From Las Vegas With Love, part 2…
Hello Darlings,
This is the last part of my Las Vegas posts!
In the place of sunshine, hotness and dryness... the only thing that is left for a girl to do is stock up on sunscreen, purchase a floppy hat, consume ridiculous amounts of water and most importantly enjoy the beautiful weather

Lounging by the pool was probably the best way to beat the heat...and of course, finally have a chance to wear my new Brette Sandler silk cover up.



I am wearing: Alexander Wang Chiffon Dress; Juicy Couture Flats;Coach Wristlet;Luc Kieffer Ring

- Heels are not worth wearing if you're going to cripple your feet!
- Wearing a floppy hat is a smart choice, not only to shield your face from the harmful rays but also to avoid heat stroke!

I am wearing: Maggie Ward Dress; Juicy Couture Flat; Gustto Cokera Purse; A.V. Max Cuff; Floppy Hat from a random store.
To top of almost every outfit I wore my floppy hat, religiously. I get heat strokes within minutes of being out in the hot weather. I never thought that I could pull it off or feel comfortable wearing it, but I fell in love. I know that fedora is a hat of the moment, but it made me feel like a teenage boy and really did not suit my style. Soooooo many people make it look a-m-a-z-i-n-g, I just felt awkward unfortunately. In comparison to the fedora, the floppy hat made me feel like a lady
I wish you all a stunning day!!!

From Las Vegas With Love, part 1….
Hello Darlings,
♥Birthday Celebration!!!!



In terms of shopping, I mostly stayed away except stopping by the Chanel store to pick up some make up and to buy myself a floppy hat at some random hat store (I'll show it in the second part of my Vegas posts).


♥Road Trip to Grand Canyon and Hover Dam!



If I could recommend one thing to do-this would be it, or travel to the Grand Canyon as a separate vacation... which I am hoping to do sometime ( go hiking, camping and rock climbing in the canyon)!

As for the outfit, I settled for a loose long sleeve top, mainly so that my shoulders wouldn't burn. Denim shorts and my oxfords... simple and easy! No fuss! I also chose to tie my hair back, it is impossible to have your hair looking great in such an environment without fixing it every hour or so and who needs that on a road trip. So for me it was a pony with a bow headband!

I am wearing:Wilfred top; Abercrombie&Fitch Shorts; Candela Tokyo Oxfords;Ray Ban Wayfarers; H&M Bow Headband.

The trip was perfect! I couldn't have asked for more...well, driving back as the sun was setting over the desert was a cherry on top of a perfect day!
More pictures are coming up... in the next post!I hardly had the time to sit back and enjoy an espresso!
I did unpack my luggage which was rummaged through by United States Transportation Security Administration. Apparently my hair straightener and curler were suspicious
(according to the letter found in my luggage). The locks were cut off and everything was a total mess including my make-up kit... Who could have thought that shoes and beauty supplies are a security threat? Did you hear that Chanel,Michael Kors and Conair... your products are dangerous! HAHAHAHA.... I am just kidding! I am all for being safe!!!
My university lectures start tomorrow and I am still tired and exhausted!!!

P.S. Darlings, bare with me...I promise that I will do my best to reply to all of the comments and e-mails as soon as I can!!! Pretty Thank You!!!

Re-Discovered…
Hello Lovelies,
Today, I re-discovered my first pair of Michael Kors shoes... and they are still one of my favorite...



By the way, I totally forgot to show you my Kors boots that I picked up last week and have mentioned before and a silk cover-up that I picked up about 10 minutes ago!!!

I've never been the one to favor beach cover ups but the moment I saw this baby I had to have it. It is going to look amazing with my Moschino bathing suit and Miss Trish of Capri sandals

Heat Wave…
Hello Darlings,
After today's shopping rendezvous, I am issuing myself a "stay away from the malls" note that I am going to hang up my door....
All that I see is SALE SALE SALE.. how can you not go in? Will power you might say....well, I don't have any

