Loving Life in the Golden State

Pink Denim and Platforms

Oh, hi! It's been awhile since my last post. I wanted to get in the habit of posting consistently twice a week, but you know, sometimes life gets busy. I spent the weekend doing lots of chores that I've been putting off for awhile, and still didn't get to everything I had planned (shoe organization is next on my list). But anyway, I'm here now to share this adorbs Maje dress. It's a simple dress but the cutouts and pink denim add a little bit of fun. I wore it with these crazy Stella McCartney platform sneakers. Stella McCartney is ridiculously expensive, I'll be honest, but I love that all of her products are totally vegan, so no animals were harmed in the name of fashion. If you're not ... read more

Floral Jumpsuit

It seems the weather has turned sour again (insert grumpy face here). We had a gloomy weekend and even got some rain, which I didn't mind too much since it gave me an excuse to be extra lazy and stay in my sweats. But now that the work week has begun again, the gloom is just getting in my way as it's too chilly to even sit outside on my lunch break. All this gloom has me itching to go on vacation. You all know I love California but I feel like I'm going a little stir crazy here! I need a change of scenery. Any suggestions? In the meantime I'm just going to reminisce on a perfect weekend we had a few weeks ago when I got to wear this adorable floral culotte jumpsuit. It's by ... read more

Stripes and the Wilderness

Happy Friday! I don't know about you but I am so ready for the weekend. I think it's supposed to be a little gloomy and chilly so I don't really have any plans, but I'm okay with that. A weekend to just relax and catch up on some reading and TV shows sounds really nice. Maybe I'll even bake something if I'm feeling ambitious... I recently found this striped t-shirt dress by Splendid and thought it was so cute and flattering. I love the length of the sleeves and the fact that the dress hits right above my knees. It's also SO comfortable, I could wear it for dayyysss! So comfortable in fact, I wore it to go explore the wilderness. Just kidding, I was actually just on the side of a busy ... read more

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is less than two weeks away! How did that happen? Mother's Day is a time to celebrate your mother (she did give you life, after all), your grandmother, or any woman who has been like a mother to you. It's a time to take the opportunity to get something special for our moms to let them know we appreciate them. Have you thought about what to get your mom yet? If not, don't worry I've put together a list of some ideas for you. "In the Company of Women" is a great coffee table book all about inspirational women and the advice they have for other women. Often times our moms are the most inspirational women in our lives and are who we turn to when we need advice. While I'm sure ... read more

Pineapple, Pineapple, Pineapple

You guys! How amazing is this pineapple dress by Alice and Olivia?! It's such a fun print with all of the pineapples, but the classic sheath style makes me feel so ladylike! You could dress this up with a heel like this one, this one, this one, or this one, or keep it a little more casual with sandals or flats like these, these, these, or these. There's also a skirt version of the dress, if you don't want to go all out with the print. I also found this pineapple tumbler (more affordable option here) that just makes me want to be poolside or on a tropical beach somewhere. Sunglasses are Le Specs.   What is everyone up to this weekend? I plan to do a whole lot of ... read more
