I love this shirt dress so much! Whilst browsing through a mall in Miami a few months ago, my husband saw this beautiful dress and bought it for me -- he won major husband points. I wanted to wear the dress off the rack, since I was obsessed it with. The weather here has been crazy hot lately so for my God daughter's graduation this little number was a great pick. I am also totally obsessed with this necklace my friends gifted to me.<br />

I love unique pieces of jewelry and when it comes to watches, as much as I love a classic lady like watch, I love the look of over sized men watches. I would wear my husband's watches all the time, if my wrist wasn't so tiny. I was contacted by the people at <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#islandhipster" target="_blank">Jord</a>, a St. Louis based company, to review one of their timepieces. I was super excited because I've always want a wooden watch. As I browsed through their <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#islandhipster" target="_blank">website</a> I instantly fell in love with all the beautiful watches.</div>

For my review, I chose the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/series/delmar#3" target="_blank">Delmar Red</a> because it spoke to my personality. The watch arrived in a beautiful wooden box, wrapped around a gorgeous tweed cushion. The unique thing about these <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#islandhipster" target="_blank">Jord</a> watches, is that they're made entirely of sustainable wood and are very lightweight and beautiful. To be honest, I expected it to be bulky, but it's far from it, instead you can see all the beautiful grains in the wood. My watch was sized before it was shipped to me, a service they offer to all their customers (don't be like me, leave room for the clasp). </div>

Since I received the watch I have been wearing it at the office
a lot and I absolutely love it, I have gotten so many compliments on the
uniqueness and beauty of the watch and many couldn’t believe that it was made
of "actual" wood. The first time I wore my watch, was to a friend’s birthday
party. I decided to pair it with this beautiful blue maxi dress that has been
sitting in my closet for a while and a red lip to compliment the red face of
the watch. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Take a look at all the beautiful wooden watches <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#islandhipster" target="_blank">Jord</a>offers and let me know your favorite. I have my eyes on the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/series/cora#35" target="_blank">Cora Series Koa & Rose Gold</a> for myself and the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/series/94A#5" target="_blank">94A Series Chocolate</a> for my husband.</div>

The moment I laid eyes on this skirt, I kept thinking about twirling. Not only is it a super fancy girly skirt, but the color alone makes me happy and reminds me of some of the skirts and dresses I wore as a child. I really wanted to keep the attention on the fancy flounce/ peplum detail on this skirt, so I opted for a simple top with lace detailing and my favorite pumps from Sole Society. I love this skirt so much I bought it in two colors.</center>

Outfit details: Shirt: <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/53849?article=53849-C" target="_blank">H&M</a> / Pants: NY & Co.<a href="http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/prod/apparel/pants/bleecker-street-straight-leg-pant-soft-taupe-average/A-prod2860016/#.VNUQIp3F_sE" target="_blank">(Similar)</a> / Shoes: Sole Society <a href="http://www.solesociety.com/ena-new-navy.html" target="_blank">(similar)</a><br />
<br />
While most people have a "work uniform" and I am not talking about the kind mandated by some employers, I am talking about the routine outfit you wear all the time, I am not that girl. While it's important to me to look professional, I won't be caught wearing the same boring outfits every week. On a weekly basis I can be seen wearing anything that reflects my personal style, which I tend to describe as "chic," from a floral dress with a light cardigan, ankle pants with a cute blouse, an outfit like the one above or jeans with whatever choice of blouse I am feeling that day, paired with our without a blazer or cardigan.<br />
<br />
How would you describe your personal style?<br />

Happy Friday! I hope you're all having a wonderful evening and looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. Here's a quick post of what I wore to work last Friday. While I love wearing heels, I also love a cute pair of flats and these Target leopard flats are one of my favorites. I decided to pair it with this oxblood blazer, also from Target and a statement necklace. This look can easily be transitioned for an evening out, by swapping out the flats for a pair of strappy heels / sandals. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend. xo<br />

Who loves boyfriend jeans as much as I do? There's something about them, that given the chance, I'll wear them at least twice a week. This pair from Gap is my absolute favorite, though I don't wear them enough. They can be dressed up or down and still be sexy. I last wore them in <a href="http://islandhipster.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-moonshine-jungle-tour.html" target="_blank">this post</a> which was more of a dressed up look. How do you wear your boyfriend jeans?<br />
<br />
Ps. I am so happy with my shorter hair, I was undecided at first but I am so glad I went ahead and cut it :-)<br />

