon ceremony through to a night on the dance floor, whilst making you look and feel your most confident self. A two-piece set is perfect for the warmer months, showing some skin whilst keeping in with the elegant theme of the day.

The floral pattern and sweetheart neckline of the Jamila Dress (left) oozes romance. The two-piece style and lightweight chiffon of the Fleur Midi Set (right) breaks up the pattern and is perfect for those warmer days.

Church Ceremony

Although we love a boho inspired beach wedding or ceremony in front of rolling green hills, but something extra special is evoked from the tradition of tying the knot in a church. Whether it’s the humble local chapel or a grand cathedral, traditional church weddings usually call for a modest, formal dress code. Depending on the formality of the ceremony, venue and couple, covered shoulders and a higher cut neckline are styles to look for when choosing an appropriate ensemble, however, don’t be afraid to opt for a sleeveless number for a more laid back occasion, especially in summer – a light shawl can be a great accessory to adorn your shoulders during the ceremony and removed at the reception.

For more traditional ceremonies, the Genevieve Dress (left) from Alamour The Label features sheer sleeves and a modest neckline. The classy cut and satin fabric of the Juliet Dress (right) looks stunning paired with a simple gold heel and statement earrings.

Now that you’ve RSVP’d to those summer nuptials, it’s time to find the perfect outfit to celebrate in style.

Art Deco Minimalist Appeal with Hamucd Table Lamps

October 14, 2021 · Leave a Comment

We have spent more time at home than ever in the last year, and many of us still work from home. Looking to redecorate for function and style? Consider this Hamucd Table Lamp Set. These versatile table lamps are suitable for Bedside Table Lamps, Living Room End Tables, or foyer. They are stylish and functional because these lamps each have 2 USB Ports and Outlet in the base. And the glass mushroom shade provides full yet soft warm light.

Hamucd

 

Hamucd table lamps provide simple but elegant style that fits into many decors, these glass dome lamps even have USB ports to charge your phone by your bedside!

 

They are study quality and look elegant.

 

LAMP DESIGN

These Hamucd lamps are a set of two matching lamps. They are 14 x 20 x 6 inches and weigh just under 13 pounds. The assembled height is 20 inches.

The style is art deco modern. The base is iron black metal and the mushroom shape shade is a softly variegated white glass dome.

The lamp uses two bulbs. Each bulb has a pull chain. The lamp is for indoor use only.

Marbled glass shade provides clear but soft white light

Each bulb operates separately with a pull string.

In addition to being a light source, these lamps also come with both USB and plugs. It’s nice to be able to plug a charge cord directly into the lamp without having to fish around behind the table for an outlet. The 2-prong AC and USB ports on the base reduce clutter. I can charge my phone and another plug-in device by the USB/power plug in the base.

ASSEMBLY

These lamps come well packed, with inner and outer boxes and styrofoam to keep the glass dome shades safe. I am impressed by how well these were packed to keep them safe.

The lamps are easy to assemble, just place the glass dome on the top of the black metal base and screw in the finial. Add bulbs, I used a soft white, but full-spectrum also works nicely.

And warm bulbs add a soft amber glow, as seen in this photo:

They were packaged very well with no scuffs or damage. The dome shade comes very well packaged with a styrofoam dome insert to keep it safe.

The lamps are sturdy but not too heavy to move around.

USE

The look is sort of a cross between Art Deco and Minimalist without being overly basic. The dome looks very pretty when lit, and adds a lovely soft but well-lit warm glow to the room. The style fits in well with many decor styles.

It is also quite versatile: it works in an office, study, reading room, library, bedroom, living room

The soft warm white light is ideal for reading because the shade casts ample light, but there is no glare.

We have spent more time at home than ever in the last year, and many of us still work from home. Looking to redecorate for function and style? Consider this WIHTU Touch Control Bedside Lamp set. This industrial-style pair of lamps provide dimmable light with USB ports to charge your phone, and an easy-to-access AC outlet right on your desk, side table, or nightstand.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

This WIHTU Industrial Style Touch Control Bedside Lamp set is equipped with 2 USB ports and an AC outlet in the base. This lamp can charge up to 3 devices at the same time. I charge my phone, iPad, and Kindle right by my bedside. It can also power a humidifier, diffuser, clock radio, or mini fan.  And even if the actual lighting on the lamp is off, it can still charge, so you can charge your devices while you sleep.

USB Port on the base charges two devices at once, even when the lamp is not on

It is also convenient to have an AC plug at table level instead of reaching behind furniture for a plug. It keeps a desk or nightstand clutter-free with fewer cords and clutter.

I find it easier to remember to charge my tablet device and phone every night when it is right by my bedside. And if I use the lamps at my desk, it keeps my phone and tablet charged during the day.

USES

These lamps are suitable for:

  • Living Room side tables
  • Nightstand Lamp

  • Office

It is easy to assemble and it sturdy with simple, streamlined pieces.  Here is the inside of the lamp shade:

 

CONSTRUCTION & ASSEMBLY

WELL MADE

The set is sturdy and easy to assemble. It is very well packed in the box and comes with detailed how-to assembly instructions, but it is simple enough for you to put it together yourself without them. Each part of the lamp is well packed so it arrived without scratches or damage.

