Where's Waldo? In Santa Cruz.

J.Crew Factory dress. Michael Kors Satchel. Tommy Hilfiger trench. Bloch flats.

You guys,

My sister accused me of abandoning the blog, so I had no choice but to post and prove her wrong. In your face, sis! Look at me, all dressed against a new backdrop. On a different note, this dress may be available in blue at the store... Wanna be twinsies?

P.S. Let's Instagram, y'all!

The Girl With Sunspots

Talbots shirt. Zara pants. Banana Republic sweater. Sperry Top-Siders. Chapters tote.

Leftovers

Banana Republic top & skirt. Talula hat.

J.Crew Jackie cardigan. Talbots top. Banana Republic skirt. Geox sandals.

More Than One Way To Skin A Cat

Tee and skirt, Club Monaco. Sperry Top-Siders. Talula hat.

Outfits like this one are a mere memory now that I'm trolling the city in wellies and multiple layers (the only reminder of warm weather are my now peeling layers of skin). What is it about aestival escapes that makes my clothes fit better, makes me eat healthier meals, and generally feel more comfortable in my own skin? Sporadic siestas can't be the only way to do this. A move may be in order.

Get Religion

Shell & skirt, Banana Republic. Sandals, Geox.

At home, I iron religiously but on vacation, this was the outfit I chose to wrinkle on not one, but five local buses in Puerto Vallarta, complete with paintings of the Virgin Mary and a Joseph that bore an uncanny resemblance to Bill Murray. Traffic was a bit frightening, so thank God for Bill Murray.

Mexico On My Mind

Aestival Assets

Talbots top. Banana Republic skirt.

Dressing in two items of clothing may be on the boring side, but it certainly pleases those prone to bloating (no more Spanx-like tights! women's apparel is evil!). I wish I could don a forgiving skirt and eat my weight in guacamole every day but alas, it's back to winter for this Mexico-enamored maiden. Weekly feasts at La Taqueria will have to do until next time.
