So Hot…Literally.

Happy Tuesday!

I am sitting here, anticipating my Fall wardrobe…what pieces do I really want, when can I start tucking my jeans into my boots….but I’m SO HOT. I can’t even think about what to wear tomorrow because all I want to wear is a bikini and some Hawaiian Tropic, and float around with Just a Small Town Girl at Mandalay’s pool with a pina colada in my hand in Vegas (I’m coming!). Was that the longest sentence ever? Ok, good.
I don’t like spending too much on summer clothes…even in Cali, where the weather is usually so nice, I live for chilly nights, layering, etc. It’s way easier to be Badass in the Fall and Winter, right? I am going to love NYC! But I digress..I found this adorable dress while perusing the latest Lucky, and have two shoe options…favorites Havainas or Choos! And then my hair…oh it’s been chillin in a loose bun…
Dress-Necessary Objects $68 -love the pockets and the plaid.

Havaianas $13.50 on sale at Saks

Well, or some Choos...also at Saks

Throw the weave up and go…blowdrying is so unnecessary and painful… :)

Summer. Done and Done. Fall fashion, call me…I miss you.

My first video blog will be….The Smoky Eye! Quickly followed by the red lip. I’m really excited to do these and hopefully I won’t be too much of a spaz on camera!
In other exciting make-up news, my girl Hanako66 at Through The Looking Glass is SO INCREDIBLE and if you’ve been reading her blog, you know she’s been single handedly planning a huge Great Gatsby themed wedding next month for her friend, it’s going to be so amazing. And I am doing the make-up! I am so excited to spend a day with one of my favorite bloggy buddies turned real life friend forevah…
I love blogging. I love you guys. Have a great day! XOXO, Liz
(Both shoes available on saks.com…blogger was being a little jerk.) :)

Did I say how much i love your hair?
Well, I do, i love your hair! How do you manage to get so much volume in it?

8 Aritza, Goddess of .. July 14, 2009 at 3:17 am

I totally agree, it's so much easier to be bad ass when you can layer things :) and add scarves (oh, scarves!).
Hopefully, when you get to NYC, you'll have all the "cold" weather you need to enjoy fall fashion at its best !
Can't wait to see your video & also, congrats on the wedding gig :) I know you'll do a gorgeous job !!

9 HoneyBunny July 14, 2009 at 3:52 am

Oh I love those wedges! And I can't wait to see the videos!:)
I recently discovered I can't dress for summer anymore:P as it's my 3rd year in Scotland and you don;t get to much summer here;))
I've also been so busy recently, cause I started teaching English to a bunch of preschoolers;))
And how are you my darling? :) :****

10 Anna July 14, 2009 at 3:56 am

I love that dress!

11 Keith July 14, 2009 at 4:29 am

13 Ela July 14, 2009 at 4:45 am

I don't know what hot is right now, but that's OK, it's not super cold so I'll take it :) Love the Choo's and the loose bun!
Can't wait to see the smokey eye video, woot!!! You're going to be fabulous – I can feel it!
Thx for the sweet comments on my hair :) xx

14 Shopaholic July 14, 2009 at 5:04 am

Well, you'd love it here in the UK, today it is supposedly the middle of our summer, but it is rainy and chilly! but strangely when I left for work this morning it was warm and sunny…
Yay for smokey eye, I will try it on my next night out (after watching your vid I must add) x

15 Brown Girl July 14, 2009 at 5:30 am

That hair is super cute, it is crazy hot here! It was 105 yesterday!! I need to see some videos with brown girl eye makeup!! ;)

16 LiLu July 14, 2009 at 5:34 am

Blogger IS a little jerk. You need to drop that shiz and come over to the dark side!

17 brooke July 14, 2009 at 5:48 am

18 Jill Pilgrim July 14, 2009 at 5:52 am

Love the dress! And I cannot wait for your vlog! I love a smokey eye (and a red lip, and makeup in general, so basically you're my hero)!

19 Allison July 14, 2009 at 6:11 am

I love, love, love plaid and I just think you're going to look gorgeousss with that outfit (whether you go with Havianas or Choos)! The summer nights here are still pretty cool sometimes – so layering can be a necessity, but I guess I always took that for granted and longed for fabulous California weather :) Enjoy your Tuesday, dear!

20 Ashley Ederington July 14, 2009 at 6:15 am

no baby yet!

let me tell you something about hot, it has been 100 and 101 the last three days here, with no relief.

21 ♥Aubrey July 14, 2009 at 6:29 am

Plaid me baby…i want it! No justin boots for this dress :( LOL

22 Yamila July 14, 2009 at 6:34 am

26 Dream Sequins July 14, 2009 at 6:51 am

Me too on the summer wardrobe– been buying a lot of filmy dresses on sale for the hot months. Oh, princess. When you move here, you will HATE the steamy summers. Humidity = frizzy hair. UGH. I can't wait to see pictures of the Gatsby extravaganza. xoxo

27 Mrs EyeCanSee July 14, 2009 at 6:58 am

Yay for smokey eyes! Good choice!

Love the dress….pockets and dresses are always fun. And those choos. Drool.

