eastside westside

sometimes, on a photo shoot, it’s hard to decide which side of the street is the better location. some days the lighting dictates exactly where we need to shoot. but other days, like today, it’s a toss up. the white wall caught my eye first, but mr. style thought the red wall was the better option. which seems to be an all too typical scenario in our house. while mr. style and i have compatible ideologies we have very different approaches as to how to reach our life goals. sound familiar? but there’s always a give and take, a yin and a yang and after thirty-three years of negotiations, one of us will concede. but today, a perfect opportunity was handed to us to have our cake and eat it too! when does that ever happen? can you say once in a blue moon? when the photos were finally loaded, and we compared locations side-by-side it was hard to decide which side of the street was the better choice. guess what; we’ll leave it up to you lovely readers for the final vote. but i am loving my ootd today that’s a long over lean look. denim and khaki is a tried-and-true color combo, so it was only a matter of bringing in a pop of color and texture with my market-sized tote. a few key accessories that bring a southwest vibe and i’m set for another jam-packed summer day!

don’t forget that nordstrom’s legendary anniversary sale starts tomorrow. but if you want first dibs on the just-arrived sale items you need a nordstrom debit or credit card to gain early access july 14 – 21. click here for more details: nordstrom. i’ll share some of my top picks with you tomorrow. but if you’re like me and find the nearest nordstrom is an hour away don’t worry! this retail giant offers free shipping both ways. here’s a sneak peek at their catalog
