A little less wrinkled

So you go to the craft store to get earrings backs (I always need those damn things) and you come home with a scarf! Its funny how they always getcha - on something! Am I right?! Anywho, I am in love with the scarf so I can't complain - especially at the $5 price tag! Wahoo! Scarves have always been something I was drawn to - they help make the outfit so effortlessly - add a scarf to a simple black and while and voila! I love these crinkle scarves because I'm notoriously wrinkled - clothes, brain, hair, car - you get the picture. So thank god I don't have to be held responsible for the lack of wrinkles in this scarf! TGIF Ladies!

If I had a boat

Today's outfit is brought to you by - my shoes! It's gotta start somewhere right? Lets start at the bottom and work up - shall we? These are my new Havaianas red flip flops! Yay! They are super comfy - and not just like regular flip flops - they got some sort of magical cushion in them ladies. And they aren't big and bulky like most squishy flip flops are, which is nice because I don't like to be too far off the ground. Ya know... fear of heights and all. 

This outfit was easy peasy (yeah it's a word... shush.) I absolutely adore red and therefore have lots of jewelry to match - and this lovely top I swear I've had forever - I love shirts like this that are in style forever - simple, classic, clean and wear great! 

I'm gonna rock these flippy flops as much as I can so get used to em - they are so comfy I don't wanna leave them lonely too much- so let the obsession of matching red with anything and everything commence!

The same, only different

I swear this whole outfit is based on the earrings. Its funny where you get your inspiration from sometimes. These gorgeous earrings are shells that have been dyed to fade from blue to turquoise - just stunning with gold trim.

So I'm obviously loving this turquoise, black & white combo. Here's an adaptation from my own closet presently - although I wish I could buy that set I made the other day - adorable! This black top is great because it's vertical stripes - therefore its very slimming! And I love these white jeans-  they are soo comfy and I love the contrast it creates! 

Yeah, I'm diggin the wayfarer's - but they always remind me of Tom Cruise in Risky Business - tighty whities and all... haha!

Cheapy Mc Cheapster aka me

So we drove around last night looking for something fun to do along the Cuyahoga in Downtown Cleveland - the sun was gorgeous off the water and the view of the bridges blocking the sun was breathtaking. So we found a ginormous parking lot and decided to stop & meander around. Enter Mr. Parking attendant dude - "Yo - that'll be ten dollars." Psssssshhhhhh... you're kidding, right? We were in the -not gonna pay for diddily kinda mood- especially just to look at the lake - I'm pretty sure looking at big ol' Lake Erie is always free buddy

{insert light bulb hovering over our heads}

(in my best sweet little girl voice) "Oh, we were just looking to turn around dear, kind, sir, (ok, maybe I didn't say that last sir part but I was definetly batting my lashes) 

And this driveway was huge - I clearly meant to drive into the lot and could have done a couple donuts before entering the parking lot - there was NO way I just wanted to turn around... however:

My lashes or dumb look on my face convinced Mr. fine-public-servant-parking-attendant guy. 

"Oh, of course lovely young lady - you may pass through without a fee" (ok, maybe it wasn't that lavish, but you get the idea)

* Cha-ching! *

And we parked - almost immediately, snickered for a good half hour and enjoyed a lovely impromptu reggae concert on the water (maybe that's why you had to pay for parking, oppsie)

Coco Chanel and Color

Its so nice and warm here today! I hope its just as nice and warm where you are. I watched the movie Coco & Igor the other day. Very dramatic movie - that must be how the French like it. But it was interesting. One scene I really like was when one of Coco's guests in her homes says "Mademoiselle it seems you don't like color?" And Coco responds with "I like color, as long as its black" See most of her house is black and white in the movie. I love how they decorated it. If you have a chance definitely watch the movie - its on Netflix!

And now onto my outfit for the day:
