Friday's OOTD...

I posted these photos on Facebook but with my TV production schedule, I didn't get a chance to update my blog in time. These are just a few photos from last week when I was finishing up my last pulls before the weekend.  It was so hot and I didn't want to wear shorts (I hardly wear shorts) or pants so I slipped on this very cute and flowy polka dotted skirt that I got from H&M. There's a fitted slip underneath so although the top is flowy, the slip keeps everything intact. My top was gifted to me by my sister Kashia. It's a collared button up and is actually a very nice green. I tucked it in for a little bit of sophisticated appeal and just added a touch of color with my belt and necklace. With polka dots and stripes, it's very easy to fall on the "tacky" side so break it up with solids and colors. Keep it minimal and you'll be alright. 

After the day ended was when we went to "Concert at the Park" with the OOTN that I have on my previous blog. I didn't want to add more photos to that blog so that's why this one is by itself. Tomorrow night is another "Concert at the Park" with a Tribute to Tim McGraw. Can't wait!  

I'm on my way out to find a new dress for a Fashion Show I am attending tonight. Will update on the show tomorrow..

Have a great day!

My golden shoes...

It's been a long day but I've managed to get everything I needed out of the way. One more trip tomorrow and I'll be ready for the weekend.  I do look forward to getting dressed up in the mornings because I always try to have fun with whatever is still hanging in my closet. I'll usually start with one piece of garment (i.e. my top) and base everything around it. I have a lot of black in my closet so I'm always trying to mix and match.  I also don't want to wear the same outfit twice (the same way) so it can get a little tricky trying to make something old look new.  The last thing I do is look for my shoes, my purse and then I'm done. 


I call these my "golden shoes" because they've been in my closet for at least 8 years and today was the first time I've worn them. I have another golden pair of heels but I've worn those before.  These are so comfortable but I was never able to find an outfit to go with it. I guess I wasn't trying hard enough.  They are a size 5 and being that my foot shrunk, it fits like a glass. 


I love my job because I get to shop almost everyday. Of course, I don't always shop for myself but I always stop in to look, try on a few things and I'm on my way...  I have a photographic memory when it comes to wardrobe so I'll know exactly what the store has, where it's located and what the latest trends are...crazy, I know. 


One last thing I'm wearing are these adorable Sunnies from Trendy Hip Buys (my favorite online vintage boutique). I love how they look, the size and mostly the functionality of it. I wish these were prescriptions! I have a few more from THB's that I haven't worn yet.. Stay tuned for more..

Super cool glasses.  They do look like Minnie Mouse ears too right? I'll bet you people at Disneyland will be asking me like crazy where I got these glasses! I can't wait to wear them the next time we go there. 

Tomorrow is "Concert at the Park" featuring a Tribute Band for The Eagles and we'll also be wearing our newest ATF and BFA tees! 

Have a great evening! 

A touch of Red, White and Black...

It was a full day today waking up super early to take Aidan in for his dental appointment. I love having a doctor that I can trust with my conversations, my family and ultimately my life, so it's been quite a journey trying to find the best doctors for Aidan. We finally found an amazing dentist "Dr. Dan" who is so sweet, so professional and after only one visit, he remembered us! His staff is so nice and the office is very kid friendly and visually attractive to the eye. I wish it was my dental office too! I do have a great dentist though and the BEST optometrist ever (Dr. Suneet Gupta). His staff are the best ever and sometimes I secretly wish I worked there too.. haha. Ok enough about Doctors.. I can go on and on... 


After I dropped Aidan off, I had a gazillion things to do. I never made it to "The Dressing Room" but I was able to pull more stuff for my "Body Shapers" blog that is still coming up soon.  I don't usually like to blog about something I haven't tried myself so for those of you who have been waiting (patiently) or are interested in this topic, just give me a little bit more time. I want to make sure I really love the products and have actually used it before I blog about it... 


I have a long day tomorrow in LA for another production meeting so I'm going to turn in a little early tonight. I hope you have a great evening.

Have a Great Night! 

Vintage Teal...

It's been so hot this past week so staying inside my AC home is the number one ideal. I had some work to attend to, some pick up for ATF and a lunch date with one of my best friends so I had to leave the house for a few hours. I also got two amazing calls today for more work and I'm just so blessed with what is coming my way.  More on that later... 

