Happy Memorial Day!

Remembering today all those who were lost while serving this great country and sending my love to their families and loved ones.  I am so proud to be from such an incredible country where men and women are so brave and giving.  Wishing you all a safe and happy memorial day!

Hey hey Vacay

Packing for my memorial day vacation to Florida with the fam has me dreaming up all kinds of outfits perfect for this holiday. I ended up buying 5 swimsuits and not much else...go fig.

If I lived here..



If I live here, eclectic would be my word.  I'd wear all kinds of hats, literally and figuratively.  I'd be an artist, traveler, dancer, writer, musician, and teacher. A jack of all trades and inspired by everything, my life would be full of dreams and ambition.  My art of choice is mixed media, and I'd have a fabulous studio out in the back yard.  The items I pick up from globe trotting are used frequently in my projects, and my travels and crafts are what inspire my monthly online magazine that I publish.  At night I am in a band as well as a modern dance company, and I occassionally teach classes on painting and ballet.  Always looking for the next project and adventure, I am dragging around my writer boyfriend all across the world.  Thankfully he writes short stories and can work anywhere, so we travel at the drop of one of my many sun hats.  We especially frequent South America where he is from and where I draw a lot of my inspiration.  Always ready for life to take us far away, we've got our vintage LV bags packed to the brim and our minds open to wherever life might lead us next. Bring it on.

We're all a little bit country

Well, at least I am!

I am always inspired and influenced by country western.  Heck, I own at least 6 pairs of cowboy boots that should really see the light of day more often.  Also, when stage coach rolls around, I am pretty amazed at how many people bust out their western fashion senses....so maybe ya'll are a wee bit country!

A woMAN Cave

What's leathery with raw hide, brown and cream, and splashes of turquoise? A woman cave of course. ;)

I started this room trying so hard to make it masculine, but let's face it...I'm a girl.  Also, what percentage of men successfully decorate without some female touches? I've known like 2, maybe 1.

It's my man cave meets Texas meets my sorority colors.  Full hearts, clear eyes.

Starring: Off the Shoulder

I'm really feeling the off the shoulder look.  I bought 1 dress from Anthro (not pictured because the model put the dress on her shoulders...silly girl) recently and am aching for more....

I suppose I'm also feeling quite peachy, lacey, and rose gold...y

Time to brush those shoulders off...literally ;P

Wishlist: Vacation Nights & Vacation Brights

17 days till I'm off to Florida with the fam, and I am beyond stoked! However, after having a taste of heat recently, I pulled out my cute skirts and dresses to wear only to find they don't fit! Does this count as first world problems? Anyway, losing weight is a glorious thing, don't get me wrong....but for someone who loves fashion as much as I, losing a large percentage of my wardrobe is heartbreaking. After I raid a couple buffalo exchanges, and alter a few of my favorite things, these items are definitely on my wish list...

Spotlight: Pineapples

Anyone else have PINEAPPLES on the brain?  If so, it's because they are everywhere and this summer's most popular fruit.  Makes me thirsty...do you like pinacoladas, or getting lost in the rain?
