Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Blake Lively

File this one under fashion icon. Although I don’t know a whole lot about Blake Lively (except that she was stupid enough to leave naked pictures on her cell phone), what I do know is that she can dress like a mofo. I don’t think she has had one faux pas in my book, and that’s saying a lot (I can be a little critical). I mean, honestly what wouldn’t look good on this girl? She is a tall, leggy blonde with a phenomenal body. Total envy!

If she’s your cup of tea as well, check her out in Oliver Stone’s new flick, Savages, alongside veteran hump day hottie, Taylor Kitsch.

What I Wore: Jolly Green Melificent?

Still attempting the “trying to love shorts” project. And I have to admit, I’m kind of losing this battle. I just do not find them very flattering, although I did think this outfit was very cute, festive and summer-y. I’m not going to toss all my shorts in a bonfire anytime soon, but I believe I’ll stick to skirts, dresses, pants and jeans for now. You know who is the real star of this post? MY HOUSE. Isn’t it just the cutest??? Sorry, I have homeowners tourettes. I also loved that I am now able to twirl my hair and apply some hairspray and voila! Instant beach hair! It’s very hard to even consider getting a haircut on days like this!

Additionally I want to thank a lot of you for giving me recommendations last week on places to find great shorts for my body type. As I’m sure you can all tell, I am very petite on top, while my hips don’t lie (thank you Cuban roots), so I appreciate a good curvy fit. I will definitely be checking out Ann Taylor Loft as suggested, and so should all you other ladies with a similar shape!

What I Wore: Sweet Heart

You know how I love a good happy outfit to turn my frowns upside down, and this one is just perfect. The second I put it on and tried to think of a good and fun shoot for it, I couldn’t help but grab the bubbles and tie my hair in pigtails. It was just screaming for it. Every now and then, I think it’s perfectly OK to act childish. Alright, so I pretty much think this is OK every day. Life is too short to take so seriously, would you not agree?

ps; I think I may be completely obsessed with Revlon’s lip butters. Have you tried them?
