There’s nothing a pair of peach pants, stripes and a little bling won’t cure.
Happy Thursday my fabulously, but definitely not average, friends!

The last time I wore these floral printed pants, I styled them up real nice with a stripped button up and my favorite ankle strap wedges. This time around I wanted to tone things down a notch and paired them with a simple linen top (fitting for the 109° weather we had yesterday) and my new favorite T-strap wedges from Blowfish Shoes. I’m totally loving the end result! I might just be kicking that lack of inspiration feeling to the curb. I guess it’s just a matter of analyzing what you’ve already got stocked in your closet and reworking the usual combinations. And yes, these are the puppies that I had on my birthday wish list. I decided I deserved a little something for making it to 27 in one piece.
P.S. The title of this post is a nod to a colt favorite;)

This trench vest is a recent acquisition from Forever21. It was part of a mini-shopping spree I allowed myself to have for my birthday. I’ve been on the hunt for a trench vest for FOREVER, so when I spotted this classic gem I just had to snatch her up. And I’m pretty proud of her because she already has gigs lined up for the summer days to come. Something about a trench adds a little bit of polish to an otherwise bohemian outfit, as seen here.
And don’t you just love my scarf! It’s light and airy and absolutely perfect for the Arizona dry heat. I love Karen Kane because of the quality of her pieces, such well made items and lush materials! I scored this pretty scarf at the Arizona Blogger Conference. It was in our swag bag, along with other goodie. I’m totally lusting over many of the KK new arrivals right now and have to resist going on an all out spending craze. The power of being broke, I guess.
Like my scarf, this Big Buddha clutch was also a freebie. I won it through a giveaway hosted on the Go Chic or Go Home blogger community site. Are you familiar with the GCOGH? As the creators, Cynthia and Robert Brown, like to put it, it’s “Facebook meets Pinterest for personal fashion.” I totally suggest you head on over to the GCOGH site and submit your e-mail address via the invite request! You won’t regret it!

I wish I had a witty anecdote to share with y’all today or something profound and fashion worthy to say about this outfit, but I’ve got nothin’. I wore it to work yesterday. Yep, that’s it. But since I’ve spaced out, enjoy the ABC’s of me! Happy Tuesday my friends!

It’s funny how the outfits you put no thought behind sometimes end up being your favorites. Exhibit A: this here ensemble. Because I had last week’s posts planned and accounted for I didn’t intend on getting gussied up enough to take outfit shots. I wore this dress, fully aware that no photos would be taken but something about the way it made me feel- easy, carefree, giddy-coaxed me to document it. And you know what, it photographed quite nicely and I believe the giddiness behind these shots. I felt awesome all day! Why I’ve only worn this dress once after finding it at Target for a mere $7 is beyond me but I’m happy we’re reacquainted. The hat was added as the fella and I were heading out the door for dinner. It was the cherry on top, if you ask me!

I was originally going to wear this outfit to the Arizona Blogger Conference that’s taking place this coming Saturday but obviously decided against it. I wanted to go with my trusty python printed pants (alliteration anyone?) because they add a little pep to my step, or swaggy as the Biebs likes to whisper to us. I always seem to have just a little more confidence and a little more swag when I wear them. And if you were wondering, yes I have used swaggy in casual conversation before.
Speaking of the Az Blogger Conference, I am super excited and can’t wait to attend! The (first and hopefully annual) conference is brought to us local bloggers by the Phoenix Style Collective. Remember the PSC launch party I attended a couple months back? Well they are bringing yet another amazing event our way and are even providing swag bags, not to mention the awesome speakers and opportunity to meet more local bloggers!! Ok, I think I’ve expressed enough excitement. But don’t worry, I’ll report back with the details next week;)
Happy Wednesday my loves and welcome all the new Tumblr friends!

