heat wave

Trying to stay cool - it's in the 90's today! I'm wearing a new full mini. This has to be my favorite silhouette as it accentuates my waist and hips. It's the perfect shape for those  of us who aren't blessed with full curves. :) 
I love the chic white on black color blocking and the fabric has just a touch of sheen which adds some glam.  I paired it with a simple cream lace tee and accessorized with touches of natural leather - I found this toned down the look just enough for the day. 

In other exciting news, I recently wrote a piece for a new online fashion magazine called I Like What You're Wearing. The online mag has a unique edge - you can buy right off the editorial pages. It's an absolute dream! Also, the editorials feature rising designers, so you're bound to stumble upon something new. :)
You can check out the magazine right here and my article, "In the Know" here.

hope your week is great. 
thanks for the visit.
