Look of the Day: Crazy Striped Dress

Oh, it’s amazing how a sunny day can make a girl wanna get dolled up to skip around town. Thank God this past Saturday wasn’t too hot. I had the pleasure of meeting up with my oh-so-stylish, ‘long lost’ cousin (not really lost, but it had been a while since we’d seen each other) and have a lovely lunch on Lakeshore Avenue soaking in the sun. 

Inspired by the weather, I chose a new, crazy striped dress I swooped up from a boutique, called Sway. I swear it’s like my neighborhood Forever 21! On days that I want height without the pain of heels, I strap on my peep toe, espadrille wedges. They’re almost flat, but four inches off the ground! I went simple with custom Bobbi J jewelry and studded earrings along with natural makeup, but with a punch of color on the lips.

I love my MK, but I’m craving a new look. Good thing it’s my birthday next month 😉

I never get tired of M.A.C.’s ‘Girl About Town’

Custom necklace by Bobbi J and emerald glitter shellac. Yup, I said glitter shellac! They applied a clear shellac layer and dipped my entire nail in a bowl of glitter! A whole damn bowl! This was by far, the best nail shop experience I’ve had…ever!

How cute is my cousin, Lynda?!

Sunday Funday: Anniversary Edition in Cobalt Blue and Bright Orange

OH-EM-GEE I finally found some time to blog! I just started the Fashion Merchandise Marketing graduate program at FIDM San Francisco last week, so I’m getting adjusted to my new schedule and crazy workload. And let me tell ya, this ain’t no joke!

Anyway, this past Monday was mine and my boyfriend’s 6th anniversary! (If any one of you asks me when he’s going to propose, I will personally punch you in the face! lol) So on Sunday, we decided to take advantage of this gorgeous weather and have a celebratory brunch after we took care of our babies (our plants) followed by some intense go-kart racing– we’re adrenaline junkies like that.

I opted for a new, cobalt blue lace number from Express that I’ve been dyyyyiinngg to wear when the weather reached over 70 degrees along with BCBG studded sandals in orange. I had to show my excitement and love for spring some kind of way and this is the best route I know how– through my clothes!

So go on and click for lots of shots of our beautiful, celebratory day…enjoy!

Buganvilias never get old. I can’t wait until this one covers my future house 🙂

MMmmm Basil.

Planted these Lilly bulbs in February and now they’re finally sprouting! I’m  making my mom proud with my new green thumb 🙂

The first rose that bloomed.

This Aloe is taking over our balcony!

One of the newest additions from Santa Barbara.

I’ve had these beauties for years and I’m still in love with them. Thank you BCBG!

Jovan’s ‘Tequila Scramble’. $1.95 mimosas in orange, strawberry and mango…are you kidding me?! I’ll take 4! Please and thank you. Before this, I had never tried eggs benedict. After reading raving reviews on Yelp, I had to try their crabcake eggs benedict. They are truly, the bomb.com
