Tropical Temptations

My family is heading to the British Virgin Islands without me today. The closest I'm getting to their exotic getaway is gazing at these runway looks from Altuzarra's spring 2012 collection. Hey, at least I have this unbeatable collection to add to my list of things I'm wishing for today.

It's The Freakin' Weekend

It's finally here! You know what they say... work hard, play hard!

Seeing Stripes

I think these outfits are very versatile because they can act as both pajamas and casual daytime outfits for running around town. Either way, I'm seeing stripes and loving it.

Paint The Town

I'm psyching on these colorful variations of face and body paint! I think a crafty day filled with rainbow paint could be in store for me soon. What is your take on the artistic style?

Hoarder?

I would never say that I am a hoarder but I do have a tendency to collect and to hold on to anything and everything sentimental. I admit, that with a few years under my belt, I have become better about not saving every nic nac and all the olds and ends of my life. Moving every year of college has also forced me to be more selective with my "stuff." However, there is nothing wrong with having a handful of lovely or meaningful collections. I sure have a few!

Video Of The Moment: Stone Cold Fox

Dream big because you never know what your hopes and aspirations will become.

The success of the two style mavens behind Stone Cold Fox is a testament to the power of dreaming big. Take a peak and see for yourself.

Here are just two examples (trust me there are a handful more!) of Stone Cold Fox's brave fashion that I am coveting this summer:

Lace anyone?

Wishful Wednesday

Today marks the first day of summer! I am the poster child for embracing summer with extreme fervor. Summer represents many things to me and America is at the top of my list. That's why this Wednesday I'm getting wishful for the Fourth of July! In the midst of searching for the perfect holiday outfit, my eye was drawn to these two Equipment tops. What do you think? Three cheers for red, white, and blue!

• Equipment diem tie front blouse:

• Equipment diem stars and stripes print silk-georgette blouse:

I think I might have found my Fourth of July look with the second blouse. It is fun, flirty, and festive. With white cutoffs, I'm ready to hit the beach!

Golden State (Of Mind)

Since leaving Colorado, many of my friends have asked me what my new life is like in California. So, I thought I'd share these images that display my daily happenings.

Just kidding! While this Planet Blue summer lookbook was shot close by in Malibu, it doesn't reflect the ins and outs of my life. I wish! Rather, my life consists of apartment furnishing and decorating, working, and keeping my eyes peeled for future job opportunities. No beach bronzing or ocean outings? Don't worry I'm squeezing them in on my days off! 

And did I mention that I live two blocks from a Planet Blue store? Yup, you guessed it... I've become a regular.

Cheers to beating June glooms!
