I absolutely love fashion, hence the reason why I started a fashion and lifestyle blog! I will take any chance to spend the day checking out clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories. So when an organization as close to my heart as the Junior League I would never miss the opportunity to support and attend the JLSF's annual fashion show. When I was a member of this league I was on the fashion show committee before having to transfer to the San Diego league. Fashion is my passion and this event has always been a highlight ...

Weekend Highlight: Wine Tasting in Murphy’s
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.

I will admit that I typically eyeball a lot of the ingredients so you will have to see what looks proportionate. Here is the latest tasty creation ... Read more...
Black Friday: So many deals but is it worth the crowds?
Black Friday deals each year are getting pushed earlier and earlier, I mean come on you can't call them Black Friday deals if they start on Thursday, can you? The crowds go crazy for what, an in-store flash sale?? I'm guessing you can tell what my answer is to my blog post title, and it's NO. I hear of people who leave family functions on Thanksgiving to head down and stand in line, or wake up at the crack of dawn Friday morning fighting the crowds to get an extra 10-15% off. Thanks to sites like Gilt, Hautelook, One Kings ... Read more...
