Outfit of the Day: Textured Scarf

This picture was from over a week ago and once again Instagram was the culprit as I post it there but forgot to post it here.

It is a blurry image but I wanted to show you it either way. It was a very cold day and I was indoors most of the day with the exception in the evening hunnybun and I went to do some shopping and had some coffee afterwards.

I was having the worst hair day and with the cold weather which I am a sissy to I did not care. I was wearing all black and not feeling my usual self but when I threw on the scarf I felt warm and soft that it made me wear a bright lip and go out in public to make it a great evening.

Do you ever have those days where you just don't want to go anywhere or do anything? I rarely do but It ended up being a perfect relaxed evening as it was so slow at most stores and we had time to browse without crowds and relax and chit chat over coffee.

OOTD: Winter Pastels

As it is still cold in my neck of the woods I dress in layers for this weather. This desert rat has a low tolerance for the cold I have found that out recently. It must be the fact that it is very warm for almost 90% of the year so I have never really thought about it.

However I cant help but browse through my Elle, Glamour, and InStyle subscriptions to become mesmerized by the beautiful pastels that are gracing the pages and editorial spreads.

This is a super casual outfit of the day look that is realistic of what I wear on any given day just add more layers at night I hope you like it.

OOTN: Birthday Night 2012

Last week Thursday Aug 9th was my official birthday but somehow I have been celebrating and just barely recovering  from the last part of it this weekend. I sure don't recover from a hangover as fast as I used to lol.

For my birthday night look I wanted to keep it clean and simple as I am getting a bit pickier about what flatters my body. Opted for this peplum style look with a creme top and creme and black shoes to tie into the the look.

I hope you can see the peplum has a long tail in the back I loved that about it.

Friend Day: Adriana

Hello lovelies! Today I wanted to share a post with you all that is a few weeks overdue. I titled it Friend Day because that is exactly what it was a day to catch up with a great friend whom I met through our blogs. That friend is Adriana from Little Petite Blog.

She is such a sweet person and although we had met since last year through the blog-o-sphere we met in person late last year and I was honored when she said I was the FIRST blogger she has met in person! We took some time to hang out we are both busy with school, family, among other daily tasks that need to be completed.

We met up for some Yummy Chinese Food and then went to find a location for some infamous outfit of the day pictures. Adriana knows many good locations that are not crowded and shaded from the bright sun. After our photo session we headed to a coffee shop and did a little bit of shopping in the nearby shops as well as browse through thrift stores.

Being silly while shopping.

It is truly a blessing to be able to share on this blog and it has become more of a journal as well as a way to meet great people who understand this whole blogging concept. I appreciate this outlet and I cant even count the true friendships I have made with many of you. Thank you xoxo

OOTN: Pastels and Neutrals

I almost forgot to post this simple outfit of the night. Its a neutral butterscotch colored sheer button down paired them with some mint jeans last worn HERE.

The last thing I decoded was on the shoes and instead of choosing a dark or taupe pair I said why not add another pastel shade to make this more fun along with same color lipstick. I was pleased with the way the pops of color complimented each other and like pastels, plus it was only my second time wearing these jeans which I think I need to wear more. The pictures were rushed and not the best but you get the idea lol.

OOTD: White Casual Shorts

Hola chicas I named this post casual shorts because I was clueless as to what to think of it and that is pretty much how this look came about. I did not put any thought into it and there was no special occasion. This was right before heading out to dinner and after having ice cream, which I'm pretty sure adds volume to myself before taking any picture, but oh well have to take it easy every now and then ya know! lol

Sometimes you just want to be careless and not have to think to hard to dress ourselves. At least that is what I tell myself in order to not feel guilty about not planning an outfit/look.

Do you plan your outfits? Is it easier or do you only do it on certain days?

OOTD: Summer Colorful Look

Hola chicas the summer continues and with it I go along using these bright colors that I cannot stop combining with busy prints which I love. I was originally going to wear a long skirt but did not think it favored me so much. I decided to pair my new Kim Kim pumps which I adore from Fancy Steps with this printed skirt with subtle touches of pink, neon yellow, and a little bit of black with it's rope belt.

I hope you like these pictures as a special friend Adriana from Little Petite blog was my photographer for the day. More on the on a later post.

Fashionably Pink Charity Fashion Show

This event was organized by Phoenix Fashion Week to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation. Phoenix Fashion Week is a group that focuses on Fashion, Education, and Social Awareness and the social issue for this event was breast cancer. This disease has impacted many families and individuals but also brought many people closer and has made the public very aware of the statistics and the severity of this. It is amazing how these women have gone through so many life changing circumstances in a short amount of time but are so strong and have turned this into a positive uplifting experience and are strong and beautiful.

This was a very important night as the breast cancer survivors modeled some pink fashion items along with local and national celebrities strutting down the catwalk in each of their signature walks. The event was held at The MIM (Musical Instrumental Museum) which was decked out in pink accents in honor of this wonderful organization.
