I promise there is Vegas post to come! I just thought I would share my new favorite jeans (I bought them in both colors!). They look very much like the current elliot ones for a fraction of the cost, thank you very much Target. They are super comfy and seem to go with everything I own. The leopard obsession continues.

New Style Post: Inspired

Finally, another style post! Due to my Husband's schedule I have not had a photographer lately for any outfit pictures. I asked him if he would be willing to get up a little early on some days to take my pics and he agreed! Three cheers for Hubby being a trooper!

Anyways, one of my favorite blogs, Ascot Friday, had a post on tonal dressing and I had to attempt a copy. Here is my version of it. Laura's style is simply inspiring and her blog is a daily must read. Thanks for the inspiration Laura!

Back to blogging and back from Big Sur

Campsite 21 at Kirk Creek Campground

Wow, where have I been? I'll tell you. Starting a little bloggity blog for work. A little thing called www.modernshopgirl.com has eaten up all my creativity and time. But now that things have finally mellowed out, I'm back in the saddle. Summer is over. To prove it here are some pics from our last vacation of the season.
Husband and I cruised up to beautiful Big Sur with one of our favorite couples, Brett and Cara. We had 4 relaxing days of exploring, hiking, sunsets, and good talks around the campfire. It was truly unforgettable and a great way to say good bye to summer.

No cell service in Big Sur

It's ok to still look cute while roughing it.

Style Post: Shedding the Layers

Lace Bandeau via Ebay

Shorts by Prvcy via Rebel

Sandals by Sam Edelman via Nordstrom (I know I have a serious problem with Sam Edelman)

Living so close to the beach Bobby and I try to take full advantage of all it has to offer. Whenever we get a chance we take a morning walk down to the pier to enjoy a coffee and watch the local surfers. This last week was so wonderfully warm (it reach over 85 in SB!) I was able to throw on a tank, shorts, and sandals for our early morning walk. Sometimes I like my outfits best when I don't think about them. I try to keep it simple and comfortable, which was a lot harder to do when it was freezing out! I'm definitely ready to shed the layers and enjoy the warm weather of summer.
