Just stopping by to...

Say "Hello" and to apologize for my lack of updates. For those who have full time jobs, they understand that sometimes work can get hectic and take up most of your time. That is currently my situation. With work and traveling (for work), it can get hectic and tiring. Besides work, I was out traveling for my birthday celebrations and other celebrations. I will post pictures of those fun times soon!

I was able to take some pictures this week of my outfit, but guess what? I am back on a plane and heading back to Chicago. I am headed to Lollapalooza! Which I am so excited! Make sure you follow me on Instagram because I will be posting pictures of my outfits. Any of you are going to Lollapalooza? Let me know!

Enjoy!

Xo,

Lisa

Jean Shirt and Full Skirt..

 

Kind of day. And I am grateful I wore these pieces because it was warm!

I know I have mention this before in some old blog post, but I love jean shirts. I find them so practical for warm weather as well as cold weather. You can dress them up or dress them down. They can be used as a shirt, or a layer. I absolutely love them! Recently I paired the jean shirt with some black pants, but today I decided to pair it with a full skirt. The combination reminds me of a uniform of some sort, but I can’t figure out it out.

Also, you might have noticed that I am wearing my hair up in a bun. Shocking, I know! I hardly do this, I think because I find my hair to be my security blanket. Also, I have A LOT of hair that when I do put my hair in a bun, it gives me a headache because it can get heavy. I know that sounds ridiculous, but if you have a lot of hair and its long, you understand what I am saying.

With that said, I am excited about this weekend. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s by Saturday. After spending most of winter in a cold snowy city, I have come to appreciate any kind of warmth. Being from Southern California, you tend to forget how lucky you really to have warm weather 95% of the time.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. For those of you who didn’t work on Monday (I hope you took some time to thank and remember those who gave up their lives for this beautiful country) because of Memorial Day, hope you are having a wonderful short week.

Xoxo,

Lisa

P.s. Ignore my un-manicured hands and also the length of the nails. As you know I am big sports fan, and my team the LA Kings (Hockey Team) is in the playoffs which means, I am biting my nails like crazy. I know disgusting but I can’t help it. Any tips on how to stop?

Shoe Organization...

Well many of you know that I am BIG shoe lover. I admit I must have over 300 pairs of shoes both designer and non-designer shoes. I don’t discriminate; I love all kinds and brands of shoes. Well my collection has outgrown my space and now I am trying to come up with ideas on how to store them. I have some on my bookshelf, as well as nightstand, side tables etc. I like to display my shoes because I honestly think they are pieces of art.

Since I have outgrown my space, I’ve been looking online on ideas. And I have seen many but the following pictures are just incredible. Some of these girls have rooms filled with shoes. Sadly, I don’t have a spare room I can use as walk-in closet for my shoes. But it’s always fun to look at what other girls have done and also dream of what I would do and how I would set up if I was able to do have a walk-in. A girl can dream right?

If you’re a big shoe lover, I am sure you are going to enjoy the following pictures. If you have any ideas or want to let me know how you organize your shoes, comment below! Enjoy!

Summer Spring Day!

Today the temperature is over 95 degrees. And although it feels more like summer than spring, I am loving every moment of it. Sure, I didn’t love it yesterday while at work with the broken air conditioner but today the air conditioner is working and I’ve been able to step outside to enjoy the sun for a bit.

Have you notice that when the sun is out, people seem nicer and friendlier? I guess those rays do help people’s moods.

Anyways, since it’s been crazy hot, and I thought the A/C wasn’t going to work, I decided to wear this light weight dress. It might not be an appropriate corporate environment dress, but when do I ever wear things that are appropriate to work. Sure, I don’t wear “club” clothes, but I find the typical corporate dress code BORING! And what’s the worse than can happen? Send me home! OK! I’ll go home and enjoy this weather! Hahaha. Jk!

Hope you are having a fabulous Tuesday. Don’t worry, we are closer to the weekend :)

Xoxo,

Lisa

Happy Monday!

Although, I really want to say there’s nothing happy about it and it’s more like horrible Monday. Its 100 degrees outside and my work air conditioner has broken down. Just imagine a room full of bodies, no kind of ventilation, everyone complaining on how hot it is. Yes, not a good way to start a Monday.

But I won’t ruin your Monday and I hope its going a lot better than mine!

With that said, this weekend was great. The weather was amazing, hence why I decided to wear shorts all weekend and show them on my new outfit post, I was able to catch up on my magazine readings, TV shows, shopping, friends and family, and what I needed the most, some sleep! I couldn’t ask for anything else. And yes, I did have those drinks I was craving on my last post. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Xoxo,

PS. Ignore those creases on my hair. It was extremely hot and I even started to sweat (gross, I know) so it was making my hair wavy.

Let's Sail Away...

with my nautical clothing. 

Like I mention in my last post, the weather has been perfect. One thing I love about spring is being able to wear dresses.  I am now able to wear dresses I bought during the winter. 

Today I decided to go nautical with this striped dress. Since its short sleeve, and I had to go to work, I put on my Brooks Brother Blazer which I LOVE! For the first time, I feel like a blazer was made for me. It fits perfectly without tailoring. If you're petite like me, go to Brooks Brothers and browse through their petite clothing. I know petite clothing can sometimes be ugly but they have amazing pieces and fit well. 

With this nautical outfit I decided to take pictures over looking the ocean. Little did I know it was going to be very windy. I was trying to avoid a Marilyn Monroe moment by my dress blowing up. Trust me, it wouldn't have been as graceful as hers. 

Well off to work... Happy Wednesday!

Xoxo,

Lisa
