Hi all! Long time no see… or talk.. or… well, you get the idea! I've been ultra-busy with my new job as a full-time 1st grade teacher. I'm still wearing my trademark girly outfits to work, but 5am is not a conducive wake time for blog photos! So for now…</div>

There comes a very sad time in every teacher's life where she has to say farewell to summer, on a yearly basis, and is bombarded by 2 weeks' worth of trainings, meetings, laminating, and bulletin boards. This time has come for me. Cue the tears and violins.</div>

I wore this Friday to a Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment induction, and then to a brief grade-level intro meeting. My first official full-time job has hit full-force… here goes nothing!</div>

…at least I can look cute while doing it? This blue and white top makes me feel really happy - it reminds me of Santorini or Capri, and has me clinging to daydreams of a European island vacation! A girl can dream, can't she?!</div>

Sometimes, in the blogging world, it's easy to get caught up comparing yourself to others, wondering why your success differs from theirs, and being consumed by how you can <i>change</i> your blog or your style to be <i>like them</i>. AERO NOW is inspiring me to try harder to embrace <i style="font-weight: bold;">being me</i>. I'm inspired to embrace my love for the casual, my body's natural ever-growing inclination to rebel against high heels, my fleeting obsession with Peter Pan collars and preppy attire paired with my ever-present obsession with boho vibes… Being Dani means being someone who is unique and proud of it, and AERO NOW is urging us all to be the best versions of ourselves. After all, everyone else is taken!</div>

AERO has some adorable pieces for summer right now, and I want them all!<b> // 1: </b>Everything about this mix of patterns is perfect to me! Can they make it in every silhouette possible, please? <b>// 2: </b>I am the proud owner of this black & cream number. Its colors are classic, but its print is bold, and I'm excited to style it! <b>// 3:</b> I know neon is over for some people, but when it's paired with gray and an easy chevron print & summer silhouette, if it still makes you smile, keep on keepin' on! <b>// 4:</b> Another beautiful print that I'd love to see on different silhouettes! <b>// 5:</b> I'm lucky enough to own these, too. The "flatform" style will be comfy and easy to wear, and these are just begging to be taken out on the town! The tropical print will help me pretend I'm still living the island life!</div>

So, Hawaii is beautiful. Sun, sand, surf, tropical scenery, beautifully warm… but it can get <i>super windy</i>. Taking outfit photos when you can't even stop the wind from blowing your clothes off (metaphorically - mostly…) is super difficult! Plus, my trusty photographer (thanks, mom!) can barely get a look at the viewfinder when her hair is blowing in her face, too! (100 bonus points if you're old enough to even know what a viewfinder is.) We did our best. ;)</div>

On Saturday, we took a little ride from where we are staying (Kihei) down to Lahaina… we walked around the shops (I got a vintage-inspired tourist-y Maui tee that I'm sure you'll be seeing here soon!), grabbed some Lappert's ice cream (a Hawaiin staple!), and basked in the shade of the 100 plus-year-old giant Banyan tree!</div>

I'm fairly certain the title of my post says it all. ;) I climbed into bushes to take these photos, and I'm glad I did, because it was quite the tropical background for my look today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent another day sunning myself beachfront, and then spent the rest of the afternoon developing my sunburn. (Yes, burn. My entire body is burned. I apply SPF 50 like it's my job, so this is quite the disappointment. I'll need to stay in the shade tomorrow!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a day in the sun, we drove to Lahaina for some delicious dinner (and malasadas - Portuguese donuts - for dessert) at <a href="http://www.starnoodle.com/">Star Noodle</a>!</div>

I'm in Hawaii for the next week on one of my wonderful mother-daughter trips, and I figured, if I don't share the absolutely beautiful scenery and vacation wardrobe with you all, I'd be committing a blogger crime! ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We arrived mid-afternoon Tuesday, settled in, and made sure to grab some Hawaiian-style shaved ice - I got passion fruit orange/guava/mango flavor over vanilla ice cream with fresh mochi! YUM! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent Wednesday sunning and reading by the pool, overlooking stunning Kihei Beach and Maalea Bay, and then went out for yummy Mai Tais and tasty Hawaiian gelato last night! (I got the "Sandy Beach" flavor - peanut butter gelato with coconut candy & graham cracker crumbs! Yummmm.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't wait to keep you all posted with my <i>resort wear </i>(haha), cloud photos, and tasty treats!</div>

