I absolutely love experimenting with different swimsuit styles. Every season I try to pick one item that is a little different and new for the year. This year, I can't wait to try out a one-piece again. It's been years since i've put one on and they are not like they used to be. Dark swimsuit styles are perfect for every body type and I like the ones with small cutouts. Which is your favorite?

WEDNESDAY WISHLIST: Black Blouses

When discussing wardrobe staples, there are a few things that come to mind. A great pair of jeans, black pumps, and of course your go-to black blouse. Strangely enough, I was inspired to write this post by a new pair of shoes that I just got. My black wedges, seen here are new for the summer and therefore require some planning!

Which black top is your favorite?

Happy Monday! I finally had a chance to get out of town and enjoy a day (and a half) at the beach. My favorite part? Well, we spent the morning playing in the waves, laying by the pool, and finally relaxing in the jacuzzi. Some afternoon showers cut out beach day short and we headed in around lunchtime to avoid the storms passing through. After a brief lunch and nap I woke up to a quiet condo and headed over to the wrap-around balcony with a blanket and a book. I finally made more progress reading "The Fault In Our Stars" than I had made in weeks at home. Watching the rain come down with a view of the beach was so serene, it was absolutely breathtaking!

Now it's counting down the days till the next vaca...

Happy Tuesday readers!

Well, the inevitable is upon us. Fall has fallen and when I woke up to a whopping 45 degrees (Fahrenheit) this morning, I knew it had finally come. The last few weeks of beautiful summer weather had to end (as do all good things) and now it's time to pull out the boots, scarves, and blazers. Not that I am entirely complaining - Autumn is my favorite fashion season. 

In order to give a proper welcome to the months ahead, what do you say to a special Wednesday Wishlist: Boots edition? 

I think it would only be proper. 
Farewell summer, we will miss you.

Hey lovely readers, long time no read. I know. I was being the fabulous jet-setter 

that I am and traveling the world. Well, not really- just to New York- 

but Manhattan could be it's own country.

I had a wonderful trip and look forward to posting my "Week in Instagram" tomorrow 

and hopefully some great looks now that i'll be back to my routine.

I wanted to thank my loyal readers for sticking through my vanishing act and I 

pinky promise that one of my New Years resolutions will be to post regularly.

I have some exciting ideas lined up including a few gift guides for holiday shopping. 

Of course I will do a for him & for her (& for all budgets) but I'm open to other suggestions.
 For the Novelist? For the Gadget Guru? Shoot me some of your hardest shoppers 
and i'll try to work my magic!

I hope you liked the look of today. A few weeks ago I did a post on Maroon 5, and 

posted that Maroon would be a big player in fall fashion. I stick to my prediction and 

came up with this simple look to show how versatile maroon/burgundy can be. 

Stay tuned to see me pair these pants with all types of neutrals (white, black, gray)

 and maybe even a cheetah print. Here's a little more black & burgundy inspiration:
