Guardians of the Galaxy World Premiere

By Erin

*I attended as a guest of Disney and am very grateful for the opportunity to do so.*

It has happened. This past week I attended my first red carpet event. Living in Southern California, not too far away from where all the action takes place in Hollywood, it is pretty commonplace to drive down Hollywood Boulevard and see another World Premiere getting ready to happen. I’m not a starstuck kind of girl, and I don’t get all freaked out and crazy like some do when there is a movie star sighting. Don’t get me wrong, I think they are super exciting, even more so now that I have actually been to one, but I am pretty grounded, so actually going to a red carpet world premiere event for a movie always seemed so far fetched and unattainable to me. Me attending the World Premiere as a guest for any movie, let alone a big production like Guardians of the Galaxy; and not just there in attendance as a fan on the other side of the fence? Yeah right. I must be dreaming. But nope. It actually happened and here’s the evidence! 😉

Marvel fans lined the streets of Hollywood Boulevard on this warm summers evening. The red carpet was rolled out for some of the biggest stars in Hollywood for the World Premiere of the Marvel film, Guardians of the Galaxy.

We watched from just feet away on the same red carpet as the stars as they walked by and were mingling with one another and being interviewed by various reporters. It was a lot to take in at once and I wanted to enjoy every second of the experience and catch whatever special moments that I could.

Summertime Chic with Cowgirl Boots & Dresses

With summer here, it is the perfect time to get those cowgirl boots out and pair them up with one of your favorite chic dresses. Living in the city, you might be thinking “Oh, those cowgirl boots you have are only good for the rodeo, horseback riding, or a square dance!” Quite the contrary! They can be used for so much more than that! The traditional iconic American image of cowboy boots with jeans, a plaid shirt, and a 10-gallon hat make it difficult for many to see cowboy boots in a different light as stylish and fashionable footwear.

I’ve set out to try to help change this mindset by gathering together some different stylish looks that you can create with your own cowgirl boots and dresses. Lets get those boots dusted off and out of the closet and into the world where they belong so that they can be seen. Pairing your boots with the perfect dresses and accessories, a number of different fashionable looks can be made to have you looking spectacular in no time. Here are my new favorite cowgirl boots below that I just picked out for the summer months. What do you think of them? Anyways, onto some different looks. Let me know your favorites!

Here are just some of the ways you can pair your cowgirl boots up with your favorite dresses!

1) Cowboy Boots with a Flowery Sundress

A floral sundress with cowboy boots looks so sweet and gorgeous. Make sure to choose a dress that is a bit below the knees rather than a maxi long dress. You don’t want to hide those boots! Let them be seen! This will also make your legs appear to look longer.

2) Rocking the Cowboy Boots with a White Dress

A simple white dress with a neutral color pair of boots, like the dark brown ones shown here will give you a very classy and elegant look. Paired with the purse and necklace leaves you with a complete country and chic outfit.

3) Little Black Dress or Cocktail Dress

A little black dress or cocktail dress to pair your cowboy boots with will leave you looking elegant and timeless. You will be ready for a night out on the town with this look for sure!