<b><i>The time has come, the teacher said, to talk of many things:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Of sun and sand and beach and pool, and other summer-y things.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's right, kids, summer is officially well underway, and we have got to adjust our wardrobes accordingly. As an avid layer-er, summer gets tough for me, so I like to keep it fun with bold prints, accompanied by lightweight neutrals and bright accessories!</div>

I remember a couple years ago when <a href="http://www.dailydaniblog.com/search?q=maxi">maxis</a> were a "new" thing in casual wear. I thought - this is a boho-style summer trend that's going to burn out. Boy, was I wrong! Turns out, maxi skirts and dresses are becoming a near-timeless way to go relaxed or glam, all depending on cut, print, and accessories! Here are a few ways I'm loving maxi dresses for this summer season!</div>

Can you ever go wrong with classic black? A simple tank dress with a cinched waist is the perfect canvas for rich leather accessories and a gorgeous turquoise statement piece! (I am <i>dying</i> for these sandals, by the way!)</div>

Maxi dresses can go super-feminine, if you choose one in a beautiful floral! Keep your look light and airy with luxe gold and cream accessories, and you can take your maxi anywhere from a tea party to a garden wedding!</div>

I am a total sucker for bohemian prints, and a maxi dress is the perfect silhouette to rock your ikats! Gladiator sandals, a fun fringed bag, and bold statement jewelry are just the right compliments to a fun print.</div>

Remember <a href="http://www.dailydaniblog.com/2014/06/fridays-fancies-wedding-wear.html">last week</a> when I said mirror prints were popping up everywhere? Well, my wardrobe is no exception! When <a href="http://www.dxmall.com/">DX Mall</a> contacted me about a collaboration, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how many fun and affordable pieces they offer! From a nearly endless collection of dresses to fun accessories to an assortment of home goods, and everything in-between but the kitchen sink, you could spend hours browsing their website! It took a lot of perusing (my chest is a tough fit, so I had to check all of their measurements!), but when I saw this dress, I knew I had to have it! It's such a fun twist on a classic LBD!<br />
<br />
DX Mall has been kind enough to offer <b>FIVE</b> of my readers the opportunity to win any item up to $50 from their site! Use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple weekends ago, I had the pleasure of spending a full Saturday rejoicing with my wonderful friends! One of my best friends, Katelyn, is having a baby boy this summer, and her baby shower happened to be on the same day as another one of my friends, Sara's, wedding to her now-husband Taylor! Since I'd be driving from home, out to Glendora, up to Lake Arrowhead, and back, all in a matter of about 24 hours, I knew I needed to choose an outfit that could go from day to night, from the city to the mountains, and keep me comfy all at the same time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Ta-da! </i>This dress was the *ding ding ding* hands-down winner! The partially sheer bottom makes it great to go from sunny to sunset, the beautiful print is unique but versatile, and it was so easy-breezy to throw on and go! Truth be told: I recently got this on a shopping trip with 2 of my gal pals… I "wasn't going to buy anything," but when 2 of us saw this dress, we couldn't resist - and when our 3rd friend saw us both in the check-out line ready to buy it it, she couldn't resist either! (We are just asking for a "bitch stole my look" moment!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so happy for my beautiful friends, and I had a most amazing time from morning to night celebrating these lovely ladies!</div>

1. I have been looking for the perfect pair of brown shorts of an appropriate length for a year now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Remember <a href="http://www.dailydaniblog.com/2013/07/floral-chambray.html" target="_blank">this outfit</a> from last summer? It was envisioned as shorts… it took me a year to bring this outfit dream to fruition!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Apparently I am someone who wears shorts to work. (Trust me, I work in a very casual environment and even in shorts, I tend to be the most dressed-up person there…)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Apparently I also couldn't open up my eyes this morning… I'm not a morning person… You know that saying "But first, coffee?" Well, for me, it's more like, "But first, noon."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. These are my favorite shoes as of late, but they've basically become unwearable… just like <a href="http://www.dailydaniblog.com/2013/09/little-black-dress-dorsay-flats.html" target="_blank">another pair of d'orsay flats</a> I have, they are <i>so</i> stretched out they won't even stay on my feet! I have put 2 heel backs inside, but I'm not sure if that made it better or worse! Does anyone else have this problem with d'orsay flats?! HELP!</div>

