things to celebrate (and be grateful for!)

1. Joined the gym a couple weeks ago.
    It's been a lot of fun going to classes and a great way to release stress. I'm grateful for my health and ability to pay $40 a month!!!

2. Having awesome friends to go to Vegas with.
Sounds easy, sounds ordinary.. but when I think about it, a stress-free, drama-free, and laughter-filled trip with friends is the best thing I could ask for! Wouldn't you agree?

3. Having awesome sponsors like Wild Doll!
They have been so good to me and I am a lucky doll for having them as a sponsor!!!
check out those shoes I just got!! IN LOVE!

4. Living a short drive away from the beach where it's always sunny!
This is when I am so grateful about living in So.Cal! Thankful for our location & beautiful little house.

5. Taking a trip to San Diego for my birthday!
Although getting older is not the best of things, I'm still glad we get to go on lovely trips every so often.
The highlight of the trip definitely was the Safari park. I highly recommend it!!!

6. Having reached 100 BLOG FOLLOWERS!!!
Thank you guys!!! Planning on a big 100 followers Giveaway soon... stay tuned :)

7. August 18th marked 10 YEARS IN THE STATES for moi!
Yep! Since I moved here from Japan... 
I miss my family every day, but it has been a fantastic 10 years.
Especially since I met the man of my dreams.


Last but not least...

3 ways to style a Wild Doll Romper

So here is one of my newest sponsor Wild Doll's Blue Crochet Bottom Romper (which also comes in cream and taupe). I am a sucker for rompers and this is a new favorite of mine!

Today, I'll be showing a few different ways you can style a romper like this!

Here I am wearing it simply with some nude pumps:

shoes: GoJane

Added a black bow belt and black bow boots to match that

boots: Nine West, belt: Japan

I probably need a necklace too !!!

let's take it up a notch! 

hat & vest: Japan

and if you want it a little more casual but still interesting...

shoes: Threadsence, hat: Japan, denim shirt: Cotton On

So as you can see, it's pretty versatile! I love how you can make it look casual, but also dressy!

You could definitely try out different belts, and substitute a plain black vest for the plaid one I wore, wear knee high boots (which I unfortunately don't own), and so on and so on :)

The top part is a very soft material, there is a zipper along the side so no worries of stretching anything when you're putting it on! Check out their shop for other cute rompers, shoes, and dresses!!!

Have you guys heard of  Wild Doll?

They are a new online boutique with trendy & girly items for GREAT prices...
Not only do they have clothes but they also have shoes and accessories also!
Those jeggings you see above would be so perfect for the summer, don't you think?
Which one is your favorite?

If you think you're gonna be too hot in them (in both ways lol), then check out the shorts they have in the same or similar colors!

I'm also in love with this dress also available in a gorgeous blue color:

and this ROMPER! yes, that's right, it's a one-piece!! isn't it SO adorable??

And this awesome romper!!! LOVE IT! (Can you tell I love rompers?) I'd love to add it to my collection of rompers! :) Do you like the blue or brown better?

                      

And these "scalloped booties" !! They'd be perfect with denim shorts and a simple shirt, or even a floral dress.

What do you think??
Right now, if you buy any pair of shoes, you get 50% OFF any piece of clothing or accessory!!!

I could stare at their stuff all day... lol
