Fashion Dilemma : Weeks 2 and 3

Hello my friends!
This will be an extra long fashion dilemma post due to the fact that I kept forgetting to take photos of my outfits so I had to do a little catch-up shoot with Matt for what I wore over the weekend on our trip to Savannah.

I have to say it has been a bit odd to be taking photos of what I am wearing when I leave my house, but it has also been educational. Sometimes you just don't realize how things look until you see photos.
That's what this challenge is all about really. I want to better educate myself on what is working with my fashion choices and what is not. What am I wearing that is making me look too old, too young, or just plain unflattering?
With that said let's head into this weeks (well....the past two weeks) outfits!
1. Off to the dentist with Matt

I just wanted you all to know that I do have about three pairs of Forever 21 jeans from Plato's Closet.

Here comes this weeks edition of Inspire me...er...Tuesday.
I love movies so I thought that I would share some of my go-to inspiring movies.
Every once in a while when I am really wanting to have a crafting day my inspiration will stall out just a bit so I turn to a movie that is absolutely inspiring.
All of these movies are breath taking and they always get my creative juices flowing.
A few of these movies even fall in to my all time favorite list.
Sorry this post is a bit photo heavy but I hope that you enjoy!
1. Marie Antoinette


2. Edward Scissor Hands
3. Breakfast at Tiffany's


4. Misses Pettigrew Lives For a Day


5. Fantastic Mr. Fox

6. Almost Famous


7. Funny Face


8. Lucky Number Slevin
9. 500 Days of Summer


All of these movies are beautifully made . The wardrobe selections and gorgeous interiors are a dream come true!
Do any of these movies inspire you? If not these, what movies do inspire you?

Crazy Beautiful Weekend

Hello there ! I hope that your weekend was lovely and that your week has gotten off to a wonderful start, my weekend was...well....a bit hectic.
So, I'm sorry you didn't hear from me on Friday or Monday.
Matt and shot two weddings this weekend. One here in Tampa, FL and the other in Savannah, GA. It was fun and Savannah is absolutely gorgeous but it was very very tiring to make that trip ( a six hour drive ) in between two full days of photographing weddings (typically about a ten hour day). None the less we had a great time!
I love to travel and see new things with Matt! We love the adventure of a new place, and Historic Downtown Savannah is beautiful, and the overall culture is so different than what we experience here in Tampa.
Savannah seemed to be an entire city of people who were active, and appreciated the outdoors and the natural beauty that surrounds them, also, there are a couple different art schools in Downtown Savannah so there is a very strong arts community.
We will definitely be paying another visit!

Anyhow, we are back home, unpacked, and I am ready to get back to The Lovely Lemon!

I thought you all might like a little sneak peak at a beautiful photo Matt took from Saturdays wedding! This photo is one of my favorite portfolio shots so far!

I will be back later tonight with this week's inspirations, "The Fashion Dilemma" weekly photos will be postponed until Friday which means you will have two weeks worth of outfits to rate! And don't forget about the giveaway later on in the week!
