Allow me to reintroduce myself

Hey! Yes it’s me again, I know I’ve been MIA but seriously my life is hectic. If you’re new to The Luxury Rehab let me fill ya in.  My name is Ilse but it complicates things so I go by eelsay. I live in an uber small town in California, about 90 miles west of San Francisco.  I’m 24 years old turning 25 soon:/ . I’m a mom to a super cool 6 year old boy, who I adore. Most of time is spent working at a law office, where I’m a legal assistant; I’m also a part time college student pursuing a degree in communication.  So you can see where things get a tad complicated and busy for me. Time management is crucial for me and I’m going to be honest some days I just want to throw in the towel, but I don’t.  So, here I am again sharing my latest outfit hoping that I can inspire just one of you lovely readers. I know all of you guys are busy, how do you manage your time?

What I wore

Old Navy Dress: $10 on sale, Hello!

Nautical Straw Hat: F21

Bag: Calvin Klein 

Shoes: Cathy Jean (old)

The Look For Less

A few weeks ago I spotted these gorgeous blue pumps at Zara, It was love at first sight. Until they arrived and they were too tight, that was plain heartbreak. I'm in the process of trying to rekindle that love with a new order. Then I spotted this gorgeous Christian Louboutin's on pinterest and I realized how much they resembled the Zara pair. So I thought I would share my find. What do you guys think?

Sequins in the work place

I finally got to wear this gorgeous sequins blouse from Tracy Reese for the Neiman Marcus for Target collection. I was just talking to some other bloggers who had it as well and still have not worn it. The detail is gorgeous and very intricate and delicate at the same time, best part I got it 75% off! Amazing right?! The only thing I dislike is that it does run a little big but I can deal. I wore it to work Monday, toned the look down by wearing trousers and nude pumps so the only wow factor would be the top. For the most part I like to keep my work look toned down with a little of my personality integrated somewhere. I snapped a couple of pictures at lunch, enjoy.

Let's recap, shall we?

It’s Friday! We are almost there people, almost.  This week has been crazy but aren't they all? I’m sharing a few things I read this week that either made me raise my eyebrow or made me die laughing , let me know what you guys think?

Flower Power

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Gucci Spring Ready To Wear Collection I suggest you do so here, to get some bright inspirations just in time for spring & summer. You've probably seen the flower statement necklaces around but Gucci took them to another level in their collection. The necklaces featured over sized flowers, with spikes and gems hanging, major bold statement. But unless you have an extra $3,700 laying around you’ll probably looking for an inspired look. Well look no further for a little flower power inspiration on a budget. I found a couple flower necklaces that I like and one that’s $2.50! Yes, that’s right. I hope you guys enjoy the necklaces, which is your favorite?

This is the Gucci inspiration below

1. J.Crew $128

2.Capwell $35

3. I'm terrible i forgot

4. Windsorstore $2.50

5. Accessorize $23.00

New beginnings

Finally! I feel like life put me on a mini roller coaster these last few weeks and I’m barley getting off. I’m so happy to finally be writing on here I feel a sense of relief and relaxation. Unfortunately life happens so I wasn't able to get on here as much as I would have liked but I think all is good (I hope) so you’ll be seeing more of me.

I went shopping for jeans yesterday I felt like being spontaneous! So I mixed things up with using chambray & sequins, always a good pairing if you ask me. WAIT WAIT WAIT!! Before I say anything else did you guys notice I chopped off my hair? Yes I love it! I’m so happy. Twenty years of oppression gone!

Top: Target,Skirt: Dorothy Perkins, Belt: Gap,Shoes: Talbots Watch: Coach Bag: HM

¡Por fin! Siento que la vida me puso en una mini montaña rusa en las últimas semanas y estoy lista para bajar. Estoy tan feliz de finalmente estar escribiendo aquí, siento una sensación de alivio y relajación. Por desgracia, la vida sucede por lo que no pude compartir aquí tanto como me hubiera gustado, pero creo que todo está bien (eso espero), así que van a ver más de mí.

Me fui de compras de  pantalones ayer me sentía como estar espontánea! Así que las cosas mezcladas con el uso de lentejuelas y cambray, siempre una buena pareja si usted me pregunta. ESPERE ESPERE ESPERE! Antes de decir nada más se dieron cuenta de que me cortó el pelo? Sí, me encanta! Estoy tan feliz. Veinte años de opresión ha ido!
