Which bright color is your favorite this season? Yellow, neon pink, neon peachy, or chartreuse? Me? Definitely chartreuse! That slightly green and pale yellow just catches my heart in a snap. This season everything becomes so fun and cheerful that your apparel doesn't have to be  prints or patterns, just pick a single pop color that shall let you carry a hip look all summer.  Eberjey thong, Jil Sander flat, Rochas tote, Chan lu beaded bracelet, Karen Walker sunglasses, Theory sweater, Opening ceremony dress, Wildfox heart baggy sweatshirt Free people yellow polka dot tube top, Zara printed blazer, Etro chartreuse cropped pants, Prada 12' leather woven clutch, Lub Lub by LS coin necklace, J crew bracelet, Momo's March wooden bracelet, Christian Louboutin fabric printed pump    Gold coin necklace by Lub Lub by LS   (link here)  Love yourself, enjoy your life! xoxo Rachel 

Trust me, we have rains in North California these past couple days. Needless to say that rain boots or high top sneakers are the best bets when stepping into the puddles.

But when it comes to food, I eat quite a lot. ( No kidding!!! ) Mainly because I also work out up to 9 hours per week ( I do have my lazy week ) and I need those calories. However, I found myself mooching carbs. a lot which I love and hate at the same time. Until I found this Dr. Frank Lipman's body detox method, I don't know how to eliminate gluten or wheat consumption for my diet. Not that I want to be a total free of gluten and wheat eater.
