From Google Reader to Bloglovin'

As you know, Google Reader will be on its way out in about 2 weeks, which means no direct feeds of your favorite blogs! Don't fret - there is still time to transfer the blogs you read over to Bloglovin', and I couldn't recommend it enough. Here's how:

1. Set up a Bloglovin' account: If you don't have a Bloglovin' account, you can get one here. During the process it will ask if you want to import the blogs you read on Google Reader to Bloglovin'. Click on the button to import and that's it!

If you already have a Bloglovin' account, then here's what to do:

1. Log in to Bloglovin' and click on your profile picture.

2. On your profile page, click Edit your profile. This will take you to your account settings, notifications, etc.

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Import blogs. Doing this will take you to a page that gives you 2 options. Click on Google Reader and follow the prompts.

4. The import literally takes a few seconds to work. Once the import is complete, it will take you back to your Bloglovin' homepage where you can view all the recent posts from your favorite bloggers.

It's rumored that Goggle Friend Connect may follow in Google Reader's departure, so to avoid missing any posts, i've been following blogs directly on Bloglovin'.  

Let me know if you need any help and I hope to see you all on Bloglovin'!  See you all over on Bloglovin' soon!

Do You Want to be My Date to the Sock Hop?

I like to visit Shareen Vintage at least once a month as it is my favorite place to shop for fabulous vintage dresses.  If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably saw me flaunt this beauty the day I bought it.  Alan and I were on a trip to Downtown LA and on the way back home we had about 15 minutes to spare, which I spent in Shareen.  I didn't have an occasion in mind when I bought this beauty, but every girl, I mean every girl, needs a vintage party dress.  Of course, the finishing touches come in sparkly heels and a bow to top off a classic pony.

How to Wear a Crop Top Like a Lady

Crop tops have been on my mind lately. I never had the chance to rock them back in the 80s or early 90s, but here in 2013 conservative me was to scared to wear the crop.  Much like my rule when it comes to skirt (remember this post here?), I worried that a crop top on me would look more trashy than sophisticated on me.  I finally took the plunge and bought a crop top. For a date night out, I searched my closet for a super high waist bottom to balance out the crop.  I tried a few options, but loved the crisp ladylike look of the pencil skirt with the striped top.  A tweed jacket was the right cover-up, while I kept the rest of my look neutral.   I definitely think more mature or conservative ladies can definitely rock the crop trend while keeping the rest of the pieces polished.  Tell me, how do you feel about rocking the crop top trend?

Embroidered Shell and Pleats

Casual Thursday is the new norm at work and I'm so excited to change up my work wear for the summer.  We generally get to celebrate casual Friday, but Thursday too is a blessing.  With the summer heat upon us, I can't imagine wearing stuffy work outfits 4 days a week! A couple of weeks ago, I donned my new embroidered shell top with my sheer pleated skirt for a casual cool look at the office.  It was also a great outfit to take me from the workday to a quick dinner with friends.
