Twillys are a fun way to customize and dress up your bags. So I wanted to share 8 ways to tie an Hermes Twilly on your bag handles to give you some inspiration. It's up to you if you want to tie a twilly on one or both handles of your bags. In my personal opinion, I think you either wrap a twilly around each handle or none at all. Having a twilly on your bag handles will protect the leather. Therefore, you will get inconsistent wear on your handles if they're not on both. But if you're just looking to get one twilly to decorate your bag with many of these ways to tie an Hermes twilly work great as any accessory to your bag. If you're not concerned about wear on your bag handles, I highly recommend giving these a try! And the beauty about these is you can always switch them up! They're super easy to do, and don't take much time, so on ... Read more...
12 Things Every New Mom Should Know
Now that I've updated you all on Mason and my six month postpartum progress I wanted to share some of the most important things I've learned and feel all new moms should know.

So rather than spew around advice that won't actually help new, first time moms, I thought I would share 12 things every new mom should know before giving birth. 1. Self care is more important than ... Read more...
Pinstripe and Floral Shirtdress
You know when you find that dress that's just calling your name and is almost like it was made for you, well this dress by Opening Ceremony is just that for me. I love a classic shirt dress but this one's got that extra special twist. There are just so many ways that you could wear this dress dressed up or down and I think that's why I love it so much. Since the weather is transitioning to be warmer (finally!) but still has that cool breeze I chose to wear it with my over the knee boots and layered a military inspired vest over to ... Read more...
Bumpdate: 6 Months Postpartum
I can't believe I am sitting here writing a post 6 months postpartum. Where has the time gone??? I feel like I've just blinked my eye and my tiny 4 pound 11 ounce baby is now a little human! While things seem to be moving so fast with Mason, you can read my 6 month update on him here, my postpartum body transformation seems to be moving quite slowly. I had given myself six months to get back into my pre-baby shape and let me tell you, I still have about 11 pounds to go. My bump has gone down sizably but there is still a nice layer ...

Donald J Pliner Spring 2017 Preview
The other weekend Mason and I drove over the hill to check out the Donald J Pliner Spring 2017 preview at their Santana Row location. We arrived a little late to the party but we had a fabulous time non the less and closed the place down. I loved the live musician Mitchell Lujan and DJ, yummy lite bites, and of course the shoes!! Oh the shoes!!! My first pair of Donald J Pliner heels were from their stretch mesh collection many years ago, like when I was in college. It's still a staple in their current collections and ...

Military Vest
Military vests and jackets have been a big trend that keep coming back year after year. In 2015 and 2016 is was a big trend for fall. But I think that this military vest by Marissa Webb works perfect for spring! This military vest has so many great details! With my husband being in the military I can appreciate the trend and the details that make the pieces look more authentic. This vest is obviously not from a military branch but is a great homage to military wear while still being feminine. This vest has so much style it's easy to ... Read more...
