Chop Chop

This is the last shoot of me with my longish bob because today I cropped it all off into a pixie! Not quite as short as Carey Mulligan but definitely inspired by her as well as Michelle Williams' new cut she debuted at Cannes. Not that it matters in these photos anyways since you can't see my head! I promise to have photies soon.

I've been living in these slim cut cargos by Armani Exchange. Never thought I would put on another pair of army green cargos after my college years but with the tapered cuff leg, they are a different breed from the sloppy version of the late 90's/early 2000's.

Looking at the tiniest bit of sun peeking through these pics is making me a sad given the miserable weather we've had. On the bright side, the rain is reminding me of my mini Tofino getaway. My friends Allie and Allan were also in Tofino so we had a chance to hang out. We went to the Spotted Bear Bistro for dinner and then I hit the water with them for some evening surf with my brand new board. I had so much fun, and I'm so glad we got to spend some time together.

Can a piece of coral...

...really inspire a whole outfit?

In this case, the answer is overwhelmingly, YES.

Ever since I got this remade vintage coral ring from my momma, I can't stop crushing on all things coral. The ring is even extra special because the coral was originally one half of an earring mom wore on her wedding day. My sister-in-law has the other half, made into an identical ring surrounded by white and yellow tiny diamonds.

I wore this same dress earlier in the week to JK Model's Anniversary Party held at the upscale LEONE boutique. It was a fun night hanging out with some local bloggers, including Kelsey of The Anthology, Nicole of Le Mode Du Jour, Aces, Nikki of A Haute Mess, Olivia of Stylestruck, Lisa of Solo Lisa, Raul of Hummingbird604, and Erin of Haus of Hybrid.
