To continue the birthday celebrations my dad and I took my mom out for her birthday to Restaurant 1833 in Monterey. This place is fabulous!! I would highly recommend it if you are ever in the area. I loved the ambiance and all of the little touches they've made to make their restaurant unique. Since it was a festive occasion I wanted to bring my Mark + James vest out of hibernation. I absolutely love wearing this vest during the holidays. The mix of textures is great and the sequin detail adds just the right amount of shine. I ... Read more...

Weekend Highlight: Unplugged.
This weekend I {gasp} unplugged! No phone, no internet, just quality time with the family; and no pic to prove it.

I am constantly getting sucked in, only hours later realizing I have yet to ... Read more...
Weekend Highlight: Mother’s Day
My weekends have been very eventful lately and this weekend was no exception. With so many fun things going on it's tough to pick one aspect to highlight. This weekend, I pampered my mom and myself with a full day at the spa on Friday for an early Mother's Day present; then there was aerial yoga, a trip to the Drybar for a pre-festivities blowout, and a good friends little sisters college graduation party all on Saturday.
