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!

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!

Peachy Keen

Spring is here so of course all the light, spring colors are everywhere...the pastels..pinks..lavenders. Personally I'm really loving all the muted tone pinks and peaches out there. Wearing those colors always makes me feel so girly and feminine, and I like to pair it with a darker color to balance it out. Here I'm wearing this peach floral bell sleeve ( which is a huge trend this spring as well) by Free People and paired it dark gray skinnies from Brandy Melville to balance it out.

How do you wear your favorite spring colors??

I See You

In the past, many fashion risk takers who have dared to don see-through clothing have been penalized to some version of a "Would You be Caught Dead In This" list of fashion mishaps. But lately, with so many cute lingerie lines out there, such as my favorite, SKIVVIES by For Love & Lemons, it's almost a damn shame to not let your pretty underthings show!! This lovely see through lace dress is not only girly and feminine, but it's the perfect piece to showcase your sexy skivvies, which, let's face it, are a fashion statement on their own!

This trend of see through lace/ sheer dresses and tops is one that I'm feeling, if done in a tasteful way. Some pieces I've seen are downright gorgeous if you ask me. (Did y'all catch the Beyonces and J Lo's at the MET Gala this year??) Just stunning. What do you guys think? Would you dare to go see through?
