In the Mood for a Jet Setter Lifestyle

I love me a pair of paper bag shorts, especially for the right price. Unfortunately, when you buy a cheap pair of shorts, the material starts pilling like crazy. And if you carry a large bag that rubs against your shorts while walking, you're basically ensuring their doom.

I'm not sure these fake suede shorts are made out of but it must be nothing short of magic.  Not only does it look and feel like real suede but it survives the long walks with my camera bag, allowing me to work with no worry.

This outfit is certainly perfect for traveling or even in the office in the summer time.

In the Mood for a Journey in Technicolor

At first I tried these shoes on as a joke but they looked so good on me that I was convinced I could make them work. I think my goal this week was transform these shoes into something that will work for every day. I had the idea to pair them with my collection of happy socks and I found out that they were the perfect way to make my socks shine. My favorite thing about happy socks are that they often look different from every angle and, depending on the shoes and outfit, you may only see bits and pieces of these socks. However, with clear shoes, the socks really get a chance to be shown off.

What do you think of my shoes and socks? Can I pull these off for every day wear?

In the Mood for the Highs and Lows

Only in Seattle can you find yourself amidst perfectly beautiful weather one day and using every speed your windshield wipers have to offer the next. The surprise bursts of sun always make me excited for the coming spring and summer and I've been looking for the perfect high low skirt to flaunt for quite a while now. The one that Forever 21 has to offer is light enough to trail behind you, bright enough to turn heads, and honestly it's something anyone can afford which is probably why it's sold out. Fortunately the high low trend has gotten big enough to find this skirt in any style and any color. I'm not a big fan of animal print but these snake skin wedges go with everything and I love how the print contrasts with the leather.
