Ready to shine

The latest collection from Grey Ant is full of wonderful pieces from loud eighties pink to ethnic prints there is something to please everyone. I love the simple shape that flatter the body and the dresses that hide flaws and showcase the sexy parts of the body.

Happy Friday + stay cute!

Nice dress and jacket from LIFEwith BIRD.

Eat like a local

Tuesday I finally ate at Pokez a Mexican restaurant in East Village downtown San Diego. I am so glad I tried this place and wish I would have gone in sooner. The portions are generous and the food taste great. Don't let the sign scare you this place is great for vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters. I know the sign says vegetarian but they serve meat dishes too. The prices are very wallet friendly and I just love the atmosphere. If you are ever in San Diego make sure to stop by this place.

I have the blues

J'aime mes jeans

Let piggy live!

Drop the hammer and step back from the piggy bank pretty girl! This super cute dress by Launderette is only $35! This number can be worn during the day to run errands and can be easily styled to be worn to a date or night out.

Poolside Friday

I love painting my nails various pretty colors, what I hate is the nasty smell and how dark colors can turn your nails yellow, yuck! That is why I love Sula so much, their nail polish is water base and does not have any Formaldehyde, Toluene and Phthalates – the smelly stuff, and is also free of the remaining cancer-linked ingredients still found in standard polish.

Going to L.A.

I'm going to LA today and I was inspired to create a look that is my take on LA style. Gladiators sandals from Free People, bag from Urban Outfitters, shorts from Anthropologie, tank and swimsuit from Forever21.

Top pretty

I love wearing headbands mostly with my hair pulled back and I have fallen for the ones by Bambako.

Fit like me

Workout clothes, that fit well move with your body make you look hot, thank you Roxy.

Note taken

I am so smitten by Japanese company D-Bros. sticky notes arranged like sliced fruit.These note pads come packaged in the foam protective netting often seen at supermarkets to protect fruits.