I am usually in the office before 8am, and on a good day I leave at 4:30, on a not so good day, I leave at 6:00pm.<br />

One key element of my personal style is comfort. I refuse to wear anything that's not comfortable, and that's where Express shirts come in, I love their Essential Shirts, they are so comfortable, soft and feminine and can be worn with nice work trousers, jeans or a skirt. I never plan ahead, when it comes to what I'm wearing, I usually go with whatever I'm feeling and this skirt and shirt was the perfect marriage of color and a reflection of my work style.<br />

I hope you guys enjoyed the holidays with your families. My husband and I decided to stay on the rock for Christmas and have our family over for dinner. My mother-in-law did the New Years cooking. We had such a wonderful time, lots of food, drinks, games and laughter. Overall, we had a wonderful holidays, I ate too much but it was the holiday season so who's complaining :-)<br />
<br />
I love holiday whites, this dress from Lulus has been sitting in my closet waiting to be worn. Since the office is usually pretty slow during the holidays, I decided to go a bit casual with this look and paired this gorgeous dress with my favorite "chanel-esque" flats from Zara which was mentioned in my "<a href="http://islandhipster.blogspot.com/2014/10/currently-craving.html" target="_blank">currently craving</a>" list from October.<br />

Here's another edition of "What to Wear" As you guys know I live in the Caribbean which mean that while some of you are enjoying fall weather, it's hotter than ever where I live. I know I've mentioned one too many times how much I miss Fall, <a href="http://islandhipster.blogspot.com/2014/09/what-to-wear-work-style.html" target="_blank">exhibit 1</a> and <a href="http://islandhipster.blogspot.com/2014/10/currently-craving.html" target="_blank">exhibit 2</a> so instead of creating looks for only tropical climates I thought I'd live vicariously through all of you who are enjoying fall and create a few Fall looks.

I usually spend my weekends running errands and for that I like to be as comfortable as possible, especially in the heat. The accessories I added can be used for each outfit and if you're not running errands and want to dress things up a bit, a pair of wedges or sandals with a cute clutch or cross body bag can easily do the trick. </div>

For the fall looks, if you're like me and get cold easily, a pair of tights and a heavy coat will keep you nice and cozy if you're wearing the skirt or dress. Leather jackets and trench coats are my thing and they are perfect for any occasion, dressed up or down. Oh, let's take a minute to drool over that gorgeous Sole Society bootie.</center>

I wanted to share some of the items that I am currently craving / my current wishlist with you guys. Unlike most of you, who are trading in your summer clothes for appropriate fall and winter attire, I am looking for more summer clothes :-) I live in a 365 days a year summer weather and even when it rains it's still lovely; most of the times...ahh the good ole island life. As I mentioned in my previous post, I love fall, it's my favorite time of the year, and as much as I have a love - hate relationship with island life I don't see myself trading it in anytime soon. I don't like winter! Wait, I loathe winter! Believe me, I have lived in places where I experienced brutal winters. I would cry and wish I was back in the islands sipping on a cold beverage while laying out on the beach. All my whining aside about winter, I can't wait to be in New York in November, finger's crossed for really nice weather.<br />
<br />
What are you guys currently craving / what's on your wishlist? Have a wonderful weekend :-) xx.<br />

Even though I now live in the always sunny, sometimes rainy islands, I love when December rolls around because it gets a bit cooler and I can wear a light sweater, makes me feel like I am back in US. I miss fall, I should also mention it's my favorite time of the year. While all three looks can be fall appropriate with the addition of a pair of tights and a jacket I decided to create the last look with the chunky cable knit sweater because I really miss a cozy chunky sweater. The few I kept are hanging in my closet waiting for me to visit my family so they can come out to play.<br>

After a busy and hectic week, the one thing I look forward to, expect sleep, is date night with my husband. Sometimes we opt for a casual night in where we watch a movie, eat junk food and play games and other times we go to a restaurant for a nice meal and then hang out with friends. I thought I'd create two outfits via <a href="http://islandhipsterblog.polyvore.com/" target="_blank">Polyvore</a>, one casual and one dressy. Don't be surprised if you see photos of me in both outfits because both are totally my style. These two outfits are also perfect for a date night with girlfriends. Let me know what you think. Would you wear any of the outfits?<br />