On a recent trip to the mall (I kind of feel like an 11-year-old and/or <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY_bhVSGKEg" target="_blank">a Canadian pop star</a></i> saying I went on a trip to the mall), I kind of fell in love with the <a href="http://www.express.com/clothing/Women/Portofino+Shirts/cat/cat910002" target="_blank">Portofino blouses at Express</a>. They were on sale, so it's a wonder I didn't walk off with the entire collection of prints… I settled for a couple (and then a couple more online…), one being this perfect polka dot print! Then I found this denim pencil skirt in my mom's closet (everything old is new again!) and I had the perfect, teacher-y outfit to wear to work!<br />
<br />
Sure, this outfit may have looked a little more done-up and body-elongating with a pair of pointy-toed pumps, but you try wearing heels for 7+ hours while trying to corral 32 third graders…</div>

I'm kiiiind of obsessed with this shirt. The harder, more masculine edge of a short-sleeved chambray button down combined with the feminine touch of a Peter Pan collar? Perfection! I found that it was perfectly complimented by the most adorable bow flats, and also by my raging knee sunburn.</div>

<a href="http://www.dailydaniblog.com/2014/05/prep-with-punch.html" target="_blank">Remember when</a> I said I can't let go of that eclectic edge when I try on preppy style? Well, I guess I figured out exactly how to let it go! I went full-on prep, from the Peter Pan collar to the bow flats, right up to my side part. (Truth be told, the side part was accidental. I just woke up that way and was too tired to change it.) I am so loving this preppy vibe!</div>

I've been really into preppy style lately. (<a href="http://www.dailydaniblog.com/2014/05/peter-pan-collar.html" target="_blank">Peter Pan collars</a>, anyone?) Still, I can't quite bear to abandon the eclectic boho/rocker edge that always creeps its way into my wardrobe! That's why, when I found this perfect striped t-shirt dress, I couldn't resist pairing it with my versatile Petty booties and a rock-inspired statement necklace!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If you're looking for ways to combine a preppy meets feminine style with your already rock and bohemian-inspired pieces, here is some outfit inspiration for you!</div>

When I saw this blouse, I fell instantly in love with it! The print reminds me of some beautiful vintage china, a Grecian urn, and the sky blue/white color palette makes me long for a vacation on Capri or Santorini. A girl can dream, right?</div>

When I started this blog back in January of 2011, I was so excited to finally have an outlet for my creativity, and a cure for the fear of "wasting a good outfit on a boring day!" I never dreamed that blogging would lead me in so many positive directions, and allow me to cultivate my style to a whole new level!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always had a passion for fashion, and posting to The Daily Dani for the past 3+ years has only made that passion stronger! I have always been interested in being a stylist, and I think that my years sharing my fashion sense on this blog speaks as a portfolio to my talents! I am constantly engaged in contributing fashion advice via The Daily Dani, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/dailydaniblog/style-inspiration/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailydaniblog" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/dailydaniblog" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/dailydaniblog" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, and IRL (<i>In Real Life</i>), and I would love to branch out and extend those services to my readers, right here!</div>

I am slightly obsessed with Peter Pan collars right now. It's taken me awhile to embrace this trend for my body, because they usually accompany button-down blouses, which tend to gape at my chest. I was so stoked to find this flattering silhouette with a precious little ditsy floral print! I am now obsessed with finding more figure-flattering Peter Pan collars, and with upping the femininity in my style!<br />
<br />
I may have worn this to work in 6th grade on the windiest day of the year and had it almost blow up and flash some 12-year-olds about 50x. But I lucked out and kept it all under control. I may also have worn it again to dinner and shopping with my friend Sara. I may also have then worn it again to go to my friend Ashley's baby shower!

