Skull Love

I love a fun graphic print tee, or in this case, this dope skull bone racer back tank from Alainn Bella .  It's such an easy piece to throw on and go.  I decided to add this sheer button down to add some layers, since we're still experiencing some "chilly" weather.  Alainn Bella just stocked some really cute pieces for spring and summer!  I'm really lovin' the Shark Mouth tank, Maggie Aztec dress, and the Neon plaid skirt.  Hop on over to their site to check out all the fun new arrivals!  Get shopping! Enter promo code "ELISHARON" at check to save 15% off your entire purchase.  Again, you can thank me later... preferably with macarons! ;)

Hai!

Hi guys!  Sorry for being m.i.a. all last week.  I was battling yet again another cold.  I just had the flu in April!!  Luckily this time around it was just a little cold.  I was confined to my bedroom for 4 long days.  The Pirate was a trooper and took care of me.  He also let me be extra whiny. ha ha. I kid! well, half kid.  ^_^  My instagram, twitter, and facebook feeds were a vital part to my recovery and sanity.  It really does suck being sick and stuck in the confines of your home.  I could not wait to get up and get out!  The Pirate did boost my mood by surprising me with these new rad ass kicks.  He is the best!  Sure, my collection of Jeffrey Campbell shoes seems minuscule in comparison to JC Queen, Asami a.k.a. Pink Kitten, but these are my 7th pair of Litas.  Lucky number Seven!  I'm sure my lovely Mae and BFF are rolling their eyes in disgust.  LOL.  I'll never be able to turn them. >_<

I've been meaning to announce the winner to the Alainn Bella Giveaway!  Thank you to everyone who entered and of course big thanks to my girl, Megan for partnering up with me again.  I used random.org and the lucky winner was #47 - Wen-D!  

And don't fret if you didn't win this giveaway, I've got a couple more giveaways lined up!  Hope everyone's Monday was great!! Talk to you guys, soon.

Love, S

Blackout

Lately, I've been wanting to wear a lot more black pieces.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE color, but black is such an easy color (or lack thereof) to wear.  The key to wearing black is mixing different textures.  Megan from Alainn Bella sent over this dress.  I love the ease of the dress.  It can be dressed down or glammed up.  It's pretty enough to wear alone, but I wanted to pair it with my new-to-me leather vest that I picked up from Barrio Vintage, a super awesome vintage store located in Honolulu's china town.  And of course I had to wear my new Jeffrey Campbell shoes.  The Edea Spike is so HOT.  C'mon a wedge sneaker with spikes.  Amaze!!  The Pirate got these for me.  Seriously, the man knows the way to my heart!  Tee hee. :)

Summer stylin'

It's officially summer!  Then again, it's always summer in Hawaii.  How did you guys spend the longest day of the year?  Hope it was well spent.  I put together a few looks of what I've been crushing over as of late.  These looks totally scream summer time fun!

If you've been following me, you know right now, I'm really into the peplum trend.  Let's face it, I'm beyond obsessed with all things peplum. :)  When I spotted this coral top on Alainn Bella, I was a smitten kitten.  I dreamt of ways I'd style this beaut.  Oh! The possibilities are endless, but the this would be my ideal way... um hello, with polka jeans and a metal cap toe pointy flat, could it get any better? I think not!

{Coral Peplum Top, buy}

The high-low (hi-lo) or "mullet" trend is spotted everywhere these days.  I own a few pieces, which oddly enough haven't made any appearances on the blog yet.  This dress would be a perfect look for a night out with the Pirate or perhaps catching the flick, Magic Mike with a bunch of girlfriends (c'mon ladies, who's ready to see Mr. Tatum werrrrrrrk it!? EEP! can't wait, haha).

{Peach printed hi-lo dress, buy}

Lastly, every girl needs a little black dress.  This one is a great casual option; short, loose fitting, and lightweight.  I like the idea of wearing all black and using one key piece to add a pop of color.  And because it's summer, what better way to add color than a rad neon denim jacket!  Paired with an awesome hand bag and bad ass Jeffrey Campbell shoes you'll surely be stylin' this summer. :)

Happy Summer, guys!

Oldies, but goodies

This is a rarity on my blog.  Normally, I'm "showing off" my latest finds or newest purchase, but my outfit today was fashioned completely from pieces in my already-bursting-by-the-seams-so-why-do-I-keep-buying-stuff wardrobe.

Let me share a little story with you.  In high school, my BFF used to be a girl who never repeated an outfit in the same month.  To say I was envious of her wardrobe would be an understatement.  I, on the other hand, was that girl who would wear the same pair of shorts or jeans in the same week.  It didn't really bother me, because style comes from being able to reinvent yourself  and work with what you have, or in my case back then, what I didn't have.  Times sure have changed, because now I'm the girl who what seems like has an endless supply of clothing, shoes, and accessories at her disposal and my BFF has taken the more minimalist approach to her sartorial musings.  I've entertained the idea of really redefining my closet and editing the "unnecessary", but then I snap back into reality and realize that I love fashion and clothes (and yes I admit it, trends!) so much that I can't give up the "unnecessary".  Not just... yet.  It's definitely nice to remix old favorites. :)

What kind of closet do you have?  Overfloweth or minimalist?

I Love Olive

I surely do love Olive.  The color, the food, and even the name.  Wouldn't it be cute to name your little darling, Olive? :)

Megan over at Alainn Bella sent me this charming little number.  I love the fit, feel, flow, and print of this dress.  And it's lined too!  A+, in my book. :)  Personally, I don't wear pieces with cap sleeves, because they make my "shapely" arms look even bigger than they already are, but I think the cap on this dress, fits me quite nicely.  Cap sleeves definitely make dresses feel more feminine and delicate.  Because of the delicate vibe of the dress, I couldn't resist edging it up a bit.  I layered on my trusty safari/utilitarian-esque vest, studded belt, and JC Tardy's.  I really love this styling!  It's so ME!  However, I was going to be out and about running errands yesterday and wanted to make sure I could get them done in a jiffy, so I switched over to a pair of patent leather olive colored ballet flats and a playful belt.  A total 180 from the first look, but equally as amazing! :)  And don't you love the monochromatic palettes of both looks as well?  I surely do.  The "I Love Olive" dress is fully stock (in all sizes) at Alainn Bella.  Hop on over and get one for yourself and maybe even a friend.  Trust me, you'll love it!  Fits true to size too!  Don't forget to enter "Elisharon" at check out for your discount.

I finally picked a winner for the Alainn Bella ankle jeans.  The lucky lady is, Annette of the VersaStyle!  Congrats girl.  Can't wait to see you style these babies up.  Thanks to everyone that entered and thanks Megan for this giveaway! Muah.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, loves!
