What I Wore: Personalize your Style

Last night I had the privilege of supporting Alissa and Nordstrom Fashion Island at the first 'Personalize your Style' event. It was SO MUCH fun. I will have a whole post and pics about it tomorrow! This is such an exciting event that all of you in the OC area (also LA and SD) should attend in the months to come. 

In honor of the event I HAD to bust out my Missoni for Target knit shorts. In all sincerity I hope that I still have readers after posting my outfit. I know that not everyone get their goods. This launch was an epic fail for most. They arrived yesterday afternoon and they are perfect. I am loving the Fall colors and they are thicker than I would have expected. They are going to look AWESOME with tights this Winter. So excited. I paired the shorts with a black tunic that would showcase my Kendra Scott necklace. They matched perfectly. Obsessed.

What I Wore: Buttoned up

I finally got the memo...

Over sized button ups are more comfortable than sweatshirts.

For real!!!

I have never been a huge fan of button ups. I don't know why but they seemed to be too preppy for me. But since I bought the two plaid shirts and my over sized white button ups from Old Navy I cannot stop wearing (or buying) them. 

Do you wear button ups? Am I way behind on realizing their amazingness??

This outfit is from last week (I am officially out of outfit pics. I need to take some the next few days or my blog will be BORING). I found this blue color (hard to tell in the pics BUT it is NOT chambray OR light blue. It is more cornflower blue) after obsessing over a pic of Ashley Olsen in the same color. I loved pairing this shade of blue with my tomato red Missoni jellies. These shoes are SO comfy. I love designer sales :) One thing that I always try to do when wearing such a masculine piece is wear something really girly. The bows on my shoes weren't enough to bring out the girliness in the outfit. I added a neutral bib necklace that really made the outfit pop. I loved this combo. Pretty, girly and so comfortable!

What I Wore:

Necklace: Tasha (from Nordstrom)

What I Wore: Seeing Red

So I did it!

I dyed my hair red. Although it totally looks brown in these pics. But in the sun...watch out ;) It is actually a glaze (semi permanent) and a shade or two darker than what I want my hair to look like. BUT past dye jobs have proven my hair doesn't hold color and fades within a week. Which is perfect because then I can start phase two of a slight ombre with really blonde tips. 

In honor of going red I wore red accents. I have yet to bust out a scarf in the heat and new that my McQueen scarf needed some love. The scarf is a PERFECT match for my Missoni jelly sandals (getting excited for Target's launch although these are the real deal). I stuck with a classic white tee to showcase the bold color. 

OH, GUESS WHAT?!?

I am starting a new job today. It literally fell into my lap and happened SO quickly. I will share the deets after the weekend. I am SO SO SO excited about the opportunity.

What I Want Wednesday {11}

iPhone Pics edition!

I know that many people do "Pics on my phone" or "This weeks iPhone pics" type of posts. This is my version of one of those posts. I am constantly taking pics of magazines, people on the streets, myself etc. on my phone so that I can be reminded of the inspiration at a later date.

This is what I want this week...

All pics are from the June issues of People Style Watch and InStyle.

A SEXY one piece bathing suit

I LOVE this ring. I want one to fit on my middle finger.

Missoni seems to be the House to work with.

I am  obsessed with my Haviana's and would love a pair with Missoni Stripes.

I LOVE this Tolani dress/cover up. I posted this pic in my Spring break post.

It is available on pre-order. My *new* frugalista mind says that $151 is too much :(

Jessica Simpson collection has the best shoes.

I am currently lusting over these slide in mules/clogs.

Nothing screams SUMMER like a pair of linen pants.

I saw a woman wearing a pair with a BF cardigan and a floppy hat in the airport in Cabo.

I have wanted to emulate the look since then.

I have been dying for ikat print for months.

Ikat looks fabulous on these shorts.

I love how the outfit is based around these stand out piece.

Not Fashion related BUT I just want to marry him.

Then he could sing me to sleep while gazing at me with those killer blue eyes.

SWOON.

And for those of you that follow me on Twitter...

I RETURNED the dress.

My votes ended up being 50/50.

But I just didn't feel super comfortable and when I feel that way it must go back :)



124: Missoni

About a year and a half ago we had a Missoni personal appearance at one of the stores I work at. The gorgeous Margherita was there. And she really is naturally beautiful. Ever since then I have been DYING to get my hands on some sort of tunic. I want a piece that I can wear with jeans or with wedges on a summer night. When I saw this pic of Kate Hudson (filming her new movie "Something Borrowed". GREAT BOOK by the way.) I knew I found what I was looking for! Now I just have to find the money to buy it ;)

I love the neutral colors in this tunic.

It. Will. Go. With. Everything.
