Floral Maxi & Strappy Heels

March 5, 2016

Floral Maxi & Strappy Heels Nothing feels quite like the beginning of spring like a floral print maxi dress. This one in particular, with the high slits that allow a breeze to pass through, the bright and cheery pattern, and the fluttering kimono-like sleeves.. It’s pretty much love all around. I also love that you can dress it up a bit, with some crystal-emblazoned accessories, or down, with just some flip-flops to lounge poolside.
This dress is one of the many items I’ll be stocking my closet with this summer from BohoCheri boutique. They have everything from airy tops to jeans to maxis and tanks to get you through the warmer seasons (not to mention, all of the fun festivals that are coming up!) Check out their Instagram page for more outfit inspiration.
Speaking of summer plans, there was a baby hiccup in making our travel plans to Puerto Rico. We will have to leave a day earlier than the rest of the wedding party, so Mark and I will have more time to explore the historic areas of San Juan by ourselves. I very much look forward to checking out the Castillo San Felipe del Morro (a gorgeous castle with incredible views and lighthouses), dining at places like Greengos Caribbean Cantina and Casa Cortes ChocoBar, and shopping along the Calle del Cristo.

Embroidered Sundress & Denim Jacket

March 2, 2016

Embroidered Sundress & Denim Jacket Hello loves!
I have to say it quickly, before it disappears, but spring has arrived in Southern California! We generally only get a few short weeks in between frigid mornings and hundred degree afternoons, and I like to take advantage of every moment! Little sundresses, sandals, delicate floral prints… It’s a girly girl’s dream season to get dressed for.

Holli (my dream of a photographer and good friend) and I decided to stop in for a bite and some refreshments at Dhat Island, a new Caribbean restaurant located in the downtown area of Redlands, CA. When I read that baby coconuts were on the menu, I’m pretty sure that I let out a squeal! I love coconut water and there’s nothing more fresh than right out of the shell.

I also wanted to share something that I’m super excited to start planning.. My good friend & coworker, Amanda, is getting married in Puerto Rico this summer! I’ve been asked to be the maid-of-honor, a task which is seemingly overwhelming but I’m up for the challenge. I could definitely use tips on how to be the best MOH possible, and also if you have any recommendations for things to do and see in and around San Juan, Puerto Rico!

I’ve gone ahead and linked some similarly lovely white sundresses. They’re all under $50 and evoke the same carefree, casual chic vibe as the one I’m wearing here.

Windowpane Top & A Special Message

December 14, 2015

Hello loves!
As many of you may know, I live in Redlands, CA, which was in the news recently as home to the shooters responsible for the massacre at the Inland Regional Center in nearby San Bernardino. It’s difficult to write this because the loss and devastation that occurred weighs so heavy on my heart. To think that any person could carry out the taking the lives of others to prove anything, period, makes me not only disgusted, but angry. I don’t want to live in a world where people (or my future kids) are afraid to go to a work party, to church, or to just express themselves and what they believe in, whatever that may be.
I’ve lived in Redlands for almost half of my life and it was definitely love at first sight. The vibe, the central location, the diversity of people and restaurants, the sense of community, everything fits for me and it truly feels like home. I’m not one of those people who says “Redlands is amazing, things like this just don’t happen here” because I’m not naïve. I know that this could have happened anywhere, in any city or town. But we are a strong city and will come together in times of crisis and adversity.
This Saturday, the 19th, many of the businesses in Redlands will be participating in an event to help raise money for the victims and families of the shooting. You can visit this Facebook event page to see the full list of businesses joining together for Bonded Strong – A Community for Peace. Some, including a la minute and Parliament Chocolate, will be donating all of their proceeds, as well as several restaurants and retail shops that will be donating a percentage from overall sales. I will be spending most of my day shopping, eating, and walking around to the different vendors, and I encourage all of you whom are in the area to stop by at least one of them to aid in this cause.
