Casual Friday and Saturday at the Salon

It's getting soooo hot here now that jeans are nearly unbearable! So yesterday I opted for the jean skirt option, which is totally fine for my office, but I'm not sure how appropriate this would be for casual friday in other offices.

Here's a close-up of my earrings.


And my sunnies! Fabulous sunnies are a necessity on island. For one, it's so bright that you literally cannot drive or see without them! Second, UV protection for your eyes is VERY important!!!

A Gray Kind of Day

Today it was a little cooler than it has been for the last couple of weeks, which made me so happy! Not only was it not unbearably hot, but I also got to wear a cardi!!!

Tuesday Blues

Hubby made a comment yesterday that since I got a Coach bag for Christmas, I should consider getting rid of my other bags! SHOCKING!!! So I showed him by changing my bag today and actually wearing some of the accessories he keeps urging me to get rid of! And I had fun doing something different with my hair, opting for messy waves, which I like and think I might do more often. Unfortunately, I was in such a rush to get out the door this morning that I didn't take much care with the photos so they're a little fuzzy and bright.


I love this bag that I got last year! It's a great big comfy bag that's perfect for adding a POP of color to an outfit!

A close-up of one of my favorite new accessories! Every girl should have a boho turquoise necklace in her wardrobe!

Close-up of my bangles. These came in a set with a bunch of others, but I like to mix things up a bit.

And a horrible photo of my favorite shoes ever! These hardly ever leave my closet, but when they do, they make me smile! These shoes literally put some Spring in my step!

A Pencil Skirt and Stilettos Kind of Day

This morning I felt a little unpretty so I decided it was a skirt and heels kind of day! And I pulled out all the stops with a girly, poofy-sleeved cardigan for good measure!

And I wore my favorite blingin earrings for that extra sparkle!

And some girly heels to pull it all together!

Casual Friday and Lazy Saturday

Yesterday I went to work for the last day of a very hard week! After pulling several late nights, I decided to keep it super casual, which is kind of okay at my office for me, though I still have to be chic about it since it is a professional environment and my boss is of the old school English suit and tie variety. I opted for a sparkly tee, jean skirt and sky high platforms! I put on the glasses to give my weary eyes a rest and appear more "serious" peering from behind my cubicle! I'll try to post a better photo of my new glasses soon. Speaking of which, please excuse the poor quality of the photos from my Blackberry while I try to figure out a way to get clearer pictures.

A close-up of my shoes. Love these!!!

Today however is a totally different story! I am usually an early riser, even on the weekends. I rolled out of bed around 7:45 this morning. For me, that's sleeping in!!! On the weekends, I love to grab breakfast and caffeine in the coffee shop and I practically move in, bringing the essentials from my home office so I can catch up on reading blogs and posting.

Cayman is super conservative, especially Monday through Friday, but come Saturday, conservative wear becomes super casual and the beachy scene of the island comes out! This is pretty much my Saturday morning uniform and always with a messy ponytail!
