Die-die-dying over these sequins and sparkles and the simple, slicked back hair. The color, the slight tan and easy make-up. Everything is right.

The cutest puppy in the world (aside from mine). Who doesn’t love a frenchie.?
I wouldn’t call myself a camping enthusiast. But, I do have a healthy relationship with the great outdoors. I can hit up an air conditioned cabin with the best of them! Seriously though, I love music festivals and floating. It’s not something I want to do every day but I do want to look good every time I do it.

Supposedly this is the best margarita ever…I think I’ll try it tonight.
Recipe courtesy of ReadyMade
2 oz. 100% agave silver (blanco) – Recommended: El Tesoro, Sauza Hornitos, or El Milagro (which brings an amazing vanilla-ness to the party)
1 ounce Cointreau – you can use Gran Marnier if you happen to have some, but stear clear of Triple Sec
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
1/4 – 1/2 oz. agave nectar (optional)
Kosher salt
1. Begin by squeezing the lime juice with a juicer or citrus reamer. Use the spent lime half to rim a 4-5 oz. martini glass or a rocks glass, and dip into the salt. (If you like them less salty, only rim half of the glass.) Place in the freezer or fill with ice cubes and water to chill.
2. Pour the lime juice into a shaker, and add the orange liqueur and tequila, and the agave nectar (if that’s what you’re using). Fill the shaker with ice, and shake until your hands get cold, then shake some more. It’s essential that it’s very well mixed and diluted just so with the melted ice, and that comes from shaking. Don’t skimp here; you’re hard work will be rewarded.
3. Retrieve your glass, and fill with ice if using a rocks glass. Strain your shaken cocktail into the glass, and enjoy!
What I’m wearing: glasses – Ultra Studios, suspenders – Claire’s, long sleeved white tee – Forever 21, high waist black pants – New York & Co, blazer – vintage, heels – Forever 21, flower – Forever 21
Sorry I’m not sorry for my GPOY. But I thought you guys should know that they sell suspenders at Claire’s in your local mall and they are worth every penny of the $8.00 I spend on them. They are total outfit-transformers. You could literally wear an outfit one day and wear the exact same thing the next day (add suspenders) and no one would notice you hadn’t changed! No guarantee on that one.
Do you grow tired of my bathroom mirror photos at my corporate office? I hope not because they shall continue…
So I may be there last person to hear Adele’s 21 all the way through but better late than never. The song I found to be the most moving was actually her cover of The Cure’s Lovesong. Ahhh. She’s so talented.
What I wore: turban – vintage from Cheap Thrills, blazer – vintage, jeans – Banana Republic, heels – vintage
I mentioned here that I was a fan of turbans but had not yet tried one out. A few weeks later, I found a vintage one at my favorite shop in Fayetteville – Cheap Thrills. I must say, I got a few ‘complisults’ at work. People said things like, “only you would wear that”. Haha.
Who cares, that’s why I love fashion – the ability to experiment. I do realize I’m taking a risk by posting a photo of myself after brutally judging the attendees of the met ball. Oh well!
So now that you see me in a turban, would you wear one?
