How to wear red for the holiday ft. Karina Dresses

December 30, 2015

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas with your family and loved ones. Now that Christmas is over, are you excited to ring in the new year? Have you thought about what you’re going to wear? For me, this holiday season, a red dress is suitable for almost all occasion. And I love to pair with black to add the sophistication and class. When I saw this red dress from Karina Dresses, I thought it was the perfect dress. It’s modest but still very feminine, and the material is so flowy. I paired it with red and black rock stud shoes, a black statement necklace, and some gold accent from the bracelet and watch.

I’d also like to introduce you to Karina Dresses, an online dress boutique based in Brooklyn NY with a philosophy FITS GREAT, FEELS GREAT because we all know how amazing a great fitting and great looking dress can make you feel. Any dress they make will be there for you, 5 lbs up or down, and even through pregnancy. The material is very high quality that is soft, beautiful, yet can be machine washed and there is also no need for ironing. That is a huge deal for me, beautiful material without much care and maintenance? Yes please!

It started lightly snowing when I was shooting these pictures, and that made the pictures so romantic and even more perfect. I did have a jacket that I took off for these pictures, don’t worry, I didn’t freeze to death 🙂

    Your red dress is beautiful. I love the snow in the picture. Although I am so worried about you slipping in those heels. You look stunning from head to toe. I love red for NYE. I’m going to wear a red coat this year over my outfit. I wish you a wonderful New Year!

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.

It has been the best experience with recovery and breastfeeding I’ve had between the 2 children. And we can’t get enough of Mr. Colt’s smiles and snuggles 🧸.
