What I'm Wearing:
H&M dress, Topshop Knee Socks & Oxford Flats, Necklaces: Vintage

Well, my life has been rather tumultous to say the least. I have been up, down...and pretty much all around in terms of emotions. Buttt....good news: I am going on a road trip across Spain tomorrow morning, will be back Wednesday. I am ready to get away, get back my clear perspective and finally get some amazing photographs. Afterwards, I am heading to a place of strong sun: Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. Catching up on my work, white sands and crystal waters....along with an abundance of bohemian, hippie-inspired outfits will be the main components of this trip. I am especially looking forward to sunsets on the beach, watching the sun fade away with Beyonce in my ears (couldn't live without my i-pod).

Yesterday, I was at the mall, enthusiastically grabbing bikinis to try on for my upcoming beach bonanza. Between stores I needed a beverage break, so I wandered over to the Juice Bar that I have been drinking fruit at religiously for years and years. You can imagine the dissapointment and surprised sadness I felt when I found it stripped bare and bordered up. The dire economy is not only decreasing my job prospectus, its has even managed to kill off one of my most loved traditions: breaking from shopping with a big bowl of watermelon juice. Sigh...

Has anyone seen Blake Lively's dog? Its a tiny teacup maltipoo, weighs about two pounds and literally looks like a teddy-bear. I usually hate small dogs, but this breed has pulled at my heartstrings and now I am hell bent on buying myself one.

Love this look - it's so classic but with a modern twist. I love the socks with the dress. I wore a similar outfit the other day but haven't got around to posting it yet.

You're off to have an amazing time in the sun chilling out. . .
I'm off to crawl around in mud with cadets on camp. . . No fashion there!

Have fun babe :)
I'm afraid I still haven't sent you the article. . .lack of A4 envelopes at home and wasn't able to stop by the post office before leaving home.
I PROMISE I'll do it next Saturday!
