As I look at my computer screen right now I have 21% battery left. I’ve decided that I’ve got just until that battery fades to finish this post. I guess that’s how I achieve work/life balance, by constantly some how managing to do the impossible in too little time on too little sleep. Man am I tired. It’s been a hard day, but the good kind where you know the exhaustion will pay off in progress. Data is passed out at my feet and making soft whimpers as I type. I have never been more jealous of him. 
First things first, since most of you will read this blog solely to get the details on these very fancy pants, I will indulge you sooner rather than later. These floral harem pants are from ASOS and the pink top is from Eloquii. I like it because it has a bow in the back, just like me-secretly girly. The gilded sandals are Crocs, because it’s hot and I just want to be comfortable. Lastly, the jewelry is a set I almost missed my flight home from Delhi, India for. Good accessories are important.
I wore these pants today, because some days we simply dress to make ourselves stronger. Today was one of those days. After a hellacious trip into NYC last night, I just wanted to wear something bright, as a symbol I would not back down if the day decided to get hard. No white flag would be waved. And I would not just seize the day; I would do it boldly and with as much confidence as one can wearing floral harem pants.
Today, I wanted to be seen.

This dress has been my go to vacation dress for years. I mean obviously a neon, yet some how not tacky, under the sea inspired wonder dress is timeless. I found this stunner on Amazon and from the moment we hook up it’s been love. This dress is a unicorn, somehow managing to be flattering, comfortable and cost under $20. Budget friendly babe-ly-ness? Sign me the eff up.This is not an advert, no one paid me to put this dress on blast. It’s just legitimately one of the best purchases I have made for my vacation wardrobe. And it’s been with me to to Bermuda, Hawaii, Jamaica, and now a cruise and survived. So not only is it amazing, it also holds up. Today is still looks as “fresh and clean clean” as the day I freed it from it cardboard cage and plastic straight jacket.
Now let’s talk about these shoes- GREEN METALLIC!!! You swab something in a little sparkle and suddenly you’ve got the comfort of pool slide hidden in the package of the next greatest trend. For a whopping $21, these slides have been my main jam this summer.
And of course no metallic under the sea boss lady queen look would be complete without a tiara. I found this rock crystal “mermaid crown” from favorite secret accessories store- Five Below. For $3, I was gone with the ocean flow fabulous. Five below is birck & Mortar only, so you’ll have to drop by a nearby location to snag one of these beauts.

Recently I headed out on a fun little weekend getaway to San Antonio, Texas. You may not know it, but Amazon called this Texas jewel the “Most Romantic City in the US.” Maybe something I should have researched before heading out on my road trip. Because of course, I go to the most warm fuzzy, love filled city as a single girl who’s closest love is a bottle of wine and internet shopping.
My Road Warrior Look
For my on the road experience, I kept things comfortable. I like to wear clothes that I can move in. Bonus, if they can hide the inevitable chip dust that gets on everything as a result of driving and road trip snacking simultaneously. Hence, the patterned shirt. Also if you’re looking for the ultimate road trip bathroom experience, you ought to check out Buccee’s- it’s magical. Yes, I just called a rest stop magical and it wasn’t a hyperbole. Here what I wore for my “Road Warrior” look.
How To Be A Sassy Sightseer
No visit to San Antonio is complete without a stop at the Alamo, infamous for Davy Crocket’s last stand. While historically it has an impressive history, it’s visually less exciting than I imagined. I found San Antonio’s lesser celebrated gem- the San Fernando Cathedral- much more architecturally pleasing. Obviously, I’m a sucker for pretty things ,so that might have played into forming my opinion.
Touring around the city the temperatures were around 95 degrees and oh so sunny. Luckily, I had picked these rad shorts and lightweight t-shirt to help me deal. Maybe I should have worn sandals, but I personally appreciate a little extra cushioning for my feet when walking on concrete for long stretches of time. Sometimes you have to sacrifice one type of comfort for another. Here’s what I wore for my “Sassy Sightseer” look
Beat The Heat With A Pool Party
After stomping around historical San Antonio, I didn’t just want pool time, I needed it. Luckily the hotel provided me with a great option to help me chill. However, I secretly wish I had an infinite budget for adventuring because then I would have checked out JW Marriott’s award winning lazy river just outside San Antonio. I have been jokingly telling people this is my dream destination for over a year. However, I’m not sure it’s a joke anymore. What’s better then floating down a perfectly manicured river with an adult beverage in your hand? Here’s the details on my Simply Be bikini: bikini top and bottom.
Making an Entrance
If you want authentic Mexican cuisine, San Antonio is the place to go. You’ll need to step off the riverwalk to fine one of the best places for fiesta filled foods. Just off the cobble stone tourist filled path is Mi Tierra, a place that claims to have the “best Mexican food,” and actually lives up to it. If you’re determined to dine with views of the river, my recommendation is Biga on The banks. It’ not Mexican, but you can’t always get everything you want.
I like to rock a good jumpsuit out for dinner. It’s comfortable and with so many options on the market these days it’s easy to find one that fits the occasion perfectly. Plus, if you decide to drink and dance it up, you don’t have to worry about flashing anyone. Here’s what I used to create my “Margarita Mama” look.
Rolling Down the Riverwalk
I couldn’t leave San Antonio without a leisurely stroll down the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk is a pretty magical place with colored umbrellas dotting the cobble stone roads, water features decorating the paths and lovely landscaping. If you want to explore the Riverwalk by boat, avoid the expensive tour boats and instead use the city’s water taxi for a fraction of the cost.
I chose a muted dress for the river walk because I knew everything would be so colorful- why compete? I love how airy and girly this dress felt. It was perfect piece for my last day of exploring. To recreate this “Ruffled Riverwalk” look, follow the details below.
A big thanks for Simply Be for sponsoring this amazing adventure in fashion. Where should I go next?

I can’t not share this look. I am on cloud nine as a result of its bold colors, sassy flounced hems, and sassy shades. I feel like the might phoenix of the pool. A bold bird rising up from the ashes of the work week- born anew in the gold rays of the sun. Bonus, the suit is so comfortable and I feel content in the fact I turned a totally fugly shirt, into a totally adorable cover up simply by slicing it down the front. 
Here’s the details on the pieces I am rocking in this look.

Athleisure wear is comfortable. Athleisure wear is cute. But athleisure wear is not work appropriate… or is it? I challenged myself to define a new fashion class.
Call it busleisure, workletics, jobsport or whatever other quirky new age name you want. I will simply call it comfortable at the cubicle, wearable at the water cooler, and baller at the board meeting.
This look perfectly encompasses the merger of my business and sporty self. The dress is a structured, funky yet, classic business look from Eloquii. However, instead of a predictable blazer I’ve paired this stunner with a kimono style cropped work out jacket from Nike (no longer available, but I like this alternative).
To add a little more oomph to the look, I paired this fashion knock out with my favorite necklace from my home girl Nina Berenato and my favorite gold as eff sneakers (also from Nike, no longer available but here’s an alternative).
The result is style that make you wonder- just wear is this girl going? She’s going to run the world, sir. She’s going to run the world.

It’s Friday so here’s a bunch of photos of me and my dog with wind blown hair and nautical vibes. Shout to Data for putting up with my constant shenanigans. The striped dress is from Old Navy, superbly comfortable espadrille shoes are from Target, and the necklace is a vintage find from Good Will.
