Aloha Hawaii

I thought that I was doomed to spend the entire summer in Los Angeles after being laid-off from my job. I was certain that the only vacation we would be taking this summer would be a day at the beach. As things have turned out, we are going to Hawaii in June. I am absolutely thrilled to be going anywhere this year. With a little tax refund, one free ticket using our airline miles and a great Hawaii offer that popped up we couldn't resist.

While I normally write about how I am completely enamored with Europe, I am really getting into the Hawaiian mood. This will be our first trip to Hawaii. I have been reading books about Hawaii and listening to Hawaiian music to put me in the right frame of mind. I am ready to sit on the beach and drink a Mai Tai with a flower in my hair. Ah, I can hear the music and feel the ocean breeze.

We will be visiting Honolulu and Kauai. From all the research that I've done Hawaii looks gorgeous! I can't wait to experience the Hawaiian culture and cuisine. Hawaii is calling me...

Navy Blue Zooey Deschanel Inspired Cotton Dress (Size 10, 12, 14 Euro size 38, 40, 42) FREE SHIPPING



We all know that there are two things that Zooey Deschanel loves. The color blue and cotton. (Besides "her long dark hair and how easily she could cut it off and feel nothing.") You've seen her commercials for cotton, they are adorable.

This lovely little cotton a-line frock is navy blue with plenty of details. The first are the lovely buttons in the front with faux pockets. The buttons make a second appearance at the back of the dress for added detail and dimension to the dress that accent the waist line. Wear this frock to work with a little cardigan, go strapless on a night out, or wear the straps up. This dress is made of a thick sturdy cotton. There are many choices for you to dress up or dress down this perfect little navy dress. Not to mention you can wear it with tights and boots in the winter. Please email parleneparis@sbcglobal.net with any questions.

I love this jacket because it is a neutral color with so many possibilities. With femininity in each thoughtful detail this jacket has a little ruffled puff sleeve and a ruffle at the waist. Detail buttons at the back waist flatter the narrowest part of your body. So feminine and sweet with a delicate collar. Imagine this sweet jacket with jeans, dresses and skirts. You can wear the most casual top and then add comfortable sophistication with this jacket. It is cotton so it moves with you. Say goodbye to restrictive jackets. Cotton and light just in time for spring and cool summer nights.
