Getaway!

Happy Friday!

I am actually blown away by how quick this week flew by!

I guess the saying, "Time Flies when you are having FUN", is actually true.

I have been making an effort to live a happier, healthier life and I am not turning down any opportunities.

I was kind of bummed yesterday when I realized that I would NOT be packing to head to Arizona to visit my baby sissy, drive to the Grand Canyon and maybe hitting up some of the Indian Casino's. She had to work which means our girls weekend has to be postponed for the third time. Boo! Then it got me thinking that not only do I need a getaway but I need one that involves bright lights, shopping, lots of action and the chance of getting lucky (you can take that however you want. Hehe. JK). Honestly, I have not been to Vegas as a SINGLE woman since 2005. I am craving a girls weekend full of sun and debauchery. I won't be planning a trip until I hit my goal weight (so I can rock it by the pool of course) but that doesn't keep me planning fun looks for my faux getaway.

Whether you are someone who hits the pool, relies on lucky numbers to WIN big or spends their time shopping...there is no reason why you cannot look your best!!

I only like to show off one major asset. Since I am turning 30 I think wearing a loose, backless mini dress with sky high heels is appropriate. I am loving a more neutral palette with a little lot of sparkle and shine! Let's be honest...when you look good, you leave guys wondering, why gamble?? Haha!

So who wants to join me in Vegas this Summer?

We can have a blogger meet up ;)

Have a great weekend!

What I Want Wednesday {21}

One. More. Week.

In one week i can shop.

But I will not be going crazy.

Want to know why?

Because it feels so damn good to know that I can make do and be happy with  what I have. I don't need to shop to be fulfilled. I think I lost sight of that for awhile and I am happy to have seen growth and change in myself. If you would have asked me 6 months ago if I thought I could not shop for one month I would have laughed in your face. Now...I know I can do it.

With that said, this is what I am loving this week...

Cobalt

I LOVE the look of midi skirts and this color is just gorgeous. The shoes are FAB as well.

Theodora and Callum

'Aztec Blanket' scarf

I am so enamored with this scarf. I love scarves and this print is so fun and dresses up any look.

Striped, Nautical Inspired Sweater

This is such a simple, classy and comfy look. I want a sweater like this one!

Cognac leather pieces

I ADORE these looks. I want both outfits in my closet right now!

Killed. It. Period.

What is on your want list this week??

What I Wore: Minnetonka's

It has been in the 60's in LA all week. 

It kind of got me excited for Fall. Yes, I am admitting it.

After posting my Travel Tuesday post I knew that I had to break out my Minnetonka's this week. I have been DYING to wear them. These shoes are so comfy. I could not stop staring at my feet while I was walking around (which can actually be kind of dangerous. Haha) because the fringe flying around is awesome! I have a feeling that I am always going to want to wear them when I wear leggings. I also have to point out how AWESOME Chambray shirts are. They really do go with everything. Dressed up or down.

The Look I emulated...

IF I had a chance to rock these Isabel Marant Fringe Boots I would!

I love how over the top they are!

Minnetonka's

(sorry for the blurry images and darkness. I took pics VERY QUICKLY so I could get a post up)

What I Wore:

Blouse: Trouve (old, no longer available)

Tee: Hanes V-neck from the 3 pack

Leggings: Zella Live In from Nordy's (BEST ever)

Boots: Minnetonka

Tuesday Travel Style {40}

Ever since I bought these boots I have been DYING to wear them.

It is still pretty warm and I was extremely hot the one time I tried to wear them. Excitement beat out sweat! Sexy, huh?! Haha.

I have seen these boots on many peeps but they stood out on Miss Kourtney.

I love when she rocks the casual boho look. I think she looks amazing and I would copy every outfit that she wears if I could. This is my next travel outfit. Hands down!

I think that Kourtney has the best fashion sense of all three girls. I keep mentioning this but as time goes by it just becomes more and more true. I am a sucker for a worn in plaid shirt and leggings really are the best bottoms to wear on a plane. Honestly if you are wearing these to pieces it is almost as good as wearing your PJ's. She wore her hair back and is carrying a large handbag. Both essential for the plane ride. Mason is such a cutie! Seeing his sweet style makes me excited for my lil' nephew! 

