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...
Perfect Summer Maxi
Right when the weather started to warm up I was on the hunt for the perfect summer maxi. Now, I have a number of summer dresses in my closet already, that are work and weekend appropriate, but knowing that long hot summer days are in my very near future I would need a few more to mix in so that I wasn't going to be wearing the same few on rotation. Thanks to a perfect collaboration between Banana Republic and Marimekko I found the perfect summer maxi! It wasn't easy to obtain, said dress, because 1. I wasn't able to hit up Banana ...

11 Beautifying Tricks For Looking Gorgeous On A Budget
Being a girl is more work than anything when trying to look gorgeous. Since I was young, my mother and I have always been creative in our beauty routines. We’d often squeeze out tea bags or slice up cucumbers and place on our tired eyes, which worked remarkably well to bring back that sparkle. We’d sit for hours chatting while doing each other’s nails and hair. While I love getting lost at Sephora, spas and beauty departments, it can get costly purchasing different products. I love discovering different tips and tricks that aren’t ... Read more...
Casual Weekend Style
On the weekends I opt for a casual weekend style, especially when I am going to be out and about running errands. The weather lately has been absolutely gorgeous allowing me to wear shorts on the weekend. I luckily scored the last pair of Marimekko for Banana Republic shorts, days after the launch, by begging my local Banana Republic at the Stanford Shopping Center to pull the shorts out of the window display (thankfully they were in my size!) This past weekend I took our pups Lexie and Jackson up to the city for the day. I ... Read more...

Vintage Crochet Dress
This past weekend was so much fun it's hard to get back into the groove at work! Why can't there be a day in between Saturday and Sunday? Anyhoo, on Sunday I had a friend from SF come down for the afternoon so I used the opportunity to try out some spots I've been meaning to try in Palo Alto. We brunched at Mayfield Bakery & Cafe, then grabbed ice cream at Tin Pot, and finished by enjoying the sunny 95+ degree weather! I chose to wear my vintage crochet dress that was given to me by my aunt from New York. It looks very ... Read more...
