LABOR DAY WEEKEND

Hey guys!! Hope you're all doing something fun this Labor Day Weekend!  Labor Day signals the end of summer...but it doesn't have to signal the end of fun as the season closes. As I reflect back on this past summer, I like to think about all the fun I got into, which has kept me young with childlike wonder. It's important to always connect with the child in you, to nurture it.  Sometimes we get so bogged up by the responsibilities and worries of daily life, that we forget to just let loose and be silly. So go to the beach, do some handstands, fall and laugh about it.  Go to the trampoline park and jump until you can't anymore. Eat some ice cream on a hot day and have no regrets.

Be silly, love fully, and laugh all year round and it will always feel like summer!

SHOP THE LOOK:

(Just an FYI...the top I could not find online..nor the necklace.  I purchased the top at Luna Boutique and it's by Honey Punch.  The necklace I purchased at the top of the summer season from Topshop.  I have included similar items for you guys to check out to help recreate, if you want to!;)

IT'S MILITARY

This summer I've been really into the military trend...wearing lots of olives and creams. I've even taken a liking to rocking a dark brown lip reminiscent of the 90's.  This one I'm wearing is called "Naughty by Nature" from Too Faced.

This Wild Child tee by Amuse Society describes me perfectly!! :)

I must say, SCHUTZ  gets my vote for the BEST summer shoes.  Their styles range from colorful, to simple.. to boho...vacation heels, or just plain sexy! This particular pair is light enough for day time and sexy enough for the last bit of those hot summer nights out.  Check it out! They are having a huge end of summer sale right now. (The saddle color don't seem to be available online, but should be at the stores. Unfortunately this color isn't on sale but is cute enough for full price, don't ya think??:)

SHOP THE LOOK:

Banana Leaf One Piece by Stone Fox Swim

I've been obsessed with this suit since I first saw it a few months ago.  Convinced it was eventually going to go on sale, I held off on getting it. Well it DID end up selling out, but not before I finally snagged the last one in my size at my beloved Luna Boutique in the OC.  Now, I can't get enough of banana leaf print!  How about you?  Is this a trend you'll be rocking? It's so cute!

Who said one pieces aren't sexy?? This one is pretty cheeky if I may say so myself! ;)

Sorry guys, this suit is SOLD OUT or in back stock for now.  Check revolve from time to time to see if they restocked my favorite print!

Haute Haute Boho

This is me drinking iced coffee on a particularly hot day.  That's what I love about hot days, you get to drink coffee all day and make it a "cold brew" and that's totally okay...normal, even. Cuz who drinks hot coffee on a hot day?? People who clearly have serious problems. Hahaha.  Just kidding. It's probably those same people who like hot yoga on hot days also. Kidding again! Hahah man that cold brew's really kicking in! I'm a stand up comic over here!!

Have a great day my loves..and feel free to shop the look below!
