Sunshine Renewal

Well, I am finally back from a 12 day vacation spent in Naples, Florida... and oh was it nice. More to come on this later in the week as I continue what I have been referring to as a bit of a "personal transformation" (sometimes you just need to get a way and take a closer look at things).... a lot of reflecting and renewing occured during my trip which I think comes naturally with the sound of the ocean, the viewing of a sunet, and some time spent alone with my lovely fiance & inspiring mom. I am attempting to carry this process on through this week to continue to clear my mind although this week's process includes a 3 day juice fast/cleanse which I am learning is quite challenging the first time...1 1/2 days down - just waiting for the "boost of energy" they claim kicks in with a cleanse! I felt a detox was much needed in my life though and I'll be sure to give an overview once I am finished- a tip I learned first hand today: do NOT watch the Food Network while attempting one of these, its a real slap across the face...

While I didn't do too much during my trip (and loved it), there were a couple nights of going out to great dinners with my fiance for the first half of the trip. These outfit pictures were based around all of the loooovely VogueVert pieces that I am wearing....I cannot get enough of these eco-friendly items. If you haven't done so already, be sure to head over to VV here and check out the amazing collections!

So happy to be back to blogging ...I didn't have much internet access on my trip which turned out to be a good thing :) .....happy Tuesday!!!

WILD over WILDFOX

I n L O V E with the fun, playful, care-free vibe of WILDFOX COUTURE clothing line. This dress (named the "poolside dress") is one of my favorite pieces that I have worn lately.

The Navajo print combined with the flirtatious cut of the dress made for the perfect outfit to wear on a Summer night out. With the price point beginning around $60 and not reaching past $150, Wildfox tops, dresses, skirts, and hoodies make for a no-brainer purchase...if this is up your style alley, that is. As for me, this is completely on track with my style, so it is inevitably a coveted line of mine. Shop the collection HERE.
Hoping this Tuesday finds everyone all smiles after a long holiday weekend!

VOGUE VERT

CONSCIOUS LUXURY...."Going green never looked so good."

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with Kathy Hamm, founder of the "green" online store (so perfectly named) Vogue Vert. Within minutes of talking with Kathy, I had a strong sense of the passion she has for this great venture she has recently undertaken. She lights up when she talks about the direction she hopes for her eco-conscious online site to go...as well as when I compliment her insanely cool handbag. This handbag, I might add, was made completely out of reused scraps of leather which gave this large hobo piece a fringe look to die for... I have yet to get that bag out of my mind. Kathy's handbag gives a vivid idea of what her online store is all about: unique,striking, high-quality design presented in handbags and accesories, all crafted through eco-conscious methods. And after speaking with Kathy, when it comes to ensuring that these pieces truly come from "green" materials and approaches, trust me- she does her research. The following is a deeper glimpse into Kathy's beliefs and inspriation that led her to create Vogue Vert:
