Floral stems

Hi guys!  Sorry about my absence... but I just got back from a little vacay.  The Pirate whisked me off to Oahu for my Purrty Thrity!!  I had an amazing time celebrating with my boo. 30 feels great!!!  And in all honesty, I still feel like I'm 25... and I look it too, right? Haha. I kid, I kid! 

The last day on Oahu we played tourist and walked around Waikiki and visited all the shops and people watched.  You can't tell (by the last photo), but Waikiki is always packed.  Always.  It's rare that we even venture to this part of Oahu, but we had a fun time. :)  Well, I'm back to the daily grind today.  Wishin' you all a happy week.  I'll be sharing a few snaps from my trip later on this week.  Have a great day, guys!

Gold & Black

Gold and Black is probably one of my favorite color combos.  I don't wear it too often, but when I do, there's just something about the pairing that makes me feels amazingly luxe!  What is your favorite color combo?

This week, I'm celebrating the death of my 20's! I can't believe that by week's end, I'll have to say goodbye to such an awesome decade of my life. Yeah yeah, I'm just being overly dramatic, but hey, it's my almost birthday, I can cry if I want to. All jokes aside, I'm thrilled to see what my 30's will bring me. Thirty is the new Twenty, right?

Have a great day, loves!  See ya soon.

Lemony layers

A denim jacket is surely a summer essential.  I've had this one for years.  I love the cropped length and that it cinches at the waist.  And how cool is the floral studded applique!?!  I knew this jacket was meant to be paired with my new dress from Sugar Lips.  I love how the lemony chiffon layers are cut at different lengths which add a fun and sexy element.  Check out Sugar Lips, they have lots of great pieces and free shipping, too.  I'm totally eyeing this dress; so perfect for a summer picnic with some friends.

I got these heels a few weeks ago.  I've tried breaking them in, but they are definitely cab to curb heels.  They are probably the highest heels I own.  They're so pretty, so I need to wear them, and by wear them, I mean, to the office, while I sit on my bootay all day. :)  I love you, Mr. Campbell, even though my footsies hurt in these bad boys!

Floral overload

What better way to start off the week than with some floral overload!  I put together this look without thinking too much and I actually like the outcome.  Sure, at first glance it looks like there's a lot going on, but I think that's why it works.  Hey, if you own it and make it werk, it's bound to be a winner.

My mom and I went shopping over the weekend and treated me a few pairs of fun and quirky drugstore sunnies.  I love the over sized angular shape.  For less than five bucks, they keep the sun out of my eyes and keep me lookin' supah fly! ;)  And these fuchsia wedges paired perfectly with the look.

Here's to a fab week, loves!

Rose

I remember scooping these pants up at Nordstrom rack nearly two years ago.  This was the second time wearing them and I don't know why I haven't worn them more.  They are so unbelievably comfy and although they're technically harem pants,  they don't give me a case of poop-pant-itis.  Naturally, I wanted to pair the pants with something floral and feminine.  This rose print tank with frill and the rosette cropped jacket fit the bill, perfectly!  I also finally broke in my new mint Zara sandals.  And I think this over sized white envelope clutch tied the whole look together quite nicely. :)

Happy Hump Day, loves!! Catch you in a few....  muah.

Sunshine on my feet

Happy Aloha Friday, guys!

It's been super hot lately and not a trade wind to be found.  While I'm stocked up on lots of shorts for the summer, I still love to put on a pair of comfy jeans now and then.  These boyfriend jeans satisfy my jean craving without me sweating bullets.  Paired with fun animal print top and neon espadrille wedges, it made for a nice causal Friday look for the office.  These wedges are super fun.  They're like sunshine on my feet!!  Blindingly delightful! :)

Hope you guys have a fun filled weekend!  See ya next week.

White stripes

I can't believe how fast the months are passing by.  Is it really July? Wowie!  July is one of my favorite months of the year.  It's my birthday month!  This year is a pretty special birthday.  I'll be 30!  30 is the new 20, right? lol.  Or do only people that turn 30 say that?  Haha.  I'm super excited to celebrate this year... and hopefully the Pirate will whisk me away to Oahu to celebrate my Purrrrty Thirty!  Yippee.

I got this dress a couple weeks ago.  It'll easily become my new favorite maxi dress.  It's so soft, lightweight, doesn't wrinkle, and hello, it had me at stripes!  I love how it also came with this chic rope belt with gold hardware.  Total nautical vibe.  I also picked up this adorable Celine-esque bag.  It could totally be the cousin to the coveted (mini) Celine Luggage tote, right?  Maybe one day, I'll get the real deal.  

Wanna wish my U.S. readers a Happy 4th of July, tomorrow!  Have fun celebrating America's birthday!  Yay, another reason why I love July. :)
