This is my one last effort on giving shorts a shot, so you all better listen up and enjoy it! I’m sure it comes as no surprise to all of you that crochet shorts are all the rage. They can be seen everywhere, and I’ve personally seen quite a few of my favorite bloggers rocking a pair or two. Even though I struggle with a love/hate relationship with shorts, I had to give these a little love. They are a little vintage, and a little sassy (kind of like me), so what’s not to love? 
File this one under fashion icon. Although I don’t know a whole lot about Blake Lively (except that she was stupid enough to leave naked pictures on her cell phone), what I do know is that she can dress like a mofo. I don’t think she has had one faux pas in my book, and that’s saying a lot (I can be a little critical). I mean, honestly what wouldn’t look good on this girl? She is a tall, leggy blonde with a phenomenal body. Total envy!
If she’s your cup of tea as well, check her out in Oliver Stone’s new flick, Savages, alongside veteran hump day hottie, Taylor Kitsch.
Still attempting the “trying to love shorts” project. And I have to admit, I’m kind of losing this battle. I just do not find them very flattering, although I did think this outfit was very cute, festive and summer-y. I’m not going to toss all my shorts in a bonfire anytime soon, but I believe I’ll stick to skirts, dresses, pants and jeans for now. You know who is the real star of this post? MY HOUSE. Isn’t it just the cutest??? Sorry, I have homeowners tourettes. I also loved that I am now able to twirl my hair and apply some hairspray and voila! Instant beach hair! It’s very hard to even consider getting a haircut on days like this!
Additionally I want to thank a lot of you for giving me recommendations last week on places to find great shorts for my body type. As I’m sure you can all tell, I am very petite on top, while my hips don’t lie (thank you Cuban roots), so I appreciate a good curvy fit. I will definitely be checking out Ann Taylor Loft as suggested, and so should all you other ladies with a similar shape!

In case you don’t know, WE ARE OFFICIALLY IN MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!!!
That means I can start acting like a prima donna and expect to be showered in gifts without being called a delusional princess psycho. Not that anyone calls me that throughout the rest of the year or anything. Just to clarify.
It also means I can start putting together birthday wishlists!!! Woohoo!!! Here are just a few of the things I have stumbled upon that I expect to see the weekend of July 27th. Got it? Good.
1. ASOS Pleated Mini Skirt
2. Brities Oxfords
3. Love Ballad Tunic
4. Zig Zag Bangle Set
5. Leopard Blouse
6. Pink Romper
7. Woof! There It Is Scarf
8. Mint Blouse
9. ASOS Spike Bracelet
10. Striped Contrast Blazer
11. Suede Wedge
12. Sheer Skull Blouse
13. Designer Initial Necklace
14. Black Chevron Necklace
15. Polka Dot Loafers
You know how I love a good happy outfit to turn my frowns upside down, and this one is just perfect. The second I put it on and tried to think of a good and fun shoot for it, I couldn’t help but grab the bubbles and tie my hair in pigtails. It was just screaming for it. Every now and then, I think it’s perfectly OK to act childish. Alright, so I pretty much think this is OK every day. Life is too short to take so seriously, would you not agree?
ps; I think I may be completely obsessed with Revlon’s lip butters. Have you tried them?

Although How I Met Your Mother has gone the way of the dodo (did I really just use that phrase???), I think all of us can agree that the only remaining positive is Neil Patrick Harris and his character, Barney Stinson. It’s impossible not to fall in love with the sensitive, yet douche-tastic Barney and his fantastic one-liners. It helps that NPH is just a generally awesome person with some serious abs. Win/win.

Although I live in one of the most humid and sticky places in the US, I have a hard time rocking shorts. I’m just not a huge fan, but find them a necessity to my wardrobe due to our weather. To make them a little more desirable, I decided to stock up on fun summer colors. I was lucky to find a killer sale at the Gap outlet a couple of weeks ago on just that, and these were one of my take aways! Aren’t they a fun and sunshine-y shade of yellow?
