Copenhagen, a Red Gown, and Summer Vibes in a Ever-Pretty Dress (AD)


My Latest Adventures

Between some family events and a recent trip to Copenhagen, I’ve barely had a minute to catch my breath. That trip, though—it was amazing. We went to celebrate my son’s first birthday, and it turned into this perfect little getaway. Exploring the city, soaking in the sights, and just being with my family made it so special. It’s also got me super excited for summer coming up. Oh, and heads-up—keep an eye on my YouTube channel because I’ve got some new videos on the way, including stuff from the trip. Plus, I’ve got something else cool to share: I teamed up with Ever-Pretty for a collaboration, picked out a gorgeous red gown, and wore it to a wedding recently. I’m excited to tell you all about it!

Copenhagen and My Son’s Big Day

So, Copenhagen—where do I even start? We’d been planning this trip for a while, and it was everything I’d hoped for. My son turned one, and I wanted to do something fun to mark it, not just stay home with the usual cake and balloons. The city’s so pretty—those colorful buildings along the water, the cool parks, and just the vibe of it all. We stayed pretty relaxed, walking around, checking out little cafes, and letting my son have his moment. He’s too young to get it, obviously, but I loved watching him take it all in—pointing at boats, giggling at pigeons, the whole thing.

The landscapes were unreal—green hills, water everywhere, and the air felt so fresh. It was the kind of break I didn’t know I needed. After a busy few months, it was nice to just slow down and be with my family. My husband and I took turns chasing our son around, snapping pics, and eating way too much Danish pastry. I’d sit—coffee in hand, him napping in the stroller—and think: this is it, this is what I want to remember. It’s got me pumped for summer too—those long, warm days I can’t wait to dive into again. I’ll be posting some videos from the trip on YouTube soon—nothing fancy, just us wandering around—so keep an eye out if you want to see more.

Ever-Pretty and the Red Gown

Okay, let’s switch gears—I’ve got something else exciting to talk about. A little while back, I got an email from Ever-Pretty, this dress company I’d heard of but never tried. They wanted to collaborate and asked me to pick one of their dresses to feature. I was so flattered! Their stuff’s a bit on the pricey side, but the designs are gorgeous, so I said yes and started browsing. It took me forever to decide because they’ve got so many options, but I landed on this red gown that just spoke to me. When it showed up, I couldn’t stop smiling—it’s stunning.

The dress is long, with these cool ribbon details that make it stand out. It’s got this sophisticated vibe, but it doesn’t feel stiff or overdone. I wore it to a wedding a couple weeks ago, and I got a bunch of compliments, which made me feel great. People were like, “Where’d you get that?” and “You look amazing!”—stuff like that. It’s funny because Ever-Pretty’s dresses aren’t cheap, but they’ve got variety—everything from simple to super fancy—so it’s perfect for special occasions like weddings. I’d stand—mirror quick, twirling a bit—and think: yeah, this was a good pick.




Why I Love This Dress

One thing I always look for in a dress is comfort, and this one’s got it. The fabric’s so smooth—it feels nice against my skin, not scratchy or tight like some dresses can be. That’s probably my favorite part—how I can wear it and still feel relaxed, not like I’m stuck in something stiff all night. I’d move—dancing at the wedding, sitting for dinner—and love it: no tugging, no fuss, just easy. It’s beautiful too—the red’s this rich, romantic color that makes me think of Valentine’s Day or just being in a warm, happy mood. I’d catch—my reflection, a quick smile—a vibe that’s not loud but lovely, a dress that’s made me feel good every time I’ve worn it.

The fit’s almost perfect—it hugs in the right spots, flows where it should—but I’ve dropped a little weight lately, so the back’s a tiny bit loose now. I’m planning to get it adjusted soon because it’s too nice not to wear perfectly. It’s cool how well-made it is—you can tell it’s built to last, and I like that it can shift with me as my size changes. I’d think—stitching tight, fabric smooth—this is quality, a piece I’d keep for years. What about you guys—what’s your go-to look this season? I’d love to hear what you’re into fashion-wise—drop it in the comments!

Life’s Been Busy Lately

This whole thing—trip, dress, videos—it’s happened while life’s been kind of a lot. We got back from Copenhagen a few days ago, and I’ve been jumping between unpacking, family stuff, and just keeping up with my son. He’s two—full of energy—and it’s been nonstop since his birthday. I’d chase—park quick, toys flying—a routine that’s fun but tiring. Then there’s the everyday stuff—cooking, cleaning, making sure we’re all good—which I’ve been handling solo more since my husband’s been pitching in less with work picking up.

