A slow clap that no one joins into...

In the movies...someone starts a slow clap that is supposed to turn into an applause and then no one joins in and it's super awkward and they sit down...that's how I feel about this outfit.

She gave this a valiant effort. I will applaud that. And then I am sitting down.

White on white is a tough look to pull off. You can end up looking super Hamptons-chic or like marshmallow. With those pants, I am saying no to this shirt. A (white) tucked in blouse with a belt would allow these pants to shine. A simple heel would be the way to go here. Maybe a heel with a splash of color or a statement necklace. Neon heels are never a good idea. 

You can't sit with us.

Bye Felicia...

Sneakers

I love wearing them. 

I love that they are trending.

I hate this outfit.

    -a Haiku by Coco

Honestly though, sneakers are great. I can openly embrace my tomboy, workout-aholic style in public and still be considered fashion-forward (<<not really but whatever). This outfit though, is extreme(ly bad). She could have went with simple white Keds or a flat sandal..why oh why baby blue nike trainers with a lavender and black paisley spaghetti strap skater dress?! It just...it's mind boggling.

Possibilities: for the sake of the benefit of the doubt

   - she came from a soccer game to get lunch and forgot appropriate shoes

   - color blind (total possibility)

   - blind in general (doubtful though since she is looking at a cell phone...)

EASTER EGG: 

   - she is wearing a ring...engaged? married? just an accent piece?

We'll never know...

Have Me Some Hamsa

Finally got my tattoo finished last night! I just had the outline for a little over a year and I spontaneously made an appointment to add the design. I couldn't be happier with how it came out! I love the hamsa and what is stands for: protection, health, strength, guidance, culture, and so much more.

Who said Black and White was boring?

Ok, I know I am not really tan enough to have my nails and toes painted white but I did it and I don't r[a]gret it. I am so happy to finally be able to wear these Steve Madden pointed toe flats this season. The white really pops!  And the snake-skin detail on the straps adds some extra texture that I oh so enjoy. It's fun, flirty, and fabulous. <<<13 going on thirty quote...anyone? razzles?

    kk -__- Happy Sunday!

PS everyone should go and get a mani pedi NOW. I feel clean and crisp and exfoliated and ready to take on the world of sandals and shorts.

Double Trouble

If you follow my IG then you've already seen this pic (sigh...) but it is certainly worth a second look. These bathing suits actually fit. No side boob, no quadraboob, no nip slips <<hopefully. 

I got these online after much research and can be found super easily (now that I know what I am looking for). Jolidon, Janache and Freya swimwear gave me hope for this summer.

Israel and Aruba better watch out! I'm coming for ya!

Festive Purchases

What's more exciting that having planned trips for the summer? SHOPPING for those trips. I was never an online shopper..but...people change. And might I add that I have a keen eye for deals. I probably spend more money because I buy literally every deal to save money...so there's that...but new things just make me sOoo happy. 

Francesca's is such a fun store for statement pieces at a GREAT price. I can't wait to go somewhere so I can pack up my weekender bag. I'm also a sucker for fun sneakers to pair with basically everything. And necklaces...forget it...I see a cute one and I'm sold. (Kind of like with guys...lol)

I like to mix-and-match and I cannot lie

Life's too short to be afraid to mix and match. Found these pants a year ago digging through Marshall's (my secret love) and this is the first time I'm breaking them out! Since I'm at work, I figured I should corporate-up my outfit but adding this Forever 21 blazer (forever 21 ugh I know but, like, blazers are expensive!).Lastly, spiced up my outfit with black, snake-skin oxfords from h&m and added some color with layered jewels. 

PS...don't hate on my fitbit...it's not exactly fashion forward but I'm gettin my butt in shape -__-

Bc if you didn't take a mirror pic, did you even wear it?

Breaking out my favorite Spring dresses and playing around with statement necklaces. 

This splash of beautiful weather has given me so much refreshing energy. It's so easy to lose your motivation and sense of style when all you want to do is crawl into bed and binge watch House of Cards on Netflix. Even more, you are forced into a dreary routine of going to work and feeling exhausted, you don't even care that you wore shoes that may or may not have been questionably clashing with your blouse. 

Little things like packing healthy snacks for work, wearing a flashy necklace, or painting your nails can give you a little extra fun energy to get you through the day! Something outside of that "dreary routine" that is just for yourself can give you that extra push and sense of self for the day!

For me, today, it was getting up a little earlier to go to the gym and  throwing on a cute dress and necklace! Maybe I'll take the puppy for a long walk after work...

Sweating for Summer

Getting super motivated for my upcoming trips and summer plans! What are you doing to get in bikini shape?!

Coco has returned

Sorry Coconuts...after a long break I have returned....and with plenty of Coconut juice to quench your fashion-seeking thirst. 

Stay tuned.
