mad maxi

I have never before found a maxi that actually reached to the floor on me, usually the fabric is just flapping around my ankles. Not a good look! Much to my surprise, I actually have to wear heels with this one, which is probably why it…

mixing patterns

Today I took my addiction to stripes one step further and made life a little more interesting by doubling up the prints in this outfit.

chiffon

Another day another open button down! This time I picked a chiffon top from American Apparel. I’ve had it for years, and when I worked for them I pretty much wore this top or the same in white everyday. Normally I am all for loose pieces so it’s a good contrast for this fitted…

gladiators

I have wanted a pair of gladiator sandals since I was in high school. My mom even almost bought me a ridiculously expensive pair my first year of university but I talked us out of it because I thought I would be over them by next summer. You’ve heard me talk about how…

cross body

I have been in love with the Celine Nano Luggage bag since I first laid eyes on it, however the price is a bit above my comfort zone. Especially since I am enjoying this vacation so much, it puts spending into a different context…bag or another trip? Looking for an alternative but not a replica,…
