My Epic Bachelorette Weekend - Margaritas at Las CasuelasHey loves, spoiler alert!
I got married earlier this month!! I know, you might already be sick of hearing me talk about it, but if not, keep reading!

I’m not going to lie, any chance to go back to my home town of Southern California and I jump on it. When a couple of my bridesmaids offered to throw me a bachelorette party, I instantly thought of Palm Springs. It’s close to almost everyone I wanted to invite, relatively inexpensive, and there is always so much to do. We booked a couple of rooms, planned a few meals, I hopped on a plane, and my epic bachelorette weekend was on. It made the most sense for me to just stay out there until the wedding, and I was more than happy to enjoy a week and a half in my old stomping grounds.

I landed in San Diego on Friday morning and decided to beat the weekend traffic and drive up to Palm Springs with my bridesmaid Jessica that afternoon. The weather was everything I needed! I left 40 degrees, windy and overcast/raining for 75 degrees, sunny and gorgeous! Jessica and I had dinner at her friend’s house, some light bar-hopping, then home to rest up for the next day.

I will say that check-in at our hotel, the Infusion Beach Club, was less than smooth. They surprised us with extra parking charges, a 45 minute delay in the lobby to get in to our rooms, and no elevators. Normally, I wouldn’t mind taking the stairs, but I was carrying a 49.8 lb bag that held all of my outfits for the trip. It was not pleasant.

My Epic Bachelorette Weekend - Infusion Beach Club Palm Springs My Epic Bachelorette Weekend - Charcuterie in the Hotel Room We got settled, munched on charcuterie, sipped on rose, and got ready for our first outing… A scavenger hunt in downtown Palm Springs! It took us from the Palm Springs Museum past several landmarks and bars, which we had to stop in to, of course! TBH, we didn’t end up finishing the hunt, but we did find a tiki bar, and that’s winning in my book!

I had been crushing for months on this tiered, pleated white midi dress from, ironically, also Lulu’s. I paired it with a chunky turquoise necklace, silver heels, and my trusty round woven bag. Ha, and I can’t forget my headband/veil combo that I also rocked!

Not going to lie, we were all feeling pretty wiped from a day of drinking and running around in the sun, so we only made it to one bar before calling it. That wasn’t the end though! A group of us got into our swimsuits and headed to the hotel’s jacuzzi to chat and drink until we got kicked out. Such rebels, right?!

Magically, and I mean this wholeheartedly, none of us were hungover the next morning for brunch! I was amazed, at even myself. Mixing Patron, wine, and champagne can frequently go oh-so-wrong. We turned it out though, check out my gorgeous crew!

Last thing on the schedule was to clock some serious time poolside. If you can imagine, I hadn’t see a pool in over 8 months, so it was a very welcome change.

That’s a wrap on my epic bachelorette weekend, folks! After the hours spent lounging poolside, Jess and I headed back to San Diego and I met Mark and his family at the airport in the morning.. Wedding post is coming soon, stay tuned!!!

Saturday Blogger Brunch & Viewing at La Jolla’s The Lot

Blogger Brunch Event in San Diego

Hi, loves!
I hope everyone is having an amazing start to their October. The weather in Chicago has just now started to turn to rain and gloom, but that month of relative calm after we arrived was much appreciated to kind of ease us in! A little life update – We just heard back last night that they’re agreeing to our terms and we should have keys to our new house by the middle of this month! So exciting!!!!
Full disclosure, this brunch took place a couple of months ago, but we had an issue uploading the pictures and then moving, so it regrettably has taken me longer to get up than I anticipated. Apologies for the delay! Thankfully, the weather in the San Diego area is still about the same, so unlike where I am now, the patio at The Lot is still an amazing place to spend your Saturday morning and afternoon, followed up by watching a movie in one of their luxe theaters.
ICYMI, I also hosted a brunch in LA a couple months prior, that you can read all about here. I just enjoy so much being in the company of amazing creatives, sharing ideas and struggles, and kind of strengthening the bond in our community. Not to mention, gorgeous views, and tasty food and drinks! Those never hurt ? I chose Saturday because I think it’s the best day for brunch.. I’m not sure why people haven’t caught on yet, but when you brunch on Sunday, all of that champagne makes Monday all the more rough to handle. I like to brunch on Saturday to allow my body and mind a day of rest and to recharge before the new week begins.
I’ll get right in to it now with some fun shots of our meetup for Saturday blogger brunch & viewing at La Jolla’s The Lot!

