I wish I could say the same about my photo shoot yesterday. <strong>Have you ever had one of those days where the elements just didn’t seem to be working with you?</strong> Well, I had such a day yesterday where everything from the wind to the sun just refused to cooperate. I don’t even know how I was able to come up with a few decent photos to share with you.</p> <p>I’m obsessed with these <a title="Forever 21 Faux Leather Pointed Loafers in Rose Gold" href="http://rstyle.me/n/vngd2bc35f" target="_blank">Forever 21 loafers</a>. <span id="more-6583"></span>Thanks to my IG friends for convincing me to get them. The rose gold color is so pretty. I wish the color would have translated better in these pictures but you can always stop by a F21 store and see for yourself. This geometrical eyelet top is one of my favorite finds from J.Crew. I featured it once before <a title="J.Crew eyelet top" href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/2014/06/09/outfit-highlight-playing-with-shapes-and-patterns/">here</a>. It’s the perfect top for spring and summer.</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7908r21.jpg"> <span class="pibfi_pinterest "> <img decoding="async"

But let’s be honest for a minute, feet do get sweaty and when there is no protection between your feet and the shoes, after a while, you may need to break out the Lysol. <a title="Kushyfoot.com" href="http://www.kushyfoot.com" target="_blank">Kushyfoot®</a> couldn’t have come to me at a better time. I was so excited to learn that they offer <a title="Kushyfoot low cue foot covers" href="http://www.kushyfoot.com/products/foot-covers-extreme-low-cut-lace.aspx" target="_blank">low cut foot covers</a>. I’ve had issues with foot covers, or footies, before where I could see part of it peeking out of my flats or slip-ons. The extreme low cut foot covers that <a title="Kushyfoot.com" href="http://www.kushyfoot.com" target="_blank">Kushyfoot®</a> offers stays hidden at all times while providing the protection that you need.</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_8000r1.jpg"> <span class="pibfi_pinterest "> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6581 size-large" src="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_8000r1-1024x723.jpg" alt="white jeans, Forever 21 rose gold loafers, spring colors, Kushyfoot, low cut foot covers" width="560" height="395" srcset="https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_8000r1-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_8000r1-200x141.jpg 200w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_8000r1-300x212.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px" /> <span class="xc_pin" onclick="pin_this(event, 'http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://myrosecoloredshades.com/2015/04/13/outfit-highlight-spring-casual/&media=http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_8000r1-1024x723.jpg&description=Outfit Highlight: Spring Casual')"> </span> </span> </a></p> <p>I also love their <a title="Kushfoot Flats to Go" href="http://www.kushyfoot.com/category/flats-to-go-shoes.aspx" target="_blank">Flats to Go<sup>®</sup></a>.

Temperatures were in the 30s and 40s this past weekend. Who’s surprised? Noboby! Needless to say, I’m not too excited about the weather but I am ecstatic about my <a title="Forever 21 Textured Longline Coat" href="http://rstyle.me/n/s6665bc35f" target="_blank">pink coat</a> and <a title="Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody" href="http://rstyle.me/n/ybmp8bc35f" target="_blank">Rebecca Minkoff bag</a>. These are two items that I’ve been wanting to add to my wardrobe for a while.</p> <p>Besides the fact that I’m crushing on anything pink these days, I always find myself swooning over pink coats and jackets whenever I see them, but I’ve been telling myself that they’re impractical. When I saw this coat on clearance at Forever 21, I had no more excuses. The price was right, it was just the right shade of pink and light enough for chilly spring days. I just love the softness that it adds to this monochrome outfit.<span id="more-6318"></span></p> <p>I was waiting for this <a title="Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody" href="http://rstyle.me/n/ybmp8bc35f" target="_blank">Rebecca Minkoff crossbody</a>, that many a blogger has featured on their blog, to go on sale and when it finally did, I pounced. Now if I can only add the Chanel boy bag to my wardrobe. Sigh. As much as I want one, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to spend that much money on a bag. But if it happens to come in the form of a gift, I won’t refuse!</p> <p><strong>PS.</strong> I wanted to send a big thank you to Jen of Fashionably Employed for featuring me on her <a title="Sophisticated Style Spotlight" href="http://www.fashionablyemployed.com/2015/03/sophisticated-style-spotlight-my-rose.html" target="_blank">Sophisticated Style Spotlight</a> series.

