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...
Eat, Shop, Do: Capitola
Now that I live just minutes from Capitola Village, I have been able to go back to all my favorite spots. I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, and moved to Capitola with my family in high school.

There is no better place in my mind to raise a family than in Santa Cruz. I might be a little partial, sure, but Santa Cruz has so much to offer from beautiful beaches, ... Read more...
Ikea Hack: Vittsjo Bookcase
The last few weeks my husband and I have been working on our home in our spare time. There are so many things we want to fix and change and only so much time during the week that we can dedicate to projects. This past weekend I was able to finally finish a project that I have been dying to do. I love pinterest as a source to collect inspiration and during the search for finding our first home to purchase I started to spend more time looking at pictures of beautiful interiors, outdoor spaces, modern kitchens and bathrooms, and DIY ...

Embellished Details
I'm usually not one to go for sweatshirts but when one looks this nice, I couldn't resist! Back in the day I used to wear sweatshirts all the time but after I graduated college I pretty much dropped them. This JOA embellished version is so great though. I'm able to wear it to work because of the embellished details and it also works perfectly for the weekend too. I decided to go with a neutral look here pairing my new JOA sweatshirt with my oldie but goodie 3.1 Phillip Lim knit skirt. These pumps by Schutz couldn't be more perfect for ... Read more...