28 Anika July 14, 2009 at 7:07 am

Ooh, I like the dress with the Choos. And that dress is luuuvvvverrly. Want :)

Our winter is slowly fading away and I'm not yet ready for it to happen. Not yet 35 plus degree celcius days dammit. Still want to wear boots!

Congrats on doing makeup for the wedding as well :)

29 Annie July 14, 2009 at 7:25 am

YAY for the wedding and tutorials because I so need help with the smokey eye:)

(I was thinking about doing a wedding post today so this is perfect timing:)

31 Melissa July 14, 2009 at 7:43 am

Very summer dress. Thin and light, perfect for the crazy heat we have been having. I covet those jimmy choos.

38 RCaitlin July 14, 2009 at 8:27 am

I know what you mean about layering, it makes an outfit so much more edgy! I love that dress though! I think it would look amazing on you!

39 Diana July 14, 2009 at 9:18 am

40 Couture Carrie July 14, 2009 at 9:37 am

41 lisa July 14, 2009 at 10:07 am

I like the wedges, and I definitely agree with you–simple is best in hot weather!

Can't wait to see pictures of your handiwork from Hanako66's wedding. :-)

42 Chessa! July 14, 2009 at 10:08 am

I wish it would get unbearably hot here…I've never longed for a heat wave more than now…usually I complain about them but the weather has been so unseasonably cool in NYC that I just want a really hot summer day. then again, I LOVE fall so much…and you will LOVE fall in NYC. :)

43 kathleen July 14, 2009 at 10:25 am

YES, YES, YES!! I'm sooooo excited! We're going to float around and be fabulous. I can't wait!! I'll call you a little later! Xoxo!!

It is smoking hot in the Northern CA valley, too! Oh mannn… Fall, where are you?

52 Delectable Swank July 14, 2009 at 12:08 pm

I love your hair up in an easy/messy bun, I wish I could do that with my hair but it never looks that good! Maybe it's the fact that my hair looks like a freaky asian afro half the time… LOL. YAY, I am glad you are doing both makeup demonstrations, I'll be looking forward to them!

53 Kellie July 14, 2009 at 1:13 pm

I live for summer and fall. But I live in MN and winter is the longest. Boo!!! That dress is super cute! I love the pockets.

And please tell me how you get your messy buns to look so perfect. Mine always look like a bad birds nest. ;)

54 TheBeautyFile July 14, 2009 at 1:33 pm

That's a REALLY good deal on the Havs…gonna check it out right now…also, can you do a tutorial on the weave? I am so curious on how to do the do and make it look "beweavable"! Like my pun??

55 Lady Stardust July 14, 2009 at 2:22 pm

56 Gabbi July 14, 2009 at 2:48 pm

I love fall attire also, but I'm still enjoying the shorts and flip flops and the loveliness of cool showers and I also adore having longer days… don't want it to pass too soon! :) But I am really looking looking forward to your videos… the smokey eye one especially. Eye makeup is so hard for me…

57 Alianna July 14, 2009 at 3:17 pm

Love the dress!!! I guess I have a thing for plaid. The Choos are to die for as well.

*Sigh* I wish it was warm here too…

58 Damsels July 14, 2009 at 4:24 pm

63 E July 14, 2009 at 5:33 pm

A Great Gatsby wedding?? Sounds incredible! And so is your hair! So jealous!

64 Allison July 14, 2009 at 7:11 pm

I'm flying you in for my wedding to do my makeup. Don't worry though because you probably have fifteen years to prepare.

65 Awesome Sara July 14, 2009 at 7:31 pm

66 Kristin July 14, 2009 at 7:33 pm

My post tomorrow is focusing on why I am SO ready for fall, but that sweet little number is making me less angry about the Florida heat. : )

67 saralovesshoes July 14, 2009 at 7:47 pm

Glad you found me, hence me finding you! Your blog is fabulous!

72 Confessionelle July 15, 2009 at 11:07 am

You are so cute anticipating your Fall Wardrobe!!! :-D Thanks for the welcome back, NYC was so much fun, I just wished I had more time to shop!! I just know NY is hurting for my money to stimulate their economy!! When I make a trip there again, it will be strictly for shopping!! I bought so much stuff I had to FedEx two packages to myself back home. NY surely stimulated my love for fashion and clothing all over again!!!! I think you will love it especially since I heard you were looking to move over there. Hope you are having some good luck!!

73 dapper kid July 15, 2009 at 3:20 pm

That dress is so beautiful and I LOVE the Jimmy Choo wedges!! Oooh and the wedding sounds utterly fabulous.

74 tanya July 15, 2009 at 6:18 pm

those Choos are to die for…YUM :-) I love that you're doing the smoky eye (and a quick red lip) Yaaaayyyyy!!! that is super exciting about hanako66 and the makeup gig–how cool is that? brought together by bloggin'–LOVE IT.
P.S miss you! I've been painfully and slowly transferring my blog to my own domain and it's taken me away temporarily from the blogging world. UGH. will update soon :-)

75 Jaime July 16, 2009 at 4:07 pm

I am in love with the dress! And the heels!
I have a new url for my blog, http://jaimehungry.blogspot.com please re-follow…or whatev b/c I think the link will be lost now. Thanks!

76 K @ Blog Goggles July 17, 2009 at 1:05 am
