    The Ultimate Summer Layer

    June 16, 2016fashion

    It’s not quite summer yet, but it’s knocking on our door here in Sacramento. With sunshine one day and a cool breeze the next, outer layers are so so important. This long trench vest has walked onto the scene and changed things up in a major way.

    First off, let me just apologize for getting your hopes up about this trench vest. They are hard to find and it’s sold out online except for plus size. It was part of the launch of the Who What Wear collection at Target and sold out pretty quickly. The only reason I got my hands on this is because I stopped at a Target store in a rural area on the way home from out of town not far from the launch date. I’ve linked some similar ones and be sure to check your stores regularly too in case someone returns one!

    While I’m wearing this with cropped jeans and a basic white tee, it’s definitely had its fair share of remixed looks.  I’ve worn it with a black dress underneath. I’ve worn it with tall boots, flat sandals and wedges. I’ve worn it with a hat and a big tote bag. It really is that one piece that you can throw on top of anything and look exceptionally chic.

    One way I coordinated this with the white tee and jeans was a subtle pop of color…a pop of PINK. The Pompeii Necklace from Park Lane Jewelry is my fav because of the tassel flair! I took the pink and matched my lipstick with it. If you aren’t comfortable with loud colors, that is the best way to ease into your pop of color. Small hints go a long way! 🙂

    Happy Monday + Happy MLK Day to you! I woke up thi Happy Monday + Happy MLK Day to you! I woke up this morning saying it was gonna be a good day. So here I am! HERE FOR IT. So I’ll pass the good vibes onto you. Let’s do something our future selves will thank us for and be of service to our fellow sisters (and brothers, too). Inauguration Day is just a couple of days away...so many emotions. How are you doing over there?
    Hello from me + sunbathing @lifeofrudytheboston! I Hello from me + sunbathing @lifeofrudytheboston! I knew I was gonna take a break from social media, but I didn’t realize it was gonna be two weeks. 👀 Been trying to transition into 2021 with a clear head, lots of gratitude, reflecting, reading, healing and adopting some new habits. I’ve got major goals this year and I’m trying to stay consistent, starting with my daily routine. I’ve got my SQUAD personally + professionally to hold me accountable. I won’t be stopped. ⚡️

Y’all - We learned the lessons last year. Now it’s time to apply. Remember that awakening last June? Yeah, that was just the beginning. I hope you’re paying attention to what’s happening around you. There’s a lot more work to do and we need to do it together.

How are you doing over there? What’s new in your neck of the woods?
    Why am I smiling + kneeling in the bathroom? Becau Why am I smiling + kneeling in the bathroom? Because I partnered with @homedepot to tile the floor of our half bath with QuicTile by @daltile! 🤩 This is the first major DIY over here and after having the tile around for a bit, we had to just go for it — and let me just tell you, I wish we had done it sooner.
-
From prep to reveal, the refresh happened in just matter of hours. And now, the half bath feels like we’re somewhere else… 🤣 maybe a hotel?! ➡️SWIPE TO SEE THE BEFORE. 

Wondering how it happened in hours? You install the QuicTile on top of the existing floors by putting down an underlayment to protect the surface below. The tiles “click” together and before you know it, it’s time for grout. Seriously. There are so many different variations of QuicTile that you can have fun with in any room of your home! It doesn’t have to be scary. Click the link in my bio to get to the post with process details and to see it all happen. 
-
And selfishly, I can’t wait until it’s safe to have people over so they can see the glow up! The plan now is to add pictures and wacky art on the walls so it gets people talking. Are you planning any home projects for 2021? Tell me what you’re up to!

    Y’all, I rounded up five of my favorite brut ros Y’all, I rounded up five of my favorite brut rose’s that won’t break the bank! 🥂🙌🏾🍾Each is under $25 and the list starts at $8.99, just in time for you to grab for your New Year’s Eve at home.

You’ve been here for all of my bubbly moments ☺️ (thank you, BTW) and it’s about time I share what I look for when I head to the wine shop! Now, they may have some similarities but each brut rose gives the palate a different experience!
-
And yes, I shared where to get it and what to pair with it, although, a glass of bubbles by itself is always appropriate! 😉 Click the link in my bio for the full roundup and let me know what you think, if you’ve tried any of them, and if you have a rec to share. Cheers and let’s say goodbye to this year with a little flair!
