Fashion Friday: Wanelo, NastyGal, Sherway Gardens winners

Been loving a couple online shops lately. I don’t buy as much in real life as I do in my dreams but I like the ideas they give  me to spice up my existing wardrobe.  This image is from the Wanelo email. Wanelo is “a way to find unique products and stores you have never heard of.” I’ve been drooling a bit, figured I should share! I hate the emails from Nasty Gal, they read my mind and know exactly what I want/am wearing. The ads follow me around online, taunting me with things they know I want. JERKS! These emails are what made me cave and buy a few pairs of Jeffrey Campbell shoes. Everything they send out is so nice and they have a monthly lookbook. I think I have all these outfits on some vintage variation. I love Jane Fonda in this Pucci Pre-Fall outfit. My fav collections are Cruise & Pre-Fall almost every year. One day I’ll have a boat and get to wear the cruise collections. Until then, I’ll settle for Mum’s boat and her vintages. 😉 Some wisdom shared by two of my fav fashion blogging ladies, Gala Darling, a Kiwi blogger living in NY and Gala Gonzales, an It Girl from Spain, living in London who travels the world for fashion. I partied with Gonzales in NZ at Fashion Week once. They’re both awesome girls you should know. Follow G.Darling and G.Gonzales. On this day last year I arrived in Pensicola, Florida for work. We stayed in Margaritaville. It was beauuuuuutiful! Planking was a thing at the time and I tried to create a new trend ‘mermaiding’, it never picked up. See some pix here. There were over twenty entries for the Sherway Gardens Spring Style contest and the winner is… VANESSA GRILLONE. Thank you…

counting sheep in my sleep

Remember the awesome Margaritaville Hotel I stayed in last week? My pix were featured on Au Lit Fine Linens in the ‘Beautiful Beds’ post today. They have some very beautiful linens & I really hope to get some for my big bed. Ahh, sleep sounds so good right now. Ok. Epic Meal Time!

some people claim that there’s a woman to blame…

But I know…. this Margaritaville place is PRETTY AWESOME. My office is here till Saturday. Chantelle too. Roof pool beside the ocean. You can hate me now, but I won’t stop now. Our room is gorgeous… …and beach front. Mural wall with waves & beach on it. Photos on that baby tomorrow. I am so excited to be here. Today I had fried green tomatoes! And obvs a couple of these babies 😉 Shower to the left is big, open & glass. Copy of this in every room. TOLD YOU I WAS A MERMAID. SUN LOVE.
