Whimsical Polka Dots + Stylish Tuesday

Happy Tuesday Loves! 

I hope everyone had a phenomenal weekend! My mom came into town last Wednesday evening, and we've been non-stop busy since! If you follow me on Instagram, I probably blew up your feed with all of my Disneyland and Dodger game photos (sorry not sorry) but we just had too much fun not to share but that will all be shared in a later post :)

The weekend before last I went to a Cinespia showing at Hollywood Forever Cemetery of Coming To America and had the best time with a great group of friends! Since we were going to be laying on the grass playing cards against humanity (best game ever) and picnic-ing I wanted to make sure I was dressed comfortable! 

I like to add a bold lip to my black and white color palette to add a bit of pop!

The movie was great and it was so nice to see a bunch of friends I hadn't seen in a while. If you're in the LA area this summer I highly recommend catching a movie! The August line up is one for the books!

I'm OBSESSED with this color combo! Green, orange and white always remind me of the Spring/Summer but put them in pastel form and I'm completely smitten! The way Jaime kept this look clean and polished is sheer perfection and I love the floral statement necklace and fun hat! Great look doll!

Tribal Shorts + Stylish Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

This weekend was truly one for the books. Dr. D threw a major graduation party in Orange County to celebrate his PhD and we all couldn't have been more proud. His family flew in from the East Coast and truly made the entire weekend all about him - as it should be! 

The weather in LA has been HOT, HOT, HOT y'all and frankly I'm not a fan of sweating to death the second I step outside so I live in shorts & tanks in the Summer. I bought these shorts for Dr. D's and my trip to Cabo back in April but never actually documented the outfit ... until now! 

The second I saw these tribal beauties at a boutique in Santa Monica I knew I had to have them. They're high waisted, which initially made me nervous, but I truly could live in these shorts all day long. The leather waist band adds a great subtle detail 

I paired it with my turquoise spike necklace and go to black cut out Aldo wedges. They may be 4 inches tall but they're seriously so comfortable you'd never even know! 

Tank: Ann Taylor // Shorts: LUSH // Necklace: Sage K & Co // Earrings: Versona // Bracelets: Lily & Laura // Ring: Steinmart // Wedges: Aldo

What's your favorite trend of the Summer?

This week's featured blogger is Simply Sabrina!

Isn't this midi dress darling? I'm completely smitten over the lace detailing on the top and cut out sides! Her cut out brown heels are the perfect brown contrast with the black dress and over-sized sunnies! I always love a good pop of color with a LBD and her green clutch is spot on!

East vs West Coast Style: Pastels

Happy Thursday Loves!

I'm so excited for today's post because it's Round 2 of the East vs. West Coast Style Remix! The gorgeous Floridian Pamela and I are back and this time around we're talking Spring Pastels!

I shamefully have to admit that I completely spaced to take my photos ahead of time and literally bribed my beloved Dana to rush over to my house to take these. I've never taken night shots, she had never shot at night ... but needless to say I think they turned out great for what we had to work with!

I love any and every chance to wear pastels. The pale colors automatically make you look tanner and maybe it's just me, but they generally put me in a better mood. I wear SO much black and navy for work so it's nice to switch it up a bit!

When Pamela and I had initially decided to do pastels I immediately had 3-4 outfits run through my head. Fast forward to the night I took these photos and my mind went BLANK. I had a mint skirt paired with a hot pink tank but that seemed too much and a white short with a baby blue tank seemed too Summer-like. I was thrilled when I stumbled across this paisley pencil skirt because it's one of those items you completely forget about until you see it. Don't worry folks, this beauty will be in FULL rotation for Spring!

Isn't the little cut out in this top fun?!

Movin' on over to the East coast, Pamela looks like a straight up bombshell in her all mint ensemble with a pop of black in her gorgeous ankle strap heels!

