Fishtails & polkadots are the perfect ingredients for a summer ensemble, and this outfit is no exception. My week away for work is coming to an end and i'm ready to return to the promise land, which is my hometown of course. The forecast this weekend calls for date nights and frozen yogurt. TGIF my loves.

Happy Friday lovelies, I hope you all had a fantastic week and are looking forward to an even better one ahead. I've got a few things on my plate for the weekend including car shopping (fingers crossed) i've been in need, after my car accident last month. I'm also planning on playing catch up on my Engagement album which I have still not put together and hoping to get started on reading Divergent over the weekend. Have you read the book? Thoughts?What are your weekend plans?

Happy Monday! I've been saving this outfit for a while now, because I just love the look of yellow and blue together! I topped this look off with a berry lip stain, platform brown heel, and teased high ponytail. 

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the sweet comments about the Proposal Story that I shared last night. I've been hesitant with sharing personal stories on this style blog, but I am looking forward to sharing more of myself with my readers.

Have an incredible week!

It seems to me that when we get older, we somehow - inexplicably - start to turn into our parents. At what point did "I can't believe they are so lame" turn into "Wow mom, your right, baking banana nut bread on a Saturday night is a great idea!" It baffles me. I see misbehaving children and immediately resist the innate urge to scold them. But wait, that was me. Truth is, that along with the shortage of social skills and genuine lack of energy there are also some wonderful parts to becoming your parents. For example:

- We can learn to cook real dishes. Like with meat and sautéed vegetables.. what?

- Being able to recover things that we ruined in the laundry. Shrunk? Pink Socks? 

You. Can. Handle. It. 

-You realize what a Nazi you are when it comes to household chores. The direction utensils are put into the dishwasher, the importance of dusting on a regular basis, and never -ever- sleeping past 10 AM on the weekends.

- Developing this "anything is possible" attitude. My mother raised us as a single mom, and she learned to fix plumbing, kill ridiculously scary bugs, and create anything she needed. 

My intuitive sense of "DIY" definitely comes from her. 

(although i'm still working on the killing bugs part)

The future looks bright.
