Happy May!

W.O.W.  I can't believe it's been a month since my last entry.  Slacker is totes my middle name.  Eeps!  I promise that this summer my blog will be popping with tons of my sartorial adventures.  Get ready, I'll redeem myself and revive the blog.  The time spent away from my beloved blog has been filled with work, school, tons of sewing!!, fashion shows, side orders, and an Oahu trip. Yes, I just got back, and boy, did I have a blast!

I got to meet up with my bestie boo, Mae, got our grub on and had so much fun talking and laughing, we forgot to take a photo together. :(.  Visited my other boo, Emilie and shopped at her rad shop, Homecoming.  Got to meet Emilie's shopgirls, the super amazing, bubbly, and gawgus, Gabriela and the cute patootie, Raella.  AND I finally met up, in real life!, the supah gorgeous Tiff and of course shopped and celebrated 7 years of amazingness in her shop, Bamboo Sky.  Happy to have seen the beautiful, Adele, too, even if it was for a short time.  Oh and I even met the lovely, Salem.  She totes knows how to work the runway!  On top of meeting all these fabulous beauts, I even got spotted at the HCC Fashion Show by a couple of my readers.  It's was surreal, humbling, and flattering.  Thanks so much for supporting me and my little ol' blog!  :)

Well, I'd love to share with you guys a small collection that The Pirate and I worked on (in four days, mind you) for our college's (UHMC) Fashion Technology fashion show.  We played with longer lengths, layered pieces, and one of our favorite trends, print mixing.  Enjoy...

Love, S

Hey Shorty!

With more free time on my hands, I'm hoping to get my booty back to the gym.  The one exercise that I dislike the most, but what I feel my body needs the most are lunges & squats.  Ugh. It makes me cringe just thinking about it.  But seriously, if I'm going to be sporting all the shorts that I've recently bought, I need to lose some inches in my thighs and get them toned.... because really, the world ain't ready for this jelly.

These are one of the shorts I recently added to my summer wardrobe.  I love the fit and print.  And since I'm on a print mixing kick as of late, I couldn't resist pairing these shorts with these striped wedges that MyHotShoes recently sent over.  MyHotShoes is offering my readers a sweet deal, 20% off any shoe or shoes your heart desires!  Just use the promo code: SHARON2 at check  out.  Happy Shopping!

Print Mixing

I wore this to work, yesterday.  I made this tweed jacket last year and it finally made its debut.  Let me tell you, I'm so thankful for an air conditioned office, because with the temperatures rising, there is no way I could wear this jacket outside.  You can't really tell in the photos, but the jacket has a peter pan collar and over sized covered buttons.  Because I didn't line it, it's on the itchy side, but there is the fun surprise element of the electric orange binding on the inside.  Cute and unexpected, right?

Well, I hope you lovelies have a great Memorial day weekend.  Have fun and be safe!  And of course, Happy Aloha Friday.  Oh and guess what!?!  It's my grandma's birthday today. She's 88 years young!  So cool!
