Happy Valentine’s Day & Romantic Vibes

February 14, 2017

Hello, loves! Happy Valentine’s Day!
I’m not going to lie and say that Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday, (which, oddly enough, happens to be the 4th of July), but it’s definitely in the top 5! Everything covered in red and pink, heart and lip shapes, and that special feeling you get surrounded by people you love. Even if you don’t have that “special someone” in your life, you do have many special someone’s, like your mom, your girlfriends, your coworkers.. Every one is fair game for sharing the love!

My look for Valentine’s this year is a little less on-the-nose. I wanted it to give off a romantic vibe, from the ivory lace poet sleeves to the lace-up nude heels, without being a lovely, yet uber safe, little red dress. I loved this top so much that I actually bought it in navy as well, which you’ll be seeing soon on Instagram!

From me and mine to you and yours, Happy Valentine’s Day!

Holiday Party Look : Sequin Tank

December 23, 2015

Well, hello loves!
My third and final party look for the holidays is a simple, tried-and-true pairing of a sequined tank, a black blazer and skinny jeans. You can definitely opt for ankle booties if the weather won’t allow for heels (it’s been raining in Redlands since last night!) or even some knee-high boots with gorgeous hardware would be a fantastic substitution. This outfit I would definitely wear to a NYE party with friends.
Speaking of New Year’s Eve plans, currently, the idea is that Mark and I will be meeting up with a few couples for a little prix fixe menu action at a local eatery and then back to our house for some drinks to ring in the New Year. I have to work on New Years Day in the morning so I’m completely fine with keeping things local and low-key and this outfit will work perfectly for the occasion!

Holiday Party Look : Casual Glam

December 16, 2015

Hello loves!
I’ve put together 3 festive looks for this holiday season that I think are ideal for any kind of party you get invited to… A house party, dinner with friends, drinks on NYE, any place where good times are being had!
This first look is for a more casual get-together, and I would totally wear it to a New Years Day brunch or to a laid back party at a friend’s house. I love that it’s comfy, will keep you warm, but still looking in-the-moment with some sparkly accessories. I’ve also been gravitating towards less fussy looks for the holidays. Anyone can throw on a sparkly dress and heels and call it a day, but a little restraint can also be nice.
