Yes I know Memorial Day is around the corner and you're supposed to break out all those white pieces you've been saving all year... But if you're like me, you're rarely brave enough to wear white - especially to any sort of cook out type gathering - because you will for SURE spill some sort of ketchup or mustard on you within the first 5 minutes.
SO that being said, I have found the perfect Memorial Day dress... That's not white. LOL
It's 100% cotton so it's super comfy and light... And who doesn't love a distracting stripe!?!? -I mean it's practically perfect! This dress is def good for those of us who are a lil curvy, but even for those of you who aren't, this dress adds the illusion of curves so don't be afraid to try something like this! I purchased it a while back at Urban Outfitters, it's not available anymore, but you can shop similar by scrolling down to the end of this post. :)
These BCBG Aviators were too cute to not pair with this... And instead of going with a traditional red lip (which would reallllly complete the red, white & blue theme), I chose neon orange... because... why not!?!? :) I'm wearing Wet N Wild's Purty Persimmon.
Simple gray faux leather studded purse to top it off...
And simple jewels - because I hate wearing clunky jewelry on a hot day.
Have an amazing, SAFE Memorial Day weekend friends!
Hello and happy #EXTRAhotdeals day! :) I about flipped out when I finalized this week's sale! Any time I can offer you guys real DIAMONDS at a crazy discount I get excited. -Add the eyebrow kit on top of that and you've got sheer perfection! Enjoy! ***AND REMEMBER YOU ONLY HAVE 1 WEEK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE EXTRA HOT DEALS!***
For this week I chose a fun black & white combo from Forever21. It was kinda chilly outside so I wanted to have my arms covered, and this was a perfect option.
I know what you're thinking..... The skirt is super short... BUT it's not a skirt! MWAHAHAHAAAA! It's actually a skirt/shorts combo. Underneath the outter dress layer is (attached) shorts. GENIUS! So no worrying about the wind blowing, or bending over, or anything! I'm totally covered.
There are so many different ways to wear a piece like this, I chose to pair it with a blouse, but it'd be super cute just on it's own, or even with a t-shirt underneath.
Since I am "on camera," I always like to add a pop of color. It translates better on television and doesn't look as bland. So today I grabbed this super fun neon orchid and turquoise statement necklace from Charming Charlie.
I matched my lipstick as best I could using MAC's Up the Amp lipstick layered with Pink Nouveau. And lastly, and topped it off with Haute Collection lashes in style no.37.
I was actually feeling a bit under the weather this week, so in an effort to save what little voice I had, I wasn't able to chat much with the crowd. :( Yeah, it was kinda sad especially since that's usually the highlight of shooting days!
I do wanna thank everyone who DID come out though - we had a GREAT crowd there. Shout out to the gorgeous girlies of CBU New Song Choir who hung around for a while!
Here are a few behind the scenes shots...
Jesse putting the finishing touches on my hair - he's the best!
Yeah I saw this headline and didn't believe it until I saw the video for myself. Take a look at the footage below. You'll see Bey, her younger sister Solange, and Jay-Z all get into an elevator along with a bodyguard. There's no audio, but something intense is goin down.
Now, this all happened on the night of the MET gala - remember how cute B & J were on the red carpet?
Ya gotta wonder what happened to make Solange go off like that! Was it just a case of too much alcohol and a lil misunderstanding? Jay-Z seemed to keep his cool throughout the fight, as well as Beyonce... I'm actually surprised at how she seemed to stay out of it. I know if someone was goin' after my hubby like that I'd have a hard time keeping calm.
This picture was taken right after the fight went down as they exited the elevator. Beyonce sure is good at putting on a pretty face like nothin happened!
Such a bizarre situation!!! What do you think the cause of the fight was?
So I decided this week I won't make ya scroll alllllll the way to the bottom of the post to catch up on #EXTRAhotdeals. :) In case ya missed this week's segment, you can check it out below.
So let's talk outfit details.
As you guys know... I'm a city girl through and through, so this dress is as close to camo as I get. I guess calling this pattern camo is a bit of a stretch anyway, but hey let's go with it! :)
I'm actually OBSESSED with this dress. It's by Charlie Jade, and I love the black detailing on the side, the touch of neon in the pattern, and the fit. It's absolutely perfect.
