Silk Petals

It’s feels a lot like Spring here in Los Angeles, a vast array of flowering trees and bushes are in full bloom. I love this time of year! If there is at least one thing that I genuinely appreciate about living in California now, it is hands down… The Weather! As a Detroiter, I was raised in brutal cold winters and regular snow falls. However, at this stage in my life I have accepted that I simply do not have a desire to tolerate that type of weather again! LOL! The past few days have been gloriously beautiful. I innately feel happier when stepping out into the inviting sunshine and warm breezes. Even a few semi-cloudy skies were breathtakingly wonderful and didn’t damper the Spring-like vibes one bit.

Silk is one of my favorite fabrics; I’d say it runs neck and neck with my love of crisp cotton. Today’s ensemble features silk on silk along with my self-proclaimed neutral hue: purple. Purple permeates my wardrobe, yet it is not my favorite color. It serves for me in a similar way as one might use black and/or grey (see here, here, and here).

Like my new hairdo?! 

Not only did I straighten it, I added a demi-permanent red color, plus wacked off a good chunk, taking me from mid back length to neck length. This isn’t my first time chop session, and I dare say it won’t be my last! I love changing up my own hair, and I'm very excited about a few more ideas up the pike…. 

Until next time Style Lovers, have a wonderful weekend!!

Exhibit Three | Sangria

Remember when: I mentioned that I recently discovered a number of Sangria (the top color forecast for Fall) colored dresses (click here and here) in my wardrobe? Well, may I present Exhibit Number Three?!

I wore this look around town on a Fall-like day here in SoCal. 
Too bad I didn't think to take a couple of pictures before my dress wrinkled ;)

Anywho, I had a yearning to pull out my denim jacket for the first time this year. The cool evening temperatures made this the perfect opportunity. 
It feels oh so good to experience a genuine cool down, and I plan to take full advantage of it.

Dress Like a Canvas

Hello Style Lovers! 
This dress reminds me of a canvas painting! I simply fell head over heels for the print and the combination of colors.This gorgeous dress is such an easy wear; It's instantly dressy and suitable for the office as well as nightlife. 

Today I'm showing how easily I transition it from day to night/evening wear-ability.

For work attire I paired it with flats and a roomy tote. I do quite a bit of walking and my tote easily carries all of my essentials.

For evening/night attire, I crave more 'fun' and less 'practical'. Can you tell what I did to transition to fun, after-work attire?

That's right! I changed up not one, but all of my accessories ;) Bring out the gold and stilettos!

A change of sunnies, jewelry, shoes, and a small clutch easily fit inside my roomy tote; I just love a large bag! If you don't carry large bags, you can always leave your change-up in the car.

Please do tell: Which look do you prefer, 'Day' or 'Night'?
