i n s t a (evolver)

I'm an official gold member and it feels oh so good. It has my name on it and everything. 

Fresh CHERRIES!!

Kinda obsessing over short suits- this one is light weight perfect for spring and summer.

A goal of mine was to actually tan outdoors! (check)

I've wanted these for a looong time- made them mine the second I could.

I'm feeling bit under the weather, so please excuse the lack of outfit post.
But here are a few pics via my instagram.

summer bag essentials

Days are getting hotter and hotter. Its not even summer yet people!

 I worry what are summer days going to feel like.

Ugh the thought makes me sweat.

One of the benefits to HOT weather though is beach/pool/lake/river/lawn days.

 I look forward to tan skin, maybe beats, and also night life and wait, drinks on the patio. 

Oh and one more, summer fashion/trends.

I  have made it a personal goal to have an awesome summer bag.

With that said here is a little list of essentials that I must carry in it:

1. hair taming pieces like a hat when my hair is really cray. headbands when I want to be real cute.
2. eye shields/sunglasses- no brainer, right? 
3. since the sun can cause aging, WE have to protect our skin. sunscreen to the highest power (for body and face) and lip balm (lips need love too)
4. big headphones are in. 
5. tanning oil to get that summer glow 
6. flops- I tend to get some that I dont care about because I'll either lose them or they'll get trashed. 
7. cool bag for wet stuff. 

Of course I carry other stuff like food, mags, WATER! 

What do you typically carry in your bag? Oh and what are your plans for summer?

no such thing as too much

shirt: Urban Outfitters (men's)//shorts: Abercrombie and Fitch// shoes: Chanel// bag: vintage Gucci

When I first saw this shirt I was shopping in men's. 

It is so much easier to find shirts that are loose enough for my taste. 

Plus there are always smalls in mens, BONUS!

Anyway, the shirt, I was like woah maybe a tad much. But no. Nothing is never ever too much- if styled correctly. 

Tip: wear what might seem like much with something less much.

Example: here I was going to wear printed shorts but I stopped myself. It could have been a total catastrophe. Thank you self. Instead I opted for the most simple bottoms I could think of- white shorts. I mean really what is more simple?

I allowed my "bit much" piece be the center of attention.

 Actually I did wear my spotlight stealing shoes. 

Weird how I just contradicted myself. 

This is when I say "Do as I say not as I do".

How do you feel about shopping in mens? (if your a girl, if your a dude your solid and lucky)

Cutting my hair made me feel like a different person and cool and awesome. 

I was so happy with it I started sending pictures to people I haven't talked to in years just because I was that excited. 

Then I had that ONE person respond with "good luck with the grow out phase". 

My response (in my head)- you hater, your jealous, and/or you hate it. 

Disregarded the message until about a month ago. 

I'm growing my hair out and sweet jesus it's insane, bananas, untamable.

I thought of you responder (you know who you are).

Anyway I decided since there is nothing I can do about making this process speed up

(I did consider prenatal pills) I will just let my hair be who it wants to be. 

We will meet up on occasion. 

I'm hopeful that on those occasions I will be able to get my hair looking like one of the photos above. 

Give it direction and a purpose- you know?

blazer: thrifted// tee: H&M// skirt: F21// bag: Rebecca Minkoff// sandals: Zara// necklaces: F21 (green stone) and Gorjana (stars)

Working in a place that requires "business casual attire" is very ambiguous in my opinion. 

What is business casual anyway? 

I mean really, that phrase is almost as annoying as "I'm sorry to inform you" 

My job in particular allows employees to wear leggings but not jeans, well depending on the department! 

Either way, annoying and odd.
DAMN you restrictions!

I then have to remind myself how much I love fashion challenges.
If your on the same boat as I, the best advice I can give you is have fun with what you can wear.
Try to challenge yourself by stirring away from wearing leggings or sheer button up shirts or anything that you are not allowed to wear.
Another thing you can do is mix prints or just wear one print piece.
I personally think that wearing prints look fun. 

on YOUR must have list.

Although not everyone is into the same things I'm into.
I would like to say metallic rhinestoned flat sandals and denim overalls should definitely be at the top of every girls must-have list.
Seriously, overalls are making a HUGE come back. It may be a little strange because you can think back to the days when you probably had 3. Then you decided to donate them  thinking they'll never come back. BIG mistake! They're back. I couldn't be more excited, btw.
Just think about how much easier it's going to be to get dressed in the morning (or later in the day).
Oh and the flats, please don't get me started on how amazingly Cinderella these are!
My mind spins at the thought of all the outfits I can create.
Or...
I can wear both of them at the same time.
 GENIUS!


How would you wear your overalls?

a little... too cool

shirt: Urban Outfitters// bermuda shorts: Abercrombie & Fitch// shoes: Joe's Jeans// bag: Rebecca Minkoff// sunglasses: Ray Ban

I have to admit when I look at this outfit I think... Chola. Maybe it was the dark sunnies or maybe the plaid shirt, even the hoop earrings? Gosh I don't know. 

But when I was actually wearing it I thought I looked pretty cool. 

Actually I still think it looks cool.

Since bermuda shorts are trending.

Which BTW I'm extremely excited about.

I thought I'd give it my take, recycling my super old bermudas from high school!

Impressive ehh?

The fact that their denim with rips, give it a laid back feel. Originally I wanted to pair it with a t-shirt but opt for loose plaid instead. 

I do plan on recreating more looks with these bad boys so stay tuned! 

How do you feel about bermuda shorts?
