What I’m Wearing–Floral Kimono

Jul 22

Good morning! I hope you’re all having a great week so far. I’m hoping to get out to the pool today to get some much needed vitamin D. Kimonos are huge this year and it looks like they’re not going away anytime soon. I prefer the longer style, usually with fringe, but found this bright and cheery shorter version at Forever 21 and love it. I pretty much buy anything that is coral colored, so I had to have this with the pops of my favorite color. Thoughts? What are you up to today?

Good Morning...it seems a bit superficial to be posting about my outfit when I found out yesterday that my student who I mentioned is on life support. I understand life must go on and all things happen for a reason, God has a plan, but my poor students are devastated and I'm extremely torn up. Nnamdi is a wonderful young man with a bright future … (Continue Reading)

Whimsical Kristen Wiig

The August issue of Elle Magazine is almost out (July 22) and I'm in love with these whimsical looking photos of actress Kristen Wiig.
