#FashionFriday: Off Shoulder Spring Dress

Today I am rocking a off the shoulder dress with sleeves by Sage! I truly love the mint color, design and pattern of this dress. It’s totally Spring! I’ll be wearing this a few times during this Spring & Summer. It has a vintage feel to it with this beautiful floral pattern and, it’s definitely in style and trendy for this Spring season. I like that the sleeves are off the shoulder giving the dress a strapless look with sleeves. All I did to compliment the dress was grab my Aldo open toed pumps out my closet that matched perfectly, my Michael Kors wallet and a necklace and I’m ready to hit the town and be the true fashionable socialite that I am! Who’s ready for cocktails and conversation?

My Makeup is done by none other than Tiwa Lawrence owner of Pink Diamonds. I LOVE my Cherry Blossom lashes! So to achieve this look my face was prepped with complete comfort cream and applied prep primer vibrancy eye cream under the eye. Then she applied the following: Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NC45, Studio Finish Concealer in NC42, Mineralize Skin Finish in Medium Dark, Mineralize Skin Finish in Deep Dark to contour my face, style blush and prep + prime transparent finishing powder. For my eyes: Urban Decay e/s half-baked on my eyelids. creep and blackout in the crease and cherry blossom lashes. For my lips: MAC Beet Lipliner, MAC Embrace Me Lipstick, and Money Honey Dazzle Glass.

I had so much fun doing this photo shoot as always with Johnny J. Jones, Tiwa Lawrence and Dionne Liles. They are truly great friends and a team that is doing whatever it takes to help one another excel and pursue our individual dreams. Johnny is a great events photographer and you can see his wonderful work and portfolio(s) over on his website Johnny J. Jones Photography.

Until Next Time… Ciao!
