Stripes

Hey loves, hope you are having a good summer. It seems like it is going by so fast. Enjoying the milder weather because it is so much better to have blue skies and warm sunshine without scorching heat. My ensemble includes a mix of stripes bold coral and neutral colored pants. I have always loved stripes, dots and leopard and always find a way to incorporate them into my style.

I love these shoes and it is rare to find a closed toe strappy shoe. 

I have had this blazer for quite some time and of course I snagged it from the sales rack at Old Navy. It looks like a typical blazer in the front, but has some unique gathering in the back of the jacket.

 I am reflecting on what a great weekend I had. I went to a concert and had a great time with a good friend. It reminds me that no matter how busy we get, it is important to take a little time to enjoy ourselves. Don't you agree?

 This clutch was made by a friend and I and it is reversible and can be worn white and black or black and white. Truly a versatile piece. I love it!

It's been a minute since I posted a recipe, but I am really enjoying all the great produce available in the summer months, so I will be sharing some great salad recipes with you

 So much going on this summer, but enjoying every bit of it

 Have an amazing week!

Bumblebee

 Happy Monday loves!  I know I sound like a broken record every time I apologize for my lack of posting due to my schedule, but life has been hectic, but in a good way. I had a great weekend. How was yours?  In just a couple of weeks I get to celebrate my birthday. YAY!With the hot weather lately, I have been wearing more summer looks. Today I am wearing goldenrod and black. This color combination reminds me of a bumblebee:-)

I have been loving mint green on my nails lately

There is something very sassy about peplums that I like. Although the peplum has become a trend, a peplum is still a very classic look and never really goes out of style

Do you like yellow and black?

Have an amazing day!

Rainbow Sherbet

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I had a pretty good one and anytime the weekend involves Lobster and a Lychee Martini, it's bound to be good:-) 

I am wearing a simple nude dress with my rainbow sherbet colored scarf and  a cute Indian Bag I have had for ages. I love neutrals with vibrant colors.  I think my favorite part of this look are the accessories. I am not at all thrilled with how I look in these photos, but everything can't always be perfect. Are you ever self conscious about your photos?

This scarf has ice cream colored tones, but is vibrant at 

the same time

 Dress: F-21, Scarf: Love Culture: Bag: Indian Boutique, Shoes: DSW

 The butterfly ring I am wearing is one of my favorites. It is very symbolic for me. I have a whole collection of butterfly rings and when I wear them I think about how far I have come. And now I can spread my wings:-)

Have a great day!
