Honeymoon: The Perfect Pineapple Sweater

In addition to working, blogging, and being a dog-mom, I've been collaborating with Ryan and my sister Christine on some cool concepts for screen-printed clothing.

Here's a crazy thing - like my Avengers tank, somehow I came up with an idea of putting a pineapple on a shirt...and before I knew it, between Christine's graphic design powers and Ryan's screen-printing skills...here we are, a brand new, perfect-for-the-summer-and-all-vacays off-the-shoulder sweaters: Honeymoon: the perfect pineapple sweater

Dizon Collection: Honeymoon sweater, Roxy bikini bottoms

We opened our Etsy shop: Dizon Collection and are so excited!!!

This Honeymoon pineapple sweater comes in 6 colors, is slightly off-the-shoulder and I've been wearing mine EVERYWHERE from the beach, to Costco, to work on a casual Friday!

 

Check out our shop - we're adding more and more every week:

Greetings from Houston

As you may know, my parents moved to Houston about a year ago. It was a pretty big change as they knew very little people, but they are adjusting well and are loving it. It's great for me, since I have a small group of friends (see: DRU, Issa, Fifi) that I get to visit a few times a year.

This April brought me back to Houston thanks to an Austin-based work trip that I piggybacked off of. We visited a couple of murals, and I definitely couldn't leave without some crawfish! (My first time so I had to learn how to eat them)

I forgot to bring my camera (worst blogger ever), so here's some snaps I took with my phone. What DRU and I forgot to do were video AskPhivy questions...and technically, blog posts. LOL. Ah, one day we will remember that we actually are bloggers and he's a photographer, so I should use that to my advantage.

I'm reinspired to start taking more photos, so hopefully I'll be posting more and more of them. But not any less selfies. Never less selfies.

Summer Staples: Kimonos

In the winter I'm known for my blanket scarves - these huge, warm flannel scarves that are large enough to be a blanket. They're perfect to wrap around and keep you nice and cozy.

But in the summer I'm all about kimonos. They add an extra element that really brings an outfit together. Plus they're so flowy! Flowy & Flowery!!

Date Night

In case you didn't know, Ryan's a huge musical fan.

But I am not.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy musicals when I'm there, but the thought of going to them is excruciating. But what I do like? Date nights! Dressing up! AND PICTURES.

I wore this dress to see Newsies opening night at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. The show itself was good, a bit on the slower side for my taste, but I enjoyed the singing, dancing, and especially the child actor who stole the show...and my heart.

BCBG Max Azria Dress, Tory Burch Heels

This dress is actually my wedding rehearsal dress, and I just haven't had a chance to wear it again. It's also one of my favorite dresses, but unfortunately not a dress I can wear to other people's weddings. White at a wedding? I'm not that rude!!

The loose pleating, the black ribbon details, and especially that bottom red panel really make this a dress that fits my personality. In fact, I feel like I would have designed this dress if I hadn't found it sitting in an outlet store window (true story).
