I traveled home to Cali for Easter and couldn't have been more excited to embrace the hot hot heat gracing my hometown! This outfit was the perfect fit for our outside celebration that we hosted at our home filled with egg tosses, incredible wine, and even better company. Hope you're enjoying this transition into spring! xo

Hope Your Day is Filled with Fireworks!

Happy Fourth of July!

Yesterday was a glorious 83 degrees! N and I spent the morning out in the burbs, basking in the sun. He, playing baseball, and I, witnessing the action while tanning. Later we met up with some of my faves for margaritas, shuffleboard, and topped the evening off with Molly Moon's. I may not be feeling the best at the moment, however the sun is still shining so I'm a happy girl. Above is what I wore for our Cinco de Drinko libations :) Happy Monday!

Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow, I thought I'd take the opportunity to dress in a "precursor" outfit of sorts. I came up with two looks using this sweater, but the other is to debut on a different day, as it's a bit too glitz and glam for the office ;) Happy Almost-Hearts Day! xo

Pajama Party!

Thought I would take this opportunity to share some additional photos from my pajama + photobooth party a few weeks back. As we start slowing down from the holiday season, it's important to look back and reminisce about the good times rather than the stressful ones involving shopping, credit card debt, and smuggling your cat onto airplanes . . .

I put these small goodie bags together for my girls . . . the $1 section

at Target seriously rocks my world sometimes.

B and Mac gifted these adorable wine bottle accessories to all the girls . . .

just take a guess at which one is mine ;)

I scored these mustache and lip swizzle sticks a few months ago
at Target . . . I just knew they'd come in handy some day!

  Looks like someone is eyeing those olives!

I think B might have one for best jammies

Special thanks to my girls for making this pajama party the best ever!

Christmas Day was a day for fur and plaid. My cousins kept referring to me as their golf caddy because of these pants, however they admitted that they liked them- so I put up with the jokes. I have been in the market for a fur vest for about the past year. When I spotted this one in the BR window, I knew it was just the one that I had been waiting for. Sure enough, Santa brought it to me this year and I could not be more thrilled. It is uber soft, the perfect length, and is totally toasty warm :) Cheers!

I got seriously lucky with this outfit. I have been lusting after this skirt FOR. EV. ER. When I ordered it, it was backordered until after Christmas. Last Tuesday, I received an email from Anthro that my order was on its way and by Friday, it was sitting on my doorstep- ready for me to scoop up and take with me to California that evening. I was overjoyed. And even more thrilled when I put it on. Love at first sight I tell ya. This blouse was a major sale score at Gap last week and proved to be the perfect pairing for this skirt . . . which created the ultimate Christmas Eve outfit :) I hope your holiday season has been splendid! xo 

Merry {Mustache} Christmas

Merry Christmas to my fabulous readers!

I hope Santa brings you all that you

wished for and more :)

Pajama Party {Sneak Peek}

Assorted swizzle sticks and paper straws: Target + gifted

Last Friday, I held a Photobooth + Pajama Party at my apartment for my most favorite girlfriends. Everyone was required to sport some festive pjs and partake in wine-drinking, secret santa-ing, and ornament exchanging. I decided to create my own photobooth, working off an idea I gathered from Taylor Sterling, Founder + Creative Director of Glitter Guide. For her wedding- her photo backdrop consisted of pink with gold polka dots, and I thought- what fun it would be to create a Christmas-themed one of the same design! Heather over at My Big Balloon collaborated with me at the last of minutes (props to you, girl!) to come up with a fabulous holiday balloon for the occasion. Here is a sneak peek at my pajama party!
