Labor Day

It is time for a MUCH needed 3 day weekend.  Holy moly work and life has been tough, so I can't wait for an abundance of ocean and pool time with my bff that is coming to visit.

In honor of the honorary last weekend of summer, I have teamed up again with Because Life is a Party to throw your outdoor Dirty Dancing themed shin dig for the weekend.  Roll out the blankets, cue up the projector, whip up some old fashioned cocktails, and put on your dancing shoes.

ASOS nailed it on this challenge...

Dress Me Up

My life feels full of work, organizations, and girl time.....but all I wanna do right now is go on dates, dress up, and go on dates.  So for all the guys that don't read my blog, someone pass the hint so I can wear these...

Bold is the new Black

It has been such a beautiful, sunny summer here in southern Cali, and I have been very anti Black the whole time (unless I'm feeling a little chub, then you can guarantee I've got on black).  With this nice weather and your glowing tan, bright colored dresses are begging to be worn.

I wore this Kelly green dress to work the other day, and so many people commented on it (mostly good ;) ).  Had it been in basic black, I am willing to bet no one would have said anything except for noting that I was wearing a dress to a job that is totally ok with flip flops.  Lest I forget, this dress cost me under $40! It was on sale at Zara and just needed to be freed of a gaudy gold chain.  Such a steal!

on me: Zara dress, Rayban sunglasses, Dannijo Ring, Dry Cucumber Soda, and a veggie burrito.

I wanted to find y'all another Kelly green dress, but alas my patience ran a bit short, and I gave up.  However, I have found these super rad dresses below!  I love turning a supposed night time dress into a day time one.  Who says you have to save your good stuff for a special event?  Wear it whenever you want!

Walk on the Wild Side

I truly think a basic animal print can be such a neutral.  It goes with all colors, but adds a little fun to an outfit.  Now suppose we get a little wilder and dive into the not so basic animal prints.  I know these can be a little scary for some people, but I think we all need to do a little statement making now and then!  Sign me up for all of these crazy animals.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

In honor of my joining a softball league this weekend (God help me), I decided to pay tribute to the inspiring sport!  Who doesn't love a good baseball tee, but lately I am seeing side striped trousers and all kinds of fashion baseball caps around.  Whistles are always needed for the ump, so why not get one for a good cause?!

Some like it hot

Vamp Glam

I must be watching too much True Blood these days because this room screams Vampire Glam.  Suppose if I were a vamp, this might be just right!

Copy That Street Style

I love an outfit with awesome accessories!

Off shoulder white blouse, pencil skirt with peplum hem, bold shoes, geometric clutch, statement necklace, and oversized sunglasses (I know you've got 'em).  Loves it.
