Fluxus Marlo Boxy Skirt

 Oh the plans I have for this little diddy. This delightfully playful red skirt showed up at my door today. There was a bit of confusion at first since I mistakenly put on the medium instead of the small, but once that was cleared up it was smooth sailing from there. I couldn't help but start pairing it with items from my wardrobe. I immediately grabbed my sexy Steven Madden leopard pumps & a fun frilly white tee. Naturally, it will also need some gold jewelry. But as for now... I know what I am wearing for my next date night!

Date with Destiny

Coco Chanel once said, “I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”  


This quote was meant for me today. Today, I had another photo shoot scheduled with one of my besties, Meggie Burr, owner of Meggie Burr Photography, for my lovely little store. We went to the local park & there were people out and about and they were watching us for a while which was a little bit awkward, but it turned into a networking opportunity & a possible sale. I could say that was date with destiny. With that.... this was my outfit for destiny....

Casual Date Night.

Tonight was such a fun night with the boyfriend. It was such an easy & casual night at one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants, Juan & Jaime's, and then we went to go see The Avengers, which was AMAZING! I want to watch again & again. But I believe I need to get back to the point. I made a recent purchase at American Eagle (a rare occurrence) of some fantastic neon cut offs. I have been obsessing & decided to wear them on date night along with my very first Wildfox Baggy Beach Jumper & some really great essential sandals that can't be seen, Dizzy Ring Sandals.

Emilio Pucci Fall 2012

This gown is another stunner. I love the shine on the sheer. I think it's soooo sexy. 

I felt obligated to pick this dress, not jsut because I like it, but because this is becoming a huge trend.  This reminded me of 4 different styles that I've gotten for the store. 3 from Bless'ed are the Meek that are current & 1 that will be from Style Stalker that I will be receiving for the Holiday season. I love the geometrics of this style.  

So if we were to subtract the fur collar from this sweater, I would be all about it. It's so festive & perfect for the Holiday season. & metallic pants? I will have some at the store for the Holidays as well from Style Stalker & One Teaspoon! I literally can't wait. Perhaps I will post pictures later. 

Fur.... Enough said. This coat looks so luxurious, I want to burrow in it for days. haha. 

Emilio Pucci Pre-Fall 2012

I think this jacket definitely has a retro vibe, and although I would feel like a Tubba Chub in this jacket, I ADORE the large fur collar & naturally the oversized clutch. I have this fur fetish lately, and it actually sucks because fur & Arizona do not mix ...but I could definitely use the bag! 

This dress is just stunning. I love the current trend of lace dress & I do love the long sleeve gowns. I wouldn't be surprised if this dress showed up an Awards show. The Star would either have to have it lined or pull a Fergie & wear nothing but her undergarments... Here's hoping it's lined. 

Emilio Pucci Spring 2012 Top Pics

These are just a few picks from Pucci's Spring '12 Collection. 

A gold & sheer slip dress. Simple & Chic. Perfect for cocktail parties or nights out. 

Although I feel that I would never wera this skirt. It caught my eeye. The shape is very figure flattering & I love that it's sheer & glittery. 

Everything abou this works for me, I particularly love the shorts. If I had her legs, those shorts would be mine! ...and I would wear them ALL THE TIME. 

Another Sneak Peek

This maybe the cover of may turn out to be a great first look book! I can't see how the rest of the photos turn out!

Love Her Style

Kourtney Kardashian is one of the few celebs that I feel can do no wrong when it comes to getting dressed! Take this outfit for example. Although it is one of her more simple looks, I love the navy on black with a hint of leopard. Along with some delicate jewels to top it off! Baby Doll Elegance! 

Featuring: Finders Keepers Dress 

Photo Shoot Snip-It.

This is just a little tid-bit from our photoshoot for the store from Tuesday. One of my best friends, Meggie Burr, owns Sheer Bliss Photography. She and her company are the designated Go-To Photographer for my store & any product images & look book shoots. It was alot of fun! I will post more images soon!

