Here’s another of my early spring (backlogged) outfits. Even though this was worn a few months ago, it could still work now. Our weather has been weird this spring, and instead of nonstop warm sunny days, we’ve been getting a lot of cooler overcast days. It’s starting to make me crazy cause it’s nearly June and my swimming pool is like ice! I’m hoping things heat up soon because I love to swim. It’s very therapeutic for me so I’m counting down the days.

Off Duty Style + Personal Update
I’m sure some of you have noticed that I haven’t blogged in like a million years…(i.e. since February). The truth is, something traumatic happened in mid February that sent me into a temporary (but very intense) depression. For several months I cried myself to sleep at night and woke up every morning with a feeling of hopelessness. Now in mid May, I’m feeling decidedly better. I’m still not my former carefree self, but (fingers crossed) I’m on my way. Since I have some energy back, I realize how much I’ve missed blogging, and I happen to have a small backlog of looks that were shot right before things got crazy. This look was shot on a casual Sunday, while hanging out with my friend/assistant/fellow blogger Jessica.
Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspo Lookbook
Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and I know most people make plans for the occasion, I wanted to offer three different perspectives on potential outfit combos. These looks work whether for a first date, dinner with your longtime significant other, or even a girls’ night celebration. Which one would you go for? I guess it depends on the venue, and of course your personal preferences. I have plans for dinner with my hubby, and will likely opt for something along the lines of the “fun & flirty” floral dress. Though honestly, I LOVE all these looks!!

OTK Boots In Action
OTK Boot Obsession
I am seriously obsessed with boots. Living in So Cal, where the weather is warm most of the year, I don’t get to wear them as much as I’d like…but when winter rolls around I pretty much ignore all my other shoes. Our coldest months tend to be January and February, so now is my time to make the most of it. Being short, I own a lot of ankle boots (or booties) that fit more like shoes and don’t cut my leg in an awkward place. I do struggle more with mid-calf styles. However, I absolutely LOVE over-the-knee boots. My obsession with OTK boots began several years back, when they first started trending really hard. I loved the badass vibe they evoked, but wasn’t so sure that they’d work for me given my height. Shopping online, I spotted a pair from Report that looked totally rock-and-roll (and way more expensive than they actually were), so I took the risk and ordered them. It was probably one of the best purchases I ever made, as I couldn’t love those boots more (pictured below). I even wore them when I competed on air for the title of Macy’s Next Style Star!
