Ok, so maybe it's not a secret, but I'm giving you all a great tip this week. When you are going on vacation, expecially a place that is requiring of bikinis and short dresses, I highly recommend that you get a spray tan.
As many of you know, or if you don't know, you can tell by simply looking a picture of me, I am extremely fair skinned. I'm not into tanning and definitely not into risking my health for a glow. But when it got closer and closer to my trip to Vegas, I decided that I wanted to look hot and be tan.
I had gotten a spray tan before, however, the ones I got were in those rooms that you have to hold your breath in for what seems like forever. I had asked around the office and found a salon by me that did airbrush spray tanning. I was scared, but intrigued, so I decided to check it out.
I made my appointment and 40 mins. later, I was golden and beautiful, without having to do any damage to my skin. The next day, when I was able to shower, I revealed a fun and sexy glow. I didn't realize that being tan would make me feel more confident and beautiful, but it totally did. And if I have 1 piece of advice for all of you that have just as white of skin as me, get an airbrush spray tan before you vacation, you'll be glad you did!
Bonus-I was able to wear white shorts, something I would've never been able to do before. Wee!

Found an amazing shirt while in Hong Kong and had to share it with you all. This is totally something you can re-create though if you don't happen to make it to the Hong Kong airport anytime soon.
The cool thing about this top is that there are buttons and button holes all along the seams so that you can create a bunch of different looks. I love the vest option, buttoning at the top and draping over my arms. You can also wear it as a poncho this way as well.
Some other options are a reverse poncho, buttoning in the back. You can also wrap around your neck like a scarf. So many options and possibilities.
Here is the top in a lay down shot. Buttons are on opposite sides as well as button holes. I think this is key in making all of the different looks as well. Hope you all enjoyed and are inspired to sew on some buttons and play around!
