I know a few posts back I talked about how pink was not a part of my wardrobe and this romper may have changed that. When Atlanta based owner of Funky Flair Boutique contacted me about picking my own piece from the store I was excited. There was much to choose from but everything was unique. This romper caught my eye with it's front facing zipper and billowly slits on the back.

I can tell you that this piece is very light wieght and silky soft. One thing I look for in jumpsuits is breathability (if thats even a word) and opaqueness. I mean if its all-in-one I want to be as comfortable as possible. This piece has both and I happy to welcome it into my closet. Maybe more pink will follow.

*This item was gifted. No monetary exchange was given to present this item.*

Let me start by saying there is nothing misfortunate about this jacket! I am absolutely smitten with this bomber and apparently several passerbys and store clerks were too.

I received this little gem in the mail after Sammy Dress contacted a few weeks ago. I've had the pleasure of browsing their site prior so I was excited that someone there had found the blog. I went through tons of items -- Sammy Dress is a online store with thousands of items for insanely good prices -- and finally decided on this amazing sequined bomber.

When it got to my doorstep I immediately tried it on and fell in love! You would think something with this much embellishment would weigh you down but this bomber does just the opposite. It's light weight yet it holds all the structure.. The inside of it is comfortable as well. I don't know what's on the inside but it makes wearing it itch and chaff free.

 This will definitely come in handy this spring. I have so many ideas for styling it for upcoming post. Definitely stay tuned for more of this bomber and check out Sammy Dress for cool pieces!

I know I mentioned before on Roses are Red that I would be submitting to a lovely little site called Zuri Mayhem. So I thought I'd share with you more links and let you know what is going on over there. It's run by a gorgeous fashionista by the name Deana Nunuz. It's so much fun creating content for a site other than my own and I would love it if my lovely readers skipped on over there and took a look. Dont be afriad to check out the rest of ZM as well. You wont regret it!

All of the pictures provided are of course found on my instagram. So follow me there and then check back on ZM for a special recap every week. You can find Deana on instagram under ZMLV and follow her on twitter@Z_Mayhem. She post great stuff on both networks!

Just a quick post before bed. Today was the hottest and the longest day  I have ever experienced. It was so hot that the shade was worse than out in the sun. I felt like a snowball in the middle of July. Seriously what is this?! You would think those of us here in southern California would be use to the weather changes (or at least the ones that are above 78 degrees) but we aren't. We whine about the fall being to cold so we wish for summer and then when it gets a little hot we disown the sun and wish for the opportunity to layer our clothing.

This is what i wore today. I kept it light weight with these pants and a loose top as you can probably tell.

I have officially finished my first week of classes (of my third year god im a junior now) and I have to say I am not sure how I feel. My teachers have gotten into the swing of things this week. And I thank the stars above that they are doing so because I am not a big fan of the "Hi my name is ___ and I chose my major because..." Yeah just not my thing. So the fact that I have homework is sad but relieving at the same time. But as this is the lasts week of summer I am trying to enjoy the little things before school starts to kick my ass and i start complaining about how I don't have time to post and have not worn anything but my university sweater and how have been trapped in the campus library lol. Here are some photos from my week.

Monday: Out to eat with the boy for a date night. Where he taught me about the rules of football while we watched a game on the television in the restaurant. As usual his burger had all the works and mine was as simple as it gets (cheese, lettuce and pickles).


We took dorky couple pictures after eating

During the week: Buying books from the bookstore, riding the bus, playing with the effects on the camera on my phone.

So it has been 5 days since I have moved into the apartment. And like most college students living in a fresh apartment I am sans internet. Luckily there is a Starbucks right next door that I make my post on for now. Hopefully by next week I will have wireless in the apartment and I can get back to commenting and posting regularly. And since the apartment isn't furnished yet I'll leave you with some photos from my empty living room.

Oh and I want to thank you guys so much for your support with the Bloggers Wardrobe competition. The next round is coming up and i would love it if you guys would bear with me and help with supporting my blogs with votes and such. I do the blogging for the readers so  improving it with the opportunity the outcome from winning would be awesome.

I was recently contacted by The Fresh Air Fund about their wonderful program. It’s allows families to open up their home to children (age 6 to 18) from New York City during the summer. Founded in l877, families have been opening up their hearts and giving inner city children the chance to have a memorable summer.



The Fresh Air Children stay with the families or attend the Fresh Air camp on 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York  for two weeks and experience the the country side and do things they normally wouldn't be able to in an apartment in the city. More than 1.7 million New York City children from disadvantaged communities have been apart of this program. And not only have the children gained from the experience but the hosting families have as well. As a result more than 65% of the children who participate are invited back year after year.



The Fresh Air Fund is looking for families from 1 of 13 Northeastern states from Virginia to Maine and Canada to partake in this experience this summer. You can also request the age-group and gender of the child. The program is non-profit and there is no financial requirement  for those interested. If you or anyone you know are interested in signing up for the summer 2011 you can do so now by visiting the website.
