Fourth of July Weekend!!
Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Americans!
So this weekend will celebrate all things Americana, counting and recognizing all the freedoms and traditions that make this country great...and a 4 day weekend doesn't hurt either! I must say I've had a very uneventful holiday weekend so far...just chilling and relaxing with some of my favorite people and my very "special someone" :-D I hope your weekend has been filled with just as much fun, love, family and friends!
Apple pie, baseball, our red, white and blue flag and denim are just some of the things recognizably Americana, sooooo I very appropriately styled 2 denim looks that incorporate the colors of our great nation's flag. This is the one day of the year where you are actually allowed a pass to be as cliché and overtly cheesy as you like. I didn't go the overtly cheesy route but I definitely kept to a thematic color story. Remember to have fun, keep it breezy and make your outfits your own.
"Happy freedom in body, mind and spirit day!"
Ciao,
Maya

OOTD: Teal Shift
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far and has some fun plans for the 4th of July Weekend!
I wanted to share a quick Outfit of the Day before heading out to lunch. I was really feeling this teal shift dress when I tried it on a few months ago but hadn't pulled the trigger on styling an outfit yet lol. So today's the day!

Summer Stripes
Hey Islers!
I'm happy to be back and even happier to be enjoying some consistent warm weather with the official "First Day of Summer" this passed weekend!
In the spirit of summer, and all things nautical, I'm starting off my Monday with this striped sheath from Joe Fresh. I literally had enough time to bathe and throw something on if I didn't want to be late for work. This dress is a perfect and easy stress-free outfit. Of course I had to sinch in my waist and add a pop of color, and so opted for this light lemon-colored woven belt from H&M. Classic black pumps finish off this look for the office but you could easily pair sneakers or sandals for a more casual look.

OOTD: Formal Aquestrian?
Happy Thursday Islers! Quick Outfit of the Day...
Besides having an AWESOME hair day, I'm loving today's aquestrian inspired look. There's ALSO something formal about it with a subtle nod to the "tuxedo inspired" pants from H&M. A peplum top is ALWAYS flattering and polished in my book, and I love this blazer version. I just tugged up the sleeves and flipped up the collar...which is how I wear 99% of my blazers. This is a little trick for all my tall women out there. Blazers/Jackets rarely fit my arms all the way to the wrists (a sleeve 1-2 inches short of the wrist gives the appearance that your blazer/jacket is too small) so I usually roll them up my forearms, which happens to look coolier and edgier anyway so SCORE! And of course it wouldn't be ME without a belt ;-)
Although not pictured here, I DID wear riding boots while commuting into work, so I literally felt like all I needed was a bag of carrots and a stead named Morning Star lol.
I kept my accessories simple with my fav black booties and a few silver/black bangles, but added a little pop of color with this goregous bracelet from H&M.
Pants: H&M, Blazer: Old, Booties: Bakers, Bracelets & Bangles: H&M