I decided to feature a red, white and blue outfit today, not only because it happens to be Memorial Day but because it truly is one of my favorite color combinations. I bought this J.Crew eyelet skirt last year and didn’t get to wear it much. I thought it would be interesting to do an eyelet on eyelet pairing. Somehow, because of the contrasting colors and eyelet variations of the skirt and top, it didn’t feel overwhelming. I finished the look with pops of red, including red lipstick.</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_0305rev1.jpg"> <span class="pibfi_pinterest "> <img

As the weather gets warmer, there is nothing more satisfying than a refreshing summer salad, especially when they’re super easy to make. These are not really fancy recipes with complex dressings. The ingredients are minimal and the simple seasoning only works to enhance the flavor of the fresh greens, fruits and legumes.

I make this salad fairly often and it’s perfect just the way it is with no modifications.</p> <p><strong>Arugula, Watermelon and Feta Salad</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients</span></p> <p>For the vinaigrette:<br /> • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice<br /> • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)<br /> • 1/4 cup minced shallots (1 large)<br /> • 1 tablespoon honey<br /> • 1/2 cup good olive oil<br /> • 1 teaspoon kosher salt<br /> • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper</p> <p>For the salad:<br /> • 6 cups baby arugula, washed and spun dry<br /> • 1/8th seedless watermelon, rind removed, and cut in 1-inch cubes<br /> • 12 ounces good feta cheese, 1/2-inch diced<br /> • 1 cup (4 ounces) whole fresh mint leaves, julienned</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Directions</span></p> <p>Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, shallots, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly, to form an emulsion. If not using within an hour, store the vinaigrette covered in the refrigerator.</p> <p>Place the arugula, watermelon, feta, and mint in a large bowl. Drizzle with enough vinaigrette to coat the greens lightly and toss well. Taste for seasonings and serve immediately.</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_0263rev1.jpg"> <span class="pibfi_pinterest "> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2588" src="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_0263rev1-1024x682.jpg" alt="IMG_0263rev1" width="560" height="372" srcset="https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_0263rev1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_0263rev1-200x133.jpg 200w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_0263rev1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px" /> <span class="xc_pin" onclick="pin_this(event, 'http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://myrosecoloredshades.com/2014/05/22/recipe-highlight-easy-summer-salads/&media=http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IMG_0263rev1-1024x682.jpg&description=Recipe Highlight: Easy Summer Salads')"> </span> </span> </a><br /> I had this salad for the first time at a friend’s house when she had a Mediterranean-themed dinner.

I was on a quick visit to J.Crew to return an item and, of course, I couldn’t leave without quickly scanning the sales rack. This orange blazer caught my eye right away (the last one and exactly my size!), even though I typically don’t go for bright colored blazers. Perhaps it was the feminine puff sleeves, which I hadn’t seen in a while, that piqued my interest. I also found this seersucker eyelet skirt, also not a typical choice. I tried on the blazer and the skirt with the silk striped shirt that I happened to have on at the time along with my slip-on sneakers. Somehow, the whole ensemble just felt right. I would have never thought to combine the striped shirt with the seersucker eyelet skirt. I rarely do mixed patterns so this was a nice change. And I think that the long winter we had left me wanting for bright spring colors. Besides, it’s always fun to mix it up every once in a while.</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/img_0173rev1.jpg"> <span class="pibfi_pinterest "> <img

I still remember back in the day when flared jeans were all the rage and I would hear people swear that they would never wear anything else. Well, I guess never say never because I’m sure those same people have a closetful of skinny jeans now. I’ve been seeing, or at least noticing, a lot more wide-leg pants, 70s inspired looks lately. I’ve been wanting to put together a similar look for a little while so when I saw Rebecca from <em>Red Tag Chic Los Angeles</em> looking fabulous in her 70s inspired outfit <a title="Red Tag Chic" href="http://redtagchiclosangeles.com/2014/04/28/back-to-the-seventies/" target="_blank">here</a>, I knew I had to do it. I was so excited to find these summery wide-leg pants at Anthropologie. The minute I tried them on I knew I had to have them. They’re soooo comfy! I also found this super cute top with what I thought was just another random print, but when I looked closely I realized they were little monkeys! Now who could pass up this adorable blouse with little monkeys on them?! I sure couldn’t. I finished the look with platform wedge sandals and a holographic clutch from Express. It reminded of disco balls. Yeah, I’m probably reaching there.</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/img_0086rev1.jpg"> <span class="pibfi_pinterest "> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async"

Since Mother’s Day is coming up, I wanted to share a semi-homemade recipe that’s not only delicious but quick and easy to put together, anything to make mom’s life easier. This dish is a family favorite and, by finding a few shortcuts here and there, I’ve been able to whip up this meal in no time. I don’t mind semi-homemade as long as it doesn’t compromise the taste and I can include lots of fresh ingredients. This meal is perfect for the warmer weather and always fun to eat with the family. I put out all the ingredients and everyone makes their own tacos with their favorite ingredients, even my 4-year-old! Along with the cole slaw topping, I always have shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream and lime wedges. And since we all love salsa in my family, I always have a medium tomatillo salsa along with a mild salsa for the kids.</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/fishtacos2rev1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2433" src="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/fishtacos2rev1.jpg?w=560" alt="fishtacos2rev1" width="560" height="373" srcset="https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/fishtacos2rev1.jpg 3328w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/fishtacos2rev1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/fishtacos2rev1-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px" /></a><br /> <strong>Fish Tacos</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ingredients</span><br /> 1-2 boxes of pre-made battered fish fillets (either from Trader Joe’s or Costco, 1 box is plenty if buying from Costco)<br /> 1 bag of corn tortillas (follow instructions for warming up, may use flour tortillas if preferred)<br /> Toppings:<br /> Diced tomatoes<br /> Shredded lettuce<br /> Shredded cheese (I use a Mexican mix or Monterey Jack.)<br /> Sour Cream (I mix buttermilk with the sour cream to thin it out and place it in a squeeze bottle for easy access; sometimes I add a little bit of adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers for a little spice.)<br /> Coleslaw (see recipe below)</p> <p>Instead of going through the tedious process of taking each fish fillet and coating it with batter and then frying them and making a big mess of the kitchen in the process, I prefer to buy the battered fish pre-made either from Trader Joe’s or Costco. Both stores carry a few different options. This shortcut allows you to have the fish fillets hot and ready for the tacos right out of the oven in about 15-20 minutes. All you have to do is follow the instructions on the box!</p> <p><strong>Coleslaw with Cumin-Lime Vinaigrette Recipe</strong> (original recipe <a title="Bobby Flay Coleslaw with Cumin-Lime Vinaigrette" href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/coleslaw-with-cumin-lime-vinaigrette-recipe2.html" target="_blank">here</a>)</p> <p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ingredients</span><br /> Dressing:<br /> 1/3 cup fresh lime juice<br /> 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin<br /> 2 cloves garlic, chopped<br /> Few dashes of hot sauce<br /> 1/2 cup olive oil<br /> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Directions</span><br /> Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

I think I literally buy a new pair or two of <a title="Skechers Twinkle Toes" href="http://www.skechers.com/girls/styles/twinkle-toes" target="_blank">Twinkle Toes</a> every year. I still remember when my 10-year-old tried on her first pair of Skechers snow boots a few years ago and exclaimed enthusiastically, “I didn’t know snow boots could be so fabulous!” Needless to say, when <a title="Skechers" href="http://www.skechers.com" target="_blank">Skechers</a> contacted me, I was thrilled. To be completely honest though, I knew Skechers for their cute kids’ shoes and stylish sneakers but I wasn’t too familiar with their performance and functionality. When I browsed thru their website and paid more attention to their athletic shoes, I was not only pleased with the wide range of selections but also with the features offered by each model. Did you know that this year’s Boston Marathon winner, <span style="color: #545454;">Meb Keflezighi, wore <a title="Skechers" href="http://www.skechers.com" target="_blank">Skechers</a> for his winning run? Hey, if it’s good enough for Meb, it’s good enough for me! And what’s even better is that with Skechers, you get both style and function. Also, look out for the new line of Skechers spring/summer ballet flats that come in stylish prints and patterns and even lace!</span></p> <p>Mini me chose the mulit-colored <a title="Skechers Twinkle Toes Shuffles Sweet Steps" href="http://www.skechers.com/style/10284/twinkle-toes-shuffles-sweet-steps/slhp#Color=WMLT" target="_blank">Twinkle Toes Shuffles Sweet Steps</a> with the cute bows and sparkles.

I thought it would be great to wear them when working out, with its memory foam insole and super light weight shock absorbing midsole. The memory foam insole makes you feel like you’re walking on pillows. The bright colors and ombre design detail make them the perfect pair of statement sneakers to flaunt when I’m on the go or for when I’m just kickin’ it with my girls.</p> <p><a

As I was putting together this outfit though, I realized I probably could have worn this dress in the winter by layering and adding black tights, which always works well with cream or ivory. Oh well, there’s always next winter. This polished casual chic look would be perfect for a lunch break date with the hubby or an afternoon coffee with girlfriends. It’s also comfortable enough to walk around the mall for some shopping afterwards. I’m always looking for versatile dresses and this one definitely falls into that category.</p> <p>Looking for other ways to style this dress?

My answer was, of course, an enthusiastic yes! I’ve shopped at ModCloth several times and I love them for their unique pieces. Putting together a stylish ensemble based on an article of clothing? Hellooo, that’s what I love to do, hence the blog. I was pleasantly surprised when they also asked me to share what inspired my ensemble because I believe that the story behind the look is what makes the pieces come alive.</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/modcloth_wanelo_storyboard1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2233" src="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/modcloth_wanelo_storyboard1.jpg?w=560" alt="modcloth_wanelo_storyboard" width="650" height="650" srcset="https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/modcloth_wanelo_storyboard1.jpg 800w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/modcloth_wanelo_storyboard1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/modcloth_wanelo_storyboard1-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></a><br /> <strong>Easy Breezy to Edgy Elegant: The Bouquet of the Season Dress from Day to Night</strong><br /> This vibrant dress immediately transported me to a luxe resort by the beach. I imagine myself strolling by the waterfront in my <a title="ModCloth Mist You More Sandals" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-sandals/mist-you-more-sandal" target="_blank">Mist You More sandals</a>, clutching my <a title="ModCloth Triple Fantastic Bag" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/handbags/triple-fantastic-bag" target="_blank">Triple Fantastic bag</a> and glancing at the passers-by behind my <a title="ModCloth Oh What a Sight Sunglasses" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/sunglasses/oh-what-a-sight-sunglasses" target="_blank">Oh What a Sight shades</a>. I have on my <a title="ModCloth Casual Complement Vest" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/blazers-vests/casual-complement-vest" target="_blank">Casual Complement vest</a> for a little protection from the refreshing but constant breeze. There is not a care in the world that can take my mind away from this moment except for, perhaps, plans for a romantic dinner in the evening. It would be a shame to have to change out of this flowy and comfy <a title="ModCloth Bouquet of the Season Dress" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/bouquet-of-the-season-dress" target="_blank">Bouquet of the Season dress</a>, so I opt to swap out a few pieces for a more edgy but elegant look. The <a title="ModCloth Infuse Some Edge Moto Jacket" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/jackets/infuse-some-edge-jacket" target="_blank">Infuse Some Edge moto jacket</a> does just the trick, paired with the <a title="ModCloth Bistro So Chic Heels" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-heels/bistro-so-chic-heel" target="_blank">Bistro So Chic heels</a> and the sassy <a title="ModCloth Find Your Passion Bag" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/handbags/betsey-johnson-find-your-passion-bag" target="_blank">Find Your Passion bag</a>. I’m relieved that the versatility of this dress makes for an easy transition.</p> <p>You can see my Wanelo storyboard <a title="Wanelo Storyboard" href="http://wanelo.com/myroseshades/stories" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>Looking for more options?