So, I tend not to get too personal on this little blog of mine, but something big has happened in my life recently, and I feel like it's something that is okay to share. Mid-March, we unexpectedly lost my sweet grandma just one week after her 91st birthday. My grandma was an extremely huge part of my life. She has lived less than a mile away from me for as long as I can remember. She was (and will always be) a strong, funny, spirited, and special part of my life. I know that I am so lucky to have had my grandma in my life for 27 years, but I can't believe she's gone. There is a missing piece in my life now, a missing piece of my heart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My grandma absolutely loved butterflies. She wore butterfly pins, butterfly earrings, butterfly necklaces, butterfly scarves… she had butterfly artwork, butterfly cards, <i>butterflies butterflies butterflies</i>. The day after my grandma passed away, we found an unseasonal butterfly in our backyard. We truly believe that this was a sign that my beloved grandma is watching over us. We texted some family members to let them know. My aunt and uncle happened to be working in their garden, and when we texted them, they replied that there was a butterfly with them in their garden, too. Next, my cousin replied - there was a butterfly with him and his daughters in their backyard, as well! A few days later we received a text from my cousin up in Portland - it took a few days, but a butterfly (grandma, of course) was finally paying her a visit! Every time I have seen a butterfly in my life, I have always thought of my grandma, and I know that for the rest of my life, the same will stay true.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I couldn't help but let my grandma and her love of butterflies inspire my fashion sense lately. I'd happily rock any of these lovely printed pieces to let my grandma's legacy live on! </div>

<b>Amber in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture: </b>I'm a huge fan of Amber Heard's <a href="http://www.dailydaniblog.com/2012/10/celeb-style-my-way-amber-heard-macys.html" target="_blank">street style</a>, and this time around, her red carpet style rocked, too! The pattern/beading on her dress was so intricate, so I liked that she kept her hair simple, and balanced her light gold dress with darker makeup.<b> // Victoria in Victoria Beckham: </b>Flawless. <b>// Leighton in Emilio Pucci: </b>Probably my #1 favorite of the evening! Gold, drapey, beaded, beautiful! <b>// Kate in Valentino: </b>I guess I was liking gold tones this year! The non-illusion "illusion" neckline is lovely, and the elaborate pattern is so unique!<br />

<b>Blake in Gucci: </b>I'm not usually a big formal cape fan, but this blush number is stunning. Blake did Old Hollywood right, from her silhouette to her hair to her gorgeous ruby red cocktail ring. <b>// Michelle in Louis Vuitton: </b>Oh, Michelle. I just love you. Feminine, original, and perfectly special.<b> // Emma in Thakoon: </b>Thank you, Emma, for giving us some color! Her cropped silhouette looks great, and I really like her strong brow! <b>// Chloe Grace in Chanel: </b>I feel like I should hate this, but I really like it. It's kind of prairie goes glam, and I'm into it.</div>

<b>Kristen in Alexander Wang: </b>Pants on the red carpet! Pants on the red carpet! Normally I might find something like this odd, but the all-black ensemble complimented by some subtle sparkle just works. I do wish she'd done her hair or makeup up a bit more, though. <b>// Jessica in Michael Kors: </b>I love a good print! This is much cuter than the piece Michael Kors dressed <a href="http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/met-gala-costume-institute-ball-2014/zoe-saldana-brings-her-style-2014-met-gala-1540489" target="_blank">Zoe Saldana</a> in, and Jessica Pare knows how to work a red carpet and a gorgeous frock! <b>// Lily in Chanel Couture: </b>This is both bold and subtle at once. A muted color palette and modest silhouette give way to a detailed pattern and ruffling technique! I love the touch of baby pink. <b>// Hailee in Prabal Gurung: </b>It appears that this little lady is all grown up! She looks stunning in white, and the black paneling does wonders for her figure! <b>/</b><b>/ Maggie in Zac Posen: </b>It's nice to see a Zac Posen frock that isn't an over-the-top, crisp satin prom dress. I really like this demure 50s silhouette.<br />

<b>Claire in Oscar de la Renta:</b> I'm a sucker for velvet, and for pink ball gown skirts!<b> </b>This combination is luxe, feminine, and fits like a glove! <b>// Dita in Zac Posen: </b>Homegirl sure knows how to rock an hourglass silhouette! Molded cups and this mermaid style are perfect for her! <b>// Reese in Stella McCartney: </b>More color! Thank goodness! This style feels like a departure for Reese, and it's a welcome one! Bold color, bold neckline, and beautiful as ever! <b>// Suki in Burberry: </b>This dress is pretty amazing. I wish she'd stuffed some chicken cutlets up top, but this heavenly ruffled skirt is very reminiscent of <a href="http://copykatie.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/mille-feuille/" target="_blank">Carrie Bradshaw's mille feuille</a>.</div>
