SPOTTED WITH MY BOYFRIEND

Outfit details: Shorts: Gap / Top: H&M / Flats: Target / Necklace: H&M (I need THIS one) / Watch: BCBGMaxAzria / Sunglasses: Versace / Bracelet: Pandora (gift from my husband) and H&M / Head wrap: my mom's scarf / Bag: Aldo (old) (love THIS)

...roll up shorts, that is. I die for this pair of shorts from GAP, as we know the boyfriend style is definitely in and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and I can totally understand why. I wore this on the last day of my vacation to run a few errands. It was the perfect outfit; light and airy and again, perfect for the weather. I decided to add a little sass to this outfit by using my mom's scarf I stole borrowed on my last trip to Brooklyn as a head wrap and pairing it with my leopard print flats.

On another note, I love the pandora bracelet my hubby got me, the charms are lovely and they are a perfect representation of "us," I can't wait to add more charms to it.

SUMMER BRIGHTS

Hello lovelies! So the temps here have definitely gone cray, cray! I have never been this hot in my life! Well life might be pushing it but holy heat! It also seems like everyone is experiencing the heat; my family in New York and Louisiana, my friends in Idaho, everywhere, this heat is not playing. Anyway, on hot days when the temps hits 90's borderline 100's I always reach for a light and cool outfit. Cotton dresses, shorts, skirts and tank tops in the coolest, lightest materials always does the trick.  Yesterday was a holiday here and I went out for a bit and as usual opted for a cool outfit.

Remember by previous post on color blocking HERE,  this outfit is another example.

I hope you all that are experiencing the heat, are staying cool and don't forget to wear your sunscreen :-)

BRIGHT SUMMER

When H&M released these pants last year it was love at first sight for me and I knew they belonged in my closet. I searched everywhere for them with the help of my husband and mom, only to be told they were sold out. Apparently, they were quite popular; I mean I would expect nothing less of such a fantastic pair of pants. One evening my mom called and said she found a pair someone recently returned, I was in heaven.

I am sure, they are screaming, I have worn them non stop since I received them last year. I love that I can dress these pants down, like I did in the photos below or dress them up with a nice blouse and blazer, there are times when I feel risky and I pair it with a printed top. I mean you only die once so why not, right? Plus, if I am out with anyone, I can't be missed. I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.

STRIPES

I am a HUGE stripes lover and I absolutely love, love, love this dress! Last July when I visited my Mama in New York this dress was hanging in her closet begging to be worn, so I decided to help her clean out a little bit, by taking it with me :-)  and because it's a little big I always belt it. I can honestly live in this dress. I have dressed it up with wedges and pumps and dressed down with flat, loafers and sandals. This morning while trying to decide on something to wear, I reached for this dress and was originally going to wear it with wedges but I was too sore (crazy kickboxing class) so I settled for my trusty loafer style flats.

   New York, last July with Target nude flats, Forever 21 headband and Louis Vuitton handbag stolen  borrowed from my Mom.

THE PINK PANTS

Almost everyone I have asked has a favorite color, me? No ma'am, I refuse to settle for a favorite when there are so many pretty colors or maybe I am just indecisive in the color choosing department. As a child I remember my favorite color changing weekly, if not daily. I bought this pair of pink pants (or trousers, as my English boss would call them) on a work trip, when I saw them I was instantly convinced that pink is my favorite color, but somehow they managed to hang in my closet for months unworn, until this morning. So much for favorite color huh.

Am I the only one struggling in the favorite color department?

PS: I finally got box braids! I am one step closer to Janet Jackson Poetic Justice realness :-)
