A Coke and a Smile - My Holiday Look

Hi all! Christmas around the corner and I wanted to do a non-traditional holiday look. Well, even though red is a traditional color, you usually see a lot of sequins and dark colors. I wanted to create a cool and breezy look, that will make people talk. Also this is the last of my thrifting haul finds from a few months back. 

With the new year I want to add more art and culture to the blog, which is another love of mine. So moving forward you will see a lot more of the arts, that I am hoping to find throughout the city.

I found this painting on the side of a building and it just reminded me of my hometown Chicago. The artist name is Hugo, was born in Bolivia and raised in New York. He came to Arizona to get his Masters and has many other amazing paintings and sculptures that you can find at hugosart.com.

Having a lot more fun in photos to end the year with a bang and hopefully shed more light on my personality.

White after Labor Day

The trick to wearing white after labor day is to break the rule and wear it! It is hard for me to understand certain fashion rules when Arizona only has two seasons, Hot and Cold. I purchased this dress last year at Forever 21 and couldn't wait to bring it back out for the Fall/Winter season. Although it is still hot here, I managed to wear it for an evening look.

C.R.E.A.M.

 Over the weekend I had a pre birthday celebration with my closest friends and family in Phoenix, before heading to Cali. I planned to have a nice fancy dinner like I normally do for celebrations, but at the last minute I changed my mind and decided to go rogue. I wanted to be loud, casual, and do something more normal. 

Alejandra G Heels - Look #2

I put together a second look for my now favorite Alejandra G Heels. I went with a simple all white look that was still fun. I spotted the skirt in H&M and feel in love with immediately. The skirt was made of the scuba material which gave it a very structured look. I finished the look off with rose gold accessories, a black and white polka dot clutch, and black sunglasses. The print on the heels makes make me want to create these fun looks. 

Pumps & Paint - B.Y.O.B

This Friday I was able to finally attend the Phoenix First Friday art walk. I have lived in Phoenix for over six years and heard so many great things about the downtown art walk event, held each first Friday of the month. 

I heard about a few painting classes held and I ended up finding the perfect class for me. Rejected Thrifts host classes where you bring in old shoes that you want to revamp. You can paint them, glitter them, anything that you desire to make them seem new again. You can drink loads of wine while doing it! This was the perfect class for me and an excuse to drink glasses of wine outside of my home.

I won't lie, I was expecting a large class setting with boring white walls that have arts and crafts hanging up like elementary school. It was the complete opposite!

Vegas - Part One

I took a quick trip to Vegas over the weekend to see two great friends and catch up. A few Margaritas, dinner until 2am, and people watching were just a few of my highlights. My favorite part of the trip was my sneak peek in Dior to view their latest season of shoes, purses, and furs that I cannot wait to share with my fashionistas. Until then here is one of my daytime turned night looks that I wore while walking the strip.