Last Thursday evening I met with Chrissann from <a href="http://womenwholiveonrocks.com/author/admin/">Women Who Live on Rocks</a> & <a href="http://adventuresintoucanland.com/">Adventures in Toucanland</a> and Ice from <a href="http://foolproofliving.com/">Foolproof Living</a> for dinner. Even though we live on the same little island we had never met, so after chatting via social media we planned to meet for dinner at Cocomaya. It was so nice to spend a great evening with two lovely ladies and get to know a little bit about both of them. I laughed so much that night, I found myself wondering "where have these ladies been all my life?" Believe me they are both HILARIOUS! Overall, it was just amazing to meet like minded women who share the same interest. Head over to both their blogs for a hilarious view of Island life and to learn about Chrissann's three Toucans and get some amazing, tasty recipes from Ice's blog; try the <a href="http://www.foolproofliving.com/baked-ziti/">Baked Ziti</a> it's DELICIOUS! Feel free to blame Ice for your addiction :-)<br />

Venice, Italy oh how I love and adore thee! Even though we visited some beautiful places on our trip, Venice stole my heart! Wait; scratch that, I left my heart in Venice. Words can't describe the beauty of the place and how relaxing it is. Apart from the delicious food and countless slices of Pizza I devoured, what I enjoyed most was walking around San Marco and visiting St. Mark's square, Rialto Bridge, the Basilica and other sites. I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the alleys while gazing upon the beautiful blue skies and freshly washed linens hanging from window.<br />
<br />
I loved that there were no cars! Everything was transported via water and in more ways than one, the place was a maze; there were occasions when we walked around a few times and couldn't help but laugh. Venice exceeded my expectations and I am so in love, I can't wait to visit again. The only bummer was that Marlon and I didn't get to go on a Gondola ride as planned because it rained a bit the evening we planned to go and the temps dropped so there was no way I was getting on the water. I can't wait to visit again!<br />

My husband and I share a God daughter and on Sunday she turned 4! It's incredible to watch her grow, it seemed like it was only yesterday she was a baby and now she's a "big girl". For her birthday, my husband likes to take pictures of her in whatever cute little outfit her mom dresses her in. Since she was having a little pool party, I wanted to dress as cool and as kid friendly as possible so I opted for this tie-dye maxi which was perfect for the occasion. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.<br />

I love a bright pair of pants for work and while I love pairing them with other bright colors, sometimes a neutral color is a go to for me, since it makes the pants stand out more. This pair of violet pants is one of my favorites, I have worn it with a combination of colors and they still seem to stand out; such a gorgeous color, plus Loft can never do wrong in my book, because at 5'3" I never have to worry about finding the perfect fit at their store.<br />

We were there for our friends wedding and they couldn't have picked a more picturesque location. The drive from Montpellier was absolutely stunning! Vineyards, greenery, villages, castles, at one point I felt like I was in a medieval movie. The Chateau where we stayed along with other wedding guest was unbelievably beautiful. I can't stop talking about the wedding it was one of the most beautiful wedding Marlon and I have attended and everyone was so lovely. I can honestly say it was the best group of people I've been around in a very long time. We ate delicious food, drank lots of champagne and danced until the wee hours of the morning.</span></span></span><br />

My husband always makes fun of me when I'm wearing neon colors, his joke is that I can never go unnoticed and that I'll be easy to find in a crowd. Isn't that the point? :-) This neon dress, I can see myself wearing quite often, it can easily be dressed up or down and I love how flowy it is. After a stressful week at work, I felt that Friday was appropriate to wear neon at the office (with a floral cardigan - not pictured) to celebrate the end of the work week.<br />

Rome was such an amazing, beautiful experience. It was so very hot; nothing I'm not use to, but it was a different kind of heat and I didn't mind it one bit. We visited all the sites on our list, ate absolutely delicious food and just allowed ourselves to roam the streets with no destination in mind. We got lost, we walked around in circles, relaxed on the Spanish Steps, visited the infamous Trevi Fountain, had delicious ice cream, pizza, pasta and an array of deserts, that I am now working off at the gym, but it was all worth it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Visiting the Vatican, Sistine chapel and St. Peter's Basilica and Square was one of those experiences I would never be able to explain. The art /graffiti lining the walls of the metro station was surreal, I was in total tourist mode, taking photos of everything!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our best sit down meal, hands down was from a lovely little restaurant called <a href="http://www.dinoetony.it/">Hostaria Dino & Tony</a>! I am drooling thinking of the delicious meal we enjoyed there. No menus needed, just let them feed you, Italian style, you won't regret it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The best thing about this trip, is that I got to experience it with an amazing, amazing, man the love of my life, and I am so excited for our many other adventures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stay tuned for the rest of my European tour. </div>

