Party blush

A birthday party and Easter dinner together? Wow, so amazingly fun! Going with the theme of the week, I wore a lace blush dress. With its flower pattern and light color it covered the Easter requirements. Short and lacy was for the BD party mood. It's great when an outfit falls nicely into place.
I only wore this dress one time before and it was pretty special. I guess it makes it a special dress.

Erranding blush

Running errands and wearing flats. The weather didn't require the jacket but a spring look needs some flowers!

Tough blush

Blush is the sweetest softest color. I experimentally tried to toughen it up by adding black, a knit moto jacket and studs. Not so bad, really!

Blush textures

As much as last week was about blue and white, this week is turning out to be about blush again.
Isn't this outfit amazingly textural? Suede, sequin, pebbled leather, soft cotton... I loved it!

So many people complimented me on this sequin jacket, from teenagers to senior ladies. Somethings apparently cross the age boundaries. I of course refrained from pointing out the two amazing facts about this jacket: It is from Forever 21 and that it costs less than $20.00.
Let's keep those to ourselves, OK?!
In answer to all the compliments, I graciously smiled and said "why, thank youuu!"
;)

Eating the Easter bunny!

Bag of the month:

It's been a few years I've done this feature post. Meanwhile my bag collection has grown (as expected) so allow me to introduce you to some of my darlings.

You have seen this blue satchel bag frequently in my posts. I bought it three years ago after moving to Arizona. It is the perfect size for carrying a laptop, a light cardigan, a little snack and my everyday necessities. In other words, the perfect work bag.
The color is the soft blue, trendy these past few years. So perfect in fact that I took it traveling a few times.


It is made of polyurethane vegan leather. Measures: W 12", H 8', D 5.5". Handle drop 5", with a detachable strap of 35" length.

All these goodness for less than $40.00. Gosh, I love Charming Charlie!

Chinos and red

Finding the perfect pair of chinos is hard... at least a pair that is form fitting enough and soft enough and... anyhoo, this one pair I have from 10 years ago is still perfect!

Hahaha!

Have you noticed the repetition of square patterns in yesterday's post outfit? I just did, right now!
I am so subconsciously clever!!! Haha!

Sunday laziness

Sometimes you need to spend your Sundays lazing around, chat with friends and cool down in a bookstore. All good for the soul! Blues and whites help with that!

New year party

Being the hostess I needed comfort and freedom of movement, plus, I was late getting ready! So I let this eye-catching dress take the center stage and do all the work! Pretty and simple.
Come on, have some cookies!

Don't be deceived by those shoes beautiful exteriors, they are trained killers, foot killers! 

Party prep

I have been busy with the new year stuff and planning our dinner party and setting up our 7sin (the Persian altar) for new year.
Since the weather officially went above 90 degree, I went for the cool feel of whites and blues. The first few days of heat makes me want to jump in a lake!

Despite being an oxford shirt, that top has enough pretty and special details (white collar, striped lower half and cuff folds while the rest is traditional oxford) that I had to try and show off the details!

Happy Norooz!

Happy Norooz and the Persian New Year. The Spring equinox was at Saturday 9:30 PM, Arizona time. I wish you a great year. May this year brings you good changes and happy occasions!

Achromatic

This looks like a boring outfit, all gray and washed out... to tell you truth, I had a busy day and was totally washed out by the time I put this outfit together. Going with my mood kinda thing!

Fashion victim!

The rule is "No more than two trendy items in the same outfit" or you are a fashion victim. Let's start counting here: one the ruffled top, two the cropped wide leg jeans, three the hoop earrings, four the block heels, five the stripes... oops!!! Some one call 911 please!

Road trip!

A day trip to Sedona, picnic by the river and ending the day by jumping over the fire! Oh my, what a day! Finding an outfit which should cover all these activities? Almost impossible, so I didn't even try!

Casual days

When your day is filled with errands, you need something comfortable on your feet. But then you want to dress it up just a bit and then.... yeah, it could get complicated!

Sequined blush

Sequin in daylight? It's the influence of my darling little playmates (ages 3, 6, and 9). They had me watching "Glitter Force" recently! Anyhow, "A fabulous shimmer! A glow in your heart!" kind of outfit was perfect for a perfect spring afternoon, spent with good friends, walking and window-shopping and having fun!

Details details!

When you find a cute jacket with special details like this amazing quilted embroidered one, you just have to pair it with a special detailed top, don't you?! ...and carry a special bag too! Just to be on the safe side! ;)

Stripes and pearls

What do you want from a little casual dinner party? Good food, good wine, good people and great conversation... having a good outfit is the cherry on top!

Going for gold

Right now I feel as if I can live my whole life in white and gold colors. Early heat is to blame, it's gone to my head!

Just peachy

Peach, blush, rose quartz... one of the easiest way to wear it is loading up on the main color. Or maybe I'm obsessed with this color. Anyhow, thank you, I'm just peachy!

Elevating

How to elevate a tank top and jeans into a real outfit? By adding nice accessories and here I consider the sweater an accessory since the knit is too loose to offer any real warmth or coverage!

Blush suede

This little blush jacket is so soft and buttery I keep petting it like a cherished pet! So how you show case it? I went with a printed top and flares and blush accessories. Believe me that top's background is the exact match for the jacket in real life.
...and that's all she wrote!

Sunday Enjoyment:

What I liked...

...recently!
It's been so long I've done this feature. Right now I'm all about spring.
-Pastel colored top handle bags: a soft color, single top handle and a little flap over top, nothing much really!
-Gold hoop earrings: either the classic and narrow ones or with a little twist and something extra.
-Anemone flowers: so much color variation, such detailed and delicate petals, such gorgeous flowers!

Spring floral

Nothing new about wanting florals for spring but this time I wasn't in the mood for tiny feminine flowers; I wanted bold graphical ones. So as soon as I saw this top on Forever 21 website, I ordered it thinking the tunic length (midthigh) would look good over wide legs as well as skinny pants. The top arrived and I debut it and then went looking online for a picture of it annnnnd....found out it was a dress!!! Although with two long side slits (coming up to the waist) how one is supposed to wear it as a dress, I can't figure!
Long story short, I wore mine as a top, with front tucked in and left the back long and hanging.

Love the color and the print, so the moral of the story is: Buy it if you like it!

Rosy spring

I love this pair of rosy red chinos but haven't worn them more than a handful of times. Before the pants season passes I'm hopping to get a few more wear out of them. Completing the springy picture is my floral bomber jacket!

Athleisure

Well, it's my interpretation of the trend so I can wear what I want, right?!! Chambray jogger pants, a silk Henley top and a jersey knit jacket... plus sneakers, of course. It seems the sneakers are mandatory!

The panda look

Another black and white outfit... I'm thinking I had "Kung Fu Panda 3" on the brain and have been dressing accordingly! Anyway, finally went to watch the movie in... what else? A black and white outfit!
