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! ;)

Rose Garden

Springtime is just around the corner and what better way to greet her than with this beautiful WonderlandHonolulu rose garden kimono.  Isn't it so beautiful?  Not only is the print so freaking fantastic, but this kimono is super versatile.  You can throw it over anything and it makes your outfit a million times better.  I can't wait to wear the heck out of this!  If you're on Oahu check out Homecoming to stock up on some WonderlandHonolulu steeze.  Or if you're far far away and have no access to the baddest shop in China town, following Homecoming on Instagram and they're gladly help you with a phone order. You can thank me later. :)

Switch Up

I wore this last week to keep warm, but made sure I wasn't too clothed in case the sun decided to come out.  No luck.  It rained like cats and dogs all last week and I'm happy to say that after weeks of living in a soggy paradise, the sun finally made a cameo today.  Here's hoping that he'll stay.  On a bag related matter, I need a new one.  I'm sure you're tired of seeing my same ol' Zara bag from last season.  I'll try to switch it up for my next post, but no promises.

Checkmate

After years of long locks, I finally decided to take the plunge and chop it all off.  Alright, not all of it, but I did manage to say farewell to 12" of  hair, with the exception of my bangs.  I'll never tire of my full fringe, it's my signature look. I feel fresh, renewed, and updated.

See this dress here?  I made it months ago, and it was inspired by the Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 RTW collection. It's a great little number that can be dressed up or down.  I prefer pairing it with sneaks for a more sporty feel. And don't you just love the seamless pocket?  I'm in love. One thing I would change though, would be the fabric choice; poly satin does not mix well with tropical weather.  Sigh.

All Day I Dream About...

Hey guys!  Sorry for the lack of updates this week.  School, work, and some side projects have definitely kept me busy.  I'm so thankful for weekends.  On weekends, I ditch the heels and make sure I have some cool and comfy kicks to cruise around town in.  New in, these Adidas Superstar sneaks.  They were out in women's sizes, so I picked these up in the kid's section.  Same shoe and half the prize, definite win on my end.  Hope you're all having a great weekend!

A "DUH" Moment

I have a funny story to share with you.  A few years ago, we were watching the Super Bowl at my in-laws.  I was excited to watch the Super Bowl, even though I'm not very football savvy.  In all honesty, I was more interested in the halftime show and the new commercials... oh and getting my grub+drink-on, of course.  I'm not sure what quarter it was or what down, but I noticed that they "marked" the field with a bright yellow line to indicate the down.  Then, I saw that the bright yellow line MOVED!  I was in awe at how fast "they" were able to move the line.  I asked my sister-in-law how they did it so quickly.  She turned to me with a "WTF, are you kidding me?" look and asked if I was serious.  Clearly, I was.  Apparently, that bright yellow line wasn't really being marked on the field.  I'm sure a part of me knew that, and perhaps I was experiencing a "DUH" moment, but boy, did I feel like an idiot. Ha!  To this day, I still laugh about it. :)

Are you watching the Super Bowl today?  If so, who are you rooting for?

Weekend Uniform

This outfit was pretty much what I wore all weekend long.  The over-sized sweater and faux leather jogger shorts fit the bill for the chilly and rainy weather we've been experiencing.  Sure, I'm wearing shorts, but these kept my bootay warm and toasty.  I'm not going to lie, these shoes aren't very rainy-weather-friendly, but they are my current faves and the newest addition to my JC family.  The cut-outs make them oh-so-perfect to wear year round. The heel height, or lack there of, allow for hours of gallivanting around the town, without sore little piggies at the end of the day.  What did you do this weekend?

Casual Fridays

This is normally the uniform of choice on Fridays.  Instead of the normal jeans and tee combo, this week I opted for an elevated rendition and threw on a pair of rad leather leggings.  I love the combined fabrics and you can bet I'll be reaching for these leggings constantly.  What does your Friday outfits consist of?

Happy Weekend-ing, guys!

The Cat's Meow

I've always loved cats and had a few growing up, but it's been years since a furry feline has lived with me.  I wish I could adopt a cat, but it's impossible with a hubby who's allergic to cats.  Perhaps, getting a Balinese or Bengal would solve both our problems (hint, hint).  When I saw this dress on the H&M website this summer, it was without a doubt that I had to get my paws on it.  It's been in super heavy rotation since getting it 5 months ago, so much so that I have to wash it every week. LOL!  Surprisingly enough, it's still in perfect condition; no pilling or seams coming undone.  Bravo H&M!

If you've been following me for a while now, you know I'm a fan of all things DIY.  Lately, I've been making personalize wire name bracelets.  I actually taught myself how to make these a little over a year ago.  I really enjoy creating them.  Customized orders are welcomed, if you're interested.  Hope you guys are having a great week so far. Chat soon!

No Rest for The Rad

While lurking around Instagram (yeah, you know you do it too), I discovered this rad online shop called, Top Knot Goods.  This tee is probably one of the raddest tees I own.  Literally.  It is soooo good, I order two; one for me and one for the Pirate.  You know what they say about couples who dress alike!?!

What awesome online shops have you came across lately?  I'd love to know.  I'm limited with where I can shop out here in the middle of the Pacific, so your suggestions are welcomed and highly anticipated! :)  Hope you guys are enjoying the long weekend!

Rips and Kicks

Over the past couple of months I've noticed my style has becoming less feminine.  I've gravitated toward more boy-like aesthetics and have incorporated a lot of black (and white) into my wardrobe.  Don't get me wrong, I still love a great fit and flare dress and if it came down to it, I'm sure I'd pick a ultra girly look over something a little more edgy.  That's what I love about personal style, you don't have to limit yourself to just one specific genre.  It's great to experiment and try out new silhouettes.  Stepping out of your comfort zone (and not just in fashion) is always a good thing.

Pret-A-Partay

Hi guys!  How have you been?  I've been a busy bee, hence the lack of attention on this blog.  I going to find the time to blog more.  I promise!  If you want to keep up with what's going on with me, don't forget to follow me on Instagram: @elisharon. :)  Btw, to my U.S. readers, how was your Thanksgiving?  I hope you enjoyed and got your fill of turkey and pies! Oh! and anyone braving the crowded stores today?  If so, what did you score?

Here's an outfit from last week.  I can't seem to find my camera, so you'll have to pardon these iPhone pics. >_<

Paisley

Do you ever feel like you have absolutely nothing to wear?  Don't get me wrong, my closet overfloweth, but there are mornings where I feel like it is impossible to get dressed and feel good about it.  On those days, I normally opt for my fail-safe combo;  a t-shirt, preferably with a cool design or print (or there have been times I'll steal one out of the hubby's closet), skinnies, and heels.  Luckily, I didn't come across the nothing-to-wear dilemma when putting together this look.  I received this tee from CHOIES the other day and had to wear it right away.  I love the dope bandana print.  And of course to keep it a little more me, I injected a bit of color with these plum skinnies and finished the ensemble off with my trusty patent wedges.  Check out CHOIES for tons of amazing pieces.  I'm totally lusting for these cut-out boots.

Hi Guys!  I have not abandoned my blog.  I've just been so busy.  I can't believe I didn't blog for the whole month of September.  My apologies.  :/  I promise to be a better blog.

These pics were from brunch yesterday.  Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day?!  When you live in the land of the Eternal Summer, you can surely wear white whenever you please. :)  I love this tee from Sincerely Jules.  The quality is superb and I'm all about supporting one of my favorite bloggers and the fact that they are made in the US is an extra bonus.  I'll keep it short and sweet. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!! Chat soon, lovelies.
