    State Fair Style

    July 21, 2015sacramento

    Today you get a double dose on The Lipstick Giraffe: a bit of style for the ladies and the fellas. Me and my mister went to the California State Fair for a fun weeknight excursion. One thing that any fair goer knows is that it is ALWAYS HOT. While some may ignore the weather and wear whatever they feel for the sake of making a statement, the majority of attendees dress to stay cool. But staying cool doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style.

    As a child, I looked forward to summer every year for two reasons: my birthday in August, and the Fair came to town. Back then, it used to start on my birthday week and run through Labor Day, but in recent years they have changed the dates for a couple of weeks in July. Hitting up the fair in my adult life hasn’t been on my list of must-do’s, but I made it a point to visit this year, and the fact that I am an AT&T GoPhone Ambassador made visiting even sweeter.

    Enjoy some snaps that Christie captured, and the outfit details at the end!

    CSP_3781rforwebOn Kachet:

    Romper: Old Navy. Shoes + Purse: Target. Earrings (stud) + Sunglasses: DISPLAY California. Rings: Charming Charlie.

    Because it’s so hot, shorts, a sundress or a romper must be in rotation. I wanted to wear something that was breathable, yet comfortable and vibrant. This romper from Old Navy did the trick. With hints of hot pink and neon yellow, the colors melded perfectly with the lights on the rides and the colorful prizes hanging at the game booths. My go-to purse for festivities like this is my crossbody bag. It keeps all of my essentials close to me, fashionably of course.

    On CJ: 

    Tee: Armani Exchange (similar). Shorts: Gap (similar). Shoes: Converse. Watch: Bulova. Sunglasses: Ray-Ban. Hat: Goorin Bros.

    For the gentleman in your life, opt for an outfit that is “easy with a dash of interesting.” Basic staples like a premium white v-neck and khaki shorts are perfect for a warm casual evening out. The dash of interesting was found in this amazing fedora from Goorin Bros. A fitted cap or a hat with a larger brim could’ve been the winner, but this fedora tied the look together.

    The California State Fair ends on Sunday! For the full 411, visit their website.

      Loved all the pics and followed along on IG. Congratulations on the ambassadorship. BTW, have you downloaded my app on GooglePlay as there are oftentimes coupons for Charming Charlie so you can add to your ring collection.

    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!
