Island Style

What I wore: Snakeskin pants

I just love how these pants go from basic to bad-ass with texture. Snakeskin is so sexy.... you gotta have the cojones to wear this look though.

I wore this pant with a nude vest, and nothing else. I'm a tall girl; one statement piece per outfit is all I need. I've been spending lots of time in bed- because I was unwell, and I started reading books from my bookshelf that hadn't seen the light of day in years. I love the smell of the pages- a kindle really doesn't come close!

This book: And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie, is a timeless classic in the genre of murder mysteries (is there such a thing?). I have had this book since I was a little girl, and no matter how many times I read it, I feel like I'm seeing something  for the first time. I'm trying to learn about character development, and books like these ones highlight how important the little details are when you are fleshing out a plot.

You're never too old to learn!

Beaded tee-H&M... pardon the "no-foundation face"..LOL

.... so I've been busy, and a bit out of sorts..... hence the lack of posts. Christmas is usually hectic for me between the start of the hotel season and getting stock and staff ready for Christmas at The Little Starfish. I'll be back to it as of today- as promised on fb the "non-frontation" post will be up before the weekend, and I have a few outfit posts to share.

Speak soon

Raspberry Beret

 

... the kind you find in a second-hand store... I'm sorry for anyone who gets stuck humming that song for the rest of the day. Send me the bill.

Soooooo- this outfit. One thing I have always known about myself is that I love shiny things. So one day when rumaging through the sale bin I saw this beret and convinced one of my girlfriends to buy it for me. It's been taunting me from the top of my closet for three months. Until I finally gave it to it and plopped it on my head. It photographed much more like a GRAPE than a raspberry- but hey- whatever works!

Celebrate the things that make you the individual that you are. It's easy sometimes to copy what others are wearing and doing- but they are essentially "doing them"- and you should "do you".

I wear the pants in this relationship,buddy!

Lately, I'm hating anything restrictive.... no spandex, no lycra, nothing that does not breathe. It is so insufferably H.O.T - even at night. I'm trying to figure out how to put holes in anything to fight the humidity. My hair has also quit trying to fight the heat so most days its a mess of frizz on my head- not a good feeling.... at all.
