Introducing: Master Remixer MarieStella of Stella Pnp.
Not only is she totally adorable, this girl can style a wardrobe. Scroll through her blog and see all the different outfits she can get out of a single garment. I am especially in love with the mustard maxi skirt she’s been rocking lately – I have a burnt orange one that I’ve been gravitating towards daily as well.
Follow along on Chictopia where she posts quite frequently, or on her blog, where you’ll get an even better look at her remix abilities.

Hello! I’ve just gotten back from Tempe, Arizona, where my mom and I went to celebrate Mother’s Day with my grandma.
I brought my laptop because, like always, I thought I was going to work while I was there, but, like always, I seemed to have forgotten that grandma doesn’t have wifi, and I never really have time to work while I’m there anyway. We are too busy hanging out!
We spent most of our time either out to eat or sitting around the kitchen table drinking coffee, talking, and reading the paper together, with one brief (well, not that brief) outing to the Arizona Mills where I bought a few more HOT weather items, since I also never seem to remember quite how hot it gets in the desert.
I love visiting my grandma’s house because it always reminds me how much I love my family. I get to see all the old pictures and hear about what everybody’s up to now, and it reminds me how cool I think they all are. Not that I ever forget, I just don’t really think about it as much as when I’m there. Lately, it’s also been making me think more about the family I hope to have in the future. Awwww, I’m gettin’ all mushy now!
Anyhoo, I had a great mini-vacation — and I got to fly there, which is somehow the first flight I’ve been on since 2007! — and now I’m back, and I’ll get back to work tomorrow.
And I think I’ll put ‘learn how not to write so many run-on sentences’ on my to-do list. Kisses!
I am about to head into the desert, so this week I want my most summery arsenal. It’s going to be 100 degrees!
A big, floppy hat is essential this summer – partly because we’ve finally figured out that sun protection is sexy, and partly because the music-festival-vibe is everywhere. I started using this sunscreen on my face a few months ago, and let me tell you: it will change your life. There’s the obvious, not-getting-skin-cancer-or-wrinkles-benefit of putting this on before your makeup every morning. But it’s also a great primer for your makeup, totally smoothing and glossing things out from the start. I wear this under my liquid moisturizer and it makes my skin look like it’s glowing. This white lace sundress has a vintage shape and modern feel (my favorite kind of design), and being white, reflects the sun (and the heat) away. Bass might have stolen my heart with these criss-cross strap sandals. I like ‘em in white this time even though they also make them in my favorite natural tan leather. This Minnow Bathers swimsuit from Summerland has been on my mind for a while for its adorable print and heavenly high-waisted bottoms. But now that I’m crazy for crop tops and bustiers, I dream of the bikini top filling in as a tank top as the summer progresses.

What a fabulous day.
I woke up SUPER early to have breakfast with my man before he had to go to work – it was our first breakfast together (besides our camping trip) because we both work early in the morning on opposite days of the week. I went from there to coffee with my mommy for our weekly Wednesday date, and then to the salon for mommy/daughter pedicures.
This evening I had my girlyfriends (and one girlyfriend-approved boy friend) over for the first margaritas of the season on my porch. Usually I use the Jose Cuervo margarita mix, but this time I wanted to try making real margaritas with triple sec and limes – holy good lord, were they strong.
This outfit is a pretty good example of what I think I will be living in the next few weeks. The jacket has become an indispensable component of my wardrobe (as evidenced by all my recent Instagrams). I am also super into any kind of flowy, long top in some kind of ethnic/tie-dye print, and these little huarache sandals.
