Lady Day: Blue Moon

Royal Blue turtle neck top- American Apparel/ 70s floral print skirt- Vintage/ White gold key necklace- LoveIt jewelry/ Basket weaved clutch- Thrifted/ Rounded hooded shades- Buffalo Exchange/ Soiree- Jeffrey Campbell

     While listening to usual Billie Holiday Pandora playlist while blogging, I started singing along to one of her classics hits "Blue Moon" and knew I had to dedicate this look to the blues legend. Also nicknamed Lady Day, Billie Holiday's deep husky sound fills my soul. She always makes me feel like a classy blues lady, which is exactly how I felt wearing this American Apparel turtle neck and 70's floral print slip. Topping off my look with a basket weaved clutch and Lucite heels, this was my version of a modern 70's stay home wife. Had a nice evening strolling around one of my favorite hangout areas in Old Town Orange. Also hitting up one of my favorite health foods restaurants Rutabegorz, I couldn't resist treating myself to a cup of hot green tea and a slice of rich warm carrot cake:) That sounds like a relaxing evening if you ask me! Now as the Lady of Blues once sang... "Blue moon, you saw me standing alone, without a dream in my heart, without a love on my own."

Dolce Vita: Dishi Blouse

Green leopard collar Dishi blouse- Dolce Vita/ Snake bite pants- Style Stalker/ Round hooded shades- Buffalo Exchange/ Vintage coin bracelet- LoveIt Jewelry/  Black litas- Jeffrey Campbell

      Officially preparing myself and my wardrobe for back to school. Transferring to a new school as well as making a transition into fall season is defiantly exciting! Some recent additions to my racks would be this fun leopard print collar button up complimentary of Dolce Vita :) Was overly anxious to open up another package from DV and almost died once I saw the leopard collar. Decided to pair it with these bad ass, snake bite, lace up pants by Style Stalker. I though this blouse needed a to have a fun partner in crime and to top it off with some thrifted leather Litas. Check out more Dolce Vita's fall 2012 collection and more here!

Lollipops & Polk dots

Reversible polka dot/gingham print shorts- Retro thrift/  Aquamarine striped criss-cross bikini top- American Apparel/ Mint crochet knit- OGU (LA)/ Tortoise shell cat-eye sunnies- Buffalo Exchange/ White & pink roller-skates 

   Summertime Sugar find! Finally like to share with you some new findings and news:) I must say this was one of my most anticipated shoot. Busting out the pink wheels I was overly excited to shoot these bad boys. Getting some looks while rolling around the beach was expected, being that I'm the only one still riding the quads. Yes, I do prefer quads over roller-blades, skateboard, or bicycle... simple because they match my outfit better;) This ensemble kinda of put itself together, feeling like a lollipop roller babe. Found these AMAZING high waisted reversible Polka dot shorts at my work! I fell in love the gingham pink print and then finding out they reserve into pink polka dots... I died! Topping off my beach look with a touched up pink ombre (which is pinker than ever), and I had to throw in a Disneyland bought giant lollipop! What cha think!? Now for more exciting news, I've received more goodies from Dolce Vita! I opened another clothing packaged this time from DV's fall collection. Excited to be featured as a guest blogger again, so stay tune to see the amazing piece they sent me! Much Love!