ENERGY SAVING

Carry a Large Laptop In Style: The Estarer 17.3 Inch Laptop Messenger Bag

April 24, 2021 · 7 Comments

I love a larger screen laptop for presentations, photo editing and streaming movies, so I often use a 17.3-inch screen laptop at school and work. But finding a professional bag that fits my 17.3-inch laptop is difficult, especially when carrying other gear. The Estarer Laptop Messenger Bag is made for both professionals and students and holds my large laptop and tablet, plus my gear, supplies, notebook, and water bottle. It’s roomy without being cumbersome or heavy and has numerous compartments and pockets to securely hold everything I need to take me through the day at from work to school.

  • MULTIPLE COMPARTMENTS: In addition to a laptop sleeve, there is a roomy compartment with an organizer pocket with two inner pouches, three front pouches, and rear pocket and an impressive multi-row and column storage panel to numerous items to be found quickly at a glance including cards, ID, phone, USB, cords, makeup, mints, power bars
Inner compartment with multi-columned pocket sleeve for pens, mints, and a key ring

  • OVERFLAP to hold an ID card, pen, and wallet in an accessible but safe spot
  • TWO WATER BOTTLE POCKETS, so you can carry two water bottles or a water bottle and coffee thermos.
  • EASY TO CARRY There is an adjustable reinforced shoulder strap (up to 25.3 inches) and a sturdy top handle
  • SAFE & SECURE: Hidden pockets, velcro and zip closures
  • SIZE: 18.5 x 13.78 x 5.91 inch. Holds laptops up to 17.3-inch

 

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN

Made with a thick, durable, water-resistant canvas, it has both a top handle and a rugged adjustable shoulder strap, up to 25.3 inches in length, so the bag can be worn across the body if desired or hung by the shoulder.

The adjustable strap allows for wearing the bag off the shoulder or cross body

The main compartment fits multiple books or up to a three-inch binder notebook in addition to the laptop compartment.

Ideal for college students, in addition to a laptop, the bag holds a 3-inch binder notebook, books, and supplies

The stitching is well done with no loose threads and it is made with quality materials without shortcuts. For example, the connection between the bag and strap is metal, not plastic. The shoulder strap leather is well stitched and thick and bears the weight well.

The over-flap front pocket is especially useful for quick access to Photo ID, pens, key, and phone.

USES: WHAT THE BAG CAN HOLD

The laptop sleeve

The case holds everything here, including a large textbook, my 17.3-inch notebook, gloves, makeup bag, bottled beverages, mints, keys, sunglasses, phone, tablet, with plenty of room to spare

Finally a case that can hold my 17.3-inch laptop and other wares, books and equipment at the same time!

There are so many compartments and pockets to keep items safe and secure and easily accessible in addition to the laptop compartment,  including front and back pockets, side pockets for water bottles or thin thermos

Multiple zippered pockets for the laptop, binders, gear, and supplies

 

Quality stitching, top handle, side water bottle pockets

It’s also useful as a travel bag or DSLR camera bag (in its’ own padded case), and the velcro and zip closures keep the bag contents safe.

The front of the bag has a secret thin zippered pocket to hold my phone or wallet, tablet or gloves. This pocket is hidden but accessible so it is a safe place to store such smaller items securely.

The front overflap has a full thin pocket that holds a tablet, scarf or gloves

The back also has a full panel zippered pocket ideal for holding documents, important papers or presentations or even a thin tablet.

MY EXPERIENCE

I was able to carry not only my laptop but a 3-inch binder notebook, a textbook, my tablet, and my water bottle all in separate compartments.

The front slit pocket fits a tablet, passport, a phone and wallet

 

A roomy compartment holds books and a binder

Laptop, binder, textbooks, notepad and tablet compartments

The front flap holds my ID in place so I can swipe scan into the secure access only buildings without having to remove my ID from the case, which is convenient when I am carrying coffee or rushing around work or school.

I like that I can carry everything I need for a full day of work or school or travel. There are two water bottle pockets which means I can carry a water bottle for during the day and another bottle for the gym, or a water bottle and a thin coffee thermos. This is more convenient than waiting in line for coffee before a class, yet the bottles are safely kept away from my laptop, papers, books, and equipment.

Large roomy compartment has multiple pockets for finding items quickly

I could also fit a scarf in my bag in case the weather gets chilly.

This case holds everything I need for a full day at school or work

The bag is highly durable, even when I overstuffed the bag, the shoulder strap bore the weight and the bag did not rip. The top handle is sturdy and comfortable to carry the bag without chafing.

Long adjustable shoulder strap is ideal for travelers, college students, and professionals for carrying lots of gear

The back could be used for an overnight trip. I could fit my makeup and toiletries into the back pocket, socks, spare t-shirt, flat shoes, tablet, small hairdryer, and my camera, etc.

I particularly like the double security of both the velcro over flap and the zippered top compartments to keep the contents of the bag secure from theft, loss, or the weather.

Find items quickly inside the multiple inner pockets

CONCLUSION

A highly versatile bag that can carry a 17.3 inch laptop, water bottles, paperwork, books, a notebook, a camera, a thermos, and boasts an abundance of pockets including an overlap with quick access to important items like the built-in key ring, pen holder, and ID holder, this water-resistant messenger bag is ideal for a college student or someone who travels a great deal for work. It is also very useful for someone who likes to work in a cafe and carry with them all the supplies they might need during the day. The rugged shoulder strap is adjustable, making it easy for both women or men of various heights to wear the messenger bag across the body for maximum ease and security.

Holds everything I need for a long day of classes: my 17.3-inch laptop, a three-inch binder notebook, water bottle, pens, pencils, ID, a scarf, my tablet and more
