What I Wore: Casual Edge

Over the weekend, I tweeted that I wanted the world to know how much I loved my pair of James Jeans, and several days later, I have refused to take them off. I think they are just the best thing since sliced bread. I know what you may think. Any pair of jeans labeled as super skinny are surely not going to flatter anyone unless those two words also describe their body type. Guess what? My pair of Twiggy Super Skinnies do not only flatter my curvy frame by making me look longer and leaner, but also are beyond comfortable. I’m pretty sure we may be packing our bags and running away with each other in the very near future. Sorry, husband.

What I Wore: Holiday Card Shoot


I always look forward to “making” our holiday cards each year. I mean, what’s not to love? I get to have fun taking adorable pictures with my hubs – can’t hate on that! Although I won’t unveil the actual holiday card until Christmas day here on the blog, I figured it was a perfect opportunity for an outfit post – and another excuse to show off my adorable new haircut!

What I Wore: Neon in the City

One of my favorite places in LA is the LACMA. I have to visit every time I’m in town and I’m never disappointed with their temporary exhibits. This time we were fortunate enough to enjoy one on Stanley Kubrick and all his legendary films. Can you believe I’ve only seen one (The Shining)??? I have to say, after completely enjoying the entire experience, I totally find myself wanting to immerse myself in his work. Movie marathon!!!

Something else I really enjoy? Sheer shirts with bling! I have no idea what draws me to own so many sheer blouses, but I hope the trend never goes away. It must be my tropical blood – wanting to be covered, but still airy enough to not suffocate in the Miami heat. Unfortunately for me, that was not the case while I was in LA – it was freezing! Shortly after I took these photos, I had to borrow the hubs’ cardigan to shield me from the elements. Before you judge, remember, I’m tropical, OK?

What I Wore: LA Living

I’m back from vacation, and I come bearing gifts! Namely, an outfit post! It feels like centuries since I did one, but I’m glad I was able to squeeze a few minutes out of our hectic visit to LA in order to shoot one. We were there for a friend’s wedding and had entirely too much fun. The weather was spectacular as well, allowing me to pull out all those new winter items I never get to rock back home. Leather jackets, boots, scarves and this immensely comfy sweater tunic. And yes, I’m bringing back jeggings (did they go away?) because they are possibly the best article of clothing when you are jet lagged, tired and hung over – not that I was any of those things when these photos were taken. I promise. 😉

What I Wore: Jewel Tones & Glitter Collars

Oh color. Oh silliness. Why do I love you so? Not really quite sure, but any excuse to bring both those out is one I will surely take and run with. This past weekend was my hubby’s birthday and we put together the infamous Pinterest balloon wall. It came out great, but unfortunately, we were all too busy socializing, drinking wine and enjoying ourselves to remember to snap pictures of people in front of it. What a fail! Oh well, at least I was able to take advantage of it for my outfit post! And I think it may be one of my favorites to date.
