Travel Guide: Temecula

It feels like Temecula has become a bit of a “home away from home” these last 5 or 6 years.  Not only does my grandpa live in nearby Fallbrook but for years it has been the pick up and drop off spot for Chris’s son.  Fast forward and now we are even planning our winery […]

Insta Lately

Happy Saturday!  I haven’t done a roundup of my Instagram posts in a while (at least it feel like a while) so I thought I’d break up the regularly scheduled Nordstrom Sale posts (HERE and HERE if you missed them) with some details on what I have been wearing lately. This is Summer in the […]

Wicker, Rattan, & Basket Bags

Unless you guys have been living under a rock I am sure you have noticed that there is a major obsession with handbags made of wicker, rattan, raffia, and macrame.  I think it’s actually safe to say Cult Gaia led the charge with their now iconic Ark bag (aka my most favorite bag ever).  It […]

Splurge or Save: 5 Summer Staples

I seriously wonder if seasonal trends are really so big that everyone knows about them or if my love of all things fashion and style tunes me in just a bit more than the average woman.  Whether it’s my time spent flipping through the latest Vogue or InStyle, scrolling Instagram, spending hours reading blogs and […]

My Summer Wardrobe Staples

I have a few items in my closet that are on major repeat right now: this Janessa Leone hat, my Cult Gaia bag, and these satin slides.  Each piece is chic and cool in it’s own right but when all three are paired together it is an instant elevation to the most basic of outfits. […]

4th of July Finds

I can’t believe the 4th is just a few days away (and that we leave for our weekend in Arrowhead on Sunday)!  In case you missed it, this is quite possibly my favorite Holiday of the year, even more than Christmas.  Last week I shared some fun Patriotic finds to take you from the beach […]

Insta Lately

Happy Hump Day!  We are currently up in Joshua Tree (trying) to escape the heat of Palm Springs.  News flash: it’s not much of an escape at 112 degrees currently.  Someone get me to an ocean, STAT! While we are up here I have been working on my forthcoming Travel Guide to JTree (ahhhhhh!) and […]

Insta Lately

Hey guys, how was your weekend?  This was the first full weekend Chris and I have had off together with no plans, no kids, no obligations in literally MONTHS!  It was so nice just to be lazy and not make any real plans.  We spent all day Saturday at home enjoying coffee on the patio, […]

Memorial Weekend Packing List

Raise your hand if you are as excited about Memorial Weekend as I am!  I have adored the Summer holidays (Memorial, the 4th, Labor Day) since I was a little girl.  To me they always meant fun, family, sunshine, friends, BBQs, time at the beach or lake, and an excuse to celebrate.  Now that I am […]
