<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know those moments when you know that you have so much
to say but you cannot quite find the words that will do it justice? That is
totally the spot that I am in. I have been quite reflective the last couple of
months. I have spent a lot of time evaluating this past year, my relationships,
where my heart is at, how much I have to really give of myself. I am a planner.
I like to have goals, things that I am working on, working towards. So when
asked what I am striving for in 2014, I have a lot on my mind and not sure how
to say it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I live my life without regrets. I share a majority of the
good (not always the bad but I haven’t really had much bad in the past couple
of years) with all of you whether it is through the blog or Instagram. I share
my heart, my thoughts, my life and I am open and answer questions honestly when
asked. My life is far from perfect but I am really HAPPY! It truly fills my
heart knowing that people resonate with me, that they connect with what I am
going through. Being able to connect with people over every day life, our
fitness journeys, dating ups and downs and any other random thing is truly
rewarding for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I definitely struggle
at times with what I share publically. I try to keep it real but I have learned
that there are certain things that I need to keep guarded and fiercely close to
me (my love life being one of them). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have met some incredible people this year. I continue to
be very purposeful in who I let in, whom I become close with. I have found that
surrounding myself with people that challenge me to be better while loving me
unconditionally is the best. I am beyond blessed that I am able to cultivate
these relationships and pray that they feel the same about me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’ve also met some awful people. I have seen the worst in
others. I have learned that people are not always who they say that they are. I
have been pushed to my limit, been tested and let go of a lot. It is hard.
Painful. Humbling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also made me
stronger, wiser and in the weirdest way more trusting and loving. I learned how
powerful the heart is. I am so proud that I am continually getting better when
I could let these things make me bitter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s been over two years since I decided to change my life,
lose some weight and incorporate fitness into my every day routine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been such a rewarding journey. I still
have not met my ultimate weight loss goal but I am healthy (like cleared of so
many issues healthy), fit and happy. I have a work out partner, accountability
and use my workouts to relieve stress. It is an amazing outlet and I am beyond
thankful for all of the support. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My professional life really came together at the end of
2013. I am involved in some incredible projects. I have been given more
responsibility with Pollinate Media and I am so excited with my future with
this company. I also got back into Fashion and began selling Stella and Dot
jewelry, which I love doing. I am consulting for a non-profit, giving back and
that feels incredible. And I still have this blog and se some exciting things
happening here. I am busy, striving and still have freedom to just live. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With that said, let's summarize the last two years. In 2012 I made A LOT of changes in my life. I focused on me for the first time ever. 2013 was all about maintaining changes, cultivating relationships and having a lot of fun. I set many goals and I accomplished most of them. Although after May I think I completely forgot what they were. (<a href="http://fashionistammc.blogspot.com/2012/12/goals-for-pollinate-blog.html" target="_blank">You can read last year's post here</a>). </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2014 feels like it is going to be my break out year. Instead of sharing goals and setting New Years resolutions, I am going to share a word that will describe where my focus will be in my personal life, professional life and my physical/fitness journey. </span></div>

I need to hone in on my diet, really tailor my work outs for definition and stay focused on my ultimate goal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is no doubt that I have been a shitty blogger lately. Call it what you want but I have been completely uninspired and retreating just a bit. I also think that Instagram is just way easier to share blurbs and pictures. So in a way #instagramatemyblog. Aaannnnnddd I have spent months, no joke, months, trying to figure out what I want from my blog. The voice I want to use. Content I want to share. How I want to grow. A whole mumble jumble of thoughts that I can't eloquently put together. So. There's that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what better way to begin blogging again than with a list of why I am a Shitastic Blogger. Now I cannot take credit for the idea behind this post (uninspired, remember?). I read blogs for a living and came across this post from <a href="http://www.travel-babbles.com/2013/10/eight-reasons-why-im-shitastic-blogger.html" target="_blank">Kym of Travel Babbles</a>. I am going to go ahead and call Kym a genius. Haha. Because that ONE post actually got me thinking and writing again. ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...and they totally want their pants back!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went out on a limb here. These pants are a little out there but I kind of love them, a lot. The printed pant and the pajama pant is totally in right now. I do think it is a tough look to pull off. And I totally think that I will be able to style these a little better when it gets a little cooler. We shall see.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since the pants are loud (and they are kind of silky and stretchy making you feel like you are wearing nothing) I went with a basic white tee and some seveties looking platforms. It is basic up top and a total explosion of Seventies sass on the bottom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How are you feeling about this trend?