WILD FOR VIOLET

Wedge sneakers: Pink & Pepper | Jeans: Minusey { also loving these ones } | Shirt: H&M { other options here & here } | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff  { different colors here & here } | Watch: Michael Kors |   Rings: mini bow & glitz bow via Ily Couture | Spike bracelet: Cara

I would like to start by announcing the winner of Albeit Jewelry International Giveaway. Congrats to Alison from StylingMyLife, hope you love the necklace as much as I do!!!! 

Having laid eyes on a pair of wedge sneakers for the first time, I knew right away this was the shoe for me. Comfort, style and my favorite shade of purple, ummm..., yes please! How comfortable are they? Well, I took them on a 5 mile hike to Malibu today and have to report that my feet are still in tact! Other parts of me, not so much cause I'm so rusty, but no purple toes or blisters:) 

Gotta say, Emil and I used to go hiking all the time, but over the past year we've become a little lazy, so this was our first proper one in at least a few months. Certainly was an eye opening experience, I pretty much assumed that running a few times a week will keep me in a fairly good shape. Boy was I wrong! The back of my legs was burning as we were walking up a steep heel. By the time we got back to the car we were absolutely exhausted! Naturally we can't wait to do it again, so the plan is to do a 10 mile one next weekend. Let you know how that goes:)

P. S. I've gotten so many emails about these cute bow rings, I though I should talk a little bit about them on the blog. They are from Ily Couture, a brand I absolutely adore and wear all the time. In terms of fit, they are true to size and the glitz bow ring is adjustable, which is pretty convenient! You can find them HERE

Happy Monday, Everyone!

GAGA FOR GREEN

(Zara sweater & heels, Jeans - old, similar here & here,  Asos spike link bracelet, also loving this one, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag, other cute shades here & here, JCrew bracelets)

Hey Everyone,

I want to take this opportunity to ask for your help because I am facing a true hair emergency. I've been using the same shampoo for the past 6 years. Before I found Fresh Milk & Rose shampoo my hair always looked like a tangled mess, but once I started using it my hair became pretty silky and manageable. Well, about 3 weeks ago I found out it's being, gasp, discontinued!!!!  I am down to my very last bottle and I can't find it anywhere!!!! So, if anyone knows a pretty good moisturizing shampoo I am completely open to your suggestions. 

Oh, and I continue on my quest to wear every shade of green imaginable. I am pretty gaga for green lately:)

COLOR CURIOUS

(Ted Baker striped skater skirt & applique detail T shirt, Jeffrey Campbell Dresden sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag, cute ones here & here)

Not entirely sure how a pair of pockets on a skirt can turn a grown woman to mush, but somehow they did. As soon as I spotted this skirt in a store, I fell head over heel for it's shape and color but once a realized it had side pockets the battle was over. What can I say, I am a sucker for cute details:)

In other news, I just found out my brother got his very first acceptance letter from one of the universities he's applied to! Such a proud moment! He happens to be one of those amazing people who effortlessly have everything together, from the very early age he knew what he wanted to do and which university he wished to attend. I feel like this is one of those important steps to finally realizing his dreams for the future. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to let him know how proud Emil and I are of all his accomplishments and just how much we love him.
