Seeing Sunsets

I will never ever ever tire of seeing a sunset.  I have raced home many times from work just so I can walk down to the marina and watch as the sun sinks down over the water.  All of the colors are so vibrant, romantic, and engulfing.  I can get lost in my thoughts, but always leave feeling optimistic and happier having just seen something so naturally beautiful.  I take a crazy number of instagrams of those sunsets that I think Rusty might be a little envious of their screen time. ;)

I am glad that others find inspiration and joy from the sunsets...let's hope this trend stays a while!

Let's Stay Home

Starring: Lady in Red

I have been on the hunt for an awesome red dress.  I don't care if it is for day or night, but I want it to be en fuego.  These 3 caught my eye, but each in their own way inspired different looks.  Even though the fancier dresses are slightly on sale (The Outnet and Farfetch), I can only afford the Susana Monaco dress.  So, I decided to run wild with the accessories as well.

PS. Those TIBI shoes would go with everything! I love love love them.

She Fancy, Huh?

I'm a girl; therefore, things that sparkle and shine tickle my fancy.  I am obsessed with chandeliers and mirrored furniture, and I have been itching to use this ABC chair in one of my rooms.  So why not go all out?! It's a blog, and I'm living out my fantasies on here, so take this room with a grain of salt.  It's all around fancy, shiny, metallic, but with a neutral pallet.  I personaly couldn't pull this room off, but some seriously glam single gal probably could! ;)

Did It. Again.

Continuing my purchasing string....I've also been getting things for my home and my enjoyment.  

Feeling wordsy I suppose!

Sorry mom and dad, but the pillow is awesome. I'm 30, so.... bought it =)

Copy that....but better & with daisies on top!

Inspired by my new skort, the warm summer air, and feeling quite fem, I wanted an easy yet playfully accessorized summer outfit.  I'm not usually one for a necklace AND earrings, but for such a simple top and bottom, why not? Now where's the beach party?!

Just Smile.

New To The Arsenal

Why, you ask, must I go shopping all the time?  Oh, because there is ALWAYS something that needs to match to something else.  I swear it is endless!  These new Sam Edelman shoes, however, go with everything!

Here's my DID IT list from the past week. Insert blushing emoji with dollar sign eyes.

Babes to the Bones

Starring: Little Black Tank Dress

I have mentioned before how much I love being a fashion chameleon, but I think this post will explain further what I mean by that.  First, you need to have the right basics to build from in order to be a successful chameleon.  Today I am highlighting my most favorite:  The Little Black Tank Dress.  Many a youngin' would just wear this as is, without any layers, but that's a wee boring...and I don't quite have the body of a teenager anymore and need things to cover me up.  Oye I sound like my mother! 

Ok let's start with the dress...

What I like about this one is that it is fitted, affordable, and best of all a mini.

Now, let's just go for a skate around Venice Beach...

This hoodie is for a child, but I am very hopeful they make extra extra large children's sizes =)

Mom, please buy me these Vans.  I NEEEEED them!**

Now, let's say I'm feeling preppy and maybe meeting my boyfriend's parents for lunch today...

One of my favorite outfits is a cropped sweater over a long button down white shirt. Never will get sick of it.

Now, it's time for a night out with the girls.  

I'm feeing trendy and rock 'n roll per my usual late night style.

You may even want to tie up that blouse to define your waist a bit.

Soooo..do you see why you need this simple black dress, yet?!? 

I hope so. I'm out of posts =)

** Needed so badly that I couldn't even wait until this post aired. Mom, don't buy them. =)

Shiny Fancy Things

To add to the list of fancy things that I want, but probably won't buy unless I can come up with a really really good reason to spend an inordinate amount of money $$$ ...which I am quite terrific at, but I will blog about these beauties for now instead.

So ME Room

If only I could change my room to be more like this! I love these colors, patterns, mixture of modern and vintage, neon lights, and rich wood.  Not to mention the $1k cashmere throw blanket...oh me oh my.  It's also the bedroom to this living room....and not even on purpose!
