I See Spots

Forever 21 top/clutch/booties, Vintage Levi Shorts, H&M cardigan

We were blessed with 85 degrees weather this weekend and I took advantage of it to bare some skin!  I love how playful this top is, conservative in the front, provocative in the back!

I hope you guys had a great weekend!  XO

Sizzling January

Top- BP Nordstrom, Shorts/Clutch- Forever 21, Wedges- Urban Outfitters

It amazes me how hot it is in January.  I'm always cold, so I'm loving the unanticipated sun.  I dressed for the weather too with this funky tribal print top and bare legs.  It's kinda funny how as the climate gets warmer, I would wear more colorful patterns with less accessories and the opposite when the temperate drops. 

It's My Birthweek!

Forever 21 tank/ skirt, Sam Edelman heels, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch and misc DIY bracelets

Sorry friends for the absence, I've been celebrating my birthday all week and I'm so happy to get back on track with reality.

I LOVE this blush color skirt from Forever 21 and I'm kicking myself for not picking it up in other colors!  The dramatic hemline is making me giddy and while I was wearing this, I couldn't help but prance around the streets!  (Don't judge me, it was my birthday!)  I should have made a video, but luckily I saved myself the embarrassment haha

Scissors-happy

Vintage dress- thrifted, Boots- Forever 21, Watch- Marc by Marc Jacobs, DIY bracelets

In the words of Britney Spears, oops I did it again!  I found this cute red dress at my local Goodwill store and for $3, I knew I would make it work.  After hand washing it, I took out my scissors and cut off the sleeves and adjusted the hemline.  Working in an office full of black and grey suits, this dress definitely stood out.

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend! 

Not Cool

Let me share my opinion of the two newest bills that are UNCOOL, the Protect IP Act (aka PIPA) and the Stope Online Piracy Act (aka SOPA).  These two bills (one from the Senate and the other from the House), if passed, will censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business.  Large online corporations such as Google and Apple and millions of internet users have already opposed the PIPA and SOPA.  And this includes us!  What would happen to our online community of bloggers?  Would they censor our creative outlets?  What about music?  Or how we search for random stuff online?  Without Wikipedia, how will I prove to lover boy that I'm right.  Thanks to Youtube, I keep my sanity at work by rocking out to my favorite tunes. 

We've all worked too hard and shared too much to let this happen.  Our founding fathers would turn in their graves if they know we let this happen.  The Senate will begin voting on January 24th.  Please let them know how you feel.  Click here to sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it's too late.