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will you be trying some printed pants this Fall?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Friday, friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just wanted to pop on really quickly to share some items that I am currently crushing on. I have been online <strike>browsing</strike> shopping and these pieces all need to make their way into my closet. Asap!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am headed out to celebrate one of my BFF's birthdays and headed to a concert. The usual! Haha. Hope you all have an incredible weekend!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kimonos are the easiest thing to throw on and I love the detailing in this one! You can wear it with any color shirt and it will look good! I would size down on this piece as a lot of fabric can overwhelm your body and make it look larger than you are! I bought this in the small/medium! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I have been dying to buy a new watch. I am loving emerald and the face of this watch is gorgeous!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coated denim is all the rage, this season. I don't like to spend a ton of money on really trendy pieces. I have been a fan of Old Navy denim for a long time. These fit great, I did NOT size up like the reviews say online. I tried on my normal Old Navy size and they fit perfectly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another basic to add to your closet. I am always looking for the perfect blouse to throw on. This is woven and not a tee, which I LOVE. Throw on a scarf and you will look super polished and cute!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Need I say more? Ok, I will. This is a very similar style to the nude wedges I have worn over and over and over again. You can dress these up or down. They look good with dresses, shorts, jeans, anything. I think everyone needs to own these!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Tuesday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My weeks have been busy and my weekend's a bit slower which is a weird, yet great, thing to have happen! I am still struggling to have reasons to really get dressed up. This look is from a few week's back but is perfect as it is starting to cool just a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I fell in love with these jeans while working {shortly} at Nordy's this Summer. They are the perfect amount of stretch and I feel like I cannot buy anything else anymore. This is a problem. Haha. Paired with a basic blouse and my black heels this makes my jeans look a tad bit dressier. I am still obsessed with camo and I love the girly touch of the melon stripe. Makes the look all come together. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Starbucks has politely told me that it is "Fall". I'm suddenly down an extra $25 bucks a week buying those dang PSL's, iced, because it is still too dang hot here in So Cal. While other parts of the country are starting to feel the weather cool down, we are just now hitting our 'Summer'. But it is never too early to start thinking about how I can transition my Summer pieces to wear in the Fall. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One piece that I consistently wore all summer were my maxi dresses. It is seriously the easiest and most comfortable thing to wear day in and day out. You look "dressed" with one piece. Serious no brainer. I also wear flip flops pretty much every day. My feet are claustrophobic I tell you! Well the other day it was 78. That is Fall weather for sure! So I wore a scarf with my strapless maxi and flip flops. Perfect. Lol. The easiest way I can think of transitioning my dress for Fall is to throw on a jacket (I may have pushed it a little with the leather jacket. I sweated to death) and chose booties instead of flip flops. I took the look from Summer to Fall by adding two pieces. I am sure that I will have some other combos to share with you in the next few weeks so I will wait to share the rest of my styling tips ;) In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this look. I think I look like a Bad Ass. LOL. That doesn't happen often!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey! Hi! Remember me?!?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am averaging about one post a month, awesome! Does that still make me a blogger? I can say that life is crazy busy but that is nothing new. I will say that I wear pajamas and work out clothes waaayyyyy more often than I would like to admit. That kind of makes style blogging hard. I have also been working and planning behind the scenes on how/where I want this blog to go and what that actually looks like. So while I may not be super present here, this blog is not far from my thoughts! I think that some great things will happen here. SOON!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I LOVE you more than words can say!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(had to throw that in)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You all {should} know that I am a not the girliest dresser ever. I tend to mix my casual and dressier pieces together, a lot. I loved pairing my neon sweatshirt with these ruffled shorts (I love these shorts but paired with the wrong top can totally look like something my 1 year old niece would wear). I added some glitz with the necklace and wore neutral wedges to make my legs look LONG! I love how this look came together. It is perfect for the California nights as Summer turns to Fall.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I feel so blessed that I get to be an Auntie to these precious babes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I mentioned that one of my best friend's was getting married in Nor Cal. Since my parents live on the Central Coast I drove up to stay with them for a night on the way to the wedding. Then the party was on Sunday so I was able to attend and stay the night before heading home on Monday. I am so glad it all worked out for me to be a part of so many loved ones special days!