Neon Pop!

Wearing:

Happy Monday Friends!

First, I would like to apologize for my absence from the scene. Things have been pretty hectic adapting to a new job with a new routine. But overall, I must say this was a good move for me. Being in a new environment was daunting and scary at first -- but I'm quickly becoming the city girl I always knew myself to be.

Let's talk fashion:

I love the shift dress. This one in particular is from Lulu's and I've loved it from the moment it arrived on my doorstep. This look is perfect for a casual Sunday Brunch with friends or family. As always, I'm obsessed with the blue and brown color combo! But I decided to add that extra little pop with the neon belt. This look can also be adapted for a day to night purpose by throwing on a pair of point toe pumps!

Hues of Blue

Wearing:

Cotton Tee: J. Crew | Printed Trousers: H&M | Purse: Vince Camuto | Sandals: Forever 21 | Assorted Midi Rings: H&M | Sunnies: Gap Inc. | Floral Cuff: {vintage} Forever 21

Happy first of the month everyone!

(August also happens to be my birthday month!)

So, I've been really digging the brown and blue color combo as of lately. I put this number together for a day of errands with my sisters. It's easy, it's comfortable, it's chic. I love the look of the printed trousers with a chic comfortable tee; plus you can never go wrong with sandals!

I paired this look for an easy (hot) summer day. However, the look is adaptable and can eve be converted to a night look by incorporating a white crop top and some cute heels! Throw in a clutch and you're ready for a night out!

Chambray, leopard & lace

Wearing:

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.

Cut Outs & Sequins

Wearing:

Ever have those moments you feels so confident in yourself, that nothing or no one can bring you down? I've felt these moments of absolute clarity several times in my life -- but none more than now in the belief that this is the path my life was meant to take.

I am on course.

And contrary to all the speed bumps and road blocks along the way.
An no matter what else lies ahead.

My path is clear now.

Black Pant Remix

Wearing:

Remixed:

Hot Pink Purse: Merona for Target | Leopard Pumps: Shoe Dazzle

Life isn't about getting what you want all the time. Its about loving what you have. Its about living in the moment and being grateful for those around you. Its about being who you are and enjoying every minute of it. Its about loving yourself and those around you. Life is what you make of it, so live it & love it. You only get one chance.

I love the idea of remixing your favorite pieces into different looks. It only lends to expand upon the pieces you already own in your closet. This look was adapted for both casual, and spiced up for a night on the town.

The black pant with coloful clutch, and blue flats lends and easy casual air to an already cutesy outfit. Alternately, spiced up with leopard pumps and a hot pink shoulder bag -- and you're ready for happy hour, or dinner with the girls.

Plus I love the pop of the pink, wit the elegance of the leopard.

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

Wearing:

She’s like the seasons.

She comes and goes throughout my life,

but is always constant.

The year starts miserable and cold

because the Sun is missing.

She’s gone and a its a lonely bitter place to be.

But the snow eventually melts and the world is reborn.

The Sun is back and she brings flowers in her wake.

Spring has arrived.

There is life and beauty.

And it’s because she is there.

She is the Sun in a barren landscape

that needed warmth and love.

She is everything that is bright and lovely.

But the year progresses and soon

the weather is hot enough for all day play outside.

Summer is here.

The Sun is loving everything and everyone

it can get its hands on,

and life continues on this beautiful playful path.

The Sun in vibrant and brilliant.

The year continues

and the summer playground

gives way to the autumn sorrow.

The leaves fall.

The sun doesn't shine as hard.

There is a sadness lingering in the wind.

A foreshadowing of some sorts.

The wind is pushing the last remnants of summer away.

And soon we have winter, where the Sun is leaves yet again.

The world is a cold lonely place, and there is nothing but bitter loneliness.

Jean Jacket + Maxi = Love

Wearing:

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.

Freedom of Summer

Wearing:

The measure of your beauty, is infinite. The warmth of your love is everywhere. You are bright, lovely, and beautiful. With you I am more. I am me.

With you it is as though I am truly alive. Our fire spreads through my veins, until the conflageration spreads to a roaring blaze. It spreads and infects all those around us. We are capable of spreading our warmth to the darkest coldest corners of life. Bringing the unknown, the forgotten, and the lonely places of our world to life.

With you it is as though my skin is electrified. You set sparks to my life and make it real, and adventurous. You make it something worth living, something that can be remembered. A legend.

I am incomplete without you. Your smile, is my light. Your beauty, is my world. Your love keeps me going.