What do you think of Kourt's Travel Style?

Would you wear this?

Tuesday Travel Style {36}

Couple's Edition

As much as I have traveled and the Bf travels, we actually haven't traveled much together. We tend to take road trip vacay's over plane vacay's (that will change) so this was only our second time on a plane with each other. Our trip inspired today's focus on the couples.

Let's start with the newlyweds, Nick and Vanessa.

 {image via starstyleinc.com}

I watched their TLC special on Saturday and quickly fell in love with Vanessa Minnillo and her darling personality. She is a beautiful, funny, intelligent, caring and giving woman. Nick is lucky to have her. It is no secret that I love me some Jessica Simpson so I was always apprehensive on liking Vanessa (Yes, I realize how ridiculous I sound and that I am talking like I actually know them. Just go with it). But now I know that I can like both of them ;) This pic is them returning from their honeymoon. Both wearing perfect outfits for many hours of travel and looking tan, relaxed and in love!

Second, we have the Bi-Coastal duo!

Next is the couple that everyone loves to pick on! I like to call them one of the most stylish couples. Scott and Kourtney always look impeccable. Mason is the cutest and most stylish baby boy. I love seeing pics of the family together. While everyone hates Scott (get over it already) I love him and his outlandish ensembles. I love that he wears colors, suits, incredible shoes and ALWAYS has a tan. Kourtney has perfected "mommy chic" and I am in complete envy of her silk shirts and amazing flats collection. All of them are wearing simple, easy pieces for travel without sacrificing style. I just love them :)

Both couples have totally different styles but look amazing.

How often do you travel with your siginificant other?

Any memorable trips?

Fashion/Outfit Inspiration

I can scour the internet for days and not get tired of looking at pictures, fashion spreads, bloggers and clothing websites. I love pretty things, pretty people and pretty pictures. 

These are some pics and people that inspire me. If I can emulate any of these outfits I will!

(sorry about the picture overload)

Perfect for a summer evening. The trapeze blouse is girly and roomy! White jeans are a summer staple.

 

{image via hillsfreak.blogspot.com}

So chic. I am a sucker for pointy toe heels, they are the sexy corporate shoe to me! This combo is in every girl's closet.

 

{image via peoplestylewatch.com}

Floral, flowey dress and cognac accessories. Fresh and perfect for a date or concert!

 

{image via starstyleinc.com}

Accessories really make the outfit. I love busting out the scarf with a tank. It is unexpected touch that people don't expect.

 

{image via justjared.com}

The green heels speak for themselves. Paired with tight black pants and an over sized neutral blouse. L-O-V-E!

 

{image via justjared.com}

I have a huge love for super light blue jeans. Paired with a coral blouse sounds like my perfect outfit for a Fall Transition.

 

{image via officialkourtneyk.celebuzz.com}

Another light blue jeans ensemble. I am dying for a cream blazer. I love how she paired the matching blouse with a monochromatic belt and shoes.

 

{image via starstyleinc.com}

The Bun is just classic and beautiful. The high waist-ed, flouncy skirt looks perfect with slightly un-buttoned blouse. The nude heels make her legs look miles long!

 

{image via justjared.com}

This is my uniform. Flouncy top, jeggings, heels and a FAB bag. I love that she wore a fedora...have to try that!

 

{image via google images: Minka white skirt search}

I think this is one of my favorite outfits on this post. I love the color purple and the belt makes the biggest difference! So cute!

 

{image via hillsfreak.blogspot.com}

Rocker Chic. I want to bust out my old concert tees and dress them up!

 

{image via starstyleinc.com}

Once again the shoes are what drew me to this look. I need really short booties like these! My utility jackets are on heavy rotation and I could wear them daily!

 {do not have a source...if you know please share!}

Pairing cut offs with dressier pieces is so California Chic. And more booties. <3

Jess is known for pairing shorts and sky high heels with a blazer and tee. I love the embellished jacket. I need more sparkle in my life!