Let me first talk about the vibe at The Lot in La Jolla. Think of the chicest outdoor patio, surrounded by planter boxes full of lush greens, immaculately clean tables and grounds, tons of nature-inspired elements, and just a sense of luxe calm, if that makes sense. It never got too noisy, but people were still having a great time and enjoying themselves. My kind of place, for sure!
90% of us ordered this fun cocktail which turned out to be the most vibrant shade of pink from the muddled blueberries. Our food arrived and out came the phones so we could be *basic* bloggers and take shots before digging in. I ordered the eggs Benedict, as I frequently do, and it was quite delicious. Just the right amount of cooked for my eggs (yolks still runny but no runny white), and the arugula gave a nice little peppery bite.
After we wrapped on our meal, we headed inside to watch Mamma Mia. Not only did I enjoy the movie immensely, (which was a surprise, because I generally despise musicals), but the leather reclining seats were SO luxurious and comfortable. I’m pretty sure Mark almost fell asleep a couple of times. Another perk of this theatre is that you can order drinks right from your seat! The servers are very inconspicuous so you don’t feel like you’re bothering your neighbor, and I was amazed at how quickly my drink was delivered after ordering.

All in all, another successful outing!

Now for a fun little outtake that I can’t stop laughing at!

NYFW Spring/Summer ’19 Day 3 Recap

September 24, 2018

This post is sponsored in part by Pink Blush, Kestan and Cleo Restaurant NY. It also contains affiliate links. Clicking on them or purchasing items through them may provide me with a small commission.

Whew! Days 1 & 2 were so jam-packed, I honestly could have called it there and been completely satisfied with the trip. That was so not the case, as we were just getting started with our New York adventures! Keep reading to see what I got up to on day 3…

Our first show of the day was at Pier 39 Studios for the Custo Barcelona runway. Legit, you guys, this was my favorite show of the season. So many mixed metallics, pastel rainbows, swingy dresses, bomber jackets.. Enough trying to explain in, check out these images of some of my favorite pieces from the collection!

After Custo, even though the next show was in the same building, we had to go back outside to check in for it. Kind of annoying, and I wish they could figure out a way to check you in for both at the same time, but I digress. Next up was the Oxford Fashion collection of designers, which admittedly included a whole bunch of designers I’d never heard of before, but I didn’t find too many pieces that I was like “oh, yes, I would totally wear that!” Nothing against the designers, some of the looks were just a bit high-concept for my taste. I was SO excited to run in to Rachel from @racheloffduty and Summer from @summerlebuchanan before the show started! We met through a blogging community back in Southern California and I was missing my girls so much! We had planned on all going to lunch together, but got pulled in different directions in the end. Thankfully, I believe they’re both attending next season!

A couple of the girls and I wanted to play proper tourists and check out The High Line, and let’s be honest, take some cool pictures. We tried to make it there last season but OMG was that the coldest, windiest day in existence and we just couldn’t handle our lives. So thankful that the sun came out, if only briefly, for us to grab all of these amazing shots!

The rain started coming back so we left the High Line in search of our first meal of the day. After mobbing through the cluster that is Chelsea Market, Rachel and I decided on bagel sandwiches, and then I met up with the rest of the ladies and we headed back to the apartment for a well-deserved rest. I say rest, but it was really about 30 minutes of laying in bed on our phones and then starting to get ready for dinner!

Cleo Restaurant New York
Our amazing photographer, Courtney, was so excited when she heard we were dining at Cleo because she’d dined previously at their Las Vegas location and LOVED it. I absolutely understood why because literally everything I ate or drank while dining with them was delicious. Standouts were the Passionfruit Margarita, Roasted Cauliflower, Lamb Shwarma, and the Brussels Sprouts. OMG the Brussels Sprouts… I’ve never tasted anything like them and am currently sitting here craving them. If you go to Cleo, GET THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS, OK?

After dinner, a few of us headed to a local rooftop bar for a bit of drinking and a whole lot of dancing. I’ll admit, I probably overdid it this night. A couple cocktails and glasses of wine at dinner, and a couple of cocktails at the bar/club had me feeling pretty toasty. We cabbed it back to the apartment and crashed hard.

Alright, so I was initially going to make this post include days 3&4 but they were both pretty full so the rest of my trip will be coming in the next post!
Hope you enjoyed following along, babes!

Trend Spin Linkup – Summer Dresses

August 1, 2018

This post contains affiliate links. All thoughts/opinions are my own.

Dress / Amazon // Necklaces c/o Ettika // Sandals (old) / Target

Happy Wednesday, loves! I’m writing to you from Central Ohio, which I’m starting to think might be the bipolar weather capital of the world ? We’ve seen bright, sunshiny days, along with rain, wind, and fog, all over the course of a couple of days. No snow just yet, but I’m sure it’s coming! It still hasn’t prevented me from breaking out some of my summer dresses, which happens to be the Trend Spin Linkup topic this week. A summer dress can be interpreted as many things, but I think bright solids and bold prints, especially in lightweight fabrics at midi and maxi length, are my top picks. I’m sharing below some of my favorites for summer dresses, along with introducing you to two lovely ladies who are sharing their take on the trend.