For my feet I chose my classic black patent pumps by Chinese Laundry.
And now for some fun behind the scenes pics! If you ever happen to be out in the Los Angeles area, make sure you stop by Universal City Walk to catch #EXTRAhotdeals live!
I've been doing a lot of pinks and reds lately so I had to switch things up for this week's EXTRA appearance.
This neon yellowish/green color is one of my all time favs to wear - especially paired with a pink lip... but we'll get to that in a second...
So the top is a shirt I purchased a while back from Saks 5th Ave - it's one of their in house brands - and I love the oversized sleeve look that it has.
This quilted faux leather skirt from Naked Wardrobe is def going to become a staple in my wardrobe simply because it's SO versatile! I also like that the length is a bit longer... it's a great mix of sexy yet not over the top. I paired it with my classic Chinese Laundry pumps - super comfy for such a high heel with just the right amount of platform.
Also, note the exposed zipper on the back of this skit. #OBSESSED
I went pretty subtle on the jewels again... paired my classic Stella & Dot Renegade Cluster bracelet with my Breitling.
And for my neck jewels I went with my new Charlene K monogram necklace available for $29 now on STYLEMINED.COM.
(FYI it also comes in a "Mom" monogram - perfect for Mother's Day!)
Okay, let's talk makeup. I never get tired of a barbie pink lip.... ever. Pink Nouveau by MAC is my go-to color when I want to achieve this look.
We had another gorgeous day of shooting this week - I'm LOVING this California Spring! Not to mention, something about purses and jewelry just gets me excited!!! :)
Sidenote... can we mention how amazing Maria's dress is? That blue is GORGE!
Time for some crowd shots. This is honestly my fav part of the day: meeting and chatting with all of the fun people who come out to watch the show live!
And of course - in case you missed this week's #EXTRAhotdeals segment - here ya go!

Happy Friday! Hope you all have had a great week. Mine was packed with running errands, furniture shopping, and meetings, meetings, MEETINGS.
On the day pictured below I needed to look professional but still wanted to feel like myself, so why not break out my brand new hot pink harem pants?
Harem pants can be really great, or really badddd depending on the fit - and this pair from Naked Wardrobe is absolutely perfect. The material is so light and airy which makes them extremely comfy.
I paired them with some gray wedge Vince Camutos that have been a closet staple of mine for 2 years now. I LOVE a great wedge.
On a normal day I might pair these pants with a cute crop top - but obviously I wasn't about to walk into a business meeting lookin cray so I opted for one of my fav flowy tops I purchased a couple years ago from Private Gallery. I tucked in the front and left the back out, giving it that hi/low look.
Now let's talk the closeups. I was SO EXCITED to finally get to try out my brand new liquid lipstick from Nova Beauty. When I realized that I had the exact pink to match the pants, it was a MUST! [The color I'm wearing is called Rich Girl]
Here's a better shot of the lipcolor and my new fav layering necklace. If you follow me on instagram then you have probably seen a snapshot of this spikey beauty. It's from Shop Prima Donna, is only $18.99 and comes in black as well.
Alrighty - time to get this weekend started!!!!! -And by that I mean I'll be packing, unpacking and settling into my new apt! :)
Okay, so this week's #EXTRAhotdeals segment was centered around Earth Day. We featured some amazing eco-friendly items [scroll down for those details], and...well... I tried to think earthy when choosing my outfit for today.
Flowers and lace are earthy right?!?! I guess I look more like I'm heading to a garden tea party than a hippy picnic, but whatevs! :)
It was love at first sight with this dress by Bariano Australia. The color instantly won me over, and when I discovered the structured shoulder it was a done deal!
The black detailing not only adds some nice shape, but a little bit of edge which I'm always up for! It was a bit "boobalicious" for my conservative[ish] self, so I did pair it with a nude cami which blended surprisingly well with the nude under layer of the dress.
It was such a fun day on set today - the crowd was extra lively! Here are some fun behind the scenes shots with Maria Menounos and some of the super sweet people who came to watch the show live!
Now let's talk the DEALS! This is one of my fav segments YET! The first item - featured in the video below - is a game changer for those of you who, like me, suffer from migraines. Check out the video and visit www.STYLEMINED.com for the details!
