Here are some outtakes from my Travel Bug guest post on ModCloth. Pineapple print... hmm, what more can I say? This dress is fresh, playful, and simply perfect for summer. I also love how the super flare silhouette makes it even more youthful, makes me want to spin around! The straps are convertible too! There are buttons on the back so I can criss-cross the straps if I want to! Yet another fun element of this dress!

These photos were taken while I was running around town photographing different locations for my Travel Bug guest post on ModCloth (as mentioned in yesterday's post). The Boardwalk is a perfect backdrop for this playful ice cream cone print top. The white and mustard make a nice contrast against the blue background and the peplum is just too cute. The best part is that I just happen to have a totally matching ice cream cone necklace! I have had it for over a decade, and if I remember correctly the cone was actually my little sister's toy that I made into a necklace!

I am very excited to share with you something I have been working on this past month with ModCloth, Touring Santa Cruz with It's Not Her, It's Me. I didn't have to think twice when ModCloth asked me to guest post about Santa Cruz as part of their Travel Bug series. There is much more to Santa Cruz than the Boardwalk and hippies. I have been living in this beach town, located midway between San Francisco and Big Sur, with my fiancé and two cats for three years. A city girl at heart, Santa Cruz is a little quiet for me, but I do enjoy living right next to the ocean where I can picnic on the beach and take strolls along the coast. Hop on over to the ModCloth Blog and take a tour with me! Enjoy!

Hope everyone is enjoying this Memorial Day weekend! Did you wear red, white, and blue? I sure did! This chambray polka dot romper from my sponsor Lulu*s is so lovely. I adore the feminine sweetheart neckline and the playful open back that ties into a bow. The material is comfy and I love that it has pockets too. I added a pop of red with matching heart shaped glasses and Agnès B. purse. Oh, and I thought taking photos of this outfit at the harbor with all the sailboats was kind of perfect. Don't you think?

Who doesn't love a good daisy print? You can never go wrong with this classic black and white pattern. From 60s mod to modern day Marc Jacobs and Prada, daisy doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon and I am totally okay with that! This daisy print dress with side cut outs from Choies is easy and goes with anything, like my awesome Deandri Helga in red snake. I tied the two together with a burgundy floppy hat and black handbag and gave the look more layers with a light crochet sweater. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Today is my birthday! To be honest, I stopped looking forward to my birthday since turning twenty five few years ago. Don't get me wrong, I am not bitter but it's just not as exciting as being a teenager anxiously waiting to be in my 20s. Now, getting older simply means getting older. I did, however, want to have a very special outfit for today's post. Something that is fun and cheerful, something that is me. I love pink even when I don't typically wear a lot of it. This little pink embroidered rose bolero jacket from Poetry For Jane is one of the sweetest vintage finds ever! I paired it with a romper of a different shade of pink along other pink accessories. Ok, I'm off now to enjoy a day full of birthday activities! Ciao!

Wearing one of my all time favorites... the I Love You silk blouse by Vivetta. This piece is very special to me because it was a personal gift from Vivi herself! The cream color makes it versatile and easy to go with anything, this time I paired it with vintage high waisted heart print jeans from Little Iowa Vintage. Both of these pieces are rather subtle so the hearts on hearts action isn't too cheesy. I pulled the whole look together with ZeroUV sunglasses, gold loafers, Melie Bianco Bailey bag that I can't stop carrying, California bracelet, and a handmade crystal quartz cuff by Natalie Vivar. I will be doing a jewelry post soon so you will see details of this lovely piece then!

Roses aren't red, they are blue! At least the ones on this lovely dress are! I have fallen head over heels for this Mink Pink dress my sponsor Lulu*s sent me. It is the perfect summer dress with its vintage inspired cut and low scoop back. When I was changing into this outfit, there were a million pair of shoes I wanted to wear with it... white flats, red wedges, mustard sandals, etc. I finally settled with my TopShop strappy leather booties because I thought the brown and blue make a nice contrast. Oh did I mention the dress has pockets too? Now, that's a bonus!
