New dress - LOVE, belt - purse strap! Jessica Simpson bag, purse - Lulu's Townsend, shoes - Aldo, necklace - Aldo, watch - Style & Co. , ring - Miami boutique
You probably recognize this beautiful LOVE dress ❤ I bought it about a month and a half ago when it was truly all the rage (on other fashion blogs), but I've been saving it for the perfect location. What amazed me, is that although it is gorgeous in person (I stopped one woman in her tracks ...she literally had her mouth open in awe the whole time I was walking past her) it really photographed more beautifully than anything else I've ever taken photos with. The material shines and flows in the most goddess-like way.
Oh and did my belt confuse you? As to... how does it even work? Well it's not really a belt :) I have this bulky Jessica Simpson bag which just doesn't seem to work with a long strap, and so I took it off --and although I had a bit of trouble getting the clasps to hook onto the strap, it pretty much worked out perfectly!
One more thing: Lydie of Art Becomes You, did a feature on me, and she really put it together in such a pleasant way, with both photos and my Q&A. If you are interested in learning a bit about me, you can check it out here!
P.S I just added my url watermark to these photos, and want to know what you think! Sometimes people post my pictures and there is no return link, so I thought it would be good to put it on the photos themselves like I've seen a few others do. The only problem is... I think I picked a font that is a tad hard to read and for some reason (I thought all the photos were the same size?) it looks bigger on some and smaller on others. What do you think about putting watermarks on your photos? Do you do it?
Now here it is, just as I promised: 
You can even get the same dress I am wearing here :)
Don't forget the first four steps are mandatory!
The giveaway ends the night of Monday, May 9! Best of luck to everyone :)

My gosh. This is stunning! The dress is so beautiful on you, the color and the fabric and the design! I can't believe that is a purse strap, lol. What a great idea though! It looks so cool and it really helps bring the outfit together!
Where is this location at? And can anyone go there?? It's so beautiful!
And thanks for this giveaway!!! omg! Very exciting!

You look stunning! It's funny when I was collaborating with Love I chose the same dress, but I guess they send me the crinkle berry one by mistake, lol)
Entered the giveaway - one cannot have too many dresses from Love
you look amazing!
Such a gorgeous dress! I fell in love with that same Love dress when I first saw it a while ago on another blog too. It's just jawdroppingly beautiful! You picked the perfect backdrop to wear that dress. Gorgeous location! Is that somewhere in the bay?

Gorgeous love the dress. Beautiful color on you!! xx

love the dress on you. & i am not a fan of watermarks, but i get the need for it. esp. with sites like weheartit and tumblr where people don't credit/link sources back to its origin source. but whats worse is when people on tumblr put their own url/blog in the source link when photos aren't theirs.
but even with watermarks, i think people also just crop it out, like this photo: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/starlite714/DSC_3732.jpg i noticed that you didn't put your watermark on there. photos like these are always circulating on tumblr/weheartit without sources. & can also be cropped from the full photos which included the watermarks.
xsorry for the long comment.
That dress looks so soft and comfortable, and it looks great on your skin tone. And I really like how you made the bag strap into a belt!
Wow .. this dress is amazing~ and you're right .. it photographed beautifully .. but let's give some credit to the model also~ I don't think it would've been as stunning if I were wearing it!! LoL .. bag strap for a belt?? Ingenious!! It goes so well with the dress too~ You have a wonderful fashion sense!
I think you should watermark your photo's, so people who see them will know where they're from~
Cute look! I love the romantic feel of the dress!

that dress is gorgeous! The fact that you repurposed the purse strap as a belt is TOO COOL. and perfect with the shoes :) you are literally so beautiful. and your right...the dress photographs perfectly!
About the "watermarking" i think it's okay ifyour URL is different sizes. I didn't even notice! I think it's a good idea...you get credit for your images that way!

Hey Jessica! Just stumbled across your blog. Before even reading your "about me" section, I knew you were referring to "half/mixed" in your blog name. I love it!! I'm from Hawaii (and still live here). It's such a beautiful place to live and as local's we sometimes take it for granted, but we are truly blessed. :)
I love your style. Simple, classic, and chic... with a bit of trend. And girl, you are gorgeous!! Seriously. Lookin' forward to seeing more posts from ya.. New follower here. Yippee!
Hope your day is going great so far. Kisses from Maui!
xx Love & Aloha

you look stunning dear <333 super love that dress and i myself think it's no matter to put your url in your photos :)
thank you for taking the time to comment on my page. came back and i noticed that due to the excitement of leaving a comment the first time that i totally forgot to hype your beautiful look on lookbook. & the font size looks the same to me in the photos (except maybe in the third photo, but i would have never noticed had you not pointed it out) and it isn't hard to read (at least for me). but i hope watermarking works for you and that when people take your photos they still link it back to your blog :)
omg shut the front door! i saw this look on lookbook and totally fell in love with it and hyped it, then stumbled across your blog from your comment on another! toooo funny! seriously in love with this look, you look like a goddess! Hugs from California! xx,
The Golden Girls
Thank you sweet for your lovely comment!! <3 I really LOVE your style and your beautiful pictures on lookbook! You look so amazing in this dress, just like princess, yess!! :)

Hey luv, your dress is so romantic and pretty, and you look like a princess.
Were the photos taken on top of V bar in Santana Row? The backdrop is beautiful, best suited for a beautiful model :)
I actually had this same dilemma when I started my blog...to WM or not to WM...I started out doing it and read a lot of reviews on others' opinions on watermark. I think it all boils down to your personal preference. I decided not to use it because it became a pain in the ass (lol) and if someone really want to steal photos, they have ways of removing it...

Soooo cute and lovely! Beautiful dress! :) ... and congrats for the post about you and your blog on "Art becomes you"! ;) Check out my latest updates if you want! ;)

WOW Jess, you absolutely look like a princess here frm those fairy tale stories! LOL =p
& LOL at the bag's strap!
I think it's a great idea to put watermark on all your pics as you don't want ppl to just take them without giving you credits! =) Maybe I should put it on my pics too ...not that anyone would take it HAHA =p
The dress is lovely. Semi-maxi dress is so in the trend this summer!
How I wish I can win this :) Thanks for the generous giveaway!!