Hat Test

1) Genie by Eugenia Kim Cecily Sun Hat 

2) Genie by Eugenia Kim Darcy Fedora

So I know what I'm wearing to the little sis's graduation. Just have to pick the hat.. I like the sunhat better, but I'm thinking it might be a little too "fancy" for Hippie Flagstaff. 

Eureka!

One of my best friends is getting married in August, and thankfully I already know what I am wearing. I will be wearing the Bless'ed are the Meek Eureka Dress. With a congac belt & some nude pumps, I am just about set. I just need the handbag! I figured it's light weight cotton body will keep me cool & comfortable in the summer heat! Now I just need to figure out my first outfit for the dinner the night prior! 

Great Thursday

A blustery Thursday morning... My favorite thing to wake up to.

A funky pic I took in the midst of my Apple photo shoot of myself.
Reppin' the Wildfox White Label White stag Lennon Sweater - AMAZING! 

It's only 3:45, who knows what other great things will happen!

A Bless'ed Sunday

Today was one of those days where I got tired of being so casual all the time. I decided it was time to step it up! I went with a piece I just received, the Bless'ed are the Meek Mediterranean Maxi Skirt. I paired it with my LnA Deep V Tee for a relaxed look, a simple pair of wedges & my favorite charm necklace. I had a meeting with my friend & photographer and we had a mini test shoot for our upcoming photo shoot.   Check out a couple of the pics.

A Little Something Yellow.

I decided this week that I am exceptionally tired of using disposable scotch tape dispensers for my work. Mostly, because it does require me to use two hands to get a small piece of tape. Today, I made a change with this:

Poppin.com

It's a little retro and a little funky. But the color is so fantastic. I would have loved one in turquoise blue, but since that wasn't an option, I figured I could not go wrong with sunshine yellow. It will brighten up every day as I wrap my customers packages! 

LnA for Everyday.

My boyfriend, Brad, and I took and impromptu vacation to Carmel, CA for our one year anniversary, and so that he could meet my grandma & my step-Grandpa. I'm pretty confident that they liked Brad. It's hard not to like him. Anyways, the trip ended up being one of the best times we had together. We took long walks thru town and on the beach & ate a delightful little restaurant called Forge in the Forest. I highly recommend it. They do have the best French Onion Soup that I have ever had! This is a picture of me below, wearing one of my favorite LnA pieces, the Relaxed deep V tee in blue. Literally, I can't get enough. Whenever I am traveling, I make sure to pack it!

Less Can Be More

 It is safe to say that I became quite comfortable in this effortless maxi yesterday. It has a very laid back appeal, and it is definitely something that I know I will be grabbing countless times during the summer. I just need some simple flops to go with. One thing I love about pieces like this, is that is basically not going to go out of style any time soon. 

One Grey Day Onyx Maxi Dress, $132

Zara Wish List

Loving Everything Below! Wish I could go crazy. There are so many great pieces on the site now! 

Zara High Heeled Platform Court Shoe
Perfect paired with some gently rolled skinnies and a white blouse! 

Zara Open Work Square Cut Sweater
throw on with your favorite shorts and a black tank underneath if you please

Zara Cable Knit Cardigan
Just easy going. Not really necessary or one of my favorites on the list, but it looks comfy.

Zara Fringe Mini Skirt
Pefect for a night out on the town. 

Zara Graded Shopper
OBSESSED! I want this so badly for when I travel. 

Zara Mini Party Messenger Bag
This is such a cute piece for spring! Pair with a white party dress or even something a little more casual.

Zara Contrasting Polka Dot Blouse
Polk-a-dots, enough said. 

Zara Two Tone Wide Brim Hat
Necessary for sun time, and in my shopping cart right now! 

Wish List for Ted Baker

The other thing about my trip to London, Ted Baker... We had a stop in the store and I wanted too many things. Here is the visual Wish List. 

The Ted Baker straw bow clutch is such an essential for Spring and Summer. It's so perfect for lunches with the girls, early evening dates or just some "light" shopping. The price was pretty reasonable too!

Ted Baker Bow Wellies. They are black & white, waterproof, and have a bow. What more does a girl really need from rainboots? I think they would look terrific next to my red kate Spades (here). 