There’s something about this outfit that screams 70s fashion but I can’t put my finger on what in particular. I feel like the secretaries back then would wear a variation of this ensemble; a modern take on a 70s classic, if you will. Maybe it’s the incorporation of a prominent ‘neutral’ from that era: Bordeaux. Such ladylike appeal that will never go out of style. When I purchased this vintage blouse about a month back I knew I would get my CPW (cost per wear) out of it. It’s light weight, flowy and floral (in a subtle way)- all aspects I look for when looking for a Spring/Summer staple.
Thoughts?

Although the fashion gods would like us to believe that color blocking is a new trend that made its debut sometime last year, we all know that it’s been around for ages. Sorry kids, nothing new here. The only difference is that now designers are doing the guesswork for us, as they are pairing complementary colors and designing dresses, shirts, shoes and everything under the sun for our purchasing pleasure. However if you don’t have the cash to shell out on the trend, here’s an easy formula that you can apply to your own wardrobe. It’s about the simple, solid pieces we all already own. And trust me, you don’t need flashy colors to get in on the trend. As long as you’re coupling solid colored items, you’re good to go! Exhibit A: today’s ensemble. I tend to have my best color blocking outfits when I’m styling girly hues (seen here and here) but a more neutral pairing would do the trick.
Thoughts?

Another Monday, another outfit post featuring my white skinnies. And trust me, this won’t be the last you see of them, as they are a summer stable and I plan on wearing them well through the end of the year. It’s allowed when you live in a state where the pools are open year around. I wore this outfit on Friday fully aware that I looked like I was ready to trek through the jungles of Panama or go on a safari ride through the Serengeti. And yes, this is my hair oh naturale. I was a bit hesitant to not only let it loose for the first time since moving to AZ but also to post on FabAve. I know, I look cray-cray but when you’re still fighting off strep and on a time crunch, you don’t have 2 hours to dedicate to your hair. Yes, you read that correctly: TWO HOURS!?! My own little jungle to tackle! A new, fancy blow-dryer will need to be included onto my birthday wish list, cause the one I have is pure junk. That’s what $16.99 at Target will get you, I guess.

Oh and the winner of the Plain Ivey Jane giveaway is Katie Mokrycki! Congrats Katie!! I will be emailing you shorty, so keep an eye out. Thanks to everyone that participated:)
With pastels and neon’s being all the rage right now, I felt it was only appropriate to bust out a trusty color pallet. Always on trend and loyal through and through, blue has been around forever as a classic and traditional go-to color. I tend to steer away from shades of blue all together until I realized that I have been hording quite the collection in my wardrobe. One shade of blue I’ve never been very fond of is navy blue, but lately I’ve wanted to pair it with pops of pink, yellow and red for a nautical look! Yesterday I opted for a more monochromatic ensemble with hints of orange to brighten things up. And you want to know something? I didn’t hate it!

So yesterday I reentered the workforce and boy was it rough. 213 emails and a case of the Monday’s will stress a girl out. So a simple, easy outfit was in order. As you can tell I’m a sucker for Kohl’s, more specifically the celebrity LC Lauren Conrad collection. All of her pieces are so young and feminine and easily affordable for the fabulously average female. I was still feeling a little off but nothing a few polka dots, pleats and a cream blazer couldn’t fix! Add some gold detailing and I was ready to go.
Oh and I want to wish the fella a happy birthday! Today he turns the big 2-7! He is officially dating a younger woman. However that doesn’t last for long, as my birthday is a couple weeks away. Nevertheless I am currently younger…HA!

Happy Monday my lovelies! I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! I’m finally feeling a little better but this weekend was rough. Because I was sick I’d been stuck at home for the past couple of days but on Saturday the fella and I headed to Scottsdale for some lunch and a stroll around downtown. It felt nice to take in the sun and be a part of civilization again. It was a really warm day; however this 81 Poppies top courtesy of Plain Ivey Jane was ideal for the light breeze. I’m in love with the fun print and colors! When Sarah, the owner of Plain Ivey Jane, suggested pairing it with white skinnies I couldn’t agree more. The colors pop against the white denim and create a great Spring look.
