Coming Up Rosy

Last month we went to Thailand for a three day weekend again (I don't think we can ever get enough of Thailand!) Nothing is more perfect than being on the beach, wind in your hair and of course, the perfect beach attire. I threw just a few easy pieces into my backpack including my trusty crop top and a floral maxi skirt.

What is your favorite beach-ready outfit?

Basic Boho

When Carly from A Walk in the Park posted a photo-inspiration of the little black dressed styled bohemianly (yes, I just made "boho" into an adverb!) I instantly thought, Hey! I can do that too! It was such an exciting realization because I already had the essentials in my closet! I love to always be assessing, judging and figuring out how I can emulate another blogger's outfit or a perfect a pinterest style. But sometimes I have to shut it down. The thoughts in my head start saying, "You have to buy that. You need that. That will be perfect and give you everything you need."

Like I said. Shut. It. Down.

I don't want my life to be about always buying things. I don't want my blog to be either. I mean, I love a good shopping spree same as the next girl. But I constantly try to minimize my purchases. At the end of the day, I would rather spend my money on plane tickets and make memories.

So anyways, back to this outfit. I didn't need to buy anything! Yay! It was the perfect casual and easy outfit to meet Sara for coffee.

Being a Redhead

"Is your hair naturally red…?" is something that I get asked a lot. I wish it was because it would allow me to be a lot more lazy! But my hair color is very much enhanced. And I love being a redhead! I think it compliments my baby blues, my skin tone and my freckles. But it also matches nicely with my personality. I'm rarely ever shy and I never take myself too seriously. I'm pretty goofy and bubbly and I love a good adventure. You can't be a redhead and not get noticed! I highly recommend being a redhead at least once in your life.

Madison Reed is a natural hair color company that I've recently discovered. I've yet to try their product but I love the idea of setting up deliveries where your hair dye shows up at your door just when you need it! (For me, every 4-6 weeks). I also like their interactive website that helps pick out the perfect shade for you - the perfect virtual stylist!

So what do you think, sassy pants? Is being a redhead for you?

Everything is Better With Pink

You ever slip out an outfit and instantly feel like: damn, I'm as fresh as a daisy? That's how I felt wearing this. Let's go down the list of why I'm loving it:

peter pan collars

bows

big buttons

gingham

heart sunglasses

and the cherry on top: ice cream cone earrings which literally have cherries on top.

An outfit short and sweet!

Senorita Rosa

Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays; who doesn't love an excuse to indulge in margaritas and loooots of queso dip on the patio? In Georgia, that's pretty much any day - there seems to be a Mexican restaurant on every corner - each one more delicious and cheaper than the next. But I definitely get a bit homesick on the 5th of May.

Besides being addicted to queso, I love Mexican-inspired embroidery. This top worn with my new pink polka dot skirt & bowed-belt and I'm muy feliz!
