Let the white parties....begin!

It's finally the weekend and I have a few white parties to go to. Did I tell you I love living in Florida? One of the benefits of living in this state is that it is summer time with cool breezes for 360 days in the year minus the 5 days of 40 degree winter weather. Other than that the rest of the time, it's great. I love the fact that the most amount of winter gear I have to wear is a leather jacket and maybe a scarf. Don't get me wrong, I have lived in areas where the winter is so cold that my nose freezes over or I wear so many layers that it literally took me 15 minutes to take it off before I actually relaxed and settled down at home, thus I prefer summer.

But back to the white party, so I am trying to figure out what to wear and found this cute one shoulder white dress at Asos. Ahem....it's so cute it costs over $500...ha! If I were to buy that dress I would literally be standing still all night long and not near anyone drinking eating or dancing. So in other words, I would wear it at home in my living room. lol.

Outfit:

Dress: Asos.com $500

Watch: Asos.com $300

Shoes: Asos.com $180

Earrings: Accesuality.com $15

Bracelet: Accesuality.com  $15

The rose gold watch....LOVE IT! and the nude shoes are cute too; paired with fish bone earrings and a charmed bracelet on Accesuality.com (both items sold out) makes for a great white party outfit!

XOXO

More great finds.....

Besides the food and culture in Thailand, I enjoyed the accessory shopping in Thailand. On my way over to Thailand I found the cutest bracelets at the Taipai, China airport and bought a few....just couldn't resist.

 I also got the following wooden bracelets below from a town in Thailand called Ayutthaya which also has the buddha head stuck in a tree (pictured below). No one knows how it got there but suspects that it was probably chiseled and left there during a storm and eventually grew with the root of the tree and will continue to be raised from the ground the higher the tree goes.

On another note, I have obtained interviews from a few accessory designers that I am excited about featuring on the blog and will probably post a few tomorrow. Also working on updating a few things and also getting ready to update the website for the summer.

Trend Alert: Paisley and Cobalt Blue

When I think of summer the first thing that comes to mind is bright colors, sunny days and BBQs. Apparently, it also includes cobalt blue as the color of the season. Cobalt blue, I am excited about because it is a color that is bright and can be worn with other bright colors such as green or pink or subdued with black.

I actually have a cobalt blue handbag I got a few years ago that I literally threw everything in when I was going shopping, the beach, church, work, you name it, I wore it but that was years before it was the "in" color to wear.  It is a great color to add some pop in your wardrobe or just a little pick me up on a cloudy day. Seriously, everyone noticed the color when I wore it.

The next trend is Paisley. Hmmmmmmm, when I think of Paisley for some reason I think of Parsley, not sure if its because the design seems similar to herb/seasoning or I am currently hungry for some dinner but either way, paisley plays a part this season in handbags and jewelry. Men have always been in the know with Paisley in their suit jacket pockets and the lining in the inside of the jacket. I honestly can say I do not own anything paisley, or maybe I do and I have not noticed it but I don't think so. It kind of reminds me of old men wearing paisley shirts that smell like moth balls....urrrgghhhhhhh. Maybe if I find a really cute paisley bracelet or scarf, I'll change my mind. I'll let you know ;-)

24 hours, 1 boat, 1 bus, 3 planes and swollen feet...Bangkok

Hey hey!

I'm finally back from my trip to Thailand and I had a blast, I even rode an elephant! It was so much fun finding bargains, negotiating prices and just enjoying the food and culture. I had so much fun I took over 800 pics of my friends and I. It was worth  every hour spent on a plane to get there.

One of my main reasons for going over there, besides learning about a different culture, was to gain some insight into the fashion and lifestyle of the Thai people. Thai people are very fashion forward, especially when it comes to accessories. The country besides tourism is the number one distributor of jewelry such as gold and silver. Additionally, they export rubies, and sapphires and have a phletora of jewelry stores throughout the country. I felt like I was in a candy shop. I was uable to take pictures inside the stores since they do not allow pictures, didn't get what that was about, but I did make some purchases and will take pics and post on the site.

Thailand is also known for its beautiful temples and the grand palace, the former residence of the King. I was able to visit most of the temples and the infamous buddha head in the tree. I posted a few pics of my experience but will be posting pics of my accessory finds and all the food I ate in a few.