Back to the outfit, it was so crazy hot today... that I didn't even mind being more naked than usual. Hate hot weather. The new tee and Abercrombie shorts were my life savers, plus they are going to come in handy in Vegas ( can't wait, I am counting down the days!).
Plus, while I was shopping today and realized that my 21st Birthday is just few weeks again.... I panicked. Not because I am terrified of aging, but because this officially makes me a grown-up. My thoughts began to overwhelm me and I decided that if I want to wear a cropped tee and tiny shorts this is the time...not 10 years from now, but now.
I am wearing:American Apparel Unisex Tri-Blend Scrimmage Tee in Athletic Grey; Abercrombie&Fitch Cleo Shorts;Tungsten Rings courtesy Superior Weeding Rings Jewelers; A.V. Max Cuff; Candela Tokyo Oxfords;

dVb Jeans and finding the perfect pair…
Hello Darlings,
- Check that the waistband doesn't do that annoying gaping thing at the back, either, as you'll end up with a weird wind-tunnel effect.
- Look for jeans that are cut higher at the back so not only do they not gape but also they don't give you builder's bottom every time you sit.
♥Please-No Bagging♥
- Jeans that bag around the knees or bottom are another fashion disaster and it's amazing how many designer's don't pay attention to this.
- I always make sure my jeans have just a bit of stretch to them (but not too much that they bag), are narrow around the leg and give shape to the bottom instead of squashing it down.
♥Get The Length Right♥
- With heels, the bottom of your jeans should just skim your toes, as that will give a good couple of inches of length to your legs.
- With flats, jeans should end almost at the tip of the shoe, maybe even just graze the ground, and break almost at your toes.
♥Color Me Beautiful♥
- White looks fresh and funky for summer, but be wary as sometimes whit jeans can make your things look larger than they actually are.
- Subtle shade of powder blue and pale gray are interesting too and look best in skinny drainpipe or high-waisted styles.
- Black jeans are great as long as you get them in a good cut-slim styles are best, remember: skinny black is sexy rock'n'roll; baggy black tends to be a bit roadie and quite unflattering.
♥Sizing♥
- Whatever your size, it is important to firstly try your jeans on to make sure they fit, and secondly buy the right size regardless of the number.
♥ From High Street to High Fashion♥
- As a general guideline I recommend buying one pair of straight-leg or boot-cut jeans and one pair of skinny.
♥ Jeans what to buy♥
1. Great Buy
- Cheap Monday/ Florence and Fred/H&M/ Kate Moss for Topshop/ Lee/ New Look
2. Hot Label
- Acne/ Diesel/ Fornarina/ Miss Sixty/ Notify/Serfontaine
3. Super Luxe
- Chloe/ dVb/ McQ/Sass&Bide/ Stella Mc Cartney/ Superfine
"I wanted to create a collection of denim that essentially combined both style and comfort whilst looking desirably gorgeous and glamorous."
And so she did....
... after a day of shopping. I felt absolutely amazing wearing them. Although the jean does have a flare to it, I absolutely love how long it makes my legs look.The jeans are definitely the object of attention in this outfit... I was going for a simple look but the jeans gave the outfit an interesting twist. I also must say that I really love the little stars on the behind pockets...
I am wearing: dVb Skinny Flare Jeans; Abercrombie&Fitch Sweater; Michael Kors Heels; Gustto Cokera Purse; Diamond Ring courtesy Ice.com Jewelers;Accessories&Beyond Bracelets; Ray Ban Wayfarers ( gift from Andrew)
Well, I am off to run a few errands and then spend sometime in the pool...

Gray…
Hello Darlings,
Yay... my Revolve Clothing packages have arrived.Which included Candela Oxfords!!!

The shoe itself is very delicate and in fact, quite feminine. The leather is a-m-a-z-i-n-g-l-y soft and the comfort is indescribable. Plus, I love that there a no laces, which makes them even more interesting. Although, I hate to favor my shoes, these are definitely on top of the list. It is a perfect shoe for summer and fall...They are a unique touch to my subtle and simple wardrobe-just how I like it, simple outfit with interesting details.

Today's outfit, consisted of my new favorites paired with all gray. I adore wearing gray-on-gray and adding a touch of brighter color, such as this purple bag...Also, I've decided that rolling up jeans is a fabulous way to showcase gorgeous footwear and achieve a more casual look. As for the top, well this is one of my favorite tops in the closet, reason being is the beautiful way that it drapes as well as the feminine way it emphasizes the shoulders. I adore this top, it is also an easy transition piece... one that can be worn both for casual-to-evening occasions. Plus, the detailing is phenomenal.

Also, I though that I should share my views on.....

Anyways, I am off to review my French words... the language is slowly coming along. Sometimes I feel like I am taking up too much tasks for one summer.However, I do enjoy being busy and on the go, It makes me feel alive
