Summer is almost here and your suitcase (and sanity) is itching to travel anywhere far, far away from your current location. It’s okay to admit wanting a few days, no judging here. Instead I’m a full supporter of being unattainable for a few days. Like most trips, they normally entail a little touristing, possible gawking and a million photos. Being a tourist is fun, but sometimes locals do not share the same sentiment . Tourist can stick out like a sore thumb, which either makes you a target or someone to avoid. I don’t know about you, but if I’m visiting a new place I rather blend in than be the target of exploitation or a person to dodge. Wow I sound negative. I really do love being a tourist and traveling around the world. Personally I just prefer gawking at half-naked, man statues in peace, without being bombarded to buy a plastic replica. I learned that this “type” of situation is something I would like to avoid- for future trips. You may be in a country that speaks a different language, but your clothing can be multi-lingual. So today I want to give a few tips on how to avoid being a target tourist when viewing marble buttocks or whatever. Read More
Black+White|Starry State of Mind
Summertime. Yes, it is almost that time of year again (or it feels like it) and you know that means? Festivals, palm trees and a lot of sun is in your near future. The last thing you want to be wearing is some uncomfortable, tight, hot outfit with high-heeled shoes that sink into the ground as you walk….Oh wait, that’s my nightmare. Unless I am going back to my hotel room for round 2 for outfits, I have to be in something comfortable, that I can last in ALL DAY LONG (without annoying other people with my complaining- my best friends are all nodding there head right now). Below are the details for my first of many comfy, summer outfits. Read More
The Williams Take Cabo ✈ the Cape, a Thompson Hotel
So to say we were in desperate need of a “relaxing” vacation, is laughable…I say “relaxing” because my husband tells me I always seem to plan those go-go-go vacations. You know, where the crazy family member(me) makes an itinerary for each day and dinner reservations weeks beforehand? Yep, I am guilty but my competitive side had to show him I could let go of the reigns and plan (but not really plan) a real vacation. Read More
The|FUN|Fringe Skirt
Happy Fall Y’all! Yes, I had to say it. Fall is officially in the air, well at least in most states that is. I love this year’s fall, fashion trends, especially the short skirts. You can rock out in a leather skirt with studded, black, leather boots or embrace a little seventies lovin’ and wear a corduroy mini-skirt with cream, thigh-high tights and loafers. Ahh, I absolutely love this time of year, there are so many ways to mix-it-up with the endless accessories and warm layers. So my first “Fall Look” is focused around a fun, fringe, mini skirt from one of my ♥favorite stores! Scroll down for the details and where to find each item ⇓⇓⇓ I also included a new section with a number of different outfits, ALL which include the fringe skirt. Read More
The Cute|Flower☮Power Overalls
August has already deemed itself as a cRaZy month, so I am just now getting to this week’s OOTW (Sorry)! There is so much to do and as I’m get older the days seem to be getting shorter and shorter. Speaking of age, it ain’t nothin’ but a number- so if you want to rock some cute overalls, it is perfectly acceptable. That’s right, I have a pair and they are the definition of FUN. Read More
