My love affair with tulle goes all the way back to my baby days when my mother would doll me up in baby petticoats along with matching hair bows.

Not much has change and it’s safe to say that I love the fabric and I haven’t met a tulle skirt yet that wasn’t worthy of being worn.

The thing I love most about tulle is the instant romantic fairytale-esque, princess vibes.

Two weekends ago I visited my friends in West Palm Beach for a quick getaway.  So Flo stays hot and the trick about style and dress in these parts is too look like you’re on a permanent vacation.  Done and done.

Initially I’ve stayed away from the bare shoulder trend because I loath wearing a strapless bra but I’ve fallen in love with it’s relaxed, effortless feminine charm.

I’ve opted to wear a strapless bra with this number but you can also wear a regular bra with straps and just tuck the straps down so you don’t see them.

Do you think I went a little overboard with the lemon theme in this look?

Yeah.  Me neither.

Honestly, how could you not want all the lemons in the lemon universe in one outfit?!

I first saw my friend the dress version of this lemon print and I immediately went to buy it for myself but unfortunately it was sold out online and in-store.

They only had the skirt available online and I quickly added it to my shopping cart and waited the torturous 3-5 business days until it arrived for it to only hang lonely in my closet.

I’m an old vintage soul.  As much as I love the benefits that comes along with the modern technology of the 21st century, I will never stop loving how people took their time to do something right in the past.  

Simple things like handwritten letters or the fact that men and women wore dresses, gloves and suits during the day just because!  

Give me the days of drive-in movie theater dates and when courtship meant wearing your beau’s letter-man jacket and pin.

One trend that is making a big splash this summer is off-the-shoulder tops and dresses.  I love seeing the modest amount of bare skin with a beautiful ruffled neckline but it’s been tough trying to find the right one that works for my body type.  

I don’t really like to show off my shoulders because I have indentations on them from bra straps being well endowed in the chest area.

Nevertheless, I was determined to find a happy medium where I could wear the trend and still be comfortable in my own skin.

New York — The city that never sleeps and the city that I always get lost in.  Metaphorically and literally.

As much as I love this city I can never seem to get a handle on it.  No matter how many times I go I always feel like I’m upside down and get lost on the subway and spend a ridiculous amount of money on ubers and taxis trying to get home.

It’s amazing how a plain basic pocket tee can get a major upgrade with a few pretty little additions from the accessories department. 

A plain pocket tea can be the great foundation of an outfit.  You can dress it down easily but make it fancy with just as much ease.  It’s all in the details and this tulle skirt doesn’t hurt either.

I piled on the costume jewelry and glitzy sequined shoes to take this look from just pretty to pretty fancy.

When I was in LA back in September I stopped by LACMA to shoot in front of the famous Urban Light exhibit.  

The artist, Chris Burden originally hails from my hometown of Boston, Massachusetts and the famous lamps are actually 202 restored antique street lamp posts from the 1920s-30s that he collected over a period of 7 years.

Ever since it’s installation back in 2008, Urban Light has become a popular landmark for photographers, tourists and bloggers alike, including yours truly.