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wore this outfit on the drive up to see my family. I knew I would be getting there and that we would be headed straight to dinner so I wanted to be comfortable yet cute. This skirt is stretchy so it was easy to throw on. Due to it being on the shorter, tighter side AND that it was so bright I wanted to pair it with something looser on top. My chambray was the perfect top to keep the look a little more casual while complementing the color. I threw on my go to sandals in leopard to give some texture and a random pop. I like how it all came together!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Summer's fun and the livings easy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Especially when it comes to dressing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a big weekend ahead of me. One of my bestest is getting married!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so excited for her and I just know that the wedding is going to be beautiful. Hopefully I will be getting a couple outfit shoots in!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This look makes a statement with just two pieces. If it isn't a maxi dress than I am pulling on a maxi skirt (or my cutoffs but I am sure you are sick of seeing those if you follow me on Instagram). I love how flattering this skirt is. The chevron gives me shape and pairing it with a drapey tank means that I have room to breathe! I threw on flat studded sandals and a basic pendant. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, well, well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This look was quite popular with y'all on Instagram.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Which made me SO happy because I am kind of obsessed with it. It is seriously so cute but comfy. I love that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think that kimonos can be harder to wear. You have to be careful of the length, where it hits on your body and that it is not too oversized. I am wearing a small/medium and I have never worn that size. I am a HUGE lover of animal print, especially in neutral colors. This piece was a no brainer. I think I have at least 6 pairs of cut offs at this point. I wear them almost daily. I wore flip flops with the look to run errands and threw on the wedges for dinner. Super versatile!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wow...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My stint at <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tu8mehn">Nordstrom</a> went by so fast. If you have been reading my blog for awhile you will know that I worked for Nordstrom for 8 years. I had a very significant and fulfilling career there. I held various positions, followed my heart and made my dreams a reality. As I grew up, learned who I was and where I wanted my life to go; I decided that it was time to leave to pursue different dreams about two years ago. I look back on my time at Nordstrom with so much love. I made incredible connections, lasting relationships and know that I have a "home" there. So going back to help my mentor out for five weeks was an opportunity that I could not pass up. I did a job that was brand new, I didn't know what to expect and I learned SO much. It was fun but I am ready to settle back into my normal, regular life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Since I was the guru and manager of all things <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/tu8mehn">Anniversary Early Access</a> (this is a special offering to Nordstrom Card Holders to shop the Anniversary sale before the sale is open to the public) I thought that I would share my picks from the sale. I have truly honed in on my style, what looks good on me. I tend to favor basic pieces that I can sass up. If you like my style or gravitate to similar pieces that I wear, you will like this list! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I would wear plaid 24/7 if I wouldn't look like I was always wearing the same thing. Haha. This dress is a fun and different way to wear plaid. Paired with boties it is the perfect fall look.</span><br />

I also bought a RAD sweater that sold out so I couldn't share it with you. AND I bought some white leopard Nike Free 5.0's that also sold out (<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/108649409731621754/">super similar to this pair I pinned months ago</a>).

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If there is one thing I have learned about Style Blogging, it is how to make the basics work for you. Obviously they are called basics for a reason BUT I always try to find something a little different to make the look a little more "me". Right now I am loving distressed/destroyed/shredded cut offs. I think they funk up the outfit. I like wearing a more girly top in a pretty color or fun fabrication to offset the grungier look of the shorts. This lavender blouse is a perfect example of that. Since both pieces were pretty simple I thought that the leopard sandals were the perfect complement to the outfit. They stand out with out being over the top. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also want to point out that having an 'Apple Shape' is hard to dress sometimes. In blousier pieces I tend to look heavier. You can see a huge difference when I put my hands on my hips, defining my waist. Since I have a larger bust and broad ribcage I have to buy tops in a larger size creating excess in the body of the garment. SO annoying. I need to find an amazing tailor! The power of alterations is HUGE!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I. Can't. Stop. Buying. Maxi Dresses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#truestory</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This dress is my latest buy from Kiki La'Rue and to say that I am obsessed would be an understatement. I LOVE the color combo. Blush and Taupe are faves of mine and they just so happen to be great colors on me. I paired the dress with my denim vest to give the look a little something extra. To play up the blush color I wore my rose gold bangles, hoops and watch AND wore my most favorite sandal in Rose Gold Glitter. While the dress is super comfy I think the look made me look chic and pulled together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hate coming here and apologizing for being MIA and telling you how busy I am but that is all I have to say! I am trying to balance my work load, fitness and personal life and it is H-A-R-D. I promise I will make more of an effort to post more consistently! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also picked a winner for the Kiki La'Rue Giveaway.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This outfit was inspired by a picture of Sophia Bush that I <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/108649409732525772/" target="_blank">pinned on Pinterest</a>. I LOVE these Gap pants but have felt limited in what I could wear them with due to the blue of the pants, they are so dark and don't look like denim. I am weird about pairing colors with certain blues. After seeing Sophia pair her polka dot pants with a gray sweatshirt and heels I knew I could pull off that look. Since it is warm I found a lightweight sweatshirt with short sleeves and had my outfit. I paired it with my Zara heels and complementary jewelry pieces. Love how it came together. Don't mind my cray cray hair... this is how it ends up every day now that I am working in the store. Lol. I am taking messy bun to a new level ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am going to make this short and sweet because that is better than no post at all, right??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have another Kiki La'Rue beauty for you! I have been searching high and low for a leopard maxi for years. I finally found one that fits well, even with a large print, and hides all of my flaws. This dress is super comfy, feels kind of like pajamas, but fancier! I can wear it with flats or heels. Sass it up with some jewelry or keep it super simple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cannot stop wearing maxi dresses. An entire outfit, that makes you look pulled together in one piece is just too good to be true!</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Monday, my friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I am starting a month long gig back at Nordstrom. WHAT???? I swore I wouldn't go back. Never say never! Haha. I was asked to help out for the Anniversary sale and it was too good of a gig to pass up. I am going to DIE waking up at 6am for the next few weeks. I have definitely gotten used to my princess, work from home, schedule. Wish me luck! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to remind you all to enter my <a href="http://fashionistammc.blogspot.com/2013/06/kiki-larue-love-and-giveaway.html" target="_blank">giveaway for $50</a> to <a href="http://kikilarue.com/" target="_blank">Kiki La'Rue</a>! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was the perfect outfit for running around the beach, following my nephew and niece around. I love camo print ESPECIALLY when it has a pretty gold star on it! My cut offs are just a go to. I did a little print mixing with my leopard print sandals. The look was cute and easy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Hump Day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love Wednesdays. I love knowing that we have hit the hump and we are quickly approaching the weekend. I told you yesterday that I have a lot of cool things to share with you... WELL one of the amazing things I have to share is a partnership with <a href="http://www.kikilarue.com/" target="_blank">Kiki La'Rue</a>. As you have seen from some of my posts the last few weeks (<a href="http://fashionistammc.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-i-wore-neon-coral-and-maxi-love.html" target="_blank">one</a> // <a href="http://fashionistammc.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-i-wore-summer-uniform-1.html" target="_blank">two</a> // <a href="http://fashionistammc.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-i-wore-blue-chevron.html" target="_blank">three</a>) and if you follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/fashionistammc" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span>, <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">you will know that I bought my first few pieces and cannot stop wearing them. I also got to meet and spend the week with the shop owner, Becka. We have been following each other on Instagram and blogs for awhile and knew that we would be fast friends. Her whole goal is to make people feel beautiful regardless of size and sells clothing from small-3X, Maternity and shape wear. You all have read my journey in getting fit (still working on that), losing 40 pounds last year and learning to love myself again. I strive to share with you all that you can dress with confidence at any size. I think our visions align very well. I am so excited to be sharing her clothing with you all and am SO HONORED that she thinks that I will be a strong representation for her business.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The NUMBER one reason I am drawn to this company is because of the PERSONALIZED customer service that Becka and her team emulate. They are VERY active on Facebook and Instagram, answering sizing questions and using models of different sizing to share the true fit of the items they buy. They are quick to answer emails, the have an extremely fast turn around on shipping and you do NOT have the feeling that you are shopping from an online boutique. I am hooked. You know I have high expectations and do not partner with many brands, so this says a lot. I have three more dresses coming this week! EEK! I think you know my style and love for a certain print so CAN you guess which ones??? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are looking to make a purchase might I suggest the <a href="http://www.kikilarue.com/magnetic-field-maxi-salmon/" target="_blank">Magnetic Fields Maxi</a> or the <a href="http://www.kikilarue.com/sorbet-chevron-maxi-pink-white/" target="_blank">Sorbet Chevron Maxi</a> in Pink and White (<a href="http://www.kikilarue.com/sorbet-chevron-maxi-pink-white-1/" target="_blank">Plus Size</a>)? They have SO many new arrivals and they post stuff all of the time. I was able to see what she bought last week at LA Market and it is Too Die For!