Get Pamela's outfit details here 

If y'all haven't headed over to Sequins and Seabreezes then seriously what are you waiting for?! I kid, but in all seriousness Pamela's blog is one of my favorites! Her photos are always stunning, but her writing is what sucks me in -- whether she's talking about the changes in Florida's weather, vacation plans or just a random fashion tip you truly feel like you're having a conversation with one of your best girlfriends. 

 Just for shits and gigs I had to share this candid photo Dana caught last night: Hope your Thursday just got a little brighter!

Happiness Lately & Stylish Tuesday

Happy Tuesday Loves!

So much exciting stuff has happened over the past couple of days that I can't contain my happiness! 

First and foremost Dr. D and I booked a trip to CABO SAN LUCAS! Woo freaking Hoo! I am so pumped for a week without my phone, laying out and getting my drink on! Oh and staring at this every single day! You bet your Prada I'll be living it up at the swim up pool bar!

Next I FINALLY took advantage of the super nice weather we've been having and spent an afternoon bronzing away in Santa Monica. This El Nino effect has brought nasty weather nationwide (as we all know) but someone has to take advantage of 80 degree days in January!

Lastly I'm working on a big surprise as my first ever giveaway! The post will be up on Friday and I can't wait to share it with you ladies! 

- now to the fashion -

My weekend was pretty relaxing; therefore, I didn't take any pictures for this week's posts. This was actually my Christmas Day outfit and I'm just now getting around to posting it .... tsk tsk.

Top & Belt: Target // Tank: Ann Taylor LOFT // Pants: Old Navy // Necklace: Cornucopia // Boots: Steve Madden

Has anything super exciting happened to you lately?

This week's featured look comes from Elizabeth at Elizabeth Nygard! 

I truly love Elizabeth's blog and look forward to reading it daily. She's a blogger of all trades giving advice and tips on not only fashion but also make up, fitness and mouth watering recipes. We both started a link up around the same time too so make sure to check out her Love Your Look segment every Tuesday!

Her plaid and poncho combo is nothing short of pure genius and those booties are amazing!

Shorts in January?

Happy Thursday Dolls! 

Can you believe we're 3 weeks into 2014? It's mind boggling to me that today is Thursday as well. My whole week has been off kilter thanks to good 'ol MLK Day.

What also is crazy is the weather we're in experiencing in LA. I'm super grateful for blue skies and sunny days, but it feels a little odd being in the upper 70's low 80's in the middle of January! I took these photos 2 weeks ago, yes you read that correctly, these were taken the second week of January after returning home from back East.

Completely in love with this shot

Dr. D and I explored Griffith Observatory and thought it was the perfect opportunity to test out my new Canon T3i Rebel camera I got for Christmas. We're still working with the photo settings, but I must admit I do love how much better the clarity is on these!

I'm also very excited to be one of the three bloggers featured on Three fer Thursday today! Three fer Thursday is a weekly linkup hosted by Meghan at Everyday Fashion & Finanace and Bethany from Perfectly Coutured! If you haven't checked out their linkup before you need to head over there NOW and meet some fabulous new bloggers :)

Hipster-esque Stylish Tuesday

Happy Tuesday Dolls!

Being a southern girl, preppy tends to be the fashion way I lean towards, NOT hipster. But alas every now and then it's good to step out of your comfort zone!

Booties that don't match my outfit? Unheard of ... 

Not doing a damn thing to my hair besides letting it air dry? Sheer madness ...

White Tee: LOFT // Plaid Shirt: Target // Leather Pants: ANGL // Booties: Just Fab // Sunnies: Ray Ban // Earrings: Francesca's Collection // Necklace: J. Crew // Gold Link Bangle: Forever 21 // Spike Bracelets: Sage K and Co & Juicy Couture 

Needless to say I may not have totally nailed the hipster look, but it was fun trying something different! 

Have you ever tried something totally out of your element?

This week's featured look comes from Chelsey at Patti Cake! 

Her winter-white look is SPOT ON with touches of gold in her accessories. Everything from her gold nails, adorable Kate Spade sunnies and gorgeous booties is perfection. Way to rock it Chelsey!