The Ted Baker iPad case. Yes, i do already have a stunning Ted Baker iPad case that my sister got me for Christmas , but now I want this one... Ridiculous, I know. But this one is bright & has a bow! 

A little more Zara, please?

Zara is easily one of my favorite stores, and the fact that we don't have one in Scottsdale makes me a little bit nutty. I would die if we had one here & I would be there ALL the time! Okay, so maybe it's actually a good thing we don't have one??? When I was in London, I had been shopping on the website & almost bought a few things, but decided to wait just in case we went to the store. We did go to the store & I loved the whole outfit (not together)! 

*I purchased the Blazer (which I wore on my birthday last Sunday), I love it!*

*...the plaid shirt, I was a little iffy on. I knew it was one of those pieces that I would never wear or that would rarely stay in the closet. Well, I've maybe worn 4x in the last week. haha*

*I didn't buy the shorts, I wasn't totally sold. I wish I had so I am thinking it's time to make it happen.*

Bless'ed Am I to Have Bless'ed Are the Meek

Have I talked to you about Bless'ed are the Meek??? Maybe I should. Aside from the fact that I picked up the line for my store, I have definitely grown quite attached to it. Mainly because of one piece, and then I suppose a second. The first piece is called the Devine Top, and boy is it devine. I'm literally obsessed with it, & need to have a girls night soon so that I can wear it (Perhaps this weekend). The second item is the Turn to Gold Maxi Skirt which I'm a little more hesitant about because my name isn't necessarily written all over it, but I think it could do wonders for my styling life & my wardrobe. See pictures below. 

Bless'ed Are the Meek Devine Top
This shirt is AMAZING! It's 100% sheer, and along the front and back  neck lines are "slits".  The front slits are finished off with small spikes for a little something extra! It's truly spectacular.
**and PS, I almost fell over right before taking this picture, hence the awkward trying not to laugh smile. 

Bless'ed Are the Meek Turn to Gold Maxi Skirt
This skirt is so stunning, in my opinion.  **My mom decided she wasn't fond of it. haha
Anyways, It is also completely sheer white polyester, as you can see & has a series of geometric lines & shapes  composed of black lace throughout. In this picture I have it on side ways. THe slit is technically supposed to be in the front, but it can really either way because of it's symmetrical nature.
I want to see this paired with a black bodysuit & some heavy black pumps (much like my Steve Maddens that I have on) I think it would be a little sultry & completely on trend! Through in some beach wavy hair and some gold accessories and PERFECTION! 

Necessary.

That's All.

Jessica Hart for Easter!

So this is defintiely a new addition to my personal wardrobe. The Baby Doll Dress by Jessica Hart for Pencey Standard!! It is so darling. It has this stunning bright floral print, which also includes tiny snails and gnomes. Yes, I did just say gnomes. I'm not going to lie, I never saw the dress in person prior to ordering it and a month or so ago - I was a little iffy about my decision, but I can say now that I am so glad I got it! I'm sure that I will be wearing it to some upcoming social event, or maybe on Easter! 

SJP never fails me!

Sarah Jessica Parker is easily one of my favorite actresses. She definitely inspires me to try so many different things. Did I mention we have the same birthday, soooo that may be why. : ) Anyways, recently I came across a photo log of her past outfits on AOL, and I thought I would share some of the photos. (none of these photos or mine, nor do I take credit for them)

Here she is in Alexander McQueen. If  saw this dress in person I would probably think it's ridiculous, but as usual she can pull it off. 

This dress is darling, Im a little jealous because this is not a dress than any woman can wear. 

Dreamy. Her hair is long and luscious and she looks effortlessly stunning.

I remember watching this award show, and although I wasn't fully keen on the dress, she was glowing. 

I am OBSESSED with this dress. I want this in my closet pronto. ....and I would like her Barbie doll legs to go with, please!

This is just another example of how she is capable of being stunning and it looks effortless. 

one word: WOW! Love her with the bright blonde hair and the neon gown.  It's so fantastic.
