Grandmama

It's been a while. Finally getting back into the swing of things.

More coming soon. But for now- I will entertain you with my constant obsession with pastels and florals.

This one homeless man down my street once yelled "HEY GRANDMAMA" to me. I've sort of adopted that title.

All for now,

Live in color

Hate to bore you with another work outfit, but this is most definitely one of my favorite ones to wear.

Wearing a scarf as a belt is a nice and simple way to make any simple outfit look colorful, polished and complete.

It's also fun to loosely tie the scarf around your neck with blouses. I tried with this outfit but it looked a little girl-scout-y. Trying to steer clear of anything too costumey. Sock might have been nice with this.

Also, hope you noticed that I'm not wearing a stitch of black- it IS possible! It's summer, so now is the time to wear colors

:)

Sweet scandal

Wore it to work, duh.

Bodysuit is a little intense, right? I was in a scandalous mood. Plus it's really comfortable :)

Hope you enjoyed a day off, Memorial Day has really lost its original purpose.
Instead of commemorating the soldiers that die fighting, people go shopping. And I am their slave.

Last dance, last chance for love

Saturday nights at the Redwood Roller Rink are "Disco Skate" themed.

They play corny disco songs like Last Dance by Donna Summer and my personal favorite, September by Earth Wind and Fire.

They turn off the house lights and turn on the disco nights, and kids come to skate the night away.

Should be told, it's somewhat of a workout and also really fun with a open-minded group of friends.

Excuse the poor quality of my camera phone pictures.

Wish I had more pictures of the rollerdisco to share with you! This won't be my last visit so I've got to brainstorm for more outfit ideas.

We stopped in a sketchy part of town to pick up some beverages, which is where my photo was taken.

Not going to lie- once I took the skates off, I felt like CholaGaga wearing this!

A few hens & a walrus

What a second-hand outfit. Haha. I described this to my gal pals as my 90's grunge outfit. Minus the tee-shirt. I bought it years ago thinking it was a Beatles shirt. I finally read the front and have no idea what it means. If anyone has a clue- please share!

Went to a BBQ with some friends, ended up at Denny's. Here are a few shots from my night.

Check out the pitbull pup. I was about to swoop her up and just carry her home. She is the most precious dog I have ever met (really I say that about all the pups I meet)!!

The girl with the long hair let me buy the patriotic high-tops from her. I am obsessed!

Sorry about the lousy pictures, I need to train a photographer to become part of our entourage :D

Finally feels like summer

Did some hot tubbing after a hard day's work last night. Putting on my moo-moo made it feel like summer again. I used to wear this to the beach all last summer. It's the best cover-up I have discovered. Really brought back some old memories of last summer:

I keep wearing the top with short shorts. I'm waiting to get some nice black skinny jeans to wear with the top, maybe a thick elastic belt. It would be so cute with my wedges as well! Don't worry- I'll make it happen :D

Time to make some new memories. Summer is starting- I need to plan a roadtrip this summer, I really want to make it to LA and most especially Disneyland. I need to hit up the Socal beaches, I'm not a big fan of Socal.. but it's been so cold in the Bay Area lately. You can't really tell because it is always so hot inside my work, but the weather has been in the 60's these past weeks. Maybe on my next day off I'll be able to lay out. Cheers to another reason why I miss living in Arizona.
