Summer Tone on Tone:: Retail Therapy in Khaki!

I went to the mall for some cool down last night and for some retail therapy.  It was just a weird day all around and I just wanted to unwind with some window shopping. 

To find out what I wore...

First Day of Summer - Summer Whites!

Happy First Day of Summer everyone!

It was a beautiful day worthy of the first day of summer and even though it eventually clouded over, we got good use out of the sunshine! 

 I decided to wear my summer whites in honor of the start of the season!

to find out what I wore, read on!

Sheer Blush and Neutrals

Today was a cloudy day but I was still hopeful that some sunshine will peak out of the clouds even for just a little bit...It was busy at work but I pushed through to get some paperwork done, even if not all...I love sheer blouses lately, I guess you could even say obsessed! I love that they give that feminine touch to a normal work outfit! 

To find out what I wore...

Ready for an interview!

Monday was an unofficial stat day for me and so I had a day to get around and do my 'off-day' errands.  One thing that was unusually on the agenda for the day was an interview. 

I've been checking my options work-wise lately and had a chance to take a meeting with a company that looks very promising.  Of course i wanted to make a great impression and be someone that stands out so I decided to dress for the sunny weather with pastel and cream!

to see my full outfit...

Errands night: quickie mall run!

On thursday night, my boyfriend had his boys night out and i decided to use the time to make a quickie run to the mall to run some errands.  It was a quiet night for me lol but that was okay, it was much needed and deserved.  I was saving my energy for the upcoming weekend ahead anyways!

to find out what I wore...

more NYE pics!

So I was able to grab some pics from my cousin...basically most of the same pics but I loved the NYE pics we had!

Guess Spring Accessories: Mauritius collection

Mauritius Handbag collection from Guess

Absolutely love!  Weave patterns, always on trend for spring. 

 

Double Duty Outfits: work to happy hour!

I am one of those women...

9-5 work weeks and happy hour with the gals when it's been a rough week.  I live in my work clothes being that I work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day (lunch not included lol).  I find that having pride in your look says alot about you to your clients and customers, and looking good and presentable gives them an impression that you mean business.

With that said, there is nothing wrong with wearing outfits for work that double as an apres work hour socializing with the gals.

If you're like me, then you would appreciate where I'm coming from with this entry.

Today's work outfit is the Black sheath dress...

I take my fashion queues from Ms. Beckham--a great sheath can give you a sexy yet professional look at the same time.  Great fit and fabric are important, and that it hits every curve of your body correctly!

This one was a relatively inexpensive sheath.  It was about $30 bought at a smaller boutique store (which the name narrowly escapes me at the moment) and is my fave go-to for work.  It doesn't reveal much and yet hugs every curve of my body perfectly.  It is also a great outfit for work that, with a few accessories, can turn into an after-work gathering outfit! luvs.  In order change up for the night time, one can just switch accessories like add more blingy jewelry and either change shoes or pair with a different blazer or jacket, and voila! social hour outfit in a snap!

In this pic, I paired a simple black sheath with taupe guess plaform pumps and topped it with a red Aldo belt for effect!

It's all in the weaves for spring/summer 2010!~*

beats:: poke her face - kid cudi (sudden onset of funny music somewhat makes me smile lol)
outfit of the day:: same as below
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: same as below lol

So again, I'm filthering through the online pages of Elle Magazine for what's new (since I'm sort of refusing to buy magazines at the moment) and before I could find what I was searching for, bam! I find another thing that catches my eye! lol.

I love woven accessories, they are so spring and summer! I've always gravitated to woven bags and jewelry even shoes when the warmer seasons come around, regardless of the trend.  I think that a woven bag or wicker shoes (such as a wicker made handbag) feels so light and airy that it just screams summer.  I luv luv the intricate weave design.  Apparently, Elle Mag has agreed with me, featuring the Woven Accessories for their spring trends.

I recently saw a wicker guess handbag from the Guess Accessories store on Robson Street on one of my jaunts with the cuz.  It was quite cute, though fairly pricey for a seasonal item.  Must find something inexpensive but just as fab! Shopping mission!! lol ~*
