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)

Sweating for Summer

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

Imagination

For the sake of anonymity and subtly, the front view of this darling outfit was not photographed.

 'Twas a lovely early dinner along the Delaware River with the family. Drinks were in hand, conversation was brewing and we were noshing on calamari, burgers and fish tacos. Yes, fish tacos. We were dressed appropriately and fashionably, donning maxi dresses, floppy hats, and khakis for the gents. It was near time to move to the bar, which was when we saw the outfit. Granted the town of New Hope is trendy, spunky, and diverse, there is a place and time for such apparel. For example, the Firefly Festival, Coachella, Sundance...basically any festival really...concerts, Fourth of July, etc. etc. Moral of the story, butt cheeks, bare bellies, and cleavage should be saved for the beach, not dinner time. Save the buns for the burgers.

That is all.

Blending In....

Let's set the scene, shall we? Date: National Margarita Day (aka Feb. 22) Time: Half Past Tipsy (about 10pm) Location: Random Mexican Restaurant with sketchy bar in the basement (but serves fabulous margaritas and chips btw).

So there I am at the bar with my girlfriends chatting, sipping, crunching, shmoozing, the whole deal. I'm literally wearing a beanie, skinny jeans, casual t-shirt and wedges....super casual (and adorable if I might add). So down the creeky, windy, Mexican tiled staircase comes suburban Cinderella. She wore a white lace, knee length dress, a white fur shrug, brown cowboy boots, gold disk earrings and a sock bun...and a cute watch...forget the watch. Honestly, I felt bad. Maybe she had come from somewhere and wanted to stop in for a last second National Margarita Day drink? But it was only 10pm...But why was her friend so casual? WHY is she wearing all white? ...The only events that are socially acceptable to wear all white to are 1. Your Wedding Day 2. Sorority Initiation. People were staring, she was clearly uncomfortable, we were all uncomfortable. I need answers.

It's An Outfit, Duh

I never shop for "outfits", I shop with pure A.D.D. I grab what I like, purchase it, and pray it matches something I have at home. It's as if I black out as soon as I walk through the store front. I'm seeking help. But anyways, clearly the other day at the mall my inner self was determined to buy the perfect summer concert outfit. I'm patting myself on the back. You go (Glenn) coco. Mean girls, anyone?

Jean fail

Words such as joutfit and jorts have become a part of our vocabulary. But what about japron or jurse? Well coconuts, they sound as unnatural as they look and the prime example is above. It's bad enough that the material is a washed out dad jean, but it's being used as, dare I say it, some sort of jean sack/purse but doubles as an apron. I actually can only look at this picture with one eye open. Photocred to my sister who had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting this creature in person. Brb gonna vom.

Because it's freezing out

Coco Says...

Even though she LOVES the fall season, she can't let go of her favorite summer maxis. This fab find from Zara is one of a kind. Since she's a Francesca's Collection jewelry hoarder, obviously she had to throw on a crowd favorite and pair the outfit with her white and wood blocked sandal wedges. I'll help her search the closet later for a light jacket. Adios summer. xoxo Coco