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Please ask me any sizing questions in the comments and I will reply there! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Tuesday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am headed up to visit my family and host a <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/mandychristiansen" target="_blank">Stella and Dot show</a> for my mom and sister's friends! I am so excited to show off the amazing jewelry! Plus I get to spend time with the cutest bebe's in the world! It is a total win win for me! I have so many exciting things going on in my life and I will be sharing them with you as they happen! So stay tuned!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am in my Summer Uniform, shocking, I know! I was a little scared to wear this dress because of the overall large print BUT I ended up LOVING it. I think that this dress is really flattering and it is soft and kind of silky. Clearly I am obsessed with all my <a href="http://www.kikilarue.com/" target="_blank">Kiki La'Rue</a> purchases lately! And I am totally NOT biased at all. For reals! Just straight up LOVE! I paired it with matchy matchy jewelry. The earrings were the exact blue of the dress and the chevron necklace matched the print. Haha. Dirty hair = Pony tail. Plus over-sized glasses always make a look seem more glamorous. LOVED this outfit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am a pin-a-holic. I have talked about it before and I think that most of you are as well. If you aren't, you should be. Ha! While for the most part I have an intense L-O-V-E for <a href="http://pinterest.com/fashionistammc/boards/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, it does have some downfalls in my eyes. More on that next week. BUT when I <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/108649409730666473/" target="_blank">pinned these shorts</a> a year ago I didn't think that I would actually end up buying them. But I did. After seeing them on Heather and Amber via Instagram, my happy butt headed to my local TJ Maxx (still not a fan btw). I found them, they fit, they were in a beautiful color and they were cheap. All wins in my book.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wore this outfit to my friend's 30th Birthday party. It was perfect for the weather, I went from wine and apps to outdoor patio and dancing in a "club". Since the shorts are fancier I dressed them down with a basic tank and denim jacket. Added leopard wedges for some texture and contrast. Simple jewelry and over-sized sunnies completed the look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really don't understand how the days pass so quickly! They are flying by. It is a bit crazy but totally fun! My weekend consisted of a concert on Friday night, a 30th birthday for a dear friend on Saturday and then spending time with a friend in from out of town on Sunday. Weekends like this remind me how blessed I am to be surrounded by such incredible people. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the Summer I tend to wear a variation of two different "uniforms". The first one is a dress, usually a maxi, with a hat and flat sandals. This dress from Kiki La' Rue is perfect. It fits well, has pockets and comes in a variety of color combos. This combo happens to be my favorite. Peach and mint are two colors that look great with my coloring AND emphasize an incredible tan (not that I have one yet)! I paired it with a Panama hat, which is one of the best purchases I have made. Bad hair days be gone! I am obsessed with my nude flip flops. They are perfect and go with everything. All three of the pieces are bound to be worn out by the end of the Summer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last week I had the chance to check out The Land of Nod's newest store at South Coast Plaza. I am in love. To quote myself and to use my hash tag from the party I attended, #landofnodisNOTjustforkids. I mean, to be technical, it is for kids BUT they have a lot of covetable pieces for us grown ups! The store is beautiful, merchandised to perfection (remember I have a BA in merchandising and years of experience in retail) and did an incredible job of telling a story whether is be with color, print or texture!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am a color coding FREAK when it comes to office supplies and organizing them. There are so many <a href="http://bit.ly/ZR1XMO" target="_blank">storage</a> options it made my head spin!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I mentioned in <a href="http://fashionistammc.blogspot.com/2013/05/hello-and-inspiration-from-unexpected.html" target="_blank">this post</a> that I am working on creating my home office and I planned on being practical and was going to pick up the shelves and pin boards. Welllll.... I changed my mind. Kind of. I ended up buying a sequin pillow and ordered (<a href="http://www.landofnod.com/magnificent-metal-letters/f10670" target="_blank">you can see it here</a>) a gunmetal large "M". Totally frivolous BUT will help complete the vision I have for my office. I also TOTALLY plan to still buy the practical items too! I can't pass those up!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This may be a room for a "little girl" but I would be more than happy to have that mirror, chandelier, lamp and even the star garland in my "grown up" room. I even picked up my sequin pillow from this set up. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope I have you convinced that you don't have to have kids to shop at The Land of Nod. In fact, you must check out the South Coast Plaza store (it is on the third floor of the Crystal Court side) if you are local since it is now open. No store near you? Feel free to <a href="http://bit.ly/YM1Ua2" target="_blank">shop online</a> and STALK their social media pages. No one will judge you! Promise!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hands down the best thing about blogging is the friendships that have flourished through this crazy world. Beyond friendships I have had so many opportunities given to me, along with my amazing job that I have today. I LOVE reading new blogs, finding inspiration in blogs and bloggers and being challenged along the way.</span></div>
