Hey sweet cheeks! Its that time again when the weekend just fly’s by way to fast. I had the best weekend even though we had a few ups and downs. We went to lake Powell for the weekend with 2 other couples and the drive was about 8 hours and it was such a last minute trip, those are the best because they are spontaneous. We planned on going like 4 days before we went. When we got there it was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen, it was so quit and the view was so breathtaking. I will add a few photos below of our view. So the day was going great, we went boating swimming and tubing was a blast until I flew off and hit my head on the water pretty bad. Never doing that again. ? Later that day it got so hot and we forgot to bring umbrellas so we got fried. It was kinda funny just because I looked like a tomato and I woke up this morning and my face was swollen ? I always wear a hat and never tan my face and I don’t know what I was thinking. ? Later that evening it finally cooled off and we decided to go swimming again. It was so refreshing and just so fun being away from work, emails and a cell phone and just forget about everything because the view and just having the best time with great people was amazing. We got back to out little home aka 2 tents towards the sundown. Made steak and salad and sat by the fire and talked about life until we got so drained from that day we decided to head to bed. Literally an hour passed and I heard our stuff falling from our table. I was half awake and I kinda layed back down and closed my eyes until I heard even more noise and sand coming into our tent, omg I freaked out and opened the tent a bit and I have never seen such a crazy wind in my life. The boat was tied and the wind literally tore the rope that the boat was tied to and the boat got a bit damaged. ? I thought a rock was going to fall on us or the wind was going to blow us away into the water. I started praying and praying. My heart was beating so fast. Thank God we had 2 other people in our tent so it didn’t go anywhere. ? It was so windy for about 2 hours and I could not fall asleep because of all the sand coming in our tent. We finally went to bed after it stopped. When we got up in the morning we where covered in sand. It was such a scary experience but I am so glad we are ok and safe and back home. That morning we decided to head home because it was just a crazy night and didn’t want to go through that again. So that was our weekend. I hope you had the best 4th of July. Oh and on the way home we even had a fireworks show. ? I am so happy we went and also so glad we are ok. ?
Now back to this shoot. I am so obsessed with this dress just because of the details on it. I am loving the white collar and the bit of lace. This dress is so comfy, chic and just the perfect little black dress. I just loved how different it is just because of all the detailing. I added my favorite striped heels by the way they are on sale. ? I have linked everything down below. I know wedding season is here and this dress would be perfecto! I can totally see me rocking this dress in the fall or winter. Throw on some leaching leggings, booties or heels, a belt and a cute blazer and BAM. ? I hope you enjoyed this look, thank you for always reading and following along BEAUTIFUL! Today I have nothing planned so I will stay in bed for a bit longer and maybe do a shoot until bible study tonight. Oh and gonna hit that gym hard. Also its been a week in a half without coffee and I am actually doing great, I am obsessed with the morning smoothies and I am not having headaches so thank God. I will keep you all updated on that. Good bye for now. ?
Lots of love, Alena Gidenko
