Water Lantern Festival

 Last year I had the pleasure of going to the Water Lantern Festival with a dear friend and picked up this Tee as well as a flower crown or two. We are set to attend this year's festival on Saturday, tickets are still available in the link below. Don't know if I'll wear this shirt or go with something a bit more boho and airy we shall see.

Another photo shoot by a very murky river. Similar posts here and here. It was so hot and muggy that the outfit best called for had to be a simple tee and shorts, but not without some style, hence the bits of blue, the bag, etc.  I wanted to pointed out my sandals. They are from one of Target's years' past Pride collections when they had some backbone before rolling back it's commitment to diversity and inclusion.  The link provided for a similar pair of "rainbow" sandals is actually some weird branded collection attached to Pink Floyd and their Dark Side of the Moon album art. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in for Pink Floyd and have gone to the the laser show at the Kamin Science Center back in the day when it was the Carnegie Science Center. However to search for "rainbow sandals" and come back with those results from Target versus the their Pride branded offerings from several years ago leaves me with some not great feelings.  Hence my need to write some poetry on a lantern and set it afloat into the water and offer up healing and positivity. If you see my at the festival say "Hi!".

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental. You're welcome!
