All kinds of blue

Since the air conditioner is off at work

from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm - due to power restrictions,

I chose to wear something light and breezy that

would help me make it through the day.

Chadwicks Dress - Zara blue mocassin flats -Straw bag

It's pretty bad.

Shiny faces, hair up, sticky clothes...

But this dressed served the purpose.

Luckily for me, we were sent home early and

I made it all the way to the mall by 2:00 pm.

And as I walked into the mall, it felt like a sauna.

Their air conditioner was also off :/

Power's Out

By now it should be rainy season where I live.

Dress Sandra Darren - Straw bag - Innovativi wedges

However there is no rainfall.

With all the new construction and buildings rising, we 

really cannot supply the electricity demand.

So the power's out ...

Just today I sat in my office 

(which has no windows that can be opened) 

sans air conditioner for 5 hours.

It was like a sauna.

Talk about third world problems...

The Skyline

My city's skyline seems to be growing by the minute.

Diane Von Fustenberg black dress - BCBG black shoes - Clutch

Unfortunately the growth is out of control.

Residential areas mixed with commercial,

and no laws seem to be in effect...

as much as I hate the consequences, I have to

admit that the skyline does look pretty cool.

Although I'd trade it for a forest in the blink of an eye.

Dandelion

I enjoy being in contact with nature.

Beige shorts Levis - White button down shirt -
White flip flops Grendha - Panama hat

I like to explore my surroundings, look at

insects, birds and plants.

When something calls my attention, I record it

and later on just look it up.

This weekend I saw several dandelions in the backyard.

Picked one and the small feather like pieces started to float in the air.

Never had I wondered what the dandelion was...

So as soon as I got home I googled it :)
Not only is it medicinal but the feathery phase is just
the seed dispersal part of a small yellow flower.

The nail cuff

 

It was back in the December 2012 In Style Edition that I

saw the nail cuff.

 

 

I have to admit it was love at first sight.

As much as I love the original piece, my budget did not-

so I looked for something similar on line and

purchased a silver nail cuff via Ebay.

 I am not pro knock offs and this cuff does is not marked with 

the brand name although I have to admit that it

does look a lot like the original piece.

 

Now, after I hunted it down for weeks,

I have mixed feelings on it...

 

 



Neon Night

Although it may not appear - due to the bad lighting

and my unskilled photographer ;) ... my top is actually neon.

White jeans Polo Ralph Lauren - Neon top H&M -
Blue wedges BCBG - Blue bag Zara

I am not sure if the neon trend is passé or not,

regardless of that -  it's just a top I like.

Do you wear things only when the are "in" ? or 

because you like them ?

Tiny Sunnies

I love big framed sunglasses
and wear them most of the time.

White jeans Polo Ralph Lauren - White t shirt -
Black wedges Kenneth Cole Reaction - Black zipper jacket Go by Target

Today I decided to change it up a bit

and wear a pair of tiny round sunglasses

from Esprit I've had forever.

 

 

In fact I have had these sunglasses for

years and had never worn them.

 

 

While I don't mind these, my mind is actually set on

a pair of huge round Tom Ford sunnies... or at least a twin brother ;)
