So.... 

I can't get enough of chambray, lace, and leopard. 

All 3 staple looks seem to be trending everywhere. So I put them together. I've had these lace shorts for many years, and loved the way they looked paired with the chambray. The leopard slip-on's paired with the black Celine gave my overall look a boyish edge, but still retained its feminine qualities. 

Quite simply?
I love this look. 

It's both comfortable, yet boyish chic.

Happy Independence Day America! 

So I put this number together to enjoy the long 4th of July weekend. 
I paired a light denim chambray shirt with a pair of white jean shorts, and threw a red blazer on top. 

Red, White and Blue Madam! 
At your service! 

I love that this look is casual, but still tends to give a look of sophistication and class. As though a simple blazer and statement chain (when paired properly) can speak volumes as to your type of person. 


Enjoy the weekend lovelies <3333

The Sun. 

Bright and beautiful in all its glory. 
It spreads its warmth on all who can appreciate it for what it is. 
A warmth that culminates at your toes and seeps into your very being
until all you feel is the joy of that heat. 

The Sun has only one nemesis. 
One true villain for her beauty to fear. 
The Eclipse. 

He comes slowly with the purpose of overshadowing her glory. 
He brings cold and darkness in his wake. 
He blocks out all light
 and spreads the dark cold gloom into your very soul. 
Until you are only left with the gripping fear
 that you will never see the Sun in all her beauty again. 

That her warmth will not be felt
 or her brilliance will never be experienced,
the fear that she will forever be in shadow. 

But Time will always be patient and kind. 
She will show the Eclipse his way on
and will show the Sun how to shine
 and spread her warmth again. 
Time will bring the Sun back to her glory
 and be there to steady her
 and show her what she needs. 

Time will guide the way. 
Because only Time knows how to brave the Sun’s heat. 
Only time knows how and when to spread her glory to its fullest. 
And only Time can fully appreciate the perfection that is the Sun.
