never without

American Rag shorts; Jeffery Campbell wedges

...a floppy hat, it seems. But what can I say? They are my weakness! Bare legs seemed appropriate given the unusually warm weather that afternoon. Consistent Fall weather patterns in Hawaii? Unheard of. Please excuse my short absence from blogging -- midterms + papers have consumed my life these past two weeks. Now introducing my latest shoe purchase: Jeffrey Campbell clog wedges. Would you believe me if I said I found them at a deeply discounted price of $50? Mega score! In the past I'd turn my nose up at mixing silver + gold jewelry together; as of late, I find no problem with it, as exhibited here. Hooray for experimenting.
Happy Halloween weekend to all of you who celebrate it & thank you to all of my readers who continually stop by and grace me with your kind words -- I really appreciate it!

STOLE my heart

Channeling minimalist tendencies with solid shades and a pop of camel and candy apple red nails for unexpected splashes of color. This just may be my new favorite cardigan. I nearly died, not only because I found it at Ross Dress for Less, of all places, but when I noticed that the attached fur stole is also detachable. And for under $30, it just couldn't get any better. Cue the cable knits & fur...Fall has arrived.

Slowly but surely, I'm beginning to shed my summer skin. Today's cool weather allowed me to pile on fur + this chunky knit cardi that Kash sent to me -- two items I've harbored in my closet for weeks, due to those sweltering summer months. I'm not much of a denim jeans kind of gal (think skinnies, bootcut, and the like. It's been over 9 months since I last wore a pair), so traipsing around town in these flares was a nice departure from my jeans-deprived life. Not to mention, the comfort level of these bell bottoms are pleasantly high. Pretty sure I've been converted to a jeans kind of gal after I found this pair at Ross. Well, a flare jeans gal, anyway. I'm now in hot pursuit of the next pair I can get my hands on, preferably in either a super dark wash or light wash...
