LookBook: Tutti Frutti

I’m not sure why but I love food shaped/printed clothing and accessories.  They just make me happy in the silliest way possible!  This watermelon clutch is no different.  It’s essentially the easiest conversation starter too!!  I originally thought pairing it with this raspberry print dress would be too much but… whatever!  Summers call for flowy silk dresses.  I love how light this dress feels!  It’s going to be an easy choice for the upcoming super hot San Diego days.  Gladiator sandals are really ‘in’ right now and I like the subtlety of these ones.  They’re kind of a pain in the buns to get in and out of since there is no zipper and I have to relace them every time.  Ah the things we do for fashion.

LookBook: The Bucket Hat

I love this hat so much.  It makes me feel like a modern Downton Abby character.  Now all I need is a snooty accent!  Just kidding.  With all that in mind, it just made so much sense that we would shoot this look at the trolly station.  We even had a photo bomb from a guy passing by!  Check my Facebook or Instagram for that pic.

#OOTD: My New ‘Do

Recently, I went to see my new hair artist (because that’s the only way to describe her hair cutting skills) Candice from Goldline Salon in South Park, San Diego.  I wanted to mix things up but not go toooooo awfully crazy.  I’m ecstatic with the results!  It frames my face exactly the way I was hoping!  I think my hair is now a perfect accessory for my summer look.

High waisted flowy shorts are a perfect piece for any summer style (also worn before as a transitional piece).  Of course, I love to have some sort of sassy accessory, done here with a fun little toucan purse.  My favorite part about it is that its beak is the handle!  How hilarious is that?!  You just can’t help but get comments about it!

Up In The Air

Man, I am so not a fan of flying.  I love travel, experiencing new places and cultures, and sampling my way through new foods but I just don’t like the act of travel.  So I distract myself by taking pictures, reading magazines, and catching up on shows like Game of Thrones and The Sopranos that I’ve downloaded.  These pics are from my last flight to Washington for a bit of crabbing and 4th of July festivities.

Happy 4th of July, Lovlies!!

Right now, I’m writing this post on a ferry to Seattle to catch a late night flight home.  I’m always surprised when and where I can upload posts to my blog and all it makes me want to do is travel more.  I honestly don’t think that’s a bug that can be fixed!  I do feel better knowing we’re heading to Fiji and Australia soon but still!  Here’s to a happy, fun, and safe 4th of July to all my lovely followers!

Bird Watching in Style

My mom’s backyard could basically qualify for a bird sanctuary.  There are so many fun varieties flocking to the feeders that it’s a blast to watch them all in action.  Here I am in her backyard just relaxing on a super hot day in Southern California.  Maxi skirts are my favorite go to when the temperature rises.  I’m all for the covered yet cool styles!  And of course, a floppy hat is an absolute must!!  I’m super pale so even though I’m wearing sunscreen I like the extra protection a good hat gives me.  Not to mention it’s an easy way to add style to your look.
