This weekend I headed up to Arnold for a weekend of relaxation and wine tasting with friends. Two and a half hours south of Lake Tahoe it feels like a quick trip to the mountains from the peninsula. It rained all weekend but we didn't let that stop us! Every time we come here we have to visit the town of Murphy's, a hidden gem. Murphy's is full of wineries and the downtown is lined with winemakers tasting rooms. As always we have an amazing time and the weekend goes by too quickly. Until next time... Hope your weekend ...

MBFW Street Style
Sadly, I couldn't attend Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week this year so, like many of you, I am going to have to live vicariously through some of my favorite fashion bloggers.

Layering a Maxi Dress
What's up with this weather? It feels more like May than January. With this warmer than normal weather I've been pulling out some of my summer staples, maxi dresses. But with only a handful to choose from how do I make my outfits seem different? Layer them! In the summer I might pair this maxi with sandals but it just doesn't seem right to wear them in January! Light colored ankle boots are a great alternative. Layering another top over your maxi dress and belting it turns it into a completely different look. It's a great ... Read more...
White on White.
As mentioned in my last post, I never wear all black and I'll admit I've been hesitant to try wearing all white. The other night I decided to try it and after the initial rush of self consciousness I love the outfit. Mixing whites is totally ok and wearing pieces with different textures and fabrics adds interest to the monochromatic outfit. What do you think, would you dare to wear all white? Blouse: Wendy Hill {old}, love this 3/4 sleeve lace top. Tank: Maddy M {also old but one of my ... Read more...
