whore bag

hello loves! thank you so much for all your sweet comments regarding the blog change....I'm so glad you all love it....& how amazing is Raven from yesterdays post? I seriously cannot get enough of that girl!  so as I'm writing this post I'm sitting here at my desk shaking my head because of what my mother approved of - for me to walk outta the house in...so I put on this dress that i got about 5 years ago...its still in perfect condition & still fits me...however I usually wear it in the winter with tights & boots, but since the weather is still over 90 degrees & a lot of my other dresses are dirty I figured I'd just wear this one...so I showed my mom the dress because I felt like it was too short...i ask her & her words are "nooooo not at all"...okay awesome I'm good to go... so as I'm walking up to Starbucks i catch my reflection in the glass door & i am instantly horrified....what the f was I wearing & why the hell did my mom think this dress wasn't short?! its wayyy too short...& you know that feeling when you feel like everyone is looking at you? well that's how I felt walking into Starbucks...i felt like my legs were exposed for everyone to see...& don't bother bending over today, even a little bit because then I will be 'mooning' everyone...so thanks mom for making me feel like a whore bag in this super short dress... OK moving on...so I've got some pictures today from my photo shoot after I got my hair done...& I have on 2 new items from my fall wardrobe this season...my shoes especially I am so excited to show you...i def broke the bank when I bought them...but I couldn't resist... 

 Blouse: Free People :: Jeans: Willam Rast :: Boots: Sam Eldeman  Pretty simple yet chic outfit - skinnys tucked into the boots ( don't try to tuck in boot cut jeans, it will not happen or look good no matter how hard you try) a sheer blouse, rolled up a bit on the sleeves added a nice pop of color with the dark red polkadots & some short booties with fringe to add some flare....low key jewelry, low key hair...less is always more. this is my perfect fall outfit...

vacay recap!

soooo I'm back from my amazing vacay in Oahu, Hawaii! it was just a short trip & of course i wish i was longer, but I'm happy to be home...I'm just lucky to be in love with where i live

once again Hawaii didn't disappoint...however, I am use to going to Maui. I’ve only been to Oahu one other time when I was younger so this was still kinda new to me & oh man was i shocked...

we stayed at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach located smack in the middle of Waikiki...our hotel was on the beach so it was very convenient....but even better; I was literally surrounded by stores...& i don't mean your  typical shopping mall stores...i mean huge, designer stores....everywhere i looked there was Tory Burch & Louis Vuitton. I was in heaven...it literally was like Disneyland for shopping...every single store was so beautiful & so brilliantly merchandised...i felt like i was in a museum of art, that’s how amazing it was....and let me tell you i have shopped everywhere - SF, LA  & NY & this by far was the best shopping I have ever come across (until i go to Europe that is)...don't worry i took plenty of pictures...but because I took so many each day this week will focus on different store, so get excited!

today’s post is just going to be a "photo dump" of my Hawaiian vacation! so sit back & welcome to paradise

getting all her goodies for her bloodys
