Here's my 2nd look from Sint Maarten. It's a nice dining or going-out look and was surprisingly more comfy than it may seem. You feel really skinny being hugged by the bandage dress! I also loved how the orange stands out against the colors of the sea.


My hair is now long enough to put into a top bun! Yay! I'm still trying to figure out the mysteries of the chignon. Maybe someday I'll learn.


White or silver themed jewels kept things nice and cool.




I really like the stripe going down the back of this dress... it makes people who don't have a booty, like me, look like they actually have some type of shape. It's all a trick, wahaha!


And of course, my recent fave heels from ALDO.

Sorry that my shopping widget is kind of lame today; I couldn't find my items anywhere. But here are some wonderful alternative items!

We spent a week in St. Maarten! It was very hot and muggy, so sleeveless + loose clothing was a must.


I went a little WILD with the big cat-themed jewelry! You can be wild about everything on vacation, right?


I got these shoes at ALDO one day on a mad sale! The heels are not too terribly high, but they still look rich and elegant. I like that.


Sometimes island bed hair is the best... I didn't do one thing to my hair today except flip it to the side. I also paired these fun aviators to complement my FIERCE look.


My sister sweetly bought these dainty earrings for me when she visited the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. It's my fave museum in London, so it was very kind of her to get me something from there. I wore them to match the red on my jaguar's tongue!


We stayed at a resort with the ocean on one side and the Marina on the other. So fun! It was sure risky to walk on this pier with my heels. The space between the boards were wider than my heel width. :O


Look at these houses on the hill! I was super creepy and took pics of my fave. Next time, I'll upload the ocean view pics. St Maarten really is the friendly island. No-one there seemed stressed at all.

Here are some similar styles you might want to check out.

It's almost St. P's Day so I had to choose green, but I also wanted to feature this supercool gun bag I just bought! It seemed like the only common denominator would be "Boondock Saints." Hence the title. My brain is amazing.

I think ruched details can look old style very quickly if you're not careful. But I think this sophisticated pattern def. passed the test! I paired my festive green with good old Leprechaun-approved gold.


On to the main event, this extremely cool gun bag / clutch. Is it really possible for Julie to see such a thing and not own it? I don't think so.


And then, just an easy nude wedge pump just to avoid being too matchy-matchy with the blacks. Someday I wish I could graduate to a fancier nude pump, but my odd feet size (I must be like 7.75) makes it almost impossible to find something that my feet won't pop out of. Oh well. I'll keep looking.


Hope you enjoyed my fash! Be safe on St. Patrick's Day and don't start any fights!

This wonderfully warm and puffy dress is a rental from Le Tote, the Netflix of clothes! I don't remember how I ever lived without this glorious service before. You can safely try out styles that you wouldn't normally be bold enough to buy. You might just find a new style that suits you! Le Tote is $50/mo for unlimited rentals and no contract, so you should just try it now and tell me what you think.

You can't imagine how soft this dress is as it drapes all around! It's like wearing a fluffy onesie except it's socially acceptable. Yay!


And as ever, my wondrous Kate Spade bag is keeping me company. The subtle mocha color goes with anything... uahhh I love it so very much. Sorry I never have a pretty manicure because it's always going to get messed up by something (cleaning guns, cleaning car, or making artwork) so there's no point with me. This is my destiny and I must accept it. :(


Also, did you notice my hair is very long today? It's actually a fake hair that you can wrap around even the stubbiest of ponytails! I'd say the quality of this one is pretty good, though I'd try a less curly/puffy one next time. However at their economical price, they're worth exploring during the actual eternity it takes to grow your hair out. T.T
