I've been wearing this fun, nautical-type boatneck top a lot this past week. It seems to go with everything.

NYC New York Color: Review!
With all my talk lately about color and new beauty finds, it may come as no surprise my first review of my favorite accessory...
bold lip color!
I was so excited to be apart of NYC New York Color's hot new lip shade reviews and even more excited to share with you all the fabulous lip colors they sent me.
Check out what we got from the Expert Last line:
From left to right: Traffic Jam / Coralista / Forever Fuchsia
...and they even threw in a mega fat mascara to try :)

Candy Wrapper Colors
Off to the movies with two of my favorite guys, I had no time to dress in the outfit I'd intended. Plus, speed walking, in the sun, in woven strappy sandals so Theo wouldn't miss grabbing the best seat and watching all the previews didn't sound like a blast so I chose a jersey tank dress and some Chucks in order to keep up.
The ensemble for that outing will be in another post perhaps, but for Monday, I was still stuck to the idea of coral, yellow, orange and pink. All together... Like a candy wrapper!
Hope you are having a wonderful week so far!
Thanks so much for visiting :)

Wear Your Power Colors
After several posts I've done over the year about color (I Love Color In The Springtime / Pop! / Colors) I wanted to talk a bit about POWER color!
Earlier last year, I admitted that wearing vibrant colors had never been quite second nature. Until I traveled to the tropics (Asia specifically) wear color was everywhere and I couldn't help participating.
And even though I'd known that power colors existed (a color that identifies and magnifies one's personality or signature essence)
I just always thought mine was black.
It's not.
Just because you feel most comfortable in a particular color doesn't necessarily mean it's your power color.
Usually a power color takes guts to wear. It takes you a bit out of your comfort zone...
because it highlights your power zone!
Obviously, I don't wear puce or fuchsia a lot. But when I do, I feel different and my environment feels different as well. People react differently. In a positive way. And while I believe that every single one of us looks fabulous in many different colors, we all have just a few power colors.
blazer: vintage / top: Tiny Closet Collection / denim: United Colors of Bennetton / heels: Aldo
Anyway, for the past few days, I've been feeling slightly deflated so today I wanted to get back the vibrance and wear a color that could help me do just that.
Just some food for thought :)
What's your power color??
Happy Monday!

Mall-ing
Taking a break from working our butts off, Theo and I decided to take a trip into the suburbs and go mall-ing today...
For those of you who don't know what the term "mall-ing" means, I will explain. It is a leisurely walk with 2 or more people; walking through the mall, not with the intent of buying anything substantial but of course a Pink Berry or Red Mango ice cream - or the notorious Cinnabon or Orange Julius. So basically...
I've been wanting to pair brilliant blues with leopard in some way but wasn't sure exactly how to pull it into an ensemble. I finally settled on these gray pants as to not upstage the vibrance of the patterned shoes and blue layers up top. These lil spiky, leopard monsters are my all time favorites and suggested by an amazing style/shopping blog Style The Luxe. Go there!
Anyway, returning from Asia, I saw that I'd failed to cancel my StyleMint membership before leaving. I racked up a ton of credit, bought the first things that caught my eye and cancelled my account forgood now... You'll see the new items later and you can be the judge.

Mall-ing = :)
Mall-ing is literally like a long walk on the beach for me. Or actually, it's more like a long walk on a boardwalk. And this is mall-ing in the suburbs that I'm referring to. I love the novelty stores, I love overhearing the teenagers talking, I love the families of 12 that come all together, the window shopping, ah. It's become kind of a past time with Theo and me because, get this - he happens to like it too! Aint' that perfect?
Anyway, taking some pictures outside, things got silly.
This shirt has actually turned out to be bomb.
When I received it in the mail, I was pretty disgusted disappointed with the cut and design of it and never ever wore it. I got it from StyleMint, a collaborative retail line designed by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I was originally completely taken with the concept - you know, like with designers of the year like the Olsens I was thinking the fit would be much more flattering than normal tees buuut, as it turned out for me, the tops are quite roomy, border lining on frumpy and not true to normal sizes. Me thinks the only reason the top works now is because I tumble dried it and it shrunk to coincidentally, a better size.
Well played, shirt. I suppose you will live to see another day.

Okay so to explain this awkwardness above, Theo is always telling me to "play with the camera"... who am I, Gisele Bundchen? Jeeez. When he says this, I always go blank and just keep posing. This time, I wanted to impress him by voluntarily playing around and "interacting" with the lens. What you see in this photo above is what happened. Oy. He was like, "What are you doing?" I then stopped immediately. Thought I'd share the embarrassment.
