Hope you guys had a lovely weekend! Thank you so much for giving me tips on how to make great excuses when a creepy guy approaches me. They were really helpful!
How do you guys feel about metallics? I personally love to wear them with nude colors and I don’t think they should be worn only at night. Here are some of my favorites! I love that Anna Dello Russo is never afraid to wear whatever she wants. I really admire her for that. She’s who I aspired to be when I grow up!From Left to right: DVF, Balmain, Rodarte, Cynthia Steffe Fall 2011. I love the idea of wearing metallic to work like these ladies do!

It’s been a pretty good week for me and although I’m a little stressed about going back to school, I’m so excited to learn new things! I was about to leave my office today when a guy approached me and started a conversation with me. It was uncomfortable because he first said “My Goodness, what a cute little figure you have! Look at you!”. Then he said he’s from Tennessee and how I can probably detect his southern accent and how he has ten siblings and blah..blah..blah…He’s a lot older than I am (I guess in his late thirties) and I’m already too creeped out by his first remark so I just smiled and didn’t say much. I wanted to leave but I didn’t want to be rude so I listened to his ramblings for about 10 more minutes and finally he said we should hang out (No thanks!) and left. How do you guys show a guy that you’re not interested and turn him down politely? I’m really curious because sometimes I don’t know what to do or say!Gorgeous new compaign shot by Garance Dore for Petit Bateau.Love these outfits for my weekend inspirations!What I want to indulge in this weekend..ice cream and strawberry shortcake! 1. The Ashe shirt (Club Monaco) 2. Red Pleated Skirt $69.00 (oasis-stores.com) 3. Brass Knot Necklace $455.00 (charmandchain.com) 4. ASOS Flat Round Tortoiseshell Sunglasses $25.86 5.

It’s not easy living in Hawaii because we have the craziest weather (I’d like to think so!). Imagine walking down the street and you see the sun is shining and all of a sudden, the downpour comes and you look up and the sun is still shining like it’s nobody’s business! And the wind almost knock you down while you’re trying to figure out what to do. See? Three things happening at the same time! Rain, Wind and sun! That’s Hawaii for you!
But it’s almost always warm outside so I usually dress in light layers. Here are some of my inspirations….I love how the skirt is blowing in the wind!These three ladies are so smart! The first one knotted her maxi dress at the bottom to show her shoes and the second one makes the night slip dress looks sexy for daytime and the third one makes it appropriate to wear it for the office by pairing it with the jacket. Genius!I want more maxi skirts! More colors too!
1. painted silk maxidress $225.00 (Madewell.com) 2. long tee dress $88.00 (Madewell.com) 3. darling dots dress $158.00 (madewell.com)I love these equipment blouse so much! They’re a must-have for my wardrobe! Equipment Signature Blouse $345.00 (netaporter.com)Perfect skirts to wear for summer, don’t you think? From left to right: 1. stylestalker Floral Print Chiffon Skirt $206.87, 2. ASOS Dip Back Maxi Skirt $68.96 3. ASOS Pleat Maxi Skirt $86.20
Do you guys have crazy weather where you are? How do you dress for dysfunctional weather?
Have an easy, breezy beautiful day my loves! xoxoxoxoxo

I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend! As always on Monday, I’m faced with a dilemma of what to wear to the office. I don’t plan my outfits in advance though..I’m more of a spontaneous dresser. Sometimes it takes me just 5 minutes to decide and sometimes it takes me an hour just picking which underwear to put on! But today, I think I know what I’m going to wear…a sheer white blouse with black tailored pants. Accessory? A silver statement necklace and a bright yellow clutch. Shoes? My tan sandals. Done.
What about you? How long do you take in the morning to get ready? Minus the makeup routine!
I love the idea of wearing a simple white t shirt with comfy, pajama-like pants!Exactly what I would wear to the office….black and white, bright pop of color and denim shorts!Don’t those pants look so comfortable? But comfort doesn’t have to be any less chic!
