Pink + Paisley

{dress: lulu's | blazer: forever 21 (similar) | necklace: bauble bar | booties: forever 21 (similar)}

I've had this blazer for quite awhile, but I've only ever worn it once! The bright color and the length are challenging for me! I don't wear a lot of pink, so I was a little clueless about what to pair this with, and because I'm fairly short, this longer, mid-thigh length makes me feel even shorter when paired with the wrong proportions!

Still, I think these pieces worked well together! I picked up on the hints of pink in this bright paisley print dress, and then topped it with this statement necklace. This necklace may have been a bit much on top of the pop of color and busy print, and truth be told, the tortoise shell was a bit less obvious and matter than I expected, but I think it was a fun touch.

How do you incorporate pops of color into your looks?

Always Leopard. Leopard Always.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: leopard goes with everything. It is the new neutral. It is my favorite neutral, and this is quickly becoming my favorite cardigan. I gave you a little double dose on animal print here. I love an animal print. [It's late, and I'm feeling repetitive. Leopard. Animal print.]

P.S. No one need comment on my posture in these photos. Just go with it. I'm a rag doll.

Celeb Style - My Way: Olivia Palermo

When I saw this double denim look on Olivia, I loved it immediately! I was afraid of denim-on-denim for awhile, after thoroughly abusing the trend in the late '90s. Now that it's back in full effect, I love to try out the look in different ways! (Truth be told, the top I'm wearing in this outfit isn't really denim - it's actually a very soft, cotton shirt in a blue jean shade.) I put together a few looks to inspire you all to wear double denim!

What's your favorite way to wear denim on denim?

Girly/Boy-y

I love the juxtaposition of menswear details with super feminine ones. Aka menswear oxfords, cargo pants, and an oversized watch with a light knit and frilly sheer blouse. Oh, and a pink geode necklace. But who doesn't love a geode?

Bye-Bye, Palm Springs!

Bye-Bye, Movie Colony Hotel! I threw on my favorite denim dress for a delicious brunch at Trio and the easy drive home. We had such a lovely, relaxing time with delish meals and mommy-daughter bonding time. It was wonderful! I'm ready for the next mother-daughter vacay!

This was my first FULL DAY multi-outing post-surgery! I spent the afternoon at an Angel game with my dad (check out my hideous farmer's tan!), came home for a couple hours to rest a bit, and went out to a lovely little wine bar in Brea for my friends Sarah & Dan's engagement party. I got this dress on sale from Shop Bop with a gift certificate I won from Chasing Davies! It is so soft & silky, delicate & girly, and the soft peaches & pinks feel perfect for summertime!

I was house sitting last weekend and managed to take these photos by myself with my self-timer! I'm pretty impressed by my half-balanced on a stair step without a tripod skills. (Never mind that I had to take 30 photos to get these 4 good ones. At least I got the 4!)

I wore this to a dinner party celebrating some friends' recent engagements! This dress is another gem I found at Target recently. I saw it and immediately wanted to go on an African Safari. Not a nitty-gritty African Safari, though, more of a Real Housewives of Atlanta African Safari whilst wearing Louboutins. If I had Louboutins. You get the drill.

Announcement: By the time you read this, I should be in or just out of surgery. I am having a septotomy (getting my deviated septum corrected) and tonsillectomy. I'm a longtime sufferer of stuffed noses, restricted breathing, headaches, and excruciating sore throats, and hopefully this will help with all of that! I am going to be down and out for awhile (approximately 10 days, hopefully less, but maybe more), but I've got a couple of posts scheduled for you in the upcoming days! Think: outfit ideas, beauty, blogger features, & a giveaway! Keep checking back to The Daily Dani to see what I've prepared for you while I'm recovering!
