It’s been a while since I have done a “Currently Craving” post…as in, I can’t remember the last time I did one (insert embarrassed emoji here).  One of the goals I have given myself this Summer is to streamline content and create a more structured way of posting (i.e. Currently Craving Saturdays) and […]

Back in Black

Anyone else have a serious Super Bowl hangover today?  Between all the excitement and energy of the game, the guac, the chili, the Bloody Mary, the rosé, and the fact that I just worked 6 days straight I am dragging thru this Monday in a bit of a haze.  I figure there is no better […]

Daily Style

I have been living in casual, effortless pieces recently including this raglan sweatshirt from James Perse (I also have it in white).  It is such an easy piece to wear alone or layered with a jacket.  I picked up these Nikes from Nordstrom last week and am UH-bsessed! Have an amazing Thursday! XO, Niki Sweatshirt […]

FALL in Love…

I LOVE Fall!  There is something so magical and wonderful about the change in seasons from the hot, hot heat of Summer to the brisk days and falling leaves of Autumn.  There are also a few of those things I love that only happen this time of year: Pumpkin Chai Lattes – Even better with […]

Leather Jacket

I have been dying for cooler weather just so I could wear my new leather jacket.  In all fairness, it’s still not really cool enough but I am over waiting…I live in Palm Springs after all!  The leather on this Michael Kors jacket is soooo soft (it’s acosta lamb leather) and the fit is perfect […]
