PV Wishes
Officially counting down the days until I get to spend some much needed time in Puerto Vallarta with a handful of super entertaining ladies. We will be sunning and causing lots of mischief, and I so wish I could pack these gems below to join us!

Starring: Gladiators in gladiators
I'm obsessed with the TV show Scandal right now, and they call themselves gladiators.....so I am thus calling myself a gladiator because.... yeah. There are also these sandals we call gladiators too, and they are quite popular once again this summer. I've never gone for the really tall kind myself, but I can certainly appreciate a gal who does. They are bold and fun....I say go for it, gladiators!
shop the looks

Never had Gladiator wine, but there's no discriminating. All wines are welcome here.

Starring Swim and Schutz
One-pieces will rule the world one day if only I can start by convincing more of my friends to start wearing them with me. Every time I think I want to buy a bikini, I just find them so predictable and too plain.
I fell in love with these 2 one pieces, and then I fell for both of the Schutz wedges, so we all had to get married. And because I don't believe in drinking red wine while laying out, I have paired them nicely with a white blend by Evolution and a Rose by Apothic.

Starring: Sky and Fire
The combo of chambray and deep red just makes me plain ole happy. It's like mixing the calm sky with a burning fire. It ends up being classic, but still stands out. In the below outfits I specifically chose light denim - solely for my love of denim and its versatility. All are paired with a neutral shoe to keep the red in spotlight.
The jewelry in this post are from my favorite brand Dannijo. I love them for their creating sustainable economic opportunity for women in underdeveloped areas of the world. All packaging is handmade in Rwanda as part of their women's empowerment initiative.
And don't forget the WINE!
I did a similar post HERE on denim and white =)

Wedding on a Lime....I Mean Dime
I hope this isn't bad luck! I am not in a relationship, so playing wedding better not curse me or anything. But, one of my best friends is getting married, and wedding is on le brain. It got me thinking about how much money a wedding can cost and would it be possible to do a chic wedding for less? I always had grandiose images of my may never happen wedding, but as I was browsing ASOS recently, I noticed they have some adorable, affordable dresses that would be perfect for a wedding party. So I accepted the challenge...and along the way fell in love with the color LIME. The fact that it rhymes with dime was just gosh darn lucky =)
Note: splurging on bride's necklace and her bouquet. It is a wedding after all!

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?!

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. =)

Starring: Denim + White. Always Right.
I probably wear a white shirt of some kind at least 2 times a week. I would wear them more if I did laundry more ;)
The best part of a classic white shirt and denim bottom means you can accessorize however you want: Feminine with tans/brights/and heels or edgy with chunky shoes and jewelry. The accessories will define the outfit, but the foundation of good denim and a white top can go really far.

Starring: The Wedge Sandal
One sunny weekend afternoon, my friend and I were having a long leisurely lunch at the mall. We had been shopping around, so naturally we began discussing our fashion dislikes. I think we agreed on full length jumpers being one of the hardest things to pull off, but wedged sandals put a little wedge between us. I'm not a super huge fan, being that of the 80 pairs of shoes in my closet, maybe only 2 have a wedge. However, she pictures a Joe Dirt/My Name is Earl kind of lady...which 90% of wedges give me the same feeling...but the other 10% kind of rock. Today I want to show the awesome side of wedges - the beachy, bohemian possibilities they posses....not to mention height + comfort = score.
