Bottega Veneta Spring 2013 RTW

Okay, so I have completely isolated myself from the blogging world, but that's only because I have been super busy with a full time job, a side writing job for a magazine, photographing local events, and not to mention my own personal days, which I hardly have any due to how busy I've been. But hey, I'm not complaining! I am only giving the truths as to why I have abandoned my blog for so long. Needless to say, I really need to work on my time management skills.

For now I just wanted to share with you some of my favorite looks of Bottega Veneta's spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear. The collection gives a chic vintage feel with a modern twist.  Love it!

Striped

This Wolf+Lamb dress is actually a tad longer but I think I prefer the shorter version. I made a few instant arrangements here and there but I will probably make those permanent. The material is perfect for the heat/humidity we've been experiencing this week. You hardly want to wear any clothing, but since I don't dare, I want to wear the least and lightest clothing possible. Something I can just throw on and stay fresh in. 

Necklace from Fasha.

Wearing a Michael Kors watch and leather cross-body from Brighton that JL recently gave me as a gift. I loved the baroque design.  

I've been wearing these sandals almost everyday this summer. They're strappy and comfortable which is just what I am into right now. They were a find in Hong Kong last summer.

Vintage Florals

Summer has officially began and I thought I'd celebrate by wearing this vintage floral skirt from Wolf & Lamb. We've been hitting the 100's here in Texas for the past couple of weeks and this is perfectly fresh and flowy for the weather.

I love how the days are longer. I must have taken these photos around 7:45 p.m. and I found that it's the perfect lighting since it's not too bright (and I can actually open my eyes), but it's light enough to take the photos flash free.

And I must also celebrate that today is Friday! Although weekends come short I always try to get the most juice out of them and they actually feel longer.  Come Monday morning it feels like I haven't been to work for more than two days, which is always a nice feeling that contradicts itself because I'm back to reality.
Have a good weekend everyone!

One of my favorite thrifted necklaces.

Leopard wedges from Aldo.

OOPS!! Okay, so my mom did not tell me this was going on yesterday while taking the photos. That was due to her not wearing her contacts when she took the pictures.x

Dots

I have to admit I wasn't feeling like taking pictures today. I feel like I am getting sick and was just feeling bleh. Getting sick in the summer is the worst. I find it so annoying to be 100 degrees outside and having to constantly blow your nose. Hopefully my home remedies work and I'll be better by tomorrow. 

Anyway, here are just a few shots of these fun shoes I got the other day. The platform makes them super comfortable and I thought the polka dots were a fun detail. 

BACK

Work has kept me completely booked for the last month and a half and for one reason or another I just hadn't found the time to post. But I think it's safe to say things have finally pacified and so now I find myself back to blogging. Being gone for a whole month allowed me to keep several outfits in mind, which I should be posting pretty soon!

Leather crossbody from local designers, NLC (No Literal Culture). You can find their awesome leather work at Le Trendy boutique. 

B. Makowsky wedges. 

Neon Obsession

Neon Light Rail Wedge from Modcloth

I have a current, minor obsession for all things neon. I love how one simple, neon accessory can truly brighten and awaken an outfit. 

These are a few accessories that caught my attention.

Saturday

Jl and I took Aiko for a quick walk in the park last saturday day and I have to say he was pretty excited.  

He even began to get rowdy when he saw a golden retriever across the park, but little Aiko didn't stand a chance. I wore a really simple outfit but I think the shoes liven it up a little. 

I love spending beautiful springtime Saturdays with loved ones.

I wore Forever 21 denim shorts and my J'Aime Paris t-shirt. Oh how I wish to go back and visit.

You can see Aiko's hair on my shirt if you look close enough.

These Bronx are one of my all time favorite pair of shoes.