 

{image via justjared.com}

Awww the Boho princess. I would dress Boho every day if I could. The belted maxi with flat sandals and fringe bag is perfection. PERFECT!

This and That

Well friends... I didn't plan ahead (I had been so good at that) and didn't get a post scheduled. So I did what any good blogger would do! I scoured my iPhone for pics that I have snapped to use at some point. Well that would be today.

So you are going to get a little bit of this and a little bit of that!!

***see how much i like you?? I go above and beyond to make sure you have something to read! What a good bloggy friend I am ;) ***




I am all about head accessories this week. I love this rose headband I bought for $2.50 at F21. Simple yet makes a statement!


My leopard obsession is getting borderline OUT of control. I love red and leopard together (hello Dolce and Gabanna!) so when I saw this pic of Khloe I got super excited. Love the whole look and the chambray shirt is a great touch (I'll button mine a little more. #justsayin'


















My nail polish and mani fascination is well documented. This isn't even every color from the last month! Which one is your FAV??





I ordered this KDash cape awhile ago. I had the pic of Kourtney saved for months because I wanted a cape like hers. Totally thought it was Burberry. BUT I think it's too big (I know! Nothing is EVER too big! Quite the opposite. It made me happy).
***Weigh in... Should I exchange so that I look more like Kourt in it???








I know this is a Fashion blog, I like it that way, but food has become my main priority as I joined Weight Watchers six weeks ago. It is all consuming as I get my head right about food. I'd you follow me on Twitter you will know I blog what I cook. Well this watermelon salad and feta turkey burgers are the perfect Summer meal. I cannot get enough. Let me know if you want the recipes. They are divine!!

There is a little peak into my phone and my mind! It's always full and always going. Let me know what you snap pics of, currently love and any opinions you may need!

(please excuse the font and pic sizes, formatting issues etc. until I can take care of this evening! )

Double Amazingness

I JUST saw this pic and I had to post it.

If I could pluck BOTH outfits off of these girls, I would. In a heartbeat. I LOVE the way the Kardashian girls step up their fashion game while filming. Their stylist, Monica Rose, is a genius. She pairs the most awesome things together. I would give my first born to work with Monica.

{image via gossipcenter.com}

Kourtney: I am loving the Chambray blue shorts suit. So sophisticated. Her crisp white blouse and nude strappy heels truly make the look. I love that her pop color comes from her handbag! GORGEOUS!

Kim: My leopard print love affair is going strong. I have been obsessed since I was 15 and it doesn't seem to be wavering. I LOVE the jumpsuit. The print isn't overwhelming and it totally shows off her perfect figure! She is wearing the same bag that I loved from last weeks Tuesday Travel style post! I LOVE that she paired it with this seventies inspired jumpsuit.

I have been saving these next few pics because I am so inspired by them and truly just love the looks!

{left pic: starstyleinc.com, rightpic: gossipcenter.com}

I would look GINORM in that tribal print dress but she looks insane. I LOVE the colors in this dress and always enjoy seeing Kim dressed down.

I am obsessed with neon color blocking and I think she did it best.

Pairing chartreuse with blueberry is pure perfection. This little baby doll dress with INSANE  wedges is such a cute look. I want this outfit. Need. Want.

{images via monicarosestylist.blogspot.com}

Let's start with the shoes. If I could only have one pair for the next year I would pick these. I love the nude with the mesh metal toe (Beyonce, J.Lo and Christina Aguilera have all worn them too! I will call them the DIVA shoe!) The Diva wants me to own them. I can feel it. White pants are chic. The zipper detail makes them different and slightly edgy. The oversized chambray-ish blouse is sophisticated yet comfy. The BIRKIN in chartreuse is so AMAZING. I would carry this until I died! Seriously.

I am so excited to post these looks.

Now if only I had each of those pieces in my closet.

And their bodies, money and on and on.

HAHA!

(I REALLY am happy as MANDY, but it is nice to dream sometimes)