Paris, France was the third stop on my vacation. Paris holds a very special place in my heart because it has been on my bucket list since I was a child and I have my great grandma to thank for the wanderlust that I am. As a child, I would sit and talk to her for hours about places she traveled and my excitement to visit the same places. She never visited France but it was the one place she and I talked most about. I was so happy to walk the streets and visit the sights I dreamed of.<br />

Paris is breathtaking, filled with tourist but beautiful. From the moment we landed I was in my element, it was almost like the city was welcoming me, the weather was perfect! It rain a bit on our second day there but I loved it, I felt like I got a little bit of everything.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> We walked</span> up the <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Champs-Élysées, ate delicious<span style="color: #252525;"> pastries and food, visited the sights, walked endlessly exploring the city and even walked 4 miles to get delicious Crepes that came highly recommended by a friend. It was worth the 4 miles walk.</span></span></span><br />

London is so beautiful, I was blown away by the character of the city; the busy streets, the breathtaking architecture, museums and the ever so beautiful churches. We did the big bus tour and we loved it, I swear we got off at every stop and explored! I should also add, since I am a big foodie and couldn't stop eating, every meal was hearty and delicious but chips aka french fries in England are out of this world, I felt like I was back in Idaho, they were not greasy and they were made with REAL potatoes, pure deliciousness.<br />
<br />
The best part, was just walking around the city at night and taking it all in. I can't wait to go back.<br />

First stop, Manchester, UK. My husband and I are HUGE Manchester United supporters, so for his birthday last year one of his presents were tickets to "the Old Trafford Experience" which consisted of entry to the museum, a full tour of the stadium and lunch at the Red Cafe. Let me tell you, the tour did not disappoint. It was such a dream come true to visit Old Trafford and our guide Allan was so knowledgeable and he made the tour so wonderful. My husband could not stop talking about the experience, he was so excited. Next on the agenda, I have to get him tickets to go see a game :-)<br />

<br />
Two weekends ago when I went to my hair stylist, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my hair then I remembered a photo Danielle of the Style and Beauty Doctor posted of her hair in a beautiful french braid, to which I commented and told her I'll be stealing her look :-) Even though I have relaxed hair, the minute water touches it, it goes back to its natural state. So my hair stylist created this beautiful braid that I wish I didn't have to take out.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A few of you might have remembered my post </span><a href="http://islandhipster.blogspot.com/2013/09/begood-clothes-sustainable-alternative_25.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> last September when I introduced my readers to BeGood Clothes, a clothing company based in San Franciso. I love the store because they only</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> carried brands that gives back to an eco or humanitarian cause.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">This time, </span><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=567983&U=958146&M=51769&urllink=" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" target="_blank">BeGood</a><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> has relaunched with an organic clothing line. They now offer a line of eco-friendly modern basics at very affordable price points, to include $15 organic tees for men and women and inexpensive shirts and silk blouses. By eliminating the middle men, they are able to offer great pieces for organic pieces.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=567983&U=958146&M=51769&urllink=" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" target="_blank">BeGood</a><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> vets their mills and factories and uses organic cotton and naturally occurring fabrics like silk, modal and bamboo. They also use low impact dyes and biodegradable packaging, among that they have partnered with the non-profit organization Evidence Action, </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">through its Dispensers of Safe Water program (across Kenya and Uganda) for each sale on their site, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=567983&U=958146&M=51769&urllink=" target="_blank">BeGood</a></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> will donate twelve gallons of clean water. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">For the few of you who know me personally, you know I am all about giving back. We are fortunate to have access to clean water and other basic resources that others are deprived of and for that I commend BeGood for their gift of clean water to the people of Kenya and Uganda.</span><br />

I am very excited about their relaunch and even more excited to purchase a few pieces and let you all know what I think about it. </span><br />
