DayGlo

Coming from a girl who proudly proclaims to love neutrals, I sure am attracted to all the bright neons that are taking over fashion and beauty this season. I am so tempted to paint my nails like the picture above (on a weekend I'm not working!) The Lubus would be welcomed too.

♥ Madewell & OOTD ♥

Ever since I went to Madewell last week, I have been stalking the website. I've heard wonderful things about J. Crew's sister store but there wasn't a location near my area. I'm always hesitant to order online from a company I don't know well. How's the quality? Is the sizing true? Petite friendly? How do I order when I have no idea what to expect? Until a Madewell opened up at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Ca. My opportunity was just a car ride away.

I walked in and tried on clothes like a mad woman! Everything I picked up was so soft and beautiful. It was all...made well.

These are some looks from the site that I am obsessing over and ultimately saving for. The price point is a little higher than I'm used to paying for clothes. You girls know I mainly shop at H&M, Forever 21, and Nordstrom.

 So much prettier in person. I want to go back for this!

Garment dyed midi shorts



Skinny skinny jeans

I wanted it all but left with the Trellis top in warm ginger, an airy blush/nude color.

Top - Madewell, Cami (underneath) - Madewell, Jeans - BR, Peep toe quilted pumps - Zara, Camel bag - MNG by Mango (JCPenny), Turquoise bib necklace - H&M (love!), Lapis colored ring - YSL Arty, Nails - Wet n Wild's Blaze

This top is going to be a staple for Summer. Thankfully, it's light enough to wear in the heat. I'll throw on my white eyelet shorts, beaded sandals and voila! Fresh, clean colors.

Have a great weekend loves!

Weekend in San Diego

I spent a deliriously happy (girls) weekend in downtown San Diego. My best friend and her boyfriend recently moved to the Little Italy area, a quaint neighborhood filled with Italian eateries and fun boutiques. I've never been much of a city girl, but visiting the big apple last year changed my mind completely. I think I've always been leery of the hustle and bustle of living in a city. Too many people inhabiting a small space, too many loud noises that would undoubtedly fray my nerves. But with that comes excitement, and an energy that pulls me outside my nervous little comfort zone. It's good for me!

Farmer's Market on Saturday, around the corner from her apartment.

Blogger favorites: French macaroons and fresh flowers

San Diego harbor

My BFF. We enjoyed Bloody Marys on Sunday afternoon.

I've been trying to hunt down a pair of Steve Madden bow flip flops, first seen here on Veronika's blog. I tried to find the ones she has, but learned they were sold out everywhere I went.

These are by Michael Kors, and I spotted them at DSW! I suggest checking them out if you can! Pretty similar.

Just a quick post that i wanted to share =)

Happy Tuesday!
