To Birken or Not!

Were talking one of my favorites today!  FLATS!  We all love a good heel, but when it comes to summer I think were all about flats.  Whether it be a flip flop for the pool, a fabulous gladiator sandal, or even dare I say it.....BIRKENSTOCKS!  If you thought geek when I said Birkenstock, you need to think geek chic!  They were all over the runways, and I've seen them on some of the most fashionable women.  So your thinking ewwwww, they're ugly.  I never thought they were ugly, I must admit I had a pair years ago.  But in fashion we all know "one day your in, one day your out!"

Looks like Birkenstocks are making a huge comeback and I'm kinda loving it!  They come in all kinds of colors and now they even have mettalic ones.  I just might have to jump on the Birken bandwagon.  I think their super cute!

Estamos hablando uno de mis favoritos hoy!  Tacon bajo!  A todos nos gusta un buen tacon alto pero cuando se trata de verano creo que es todo sobre el tacon bajo.  Ya sea una flip-flop de la piscina, una sandalia gladiador fabuloso, o incluso me atrevería a decir ..... BIRKENSTOCKS!  Si pensabas friki cuando dije Birkenstock, es necesario pensar friki chic!  Estaban por todas las pasarela y los he visto en algunas de las mujeres más de moda.  Entonces toda via piensas feo?  Nunca pensé que eran feos, debo admitir que tuve hace un par de años.  Pero en la moda que todos conocemos que "un dia estas de moda y el otro dia estas fuera!"

Parece Birkenstocks están haciendo un gran regreso y estoy un poco enamorada.  Ellos vienen en todo tipo de colores y ahora el incluso tener los mettalic.  Voy a tener que comprar algunos birkens. Creo que son super lindas!

So, to Birken or not?  I think I'm going to Birken, are you?

White sandals, yes or no?  I've never really been a fan of white shoes in general.  For some reason I'd rather do a metallic, but when I found these for only $12 at Windsor I was sold!  The stacked heel is perfect!  I saw these Jessie Randall online for $350!

Sandalias blancas, sí o no?  Nunca he sido un fan de los zapatos blancos en general. Por alguna razón yo prefiero poner me unos zapatos metálicos, pero cuando encontré esto por sólo $ 12 en Windsor me fue vendida!  El tacón es perfecto! Vi estos Jessie Randall en línea por $ 350! 

 

 

Regardless of your style or budget, just know there's something out there for everyone!

Wild Chevron



Dress: Hautelook

Wedges: Simply Vera Wang

Chevron necklace: c/o Wild Butterfly Boutique



Oh hey Monday!  Hope you all had an awesome weekend!  I was given the choice of 2 pieces from Wild Butterfly Boutique and my second pick was this super cute chevron necklace.  I LOVE the chevron print and I think this necklace is so whimsical!  I wore it with this floral dress for dinner with the hubby.  Even though summer is slipping by, florals are still huge for fall!  Ughhhh......every time I say fall, I cry a little.

Have a good day peeps!

Ditch your mini! GO MAXI!

Heyyyyyyyy!  What's up my sweets!  I missed you!  Hope your all enjoying your summer! 

Mine has been super chill!  Hubby and I are taking a few days off in August, soooooo looking forward to that!  We are on a tight budget this year so no vaca, but we still need a few days to unwind. 

Who doesn't love a good maxi in the summer!  I have a few and actually they are all kind of dressy.  I'm on the hunt for a casual everyday maxi.  I went to Forever 21 and couldn't find any I liked.  I ordered this via Hautelook and it's so soft, and I love the print!  So go ahead and ditch your mini! 

Channeling my inner goddess.... ;)

Dress: Hautelook

Sandals: Prabal Gurung

FYI - don't let these silly poses fool you!  I hate taking blog pics, and my hubby knows it so he makes me do silly things!  Gotta love him! 

Have a fab day!

Heat Wave

Monday.....you SUCK!

After a nice long weekend here we are back on the grind!  Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and long weekend!  What do you wear when it's been 90 degrees and humid for over a week now?  NOTHING!  No really.....it's been so f'n HOT!  When it's this hot out, I LOVE a good cotton summer dress!  Not too fussy but still cute!

Dress: Xhiliration (Target)

Clutch: Loop

Sandals: H & M

Sunnies: XSRE



Too much jewelry is no bueno on hot days, I kept it simple with my diamond necklace and a few bracelets.  As you can see, I lightened my hair for summer.  I like it, but I haven't been this light in soooo long!  It's definitely going to take some getting usto!

How are you fashionistas staying cool? 

Thanks for visiting!
