Fresh Faces

Top by Madewell, tennis skirt by Adidas, Michael Kors flipflops, and Toywatch

Ah, summer! Sunny days are here again. And by that I mean: I need to get a better tan! That's really the only reason I ever go swimming - I treat each trip to the pool like some sort of chore...

To Do List:

-pick up dry cleaning

-buy milk

-sit in sun for 3-4 hours in cute Juicy Couture bathing suit trying to keep the latest W out of the pool water*

*I suppose this is my cue to remind everyone to wear sunscreen to prevent skin cancer and whatnot, but I hold the belief that those warnings really only speak to a fraction of the population and it's rather ethnocentric to disregard evolutionary differences between people and their natural defences against the sun. But, you know, don't go getting skin cancer or anything - for many of us, the safest thing to do is slather on that SPF 50.

Anyway, this is a new skirt that I got for golf... I play a lot of tournaments during the summer. I played one on Monday, have another scheduled for next Monday. (Golf's the reason my tan is so awful in the first place - remind me to show you my insane tan lines later.)

Hope you're having nice weather and enjoying the sun!

P.S.

Anyone notice how hot chunky white watches are right now? Check out my post-Christmas post and you'll see... I basically started that trend. (Hahahaha...)

A Masquerade!

First off: Wore a romper today - so comfy! It was totally cute and really fun.

But what I'm really excited about is this Saturday. I'm going to a masquerade Quinceanera (for those of you who don't know, it's a big 15th birthday bash, like a sweet 16)! It's going to be loads of fun. There will be dinner and dancing... and, of course, masks!

Funny, I was just telling my mother the other day how I wanted to go to a quince.

So my mask arrived in the mail today (we ordered it online), see it above. I'm wearing it with a cream/gold brocade shift dress by Elie Tahari, my gold Miu Miu flats (which, unfortunately, have taken a bit of a beating from my scrambling all over the place in them), and a gold Juicy Couture clutch.

As you can see, my color scheme is cream and gold.

Basically, that's it. I actually really need to buy some self-tanner (golfing has left my legs tan, feet white, and thighs somewhere in between)... any suggestions? I've never used it before, but of course I've heard terrifying stories about streaking and orange coloring and all that, so I really want to do it right.

Keeping You Posted

Okay, since no one commented on the last post I'm assuming it bored you all out of your minds... although it was rather interesting, in my opinion. Haha.

Recently I interviewed Rochelle Rae of Rae Cosmetics (raecosmetics.com). It's not like they're famous or anything but it was interesting. I did it for a class I have in writing. She was really nice, and used to be a painter, in college, got an art degree, modeled for a bit, became a makeup artist, and then created her own line of cosmetics. I'm mentioning this because ... it's the only interesting thing that's happened of late.

Oh. Today I watched Baby Mama, via NetFlix. It was good. It was kind of funny, but less funny than you'd expect from Tina Fey. But it was really... heartfelt and sweet. I thought it was a good movie.

I cannot WAIT for the weekend. I am firming up my plans with a friend, and have lot of golf planned. Did you know I play golf? I do. And I adore it. Those of you who think golf is for old people and weaklings - you're wrong. It's great but I can write about that some other time.
