Princesses.

My daughter's Robot Rainbow Hawaiin Hula birthday party was yesterday, and she reminded me that it's more than okay to march to the beat of your own drum. That it's okay to dress up and be silly, have fun, and not take life seriously and to ask for the impossible and make it happen. And so today, I woke up in my own little dreamland, and felt like a princess, so I thought I should dress like one too.

Thanks for always inspiring me, Daisy.

Here comes the pink, the glitter and the tiara.

My daughter, Daisy, has quite the imagination. She requested a robot, rainbow, Hawaiin hula theme for her second birthday, I kid you not. My husband, Mikie, and I were up for the challenge and made it happen. A little glimpse into her fabulous lil kiddie soiree.

DJ Lance and Rainbow Hula Robot even made an appearance.

One... Two... Three

At this point, adrenaline is not just running through my veins, it has fully replaced my blood. I've been working like a mad woman on actualizing a passion project these past few weeks so I thought I would take a nice vacation. Ahhhhh... wouldn't that be fantastic if I had time for that? In the meantime, I've decided to try an emulate relaxation mode by sporting this dress I picked up in Bali. A nice breezy light cotton dress makes for a good pretend mental vacay.

PS - I'm all island out - my bracelet is from Boracay, Philippines.

Oh yeah, it's a true vacay outfit now, homies.

Date night with the hubby - sexy time, oh yeah! Ew, TMI, Marie. TMI. For a split second I wanted to get all dolled up and go to the gorgeous Meritage at the Claremont in Oakland. A couple of hours beforehand, I realized I wasn't in the mood to play dress up. All I wanted to do was be with Mikie and talk, laugh and just hang at a casual romantic restaurant. And that's exactly what we did, my friends. It had been too long since we had a solid block of time, and so we exchanged stories, food and kisses.

I love that man so much.

Romance is alive and kickin.

Event hopping calls for layers.

This is where all my Man Repeller stalking comes in handy - Leandra is a layerin whiz! Of course, my layering skills are much more conservative and tamer that hers, at least this time around.

Walking around in the cold going from place to place, I started soff fully loaded (uh, not that kind of loaded - that comes later in the evening ;) ). Layers are all ON. I always view my outfit in its layered stages since once I'm at the events, and consume a couple glasses of Proseco, I slowly peel off each layer. Cue stripper music. Not!

Jacket not pictured. D'oh.

Ya know my long kimono hot pink vintage jacket? Imagine that over le outfit.

Now, good job using your imagination, kiddies :)

Still Summer Over Here Homies!

Luckily, in the Bay Area, we get an extended summer through October (aka Indian Summer).

Obviously this fantabulous since I am an island girl deep down inside.

I sliped a nude slip underneath my black cover up dress and add a red hot macramed belt with shells and

ta daaaa! I get that summer lovin feelin.

Yeah, it's a little short, but you know what? I'm gonna be complaining about not being able to wear shorts, skirts and dresses soon enough - so for now, I be flauntin my stems yo.

Bonus points to this dress for lookin asymmetrical - totally on trend without even tryin!

PS - I was at Nordie's today on the look out for some cute fall boots and man - I realized, I can totally sport this dress come the cold with some hot knee highs. Score!

Mixmatched.

Ever since I got my custom chucks I've been wanting to find different ways to wear 'em. But honestly, I keep forgetting because they're always tucked away in some random place in the car, in an overnight bag, behind my laundry basket, or deep in my closet. #)@*@#!

So fiiiiiiinally, I found them and decided today was going to be the day that they're going to throw it back to you. By now you should've somehow realized what you outta do. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you nooooowwww...

Okay, enough of my awesomest singing voice in the whole world and onto my white and red polka-dot, zebra tongued fabulous shoes!

Mixmatched said fabu shoes with a houndstooth short sleeve peacoat, short lil black dress with a peekaboo lace detail, and highlighted all that with a hot pink tank underneath.

Sometimes rule breaking can feel so good!
