A La Leopard.....

I've had to get really creative with my outfits on vacation, since I was not all prepared for the super warm weather.  I haven't been able to wear heels as much as I normally do, sad face, but its all in the name of being a tourist walking to the train daily.  Not to mention comfort, which at this point is way more important than the illusion of longer legs.  :)  I am in my last week of vacation and know that in an instant I will be back at work and reality.  I hope you all had a great weekend.

Japan Week 1: Through the Instagram Lense......

What a world wind this week has been.  I can't believe the time is flying by so quickly and my first week here is already over.  :(  As I mentioned in my last post the weather here has been so hot but everyday we still hit the pavement, sweaty and all to take in the sights and sounds of this wonderful country.  Here are a couple snaps from my first week here.  I hope you all had a great week and enjoy and even better weekend.








1. Our first stop daily, the Yokohama Train Station.
2. Lines and lines of handles for on board passengers.
3. Vending machines line the streets here like Starbucks x10.
4. The "Sunbrella" also known as the umbrella, a VERY important accessory here.
5. Yummy muffins from my trip to Tokyo Disney
6.  Since there is a lack of space inn most homes baking is a luxury.  There are tons of bakeries all over to fulfill your pastry needs.
7. Just me.

Greetings from Japan....

I finally had the chance to squeeze in some pictures of a recent outfit.  Between hanging out with family and the sweltering heat its been a challenge.  Japan has been amazing and the language barrier has not been as difficult as I anticipated.  Since its been unbearably warm I have been keeping it pretty simple.  You know I had to include the Japanese double peace sign pose.  :)

Style Tip: You can still be fashionable when the temperature is less than desirable.  Light cotton knit dresses, and single layers work best.  Add simple accessories and you have a cool, cute look.

This Little Piggy...

I have seen this little piggy bank on a few different design blogs over the past year.  I love the idea of a modern take on such and old classic.  They are a little more than I would like to pay at about 100 a pop but all in the name of design right?

P.S.- Sorry for the lack of posts this week.  I was preparing to come to Japan to visit my brother and his family.  I will do my absolute best to update as much a possible while I am on vacation.  Also, I was featured on the La Coco Bella blog earlier this week.  See my feature as the Girl Behind the Curl, here.
I hope you all had a great week and enjoy and even better weekend.

I Think This Makes Me Official....

If you follow me on instagram then you know that late last week I received my very first business cards.  I love them in every way and think they are the perfect representation of me and my blog, simple and chic.  I found this company moo.com from a fellow blogger and the moment I saw her cards I wanted to get some for my blog.  The site is super easy to navigate and I received my cards within a week and half of ordering them.
As promised for those of you that want to try them for free, they do come with a little moo.com stamp on the side, click here.  If you want cards without the extra moo advertising click HERE, 10% discount will be taken from your order.

I am featured on the Feisty House blog today, YAY!  To see my picks for the top 5 fashion items that describe my personal style click here.

Baby Wedge....

I don't wear flats too often because well, who doesn't love an elongated leg?  There are times, though, that wearing flats are a must.  I recently came across this great option, the baby wedge, and it gives your leg a little lift but has the comfort of a flat.  The cute buckle detail doesn't hurt either.

Style Tip:  I love sky high heels, however there are times when its ok to wear something a little shorter.  There are some great cute AND comfortable options out there.  I am now a new fan of the baby wedge.
