LUNCHBOX

It is beyond HOT here in AZ and nothing sounds good for lunch these days because I am full from drinking sooo much water & I dread getting in my car to grab something.  However, at Whole Foods today I came across these Asian garden rolls with peanut sauce and they were so refreshing & healthy too.  I also put in the freezer a Naked Smoothie for an afternoon snack in lieu of a protien bar.  It is nice to find something else to add to my fairly routine lunch choices. I will definitely do this lunch again & again!

VA VA VA VOOM


I'm really digging this orange dress on Jamie Chung.  The plunging neckline is very flattering and I also like her coordinating lipstick.  The dress is back in stock for $299 & comes in black, white, and hot pink. Purcahse here

NUDE ESPADRILLES

Espadrilles are BACK IN STYLE these days & they are literally everywhere.  The trick is finding the right pair!  I like simple nude espadrilles because they go with everything and the neutral color makes your legs look longer always a bonus!  I own these wedges that I bought last year and never wore until now! 
*Apparently guys think they are hot shoes, the same goes for white bikinis, & white pants?!?  I will never understand the man's brain!
Mine are Enzo Angiolini purchased last year

COLOR ME RAD




I am in LOVE with this dress! I just contacted the nice girls at Hallelu and they just got this back in stock & will be putting it back on their website today!  I am sooo ordering this, only $53!

*Got my dress in the mail and it's exactly what I expected... I love it!  Runs true to size
Bright colors are so in for summer and the pictures above inspired me to brighten up my accessories and wardrobe!

RECYCLE

What a simple and pretty floral arrangement.  Use the tomatoes to make a family style Italian dinner and use the can as the centerpiece, Genius!

GIDDY FOR SUMMER

These Blu Moon Heart Shaped Shades just scream summer to me or maybe it's the giant pin-wheel lolipop that reminds me of fireworks & celebrating the 4th of July in San Diego with friends. Only $22 and they come in red, black, & purple.  Seen here
