Life is a Zoo

 Shoes: Alcie + Olivia // Pants: Free People // T-shirt: Modcloth // Purse: Kate Spade // Sunglasses: Rayban // Hat: Thrifted

I am big on comfort, which I am sure my blog has completely mislead you about this. In reality, I wear comfy leggings and airy, slouchy tops most days-effortless is what I am all about, at just about any given day. I somewhat revere and admire those fashion bloggers that dress like they are about to step on the red carpet, with every outfit. But that's what sets them apart from me. I am lazy and they are not. They think out every detail of their outfit while I just sometimes hope what I throw on matches. I will one day master effortless chic though...one day just like Olivia Palermo or Erin Wasson has. I will one day throw something on with my eyes closed and I will look fabulous! One day. Yeah, I've got a long way to go.

This outfit is an example of what I like to wear on a more regular basis. Comfortable footwear is very important to me-but of course it's gotta be cute as well. Let me impart some of my retail wisdom with you: spend money on something that you will get use out of, such as comfortable shoes without sacrificing style. It will save you money in the long run because if you buy those skinny heeled pumps, you will also have to buy the comfortable ones- as soon as you realize you can only walk a block in those heels! And those skinny heeled pumps will mostly be just eye-candy in your closet. Aren't I the fashion sage? Not really, I am just learning through the years. I hope you have a fantastic day!

Looking Over Fences

 Dress: BCBG (Old) // Shoes: Kate Spade // Hat: Unknown

Isn't life alot like looking over fences and wishing for something you can't have? I've always wanted to be a writer but I have a long ways to go. But I am determined to be one, so move over Stephanie Meyers! I wish I could say that about J.K. Rowling but I think she will always be queen.

So, I can never get enough of white houses and white dresses. These are two things that remain constant hankerings of mine.When I become a best-seller author, I am going to live in a grand white house with a wrap around porch (like this Rockefeller winter estate behind me) and I'm going to have a massive walk-in closet filled with white dresses! I think these two things are enough of an incentive for me. But for now, I will have to make do with looking over fences. I sure hope you are having a wonderful week!

Breaking Rules

One fashion rule that has stuck with me since, I don't know, since I first picked up a fashion magazine, is to not wear white after Labor day. Not that I stick to this rule but honestly by Labor day, I am already in fall mode and don't really buy summer stuff anymore. An exception to this is if there's a killer deal (just today I snatched up some Hudson shorts for $10, I just couldn't turn turn that down!)
So, there's alot of things that have kept me busy if you're wondering if I fell through a rabit hole or something. I have been MIA in all media sites actually, such as Facebook and Instagram, but not Pinterest(oh no, I can never give up Pinterest). Shortly after the Virgin Islands, we went to Texas to visit famiy which I will share some pics of our litte safari from that trip. Also, I have been reading alot (6 books in 1 week would qualify for alot, at least I think so) oh and I caught the nesting bug and have been redoing things in the house like Pinterest has gotten ahold of my soul. Throw in too that I've also been working on getting certified for medical transcription editing, oh and did I mention I am writing a book? Writing is my first love beyond blogging, photography, or any of that (despite that I'm terrible at grammar and punctuation. Don't judge me). Writing is my favorite thing to do and it feels right when I do it. Have you ever felt that about something? I am always itching to do it and I have been putting it in the back burner for too long. I'm working on a young adult series and I've got a long ways to go. For you nosy book worms, I will keep you posted if I want to start a blog or something. I hope your week is wonderful!

Part 3: The US Virgin Islands

A Thing For Spring

I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to pictures (ok, with clothes too). I will take a bunch of photos and they pile up in my hard drive. Then I forget about them instead of sharing them with you! These pictures were actually from back in early March and I am just now putting them up. Like I said, I'm a hoarder (ok, and a procrastinator too). Are you a hoarder of anything?

Miami: Part 1

We took a mini vacation to Miami this past weekend. It was our first time there and I am so impressed by this beach city! It was beautiful there! The water reminded me of the Cayman Islands and the city had a mini tropical NYC feel to it (except cleaner). I almost felt like I wasn't in the US because it seemed everyone there spoke a different language. If you haven't been to Miami, I highly recommend it! We are already planning to go back.

One of the perks of melting pot cities like Miami is the amazing food! So needless to say, we gorged and gorged some more. The food was great and most meals were followed by Gelato! We ate all sorts of food: Japanese (sushi), Cuban, Thai, Vietnamese, and French food just to name some out of the top of my head.
More pictures coming soon!