You can't really see the details of this dress because I wore my vintage teal jacket over it.  The dress has a racer back sleeveless cut and the dress has an empire waistline.  The dress is very flowy and would be such a great dress for dancing in stilettos lol...  I don't know where I put my blow dryer (since Vegas) so I've been putting my hair in a bun and just throwing on my hats. The weather doesn't make me want to put too much products in my hair but I didn't even realize how nice it was today. My sunnies and purse are also vintage! As you can tell, I love mixing highs and lows as long as it makes sense. I love wedges because I can still add height without the discomfort of a pair of heels. Wedges make walking so much more comfortable and fashionable.  

I hope you have a great day!

Have a wonderful Thursday! 

Summer NEON Polishes and Trends....

It's been quite the summer lately. The heat here in Southern California is really reaching the hundreds. I have so much "shopping" (for work) to do but I dread stepping out into the heat.  Watermelon has been our number 1 snack and my ever so loving Sparkling water hits the spot with a dash of lemon. 

I love how the wonderful Spring trend has extended into Summer. Floral prints and Neon accents have truly gone full circle.  I am a child of the 80's so these 2 trends have always been a staple in my closet. I actually have a bright Neon Yellow bag that I haven't even carried yet. I must find the perfect outfit soon! I'm also looking forward to getting pattern, mostly floral print tights because I love wearing tights under a larger sized tunic, v-neck t-shirt or under one of my longer silk collared shirts.  Neons, tights and straight legged pastel jeans are my current obsession at this moment.  

I've been changing my nail polish at least once a week "just because". I think I'm going to change back to my Neon Pink for this coming week because it just brings out my tan even more. I'm naturally tan but Neon just takes my skin color up a notch.  It also accents outfits that I would have never thought to pair up together. I have to admit, I've been a lot more riskier lately so playing is name of the game. I just love all the brights of this season.  

In addition to nail polish, I've also been so obsessed with Vintage Sunglasses. I've been picking up high and low end sunnies solely because they look good.  Sometimes you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on one pair because there are so many cute ones for 1/2 the price! Remember, it's not how much it costs, but how you put it together that matters...  

American Apparel - 3 for $15.00

I usually use my BUTTER by LONDON base coat, then I use 2 coats
of polish and finish the BUTTER top coat. It's not gel, but it works
just as well.  Since I change my nail polish so much, a week is very long for me!

BUTTER by LONDON Nail polishes run $14.00 a bottle but I got the special
2 (Base and Top Coat) for $25.00. The nail polish is also a favorite of mine
and goes on very smooth and is also a longer lasting polish as well.

A little Polka Dot

I love this little button up, orange t-shirt, polka dot dress because it's a little bit of casual and a little bit of fun. I've had it in my closet for about a year (maybe 2) and this is just the 2nd time I've worn it.  It felt like new again.  This season has really allowed us to play with every color, pattern and mix matching of different textiles, colors to prints.  I remember when Fashion had a "rule" now it's all about being an individual and expressing who you are on the inside out.  I say, take that challenge and have lots of fun with it. I look forward to dressing up everyday and going through my Dollhouse to see what I can put together... These are photos from yesterday and I'm already excited about today.

I also got a call late last night about an EXCITING new project and I'm so happy. I can't announce it just yet but wow, when one door closes, another opens right up, so don't ever give up hope.  God is always watching out for us and of course, already knows how it's going to be.  Anyway, I have a business meeting on Thursday and you know I'm already thinking ahead.. What to wear? ...  To be continued.....

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Feeling a little Peachy

Today is such a beautiful day.  Had a few Dr's appointments, errands to run and Aidan's recital rehearsal to attend to.  I also visited Sears to grab some household amenities so I had a chance to see what the new arrivals were from the Kardashian Kollection. They have this black one piece Surplice Romper that was very cute and perfect for the summer. I didn't get it yet but perhaps I'll go back and get it along with the Kim Sexy and Curvy denim. That's my favorite pair of jeans from the Kollection.

Today I decided on this fun and flirty peach dress from H&M because its so feminine and sexy with just the right pair of nude heels.  Since I was going to be doing a lot of walking, I went with my vintage pumps.  I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

At Aidan's Dr's office waiting patiently. He asked if he can take a photo of me.
He's become quite the photographer!
(btw, I switched to my Nine West nude heels. I keep this one in my car)

I loved this little Surplice Romper for the summer from Sears (Yes, that's Aidan laying in the back lol)

Happy Friday!
