SHORT TEMPERED

Feel like these neon yellow shorts from J Crew are going to be my unofficial uniform this Summer. I am not sure what I love more about them the color or the fit, but I must confess I've been wearing them everyday as of lately. I simply change my tops and heels and voila - a whole new outfit:) 

Today was another one of those blazing hot days in LA and because I had a few errands to run, I threw on this breezy silk shirt to keep me nice and cool. Funny thing about this shirt is that I first saw it on J Crew website but was always too busy or lazy to go to the store to try it on. So, by the time I got there J Crew was completely sold out. After calling a few stores, I managed to find the very last one in size Large. Determined to have it anyway, I tried it on and I have to say that I rather prefer the loose fit.  Guess the lesson is you never know unless you try:)

LA VIE EN ROSE

(Leyendecker dress, Zara high heel sandals with buckles, Beso Beso necklaces & rings)

Finally I am beginning to feel like Summer is here. We've been blessed with the most marvelous weather lately, with a few ugly exceptions, which I decided to completely disregard. Very happy to finally wear a few of my new Summer dresses, including this gorgeous dress by Leyendecker in my favorite shade of grayish pink. 

In other news, you may have noticed my blog is undergoing a few changes. I just felt time has come to simplify the layout a little. What do you think of the new look?

DETAIL ORIENTED

(Gifted Winter Kate Riya dress - StefaniBags.com, Zara heels, 3.1 Phillip Lim Minute clutch,  Asos spike stretch bracelet, also loving this one)

Really fell in love with the tribal pattern on the front of this dress, and of course the black and white combination is so timeless. I like a little black dress with a bit of drama, like an interesting shape or fabric or a bit of cute detailing. 

Another obsession of the moment seem to be clutches in all colors and sizes. Funny, it used to be all about a huge caryall for me. The bigger, the better. I mean, leaving the house without a cosmetics bag, 2 hair brushes, 3 organizers and a bunch of Emil's stuff, which always magically founds its way into my bag - unthinkable! But now, I am finding that a smaller purse is much more efficient. At the end of the day, I really don't need to have 7 lip glosses with me all the time:) Yesterday, it only took me about 30 seconds to find my car keys, a new speed record, believe me:)

This particular clutch by Phillip Lim is a favorite! I got a few emails about it, yes, it's white on one side and black on the other. Cool, right?! It's like two bags in one!

GAGA FOR GREEN

(Zara sweater & heels, Jeans - old, similar here & here,  Asos spike link bracelet, also loving this one, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag, other cute shades here & here, JCrew bracelets)

Hey Everyone,

I want to take this opportunity to ask for your help because I am facing a true hair emergency. I've been using the same shampoo for the past 6 years. Before I found Fresh Milk & Rose shampoo my hair always looked like a tangled mess, but once I started using it my hair became pretty silky and manageable. Well, about 3 weeks ago I found out it's being, gasp, discontinued!!!!  I am down to my very last bottle and I can't find it anywhere!!!! So, if anyone knows a pretty good moisturizing shampoo I am completely open to your suggestions. 

Oh, and I continue on my quest to wear every shade of green imaginable. I am pretty gaga for green lately:)
