For my recent girls getaway to Napa Valley I picked up a few new pieces. I know I said I was challenging myself to not purchase any new clothes these first six months of the year but my Unlimited order I was banking on for the trip didn't arrive in time so I made a quick pit stop to the mall, the night before we left, to get something new. I hardly feel bad about breaking my little New Years Resolution/Challenge when everything I purchased was under $50! Target and Kohls are two of my go-to places to shop for on trend pieces with an ... Read more...
Modern Work Blazer
I went from being a full time executive assistant to a work from home mom and so my daily wardrobe has drastically changed as one might imagine that it would. While I don't miss going into an office Monday-Friday I do miss getting dressed up for work.

This modern work blazer from Tart Collections is such a fun piece that really transforms an ... Read more...
Outfit Inspiration: What to Wear Wine Tasting in Napa Valley
Wine tasting in Napa Valley is one of my favorite things to do and is an easy getaway from Santa Cruz.

Sequin Embellished Cardigan
We finally had a break in the rain the last couple of days and so I rushed to get outside before the next storm that's supposed to hit us. It's seriously been crazy how much rain we've gotten in Santa Cruz and how much flooding and damage it has caused to the roadways. I'm just so thankful I don't have to go over the hill anymore for work! Anyway, the rain went away but the cold definitely didn't!! I've been freezing in our house even with our fireplace on and have been bundling up as much as possible to stay warm so when I wanted ... Read more...
NYFW Pack List
As you could tell from my blog and social media accounts I am not attending NYFW this season. I'm skipping the cold and staying home with Mason who just turned five months yesterday. My plan is to be back at fashion week this upcoming September for the spring/summer show. I'm already logistically starting to plan to see how I'm going to do it, if I'm going to take Mason with me and have someone come along to watch him while I'm at the shows or if I'm going to leave him at home with Justin and just go for a long weekend (that will be ...