The weather’s been a mix too—some sunny days in Copenhagen, but back home, it’s turned cooler, a shift I’m still getting used to. I’d look—clouds soft, breeze sharp—and miss summer already, that warmth I’d soak in. These videos, though—they’ve been a little escape, a way to hold onto the fun parts. I’d film—son giggling, us walking—and feel it: this is us, a bit of light in the swirl. I’m working on editing them now—nothing pro, just me figuring it out—and can’t wait to share them on YouTube.

Ever-Pretty Collaboration Details

Back to that dress—working with Ever-Pretty was such a cool experience. They reached out, super nice, and asked me to pick something from their site to show you guys. I’d scroll—pages full, options piling—and take forever because everything looked good. I kept going back to reds—I’ve been into that color lately, maybe because it feels warm and romantic, like summer love or something cozy. This gown popped out—long, red, with those ribbon details—and I knew it was the one.

When it got here, I tried it on right away—husband laughing, son tugging—and loved it. It’s fancy but not too much, perfect for a wedding or any big event. I wore it to this wedding last weekend—outdoors, evening soft—and it was a hit. People kept saying how pretty it was, how it stood out without being loud. I’d smile—feeling good, chatting up—and think: Ever-Pretty knows what they’re doing. It’s not cheap—takes a bit of a budget—but the variety’s there, and it’s worth it for something special.

Comfort and Style Combined

The comfort—it’s what sold me. I hate dresses that pinch or itch, and this one’s the opposite. The fabric’s silky, smooth, and it moves with me—not stiff or clingy. I’d wear—dancing slow, sitting long—and love it: no pulling, no fuss, just easy. That’s my favorite thing—feeling pretty without feeling trapped. The red’s got this vibe—like a warm hug, a romantic glow—that makes me happy every time I put it on. I’d catch—mirror quick, a twirl—and feel it: relaxed, beautiful, a mix I’d not trade.

The fit’s great—hugs my waist, flows down—but I’ve lost a few pounds lately, so the back’s a little off now. I’d tug—checking it, figuring—and decide: needs a tweak. I’m taking it to get altered soon because it’s too good not to fit just right. It’s nice knowing it’s built to last—I’d see—stitches tight, fabric strong—a dress I’d wear again and again. What’s your favorite trend right now? I’d love to swap ideas—tell me what’s got you excited style-wise!

Copenhagen Highlights

The trip—it’s still on my mind. Copenhagen’s so charming—those colorful houses by the river, the parks, the laid-back feel. We didn’t rush—walked a lot, ate pastries, watched boats go by. My son’s birthday was the big thing—I’d set—cake small, smiles big—a quiet celebration with just us. He’s two, so he didn’t get the fuss, but he loved chasing ducks and pointing at everything. I’d snap—phone quick, him giggling—a stash I’ll turn into videos soon.

The landscapes—green hills, water sparkling—were my favorite. I’d sit—son napping, coffee warm—and soak it in: peaceful, fresh, a break I’d needed. It’s got me excited for summer—those long days I can’t wait to dive back into. I’d think—sun high, air light—how it’ll feel to be out again, bags packed, adventures on. The videos—they’re coming, just me figuring out edits—so watch my YouTube if you want a peek.

Why Style Matters to Me

This dress, the trip—it’s all tied to how I see style. It’s not just clothes—it’s how I feel, how I mark these moments. That red gown—wedding soft, compliments humming—made me feel good, confident, like I’d picked something that’s me. I’d wear—park casual, dinner sharp—and know: it’s my way, a hum that’s not loud but true. Copenhagen—son’s birthday, family close—lit that too: style’s in the everyday, the stuff I’d keep close.

Ever-Pretty’s gown—it’s fancy, sure, but it’s real, a piece I’d live in for nights that matter. I’d think—fabric smooth, fit close—how it’s comfort and beauty, a mix I’d chase. Life’s full—events whirl, trips hum—but style? It’s my thread, a way to say: this is me, this is us. I’d love—your takes, your trends—a chat to share what’s lighting you up too.

Wrapping It Up

So, that’s where I’m at—fresh from Copenhagen, loving this red gown, filming my family more. Life’s been busy—husband’s work, son’s chaos—but these moments—trip bright, dress sharp—they’ve kept me going. I’d record—son laughing, us walking—a stash I’ll share on YouTube soon. Stay tuned—it’s just me, nothing pro, but it’s us. Ever-Pretty’s collab—it’s a win, a gown I’d cheer, a style I’d live. Here’s to it—trips, dresses, a summer I’d chase—hope you’re with me for the ride!
