Hey Babes,
I'm back with the 2nd way (see 1st way HERE) that I styled my newest pair of gingham shorts (see another pair styled HERE)! For this look, I opted to take a roll in blue by way of statement bauble earrings, a striped OTS (off the shoulder) top, plus blue satin/strappy heels.
Which look is your favorite - Take 1 or Take 2?
Until next time,

Was I the only one struggling with a return to the office this week after the 4th? 👀 It was so odd that the holiday fell smack dab in the middle of the week! I'm in the middle of several important projects at work, taking the entire week off simply was not an option. To ease my disappointment, I decided to make the best of it, which of course includes what else, DRESSING UP- LOL! I snagged this two piece set c/o HERE & HERE a little over a month ago, but this was my very first opportunity to wear it out. I sized up because I wasn't familiar from firsthand experience with how the sizing ran with this brand. You'll be happy to know that I found sizing to be true to size, I will have these pants altered, and order my regular size the next time around. I kept the look simple, styling the se with a white blazer, blue bauble earrings + satin sandals, and one of the bags that I snagged from the Cult Gaia Sample Sale (I chatted about it in detail on my Instagram Stories) here in Los Angeles 😍

Until next time Babes,

Summer Office Days

Clutch: ZARA| Shoes: Nordstrom, similar HERE & HERE

Speaking of summer, because today is officially the first day of SUMMER here in the States - what are a few of your favorite things to wear to the office? Summer is my favorite season! For office gear, I opt for lightweight dresses, fun bright colored jumpsuits, shorts (office appropriate of course), and flowing pants. I prefer pieces made of cotton, linen, and high quality fine rayon. Although I love the look of silk, it can be quite hot when temperatures are soaring.

The dress in today's post is ideal for a typical summer day at the office. It is made of cotton, lightly lined, heavily saturated with color, and boasts fully functional pockets - L💛VE! I snagged it via my Gwynnie Bee membership. I am loving the colorful pieces they have released thus far this year!

I usually like to style yellow items with other bold colors. For this look, I went with orange, pulling it in throughout the look with ombre earrings, a bold lip, a statement clutch, and slingback heels. 

Until next time,

Hey Babe,

I hope you enjoyed a fantastic weekend! I indulged in 'me time' to the fullest, and even managed to get in a few shots of a newbie to my wardrobe, a pale pink suit from Premme! 

When I spotted this suit online earlier this month, something about it spoke to me. It said: "Purchase me!" 😁😁😁 I was a bit iffy about which size to order, you just never know how sizes will run when you try out a brand for the very first time. I went with a size "1", as I wanted a more relaxed fit - and wouldn't you know, I was right on! 

This suit is very well made, the fabric is soft (trousers are unlined), and it is a delightful shade of pink. The biggest shocker: It has real pockets! Not only on the trousers but also on the pants!!! Seeing that I am a lover of pockets (especially functional ones), this feature is a win/win in my book- whoo hoo! For starters I styled it 3 ways, with the following themes in mind:

* What not to wear to the office
* Boss Babe
* Semi-formal night

Which one is your favorite? Meanwhile, I haven't quite decided...

Until next time,

Xx

Free Flowing

I was reminded of my adoration for palazzo pants a few months ago when I spotted a fantastic pair in lemon print online (blogged HERE). Shortly thereafter I came across  another pair in basic black, I knew that I needed to add them to my collection pronto. When they arrived in the mail I initially thought I might have to have the length altered. Imagine my surprise and elation when I tried them on - the fit AND the length was a perfect match for my body 😍 Despite their dark hue, the pants are wonderfully light weight. I was cool and comfortable (and feeling very cute 😉) on a day where temperatures soared up to 85 degrees.
For their grand debut out, I paired them with a knit, mustard colored halter top, along with tropical print fabric slides. Next time around I'm already planning to pair them with a black OTS bodysuit... Thank you to YOURS Clothing for another delightful find ❤
My one style wish: That these pants were designed with pockets. 
Until next time Babes,
Xx

All Colors

Sometimes throwing a bunch of colors together just works. Take for instance, what i'm wearing in this blog post 😁 I spy white, red, green, yellow, pink, and blue! Not to mention the colors in my backdrop...

This ensemble screams SUMMERTIME to me - probably because that is exactly what I am screaming in my head 😆 
It is 90+ degrees in LA today, I am LOVING every single bit of it!!!
Until next time,

Simple Date Night Ensemble: Subtle Print Body Con Dress

The weekend has arrived lovelies! Have you heard the song "Living for the Weekend" by The O'Jays? 
Well, it runs through my head every Friday - LOL! 
Here's a simple date night ensemble to kick start some fun in the sun ;)

I wore this dress for a fun day with my husband earlier this week while vacationing. It has thin cotton-blend fabric, which is breathable and perfect for soaring temperatures. I paired it with a pair of wedge sandals that haven't made it to my donate pile just yet (more details here), and a vintage clutch.

Sunnies: TopShop

Earrings: Aldo

Dress: Alex Marie

Wedge sandals: Dolce Vita

Clutch: Vintage

Have a great weekend Dolls!
