Gone Surfing

Have you missed our posts? We have missed writing them, however we are not slackers. Our choice to put down the posts in order to rebuild the new home of sarahshirley.com is a wise one. Be back soon with more style, more spirit, more to inspire you everyday!

Au Naturale

Sip, slurp, guzzle.. however you wanna do it do it au naturale with my September fave, Lacroix Sparkling Water.  The flavors in Lacroix are essence oils extracted from fruit, making this beverage tasty and the best bubbly without the sugars and artificial ingredients.

Rock & Rocha

The model with the most Coco Rocha taps it out this month for White House Black Market in their latest ad below, as well as my September fave celeb!  This fire cracker really knows how to groove on and off the runway, and never fails to be spotted in every fashion mag under the sun each month.  Keep doing what your doing Coco Rock & Rocha.

Over the Moon

Take a latte break this afternoon and download some new tunes by my September fave band Walk The Moon.  I can not stop listening to their song tight rope and I'm sure you will not be disappointed in my obsession.

Solid Gold

Getting the last bits of Summer in, my lover and I  had a little outing at the Darien Boat Club in Connecticut and spotted my new dream car, the  International Traveller Station Wagon. The golden metallic colour is spot on for any outing be it a drop off at  Studio 54 or a SoCali Surfari. Loving how my Top Shop dress, flouro scarf and Jim Choo's look against the perfect backdrop of a great adventure.

Flavor of the Month

Happy September cyber stalkers, I got some some new flavorful faves that you should nibble on!

XO,
Sarah

The Games

The London 2012 Olympic Games have already come and gone, but I'm still not ready to let them go!  The USA took home a total of 104 medals, 46 of which are gold!  I'm counting down the days until Russia 2014 Winter Games, but until them like FanPage and watch a highlight of the closing ceremony that will knock your socks off.

Solid Gold

If you are like me and are still not over the Olympic Games you too can take home the Gold with Michael Kors GOLD Eau de Parfum.  This light yet indulgent scent is the perfect win for Fall, and keeps you glimmering in summers glow!

Wrist Candy Anyone?

Hello there Gorgis!!!! I'm all about stacking bracelets and mixing different textures when it comes to accessorizing. You have to have some fun when you're working with jewelry! I love using simple gold bangles then adding a yummy color like pink or yellow to help spice it up. Bracelets are so much fun to wear, and it can brighten any outfit no matter what. Here are some ideas that you can try! Enjoy!

Living in a Dream World

This month's favorite tune Caliban's Dream,  or you might know it better as the song used during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games.  If you didn't get a chance to view this magical event or hear this wondrous song now is your chance, better late than never.

Chop it off!

Fall is around the corner.  When the seasons change, I love to switch it up. Short hair is a fave for the fall and even I'm thinking of cutting a few inches off. Short hair is way easier to maintain and it saves you time and cha-ching....more money for fall boots! if you have long tresses, chop it off for the new season and create a whole new look yourself!  if you're hesitant, just look at this way, its only hair and it will grow back by next summer. Be spontaneous be bold,be brilliant!  Need some inspiration? Check out these are celeb and model tresses that I absolutely adore!

Here is the beautiful Katie Holmes rocking a short bob with a wispy bang!

HeartBeet

This Month's fav sip is BluePrint Beet Juice. All the Olympic athletes have been spotted drinking this heart healthy brew. BluePrint is 100% natural fresh fruit and vegetables, and fun fact this cardiovascular asset also help divers and musicians hold their breath longer.  I love the deep burgundy color of the juice with the robins egg blue POC - Tres Chic!

Training Day

This month's fav celeb is the fierce Carmelita Jeter. She is known to be the world's second fastest woman. She has one over numerous championships. She helped the USA break the world record and take home the Gold in London for the 4x100 meter relay. Check her out in this video on how she trained for the games and even how she spends her days off.

August Rush.

Happy August, Happy Olympics!  My faves this month are centered around those five connecting circles, Go USA!  Be sure to surf my site and if you don't already like my Fanpage its time you get a move on it before the games have come to a close.

An American Family

I was lucky this weekend to catch The Beach Boys movie on the boob tube while coach surfing.  I have been wanting to see this flick about the lives of my July fave tune holders but couldn't get my hands on it so was ecstatic to see that it was on TV.  And I wasn't disappointed getting a look into the world of the originally named Pendletones and especially the "Musical Genies" mind of Brian Wilson and their struggles that you would have never have noticed with the hits Surfer Girl, Help me Rhonda and California Girls.

The Caviar Manicure

I know what you guys are thinking...is this really fish eggs or is it actually nail polish? Well the brand Ciaté, London Beauty Manufacturer has created a one-of-a-kind nail polish that resembles caviar or a delicious sprinkled cupcake that will leave your nails dazzling and turning heads! Comes in 3 yummy colors: Rainbow, Mother of Pearls, and Black Pearls. You can purchase this two-step DIY kit at Sephora for only 25 bucks! That's pretty cheap for caviar ;)

Too Hot to Flop!

Stopped by the VPR Holiday/Resort Preview today and got totally hooked up with this orange you glad pair of flops!  These Yosi Samra beauties are currently on sale at Refinery 29's Shop, and will look totally stellar with a hot pink mini or mani!

Get Polished!

Hey there fashionistas! It's Maje here at your service! Im Sarah's intern for the summer and I would love to share my fun adventure at Polished Beauty Bar located on 250 West 78th St. Sarah sent me on a mission to see how this place was and I am happy to say it was a fab experience! Polished is a must if you ever want to give yourself a little treat! What I loved the most is how clean it was, the salon is certified to an air purification system which gives you fresh clean air once you walk in. The staff and the manager were very friendly even though they were packed w/ customers. It was well lit with the tiny cute chandeliers in the ceiling, the nailpolishes were organized very well so customers can easily pick out their color, free wi-fi was available and the flat screen tv was playing a classic black and white film! What salon does that? You even get a complimetary back massage while your nails are drying! I left the salon feeling refreshed, I was def a happy camper! http://www.polishedbb.com/

Super Swimwear!

Summertime means swimwear shopping! Every summer sees a new 'must have' swimwear brand, here's this seasons two. Meet stylist turned swimwear designer Lisa Marie Fernandez and new super brand L*Space. The latter has made cowgirl tassels a must have poolside, whilst the prior makes sporty swimwear less of a practicality and more of a style statement. Invest in either of these brands this summer and you will be the hottest chica by the pool!

Girls Day Out

The whole Sarah Shirley team loves to have fun, so every now and again we like to take some time away from the office to go somewhere new, learn something new, have fun and just get inspired! Here we are on Long Beach this week after taking a yoga class on a stand up paddle board.
