Packing for Procrastinators

I'll be honest, I don't pack for anything until the night before or day of my trip.  I have always been like that, but since getting older and having a much larger range of wardrobe options to choose from I've in the past few years written out a "Pack List" with the basic necessities and think on it for a few days to determine which shirts, dresses and shoes I'll be cramming into my suitcase.

Five pairs of shoes for a three day vacation, sounds about right.  No matter how long the trip I inevitably fill my suitcase to the brim, never fails.  Oh, and the palm trees are just to make you jealous.

DIY: Embellished Sunnies

I've never been one who invests in expensive sunglasses, I've always found I'm too paranoid I'll drop them, scratch them, break them, lose them, etc... This weekend I picked up this pair from H&M for a staggering $8 and thought I could make them just a tad bit more special after seeing these and these.

Bad hair, don't care.  One trip to Michael's, 10 minutes and these bad boys are on my must-pack list for my Miami.  The Boyfriend's verdict is still out, but I just think he's a little jel.

South Beach

Counting down for the boyfriend and I's mini-vacay to Miami next week.  Stay tuned to see how I pack for trips and how I plan on fitting all my bikinis in my carry-on.

Rolling with the Homies

Trina Turk Blazer (old), Etsy Tee, AG Boyfriend Jeans (old but Similar here), Ray-Ban Sunnies, Prabal Gurung for Target Heels

Spring has officially sprung down South and I refuse to believe neon is a trend of the past.  A great perk of no longer living in the city means Target collaborations of epic proportions are available without long lines, potential cat fights or waiting for online purchases to finally arrive at my doorstep.  I saw these heels when his lookbook first came out, knew they had to be mine and have since been incorporating them into every spring outfit I own now that the weather is up to reasonable temperatures.

Created Equal

I decided to show my support of the upcoming decision the Supreme Court is making as best I know how, through sartorial choices.  Street Style over the past few seasons has exploded, with photographers such as Tommy Ton capturing some pretty epic looks during fashion week's around the world.  These are a few he's taken I've found particularly inspiring based on the above color-scheme.

And between you and me, as someone who has worked in the events industry, gay men have the absolute BEST taste when it comes to planning their wedding.  Hands. Down.

Added Inches

Studded Sneakers

Wedged sneakers became popular just as we saw summer coming to an end last year, and it is of my belief that they'll be back in full force come warmer weather.  With that in mind, I am craving stark white kicks with interesting details, and a few added inches in a secret wedge is nothing but an improvement in my opinion to an otherwise standard sneaker.

Nike Dunk Sky High

Ash Stud High Tops

With cut-off jean shorts, an epic tan and strawberry banana smoothie in my hand it's the perfect summer vision.  So I'm pretty sure these are one of this seasons must buys.  My boyfriend would totally agree I need yet another pair of shoes too...

Better, Faster, Blonder

ASOS Leather Cap

It happened.  The other day we got our first glimpse at Spring.  Stark white legs saw the sun for the first time in months and my cars sunroof was finally utilized and rejoiced over more than you know.  I also decided it was the time to go a little blonder.  I don't know if it was the brief glimpse of the weather to come, that I've been back in the south now for a few months or just a desire to start Spring off right but I am kind of obsessed with my new locks along with several of this seasons trends.

ASOS Piccolo Wedges

Theory Dress

Zara Embroidered Shorts

Leather done in unexpected ways, lucite-heeled anything, black and white together and last but not least textured/patterned shorts.  Also, these which you've already seen here and which I have already professed my undying love for.  If any of you need a suggestion on birthday presents, well those Brian Atwood's are at the tippy top of my list (obvi...)
