OOTD: Transitions

Hello friends and happy Thursday!  I hope everyone has been having a fabulous week since my last post.  I know I have!  I have been all over the place really.  Between work, shenanigans in Seattle, and overnight trips to Ellensburg, I have been doing it all!  As I stated in my most recent post: SPONTANEITY is key!!  On another note, one of my favorite things about summer is the sun! (obviously...)  But what I love so much about the sun is what it does to my hair.  If you were to look at my past posts, you will notice how vivid and red my hair used to be.  This was before the sun had the chance to fill my locks with its rays of lusciousness.  I now have the most delightful natural highlights to add to my already existing balayage and frankly, I am living for it right now!  You can only get this look in the summer and It will sadly go away when I redye my hair back to the red.

Anywho...  This is a look i wore a few days ago when having a ladies day with my best friend Laura and my mom.  We did what girls do best... Shopping! I wanted to be simple yet comfortable for walking around so I threw on a dress which is a statement in itself, some ankle booties, and a neutral leather purse.  I polished the look off with a mauve lip and white rimmed aviators. (I always think they make me look kind of bad ass ha!)  I just recently put in a large order to Free People so stay tuned for a Clothing Haul!  Oh! And don't forget to enjoy some tea.  A Starbucks shaken passion green tea lemonade is my drink of the summer! what's yours??

With Love,
             Traci Lee

Guest Threads: Sisterly Love

Hello friends! TGIF!  I apologize for my ridiculously long hiatus.  Life has kept me incredibly busy and on my toes lately.  That is one of my favorite things about life.  You can never truly plan on anything and it is always throwing you for a loop.  Spontaneity: this is my word of the summer  and the philosophy has been treating me quite well.  Frankly, I do not know what to do with all the lemonade from the lemons life has given me lately!  All I can say is do what is best for you, and do what makes you happy! Be happy, be healthy, and live your life =]

Now that i have gotten that out of my system, I have a new guest threads for you!  Meet my big sister, Stephanie! Stephanie is 24 years old and is one of my best friends.  Now, we may be sisters, but our styles could not be more different!  I would consider Stephanie's style to be preppy glam.  She is Kate Spade meets J Crew.  She loves to mix prints and patterns and is never afraid to accessorize.  If you look at her closet, you will see nothing but vivid hues, and vibrant jewelry.  Take a look and enjoy her style!

OOTD: Wedding Bells

Happy Saturday friends!  I am in very high spirits because I just arrived home from an incredible wedding!  Luckily, the lightning storms held off long enough for a ceremony full of sunshine and celebration.  I am a hopeless romantic and am absolutely obsessed with weddings!  It is so uplifting to see two people that love each other so much that they want to share their partnership with their family and friends.  Anywho, the wedding theme was Garden Party so everyone was instructed to wear something 'festive and bright',  So I felt that that my new cobalt Anthropologie dress was perfect for the occasion.  It is simple yet has details that make it stand out among the rest.  I curled my hair and put it into a low chignon and kept my accessories to a minimum. I wanted my look to be simple and fresh, and it helped that the corsage I was given contrasted perfectly against the blue of the dress.  They day, and the wedding was perfect.  Stay Posted!

With Love,
             Traci Lee

OOTD: Lighten Up

Good evening!  Today was my big sister's 24th birthday! Naturally, we had to dress up for the occasion.  I recently splurged at Anthropologie and bought some white pants!  I am usually against purchasing white pants because they are just going to get dirty the moment you put them on.  However, I got them for an incredibly reasonable price so I decided to take a leap of faith.  I felt like rocking some pastels so I wore my mint peplum top, detailed wedges, and my new brown leather bag.  I biggest hope is that it would not make my awful sunburn more prominent.  Word of advice:  have sunscreen handy at all times!  That is all, stay posted!

With Love,
        Traci Lee

OOTD: On a Whim

Happy Monday!  It's been a busy past few days between work, and visiting old high school friends.  Finally, I have a chance to post!  Today I did some errands with my mom, so I put on a simple frock that was easy to throw on.  This romper from Anthropologie is one of the newest additions to my closet.  It is flirty, fun, and has low back.  I paired it with bright jewel tones to contrast against the black.  I kept it simple since I only had a few minutes to get ready, but I got quite a few compliments on my romper!  Stay posted for more!

With Love,
             Traci Lee
