Transitions

The irony of life is when a personal transition happens as a season is changing. 

 All the sudden kids go back to school and I am ready to start wearing "fall clothes", chunky knits, opague tights, cashmere, saddle shoes, boots, I picture it all. The problemo is - it is still hot, and summer.. 

so, I gotta make do.
and
I will wear white jeans till I feel like it, sorry Labor Day!

sweater, jeans, flats: Old Navy (all current)

"After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away."

 - Carrie Bradshaw

Le Petit!

I have never and will never be PETITE.. however, I swoon for Le Petit Ermitage in West Hollywood.
HELLO LA GEM! 

A lovely girlfriend I know through work has her own fashion publicity firm (LSPR) and she threw this event for her client LOFT in conjunction with Guiliana Rancic to raise money for Breast Cancer, and it could not have been more of a success! 

SHI, SHI, SHI DARLING! 

new jeans that I swoon for - Forever21+ (current and avail online)

I am a girl who loves leopard and printed pants- regardless of size, I may go as far as to say they are flattering on bigger girls! 

Bow-Down

I love bows. My wedding dress had the largest bow since the 80's and anytime I see an item of clothing with a bow.. I swoon and give in. This ASOS number wasn't the most forgiving but I adore the inside out zipper and the bows.. so it was too good to pass up!

dress: ASOS curve

shoes: H&M

and YES.. 

the boat is called "little Bacon" OY.

S.O.S

I am trying to ride the wave... the heat wave!

 I honestly can't seem to get dressed in the morning when it is already 78 degrees before 8AM. Knowing that my office air conditioner won't keep the room below 80 by 4PM when the sun is beating in, I have to be prepared. 

Do I smell? Is my hair curling?

Don't you fret.. I keep lululemon pants in my purse..

AND,

not because I might work out, but because I might need to be more comfortable.

Frumpy Friday!

Sometimes by Friday I finally feel energized, like the manic Monday blues have worn off, and I am ready to face the world again... which in turn means I blow-dry my hair in the morning, I put on some semblance of makeup and face the world! OTHER FRIDAYS... I feel like the week has been months and the best I can do is get dressed and get to my office on time. This is one of those... however, I also sort of embrace these days - as it is time for me to embrace my inner boho-chic/namaste and go with it.

t-shirt: Gap pure (current)

pants: Target (current)

I don't know what you want to call these pants - Palazzo-ISH?

whatever they are.. I like it, for any size, shape!

FINALLY, FRIDAY!

Sweaty before Sunset!

I have to tell you guys, I adore, live for, embrace and bask in summer. When daylight savings time springs up.... I always take advantage and feel the emotional swing of "seasons". 

All of that being said... it is a wardrobe challenge for me to get dressed up for dinner in the summer when it isn't dark out yet and the sun is beating down on me. I can't wear a jacket - I refuse to be uncomfortable and shvitz my way through the night.
 You with me?
