Let’s get to business. I have to tell you why you should try the bandana trend. I held out for a while thinking I couldn’t pull this trend off. In summer, I tend to accidentally drift toward brighter looks and away from my neutral favorites. Somehow brights end up feeling less edgy. I loved this striped off the shoulder dress (under $20!!) when I got it in the mail. I mean, so fun right?! I knew I didn’t want to add…
You can probably tell by my pasty white skin (thank goodness for Tan Towels!) that the sun and I have never been friends. I’ve never been tan, only red, after spending time in the sun. As I have gotten older, sun protection has become more and more important to me. My face moisturizer has sunscreen in it. If I know I am going to be outside for any length of time, I lather up. You can imagine my excitement when…
Los Angeles was so much fun to explore! I had the same feeling when I was in New York of “Wow, I’m actually on the Walk of Fame (or in Beverly Hills, or on Sunset Boulevard, etc)”. It’s always neat to experience things you’ve only heard about. It was the last stop on our trip, and Russ and I were admittedly getting tired. This preggo’s feet were swollen on the last day! I was shocked. I guess that is what…
In case you missed it, I am working through recapping our tour of California including outfit photos and travel diaries! You can see San Francisco and Carmel here and here. After visiting Carmel, we continued our beautiful drive down the coast (photos below) and stopped for one night in Santa Barbara. Russ had been there once before for a work trip and loved it. I was excited to check it out too. Today I am sharing our Santa Barbara travel…
Happy Monday all! I am back at it with the Blogger Nation babes today. This week we are all sharing pieces from the Kendra Scott Fall Collection. It just launched last week, and as with every collection before it, I am totally smitten. You can view all the pieces here. Working with Kendra Scott has been one of my favorite blog partnerships. Not only is the jewelry amazing, but the company is too. Be sure to read about the Kendra…
After renting a car in San Francisco, Russ and I began our travel down the Pacific Coast Highway. I cannot recommend driving down the coast enough. It’s gorgeous! I also recommend driving south verses north so you are on the same side of the road as the coast. Better views! Today I’m sharing my Carmel travel diary. It was easily our favorite stop, and I’d love to go back with more time. The whole town is charming with beautiful flowers…
Today starts early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (card members only). It opens to the public on the 22nd. You can get a sneak peek of the sale items here. I don’t have a card which is making me feel like a total commoner. All joking aside, I actually did not plan to post anything, but you get sucked into these things in the blogging world. I saw an amazing suede moto jacket (major wish list item) Posh Classy Mom posted…
We made it back from our trip late Saturday night. In case you missed it, we did a whirlwind tour through California, and it was so great to have some fun with Russ. We’ve been together for 13 years (married for 7), and we are definitely set in our ways and routines. We are so ready to have a baby and welcome all the change it will bring. I think it makes me savor our time as a twosome a little…
I’m so excited to be starting up our summer Blogger Nation series! If you are new around here, each season I have the pleasure of teaming up with five other awesome bloggers each Monday to share one great brand with you. Today I am summer ready with Tommy Bahama. Tommy Bahama really has the perfect summer pieces. Great prints and great quality. I selected this gathered waist dress in navy thinking it would work well with a bump. I’ll be…
Today is part two of summer dresses with French Connection. Did you catch Wednesday’s white maxi dress? Such a fun, girly piece. Today is a totally different boho vibe in the sunshine bloom embroidered smock dress. I paired it with my long time favorite fringe peep toe booties. I just love the embroidery on this dress! Warning, it does run large. I definitely should have sized down. Russ and I are currently on vacation. I scheduled posts for the week, but will otherwise be…
