ABSENCE MAKE THE HEART GROW FONDER

Hey Followers!!!!

I am truly sorry for the lack of posting this past week. I am at an conference and have been busy prior to my arrival here. Anyhow, everything has been great and I am enjoying my work outside the office environment! And I really wish I had time to take at least one photo of my outfit yesterday. I had gotten so many compliments, and the Co-founder and head designer even stopped to tell me how much she loved the way I was wearing my skirt as a dress, hehe! I was ecstatic!!! I will be doing a posting tomorrow morning, so stay tuned! Now that I said that I have to stick to my word. LOL. Luv you guys!

EffortLESS Wednesday!!!!

Howdy!!!!

This morning was such a breeze for me...It's nothing more classic, simple and chic than a white button down and some denims. I love my look today. I have two kids to get ready in the morning and I am always running behind, therefore I am always pulling things out my closet that would give me the cutest look in the smallest amount of time. I am definitely not one that has time to try on outfits. I simply visualize and go for the kill....LOL! That's exactly what I did today! Besides, the weather here in L.A. has been really iffy. We had an earthquake today as well...it tickled me so much seeing my coworker Kara run around the office trying to find the safest spot... LOL! She's from Chicago so she's not quite used to them.

I am no photographer but I played around with iPhoto and edited the above picture and it looks sort of....shall I say..... flawless...its definitely hiding all flaws

What I am Wearing...

~ White Ruched Button Down Shirt...gift

~ True Religion Ripped Denims

~ Stripped Belt

~ Matisse Sandals

~ Matisse "Throw it all in Here" Leather Bag

~ Kukuly's Earrings

~ Glass Bangles

~ Payless Military Green Cap

Happy EffortLESS Wednesday!!!

The Day After

Geesh! It seems as tho every time I sit down with my laptop and decide to do a post I get writers' block. What's up with that, huh?!?! Why is it? Maybe I am still a bit nervous about writing publicly. Anyone has any suggestions to getting over this umm...shall we call it blog-blockage. Most times I have to continue telling myself "just do it, dive right in and get on with it already!"LOL. So that's exactly where I am.

Yesterday was the 4th of July and I really wish I had some awesome outfit to reveal to you guys. But I don't. Truth is, after looking at the pictures later that evening I thought my look looked like something that belonged in some old men bikers mag. And that I should be on the back of someones hog, introducing him as my "old man." SERIOUSLY!!! At least I could say we had some fun! And I absolutely enjoyed my day. I did get a compliment....but I don't think it was deserved....see for yourself....

what did i tell ya! biker chick gone wrong! we had a great time doing our Karaoke thang tho....

So on to the next day!

Check out my look for today... I call it WALK THE TALK (that's actually the name of the shoes wore here)

What I am Wearing...

~ Lace Stocking

Hope you guys had a great 4th of July!
