Weather Confused Wishes

It's cold, then it's hot, then it maybe might be cold again?  Oh LA, you keep me on my toes and make me want clothes from both seasons...

What's Black & White and Awesome All Over

A zebra with awesome accessories of course!  I love putting in a pop of color with a black and white outfit.  Teal, red, mustard, hot pink...all would work easily with any black and white outfit.  If you're feeling really daring, add leopard!

For jewelry with the below, I'd do basic silver or gold - chunky for the left and delicate for the right.

Lavender and Minty Fresh Wishes

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.

If I lived here..

If I lived here, in this renovated barn in Colorado, I would own an internet company with my husband. It would be social media based with an importance on dating, drinking, and dining.  (Since this is a real idea of mine (and my bff), that's all of the biz I can divulge for now)  My husband and I would live out here on this monstrous ranch, but the helicopter parked outside takes us anywhere we want to go.  Our weekend excursions would be to the rivers of Montana, lakes of Michigan, hills of Austin, and beaches of Florida. At home, we'd have a garden where we grow our very own herbs and veggies.  Our chef's kitchen will be every cook's dream where we would spend hours crafting new recipes and bottling spreads and jams to sell at local markets.  We will host lots of events for local charities and weddings on our sprawling property.  There will always be something going on at LoneStar Ranch, and all are forever welcome!

My style will be preppy with a trendy flare.  I will sport classic colors and tailored silhouettes - neutrals, greys, navy, brown, pin stripes, plaids, and denim galore.  Collars, pleating, and belting...yes please.

Next Best

My sister bought me this amazing Marc by Marc Jacobs purse for Birthmas (my birthday & Christmas), and I wore it to the death.  It went with everything, and added a fun print to bland outfits.  May it rest in peace.

She then miraculously found it's mirror twin at Buffalo Exchange! Her seriously incredible hunting skills made a seriously happy little sister.

Alas, it too is on its way out.  I wear it pretty much every day, and I have got to find something to replace it before it's too late!  

Here are some of the ones I have come up with...

If I lived here...

If I have moved here, I have run away with my mountain man into the forest to escape society for a while.  When I agreed to abandon the world, that didn't include giving up my love of fashion (or the internet).  Bringing all my best duds with me, my man is in for some fancy picnics, tea time, and porch swinging.  Thankfully I was born into royalty, so the inheritance will fund these wild fancies whilst living in the middle of nowhere, cuddling and playing house with my bf.  We will spend the day working in our garden, hiking near by trails, swimming in the closest watering holes, fishing in the river, and making our very own fine wines and beer.  By night time, we will put on some music, build up a bonfire, toast some s'mores, dance under the stars, and cheers to our blessings.  Rainy nights are spent inside with candle light, a good book, homemade stew, and snuggles. Who knows how long this love could keep us hidden from it all, but it sure sounds so sweet.
