Orange Skittle

Hey Loves! I have been missing in action for a long time. Three months to be exact. I just didn't feel like blogging and wanted to focus on other things in my life, but I am back! It is fall and we are still having summer weather, so these are recent summer photos that I never posted. 

There is nothing like a burst of color and this vibrant orange dress makes me feel like a skittle:-)  This shirt dress has been getting heavy rotation in my closet because it is to easy to style and wear different ways. I have worn it paired with nude shoes and accessories and I recently wore this with a pair of vibrant multicolored strappy sandals. This can easily be winterized by pairing with boots and a scarf.

I think gold always looks great against orange, but I decided to pair with silver and pewter accessories

Have an amazing day!

White and Minty

Hey Loves! Well, summer is long gone, but not the beautiful memories, popsicles, ice cream cones, amd the vibrant color. Mint green is one of those colors that brings to mind spring and summer, but is is a beautiful color that can be worn all year long. I am wearing white pants and I really don't care about that stupid fashion rule about not wearing white after Labor Day. Who makes these silly rules anyway?

The hidden platform on these shoes makes them very comfortable. I have been able to walk in these without my feet hurting. I often keep a pair of ballet slippers or flats in my purse to put on in case my feet hurt and with certain shoes, I have no shame in swapping them out for a ballerina slipper because walking like your feet hurt is not cute. Right?

I think mint pairs well with many colors, but I love how fresh it looks against white, taupe or tan. It looks awesome with gray too. What are your favorite colors to wear mint with?

On a beautiful day I love to kick back and enjoy the sunshine. Even the worst day is made better by beautiful sunshine, open air and a refreshing drink, or time spent in quiet meditation

 

 

Have an amazing day!

Orange + Polka Dots

 Happy Friday loves! I am so excited about this holiday weekend.  It means eating slabs of ribs dripping with barbecue sauce, grilled burgers and dogs, picnic potato salad and laying under a tree in the park. YAY! And of course recognizing that the day is about more than barbecue, but about taking a moment to recognize the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

I am super excited to have been featured on the fabulous Oh To Be A Muse Blog. I want to thank Cheryl, the lovely woman behind this wonderful fashion blog. You can see the feature here. And of course, I would be thrilled if you head over there and show me a little love:-)

 I love the color orange and if you have been following for a while, you know that orange gets lots of play in my wardrobe.  I paired this cute little H&M orange dress with some splashes of black and white. for some reason polka dots always put me in a good mood.   Stay tuned for some fun changes I am making to my blog.  I think you will love them!  So, what are you doing this holiday weekend? I plan to have my face in a plate of barbecue real soon and me and my little one will be off on one of our adventures this weekend:-)

Vibrant Thing...

Hi Beautiful Ones! I have been so busy and there are so many changes occurring in my life that I have not posted as regularly as I usually do, but. I expect my schedule to return back to normal in a couple of weeks. I have some really exciting things brewing that I will share soon. It is fall and there has been a mixed bag of weather. Rain and cool winter breezes one day and hot summer heat the next. It is actually raining off and on today with cumulus clouds, but since it is not cold rain, I wore something light. There is a slight chill in the air so it won't be long before I start wearing more coats and scarves. Today I am combining gray with a bright pop of yellow and fuchsia  I hope you are having  a fabulous week so far!

My son said to me, "Mommy the sun is sleeping today" How cute is that? LOL! The sun did make a brief appearance, just long enough for me to wear my shades for a brief moment:-)

 

 Positive change requires a step in the right direction. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step...

 

Have an amazing week!

Orange!

 

Happy Wednesday! Summer might be over, but it is HOT HOT HOT! I am wearing orange and feeling happy! There are some colors that just make you happy and orange is one of mine:-) I paired my bold orange dress with neutral accessories and love the result:-) It is 104 degrees and since it looks like this heatwave will continue for a while, it might be a minute before you see me wearing pea coats and scarves. I haven't posted any poetry in a while, but I have been writing and will share some good stuff with you soon. And when I do, please read it! I know its tempting to just look at the photos, but I promise you my writing will make you feel something...stay tuned 

And as the weather cools, I will get back to cooking and baking more and posting my delectable recipes too! This heat makes me want to stay out of the kitchen even though I love cooking.

 There is nothing like a waterfall on a hot day. I actually got in this water, but I spared you those photos...LOL

I thought this vibrant green was a great contrast for my orange and neutrals

I cant get enough of animal print and adore these animal print bangles

Enjoying a little summer breeze

 

 Can you tell I hit the weights pretty often? LOL
