Free Spirit

You guys, this wall (along with this particular stretch of the BQE) will never ever cease to amaze me. It's magical, just like NYC.

Wearing this outfit, I at first thought I ventured away from my usual style, when a fellow youtuber (more on that later) said we'd make the perfect collab duo - based strictly on my bohemian presence. Her sweet comment made me think, what exactly is my style? Each day is so different from the previous and my wardrobe so drastic in what it contains - I'm not sure I'll ever know. The only one constant I can rely on is comfort.

It also made me rethink to January's initial goal of perfecting my style. I've been doing good so far and have been dwindling down my closet to separates that matter, as well as getting a few pieces with personality - like this Gentle Fawn Skirt.

Another constant is how I love to recreate different looks from older pieces I own. For instance - this crochet top can also be seen here but both looks are so different. I'm pretty much obsessed with this skirt so don't hate me if you see it here again.

Maybe in five more years I'll have down what my style is exactly but for now I'm having a blast being a free spirit and coloring outside the lines.

Because Everyone I Know Is Getting Married...

Except me.
On the flip side that means lots of uh-mazing weddings with some of the best people I know celebrating their love, and I'm all for it. Especially that destination wedding happening in September (insert preach emoji here).

With all these summer weddings in full effect, it's time to invest in heels that can hold their own on the dance floor. I got these Joie heels back in February and they're sturdy enough for a few electric slides and two hours of dancing after. Unfortunately they're sold out, but if you find them on eBay or Poshmark - go for it.

Curious to know what happens after two hours... well the heels come off and I go barefoot because that's what we do at weddings right? We go hard.

Another thing, I've been wearing to weddings are separates that can work for date night and weddings. This Gentle Fawn skirt (the printed version went fast) hugs in all the right places and exudes the essence of summer love. The slit on the side is not too high and perfect for allowing movement to happen (very important for dance purposes).

As for wedding gifts, I tend to give cash (is that classy??) and if I know the bride fairly well enough - her own personalized nail polish to commemorate her big day. Pretty Please Nail Polish does such a great job in packaging and making the whole process seamless - I definitely recommend. And if you're the bride or maid of honor - this would be a fun gift for the rest of your troupe.

YASSS, summer is all I ever wanted and needed. I'm pretty sure I was an iguana in my past life because my mood and style flourishes in the heat. Looking back at this month's #ootds, rompers and playsuits were repeat offenders and will continue to be. Still haven't mastered the act of quickly using the restroom in them - but when I do I'll share my secret.

Which looks were your favs? Any you'd love to see restyled a different way?
