Happy Tuesday! Hope all of you had a fabulous Valentine's and President's Weekend! I am sitting here writing this blog and watching the Grammy's swooning over all the gorgeous dresses. I have to be honest, I am not a big Taylor Swift fan, but damn that red bandeau and a high-waisted hot pink slit skirt and metallic strappy sandals..just killed the red carpet! I also loved Carrie Underwood's textured black number and Zuri Hall's sparkly plunging sheer number with geometric details!

I recently got this lace bustier and I seriously don't want to take it off. Little peek of lace can add so much sex-appeal to a simple white tee. It's the little details that count (in life and in fashion)! Unfortunately this exact bustier is sold out but you can put yourself on a waitlist here, and I linked some similar bustiers here (only $24!), here, and here (only $24, and great under sheer tops). Let me know if you have any great suggestions for lacey bustiers/bralettes! I can never have enough!

Peek of Lace

Happy Monday! Today is actually my 'Sunday' per say so I actually do LOVE Mondays. It's a day I get to catch up on house chores, take blog pictures, and basically reorganize my life for the week. A few people emailed me asking if I was going to do a Valentine's post (I still can't believe Valentine's Day is already sneaking up on us), but I thought I would share this V-Day inspired outfit.

Wear Your Heart...literally! Isn't this cute little heart-shaped bag perfect for the occasion? But I think these OTK make the outfit. This outfit is sexy but comfy and all sorts of textures and mix. Might be a little much, but my style is kind of all over the place. I always see these "monochrome" feeds on Instagram and I wonder how they keep their life so 'clean' and all 'black & white'! I mean don't get me wrong, there is beauty in black and white / monochrome but life is FULL of color and I LOVE embracing that!

Wear Your Heart on Valentine's Day

Clutch | Magenta Dress (size up!) | Suede Jacket | Hat | Platform Sandals (size down if you're half size)

Happy Friday! This week has been a total success. I am usually NOT a morning person but I have been waking up these past 4 days with so much energy. I got my workout done, made green smoothies, showered, answered emails, got ready, and made lunch for work all by 11AM. I love starting my day feeling so accomplished but some mornings I can barely even move my hands until I down 3 cups of black brew. Well here's to this week and hoping the next will be amazing as well!

This is my second bag from GAIA FOR WOMEN, and I seriously can't get enough of this geometric, mixed-media statement clutch. GAIA creations are constructed by the skilled hands of refugee women creating a new life for herself in the U.S. using vintage, repurposed, and sustainable materials. I love mixing and maxing texture so I paired it with my oh-so-fab green fur vest (which is 50% OFF). I have owned this vest for a year and still am not sick of it! In fact, I love it more and more. The length and color is perfection. These booties as I mentioned in this post here, are versatile and comfy!

Mix and Max Textures

So, I always written these blog posts but I am always wondering if people are even reading it. I am going on a different approach from now on out and write as if nobody's reading - kind of referencing "dance like nobody's watching" (not sure if I can apply to writing but what the heck). Instead of writing a bunch of nothing, I am going to start blogging about the pros & cons (if any) of each item I am wearing.

Let's start with this colorblock sweater. I love the slouchy fit and the deep side slit which allows easy tucking into a high-waisted skirt like the one I am wearing here. I would recommend sizing up for this skirt if you have a bigger waist and as you can see it is a bit short so if you're not into showing off them stems, it's not for you. And if you love a Chloe but can't afford it, this bag is a great dupe. Now last but not least, these booties!!! I am totally obsessed! Few reasons: the square toe shape, tortoise shell heel details, fits like a glove, and I can attest it is super comfortable and the leather is super soft and easy to keep clean! Fits true to size and goes with pretty much everything! I would definitely recommend these booties to everyone who loves quality shoes! I'm impressed!

Colorblocking

Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort was a recommendation from a friend - and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. We went in snow-covered January, so the cozy log cabin style and resort amenities were perfect for a winter getaway. It isn't right in the town of Leavenworth, but close enough that you can give downtown Leavenworth the half-day trip it merits, but you're not suck in the middle of the tourist trap. Instead you'll get to experience the beautiful cabin-like rooms that are situated in quads out among the trees on their sprawling site. Drive a little further down Icicle Creek and you can get to some of the best hiking and snowshoeing in Washington. It was so beautiful walking along the hotel paths with all the snow. One of the best parts was the outdoor hot tub! It was among the rocks by the spa.

The room was nice and rustic looking to fit the location. Note that this is not a luxurious, plush resort which pampers its guests. It is a eco-friendly, artistically well-designed experience which we found quite satisfying. Loved the loft space and all the wood used in the construction. Little trials connected all the different buildings. It was a real winter wonderland experience.

The meals are great, the crackling of the wood burning in the stone fireplace adds a calming white noise at the Kingfisher Restaurant & Wine Bar. It is served buffet style so try to pace yourself ;) It offers great variety for people with food allergies, vegetarians, and regular meat-eaters.

Gorgeous location, comfortable cabins, and good food-what more could you want? How about a 25% discount? Get 25% off the room rate of the Great Escape package for Friday stays this month, January 15, 22, 29. Just need to call Sleeping Lady and mention my blog, Gypsy Tan to claim the discount!

Thank you Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort for hosting me. All opinions are 100% honest & completely my own of course.

The first thing you'll notice is that this is a really sexy mini-bag. But did you know it's a Camera Bag? So excited to introduct to you The Colt, my newest camera bag from THEIT. I was able to carry around my camera all weekend without looking like a total dork! It's not only functional but compliments our lifestyle. Who wants to lug around an ugly black nylon bag anyways? Certainly not us fashion bloggers!
