peachy keen mint


Finally overcame the maximum laziness that had consumed my life this past weekend and got out into the beautiful sun that's returned to us! My inspiration for this look comes from my blog colors, do you see? I also have a blue color of this maxi dress (seen here), so yes, Zara, you've got me hooked. I adore these comfortable Jellypop cork sandals; added the right amount of (cutesy) pattern into the solid mix.

Super excited that I'm finally in funemployment and ready to catch my dreams! I'll be spending a lot more time in LA (yay!). Who's with me?

in-flight beauty essentials


Don't let the in-fight environment wreak havoc on what's to be included in your glamorous beauty montage of a first class jet-setter. My top essentials to keep fresh looking skin and makeup:

1. Rosebud Salve: perfect for lips, nails, and dry noses.
2. Nivea Creme Tin: tiny, portable, and dutiful. Pleasantly fragrant cream great for hands and dry spots.
3. Boscia Blotting Linens: recycled airplane air makes my skin dry and oily, so I always blot before I land.
4. Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray: to hydrate skin while freshening makeup.
5. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge: simple multi-tasking complexion enhancer. Dab Powder Pink on cheeks and lips.
6. Bobbi Brown Face Touch Up Stick [natural]: for quick under-eye and spot touch ups
7. Bobbi Brown Mirror (similar here): a trusty mirror that is the backbone of the routine. This one has been with me 9 years.
8. Dryer sheet: a swipe to your hair to rid flyaways and static. Original tip here.
9. iPhone: for instagramming your fresh off the plane look.
10. Paul Frank for SkullCandy Headphones (c/o): rock to Franz Ferdinand while touching up and block out the crying baby or the unnecessarily drunk, early happy hour coworkers on a business trip.

floorplay




I had the most fun on this shoot yet! All the elements of feeling confident and inspired and energetic combined to make such a great time playing around.  And I'm so happy to be finally inducted into the fashionable circle of Jeffrey's with his Starburst booties. I've been eyeing these rad ass boots for a long time and I can't believe it's taken me this long to pull the trigger. Today they were destined to be the perfect shoes to test drive my new Level 99 ultra skinny jeggings. I couldn't even imagine wearing something so tight and long in this heat wave, but luckily today was a cooler day and I just reminded myself fashion is sacrifice. But there's no sacrificing with these super comfortable and cute jeggings. Tight on the bottom means loose on top, so I scavenged my closet and found this Zara number tucked away, forgotten and never worn! I never considered searching my closet would give me the same pleasure of shopping for something new. The last special touch to the outfit are these amazingly chic and versatile Tacori earrings. I rarely wear earrings, but I can't take these stunners off! They instantly glam my mood, even in the groggy mornings.  Finding all these new and lost pieces to perfectly mesh together made me so vivacious, that I had to venture into new space and get down on the floor.

cool it


 I've been wishing for summer but damn be careful what you wish for right?! The intense heat has done nothing but pass me out into fat cat naps and make me drink ten times my iced green tea (which might not be so bad after all). Retreating to my usual cool white spot was a relief. Even wearing a light maxi skirt was over bearing in the heat, but oh doesn't it make for a beautiful outfit? Fun fact: it's a dress turned high slit skirt.
