Coral me Mine

Celebrating my bff's bday took over my entire weekend. All my best friends were in town and I was so happy to get to spend some time with them. I over dressed for dinner in this but who cares right? I love how the all black makes the blazer pop that much more. It's a bright coral in person...just looks orangey in the night's flash. Just call me the Burning Mandarin (I love you Katsuya)

Street Stud

Just a casual look to run around in all day. I love the look of a white T with jewelry piled high. Just keep stacking it on... I don't think it will ever be too much. A messy high bun was the easiest fix to my un-done hair this week. I can't wait for the weekend though to get glammed up and celebrate my bestie's bday.

Spend the weekend with those you love and have fun!!!

California Dreaming

My Outfit:

Shorts: Zara

Shirt & Sunnies: F21

Wedges: Ecote at UO

Watch: Michael Kors

I am so excited to share with you the photos from the Gorjana and Griffin California Dreaming event I went to in Malibu last week! It was at a gorgeous beach house right on the water and fully decked out with Gorjana jewelry, Essie Nail Polish, C&C clothing and Chapstick! We got to preview Gorjana's summer collection that included jewelry, handbags, belts and sandals as well as C&C's new summer line all while sipping on cocktails and getting our hair braided and nails done. I never wanted to leave this gorgeous house. We even got to take home an awesome gift bag that included Gorjana flip flops, tanning lotion, lip glosses, notebooks, phone cases and tons more!

I have honestly been addicted to Chapstick since 7th grade. So I was so excited when I met Rene from Chapstick at the event. She sent me home completely hooked up with all the new varieties- Chapstick Sport Ready, ChapStick Moisturizer Raspberry Crème (def my fav..sooo yummy and creamy) and the ChapStick Cheerful Lips Kits which is this adorable little tin that includes three of the classic Chapstick flavors. It will be available Nov. 1st exclusively at Target. I know I will probably need a refill by then so I will be heading there to pick up another one then! Thanks Chapstick!

It was so much fun getting to go to an event like this. I really am looking forward to going to more in the future.

Have a wonderful day! :)

Jackpot

Dress: Everly | Clutch: Tory Burch | Belt: Urban Outfitters | Necklace: Madewell | Heels: Steve Madden

I'm back from a long weekend in Vegas! My little sis turned 21 so it was only appropriate to head to the desert. Since I'm not a skin-tight-dress kind of girl I was super excited about this sky blue long sleeve Everly. If only it had some shoulder pads...yes, should pads. It was a little hot while we were getting down at the club but it was totally worth it. The night was complete when my sis handed me the bottle of Greygoose and said..."Poor this in my mouth at midnight". I have taught her well. Mission accomplished.

Dinner Date

Fun night out with Kev listening to some live music with yummy food and drinks. Love those kind of nights. And I love these leather Zara pants! This is another one of the amazing Tory Burch purses I recently adopted :) I think it may be my new fav.

I get to go to an exclusive Gorjana and Griffin summer preview event today...you know, the one I went to last week to find out that it was THIS week. I am so excited to sip on some wine, get my nails done and take in the ocean breeze while looking at amazing jewels. I'll be taking some pics for you all to see!

Mixers

Bra Top, Tank and Skirt: Brandy Mellville | Wedges: Zara | Bag: Tory Burch

So I did some shopping at Brandy as I think you can tell. I went in just knowing I wasn't going to buy anything but of course...$100 later... But I do like my finds! This is an easy summer outfit that can be mixed and matched many different ways. I already showed you guys this skirt with a different top here. I love these kinds of high wasted flowy skirts as you guys already know. They are definitely necessary in this 105 degree heat. YUCK.

Insta-Love

Happy Monday! Instead of my usual outfit post, I thought I would share with you some of my latest instagram pics! Sometimes if I don't have time to take photos of my outifts I take a quick selfie (I just recently learned the meaning of that...sounds kinda retarded) and post it that way... it's much easier! So here is some stuff you might not have seen yet ...

Shopping at the Americana
