If there’s one trend that’s not going anywhere this spring, it’s everything off-the-shoulder, and for good reason. The adorable options are endless. And until recently, I looked around at all the shoulder-baring gals with envy because I HATE strapless bras. As in, can’t stand ’em, never found one that fit right. Until now. This one from Wacoal fits perfectly, stays put, and comes in A LOT of sizes. (Busty girls rejoice!) It’s nothing crazy or fancy, just a good, quality convertible bra that you can wear with everything. So here I am, joining the shoulder-baring girls, and life is good. Because how adorable is this little floral Wayf dress? Too cute to pass up. Hope everyone is having a great week!
Happy Friday, friends! Anyone else ready to cartwheel into the weekend? (*Raises hand.) After three days back on my home turf after New York Fashion Week, I’m ready for a relaxing weekend and maybe a nap or two, interrupted only for the occasional online shopping. There’s a crap-ton of sales going on right now, and while the winter finds are killer, there are so many equally great for spring things. From sandals and heels to pastel bags and pretty little two-piece sets, there are so many great deals on pieces that’ll take you right into spring. And if you’re in Southern California, that means now. So happy shopping, and even better, happy weekend, everyone!
It’s that time of year again: New York Fashion Week is here, and I’m so excited to head to New York today for the fashion, friends, and feasting. But before I take off to what’s sure to be a FREEZING (but fun) week, I’m recapping last weekend’s getaway with Eric to Palm Springs. I’ll start by saying that we LOVE Palm Springs. We usually make our way there every few months or so, and we’ve tried out a few different hotels. This time we switched things up and stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Golf Resort, and we had a blast. (Can you really go to Palm Springs and have a bad time? Maybe in July when you’re, like, melting.) The entire place just had a massive renovation, so it’s like staying in a brand new hotel.
We checked in on Friday and immediately headed down to the pool. I mean, it was 80 degrees in February – don’t waste any time, just go to the pool! The pool area was huge and luckily pretty quiet, a much welcomed contrast to some of the loud and overcrowded pool scenes around town. Hey, I love a good pool party, but sometimes you just want a little lounge chair nap, #AMIRIGHT? Our room was spacious and nice with a balcony that looked out over the pool, golf course, and mountains – perfect for a glass of wine before dinner. Downtown Palm Springs was just a short drive or Uber ride away, so we headed there for dinner.
On Saturday we ordered room service breakfast which is pretty much my favorite reason to ever stay in a hotel. Breakfast in bed in my robe? Yes, please. A facial at the spa kicked off my day, and another relaxing afternoon by the pool and a walk around the grounds finished it off. We left on Sunday wishing we didn’t have to get back for that pesky Super Bowl, or maybe that was just me. Overall though, it was an amazing weekend getting some much-needed quiet time in the desert, and we can’t thank the DoubleTree enough for such a great pool and spa, friendly staff, huge grounds to wander, and amazing views.
Recently I got to accompany the cabi team to their annual #cabiScoop event in San Diego. It was basically the most fun runway show you can imagine with the entire crowd clapping, cheering and going nuts over each new runway look. It was the unveiling of cabi’s spring collection, and the audience was filled with cabi stylists who would be selling the pieces. The show and whole night were so much fun, and the spring collection is really good. So many great colors and prints, flattering cuts, and classic staples. This poncho is probably my favorite piece and is so versatile for spring. The boyfriend jeans are easy and comfortable, and the tee will definitely be overused these next few months. Check out the full collection here, and stay tuned for more pieces coming to the blog soon. Hope everyone has a great start to the week!
Hooray, Hurrah, it’s Friday, people! Let your crazy hair down, and take your bra off because it’s time to relax. There’s pretty much no better relaxation to me than getting my hair done, and this week I did just that. I’m in a weird, in-between phase (between extensions, that is) with my toddler mane, so there’s that. But lucky me, my go-to hair gal for a blonde refresh Tera just opened up her brand spankin’ new salon TReSs Apothecary in the Lido Marina. (This area, once it’s finally built and open, will be my favorite place in the world, I already know. SO many fun shops and restaurants coming!) Tera’s space is minimal but oh-so-cozy and sits right on the water. Because who doesn’t want to look out into the marina while they’re getting coiffed? *Insert hand raise emoji. Plus you’ll want to buy every product in the joint. I mean, I’m trying to move in. And about this look. I recently stopped into Joie and went a little bananas over their sale section. The deals, guys, the deals. I made it out with this faux layered sweater top (because actual layers get messy) and a hat for my in-between mane before this blazer almost pulled me back for more. But I made it out. And I’m stoked for the weekend ahead. Eric and I will be enjoying a little stay-cay in Laguna Beach at The Pacific Edge Hotel, and I’m ready to…what’s that magic word? Relax. Hope everyone has the best weekend!
Recently I’ve gone a little stripe-crazy, and more specifically, striped t-shirt dress crazy. I’ve picked up, like, three striped t-shirt dresses in the last couple of weeks, and this $11 version is hands-down my favorite. (It’s admittedly a smidge short, so I wear little lace shorts underneath.) It’s crazy versatile and can pretty much be worn a different way everyday of the week, so today I’m switching it around four ways to suit any mood. From a cozy poncho to tomboy plaids to sleek over-the-knee boots, the pairings are endless. The question is, how would you wear yours? Happy Friday!
Looking for a new pair of skinnies to add to your wardrobe this season? How about a pair that’s under $20? Seriously. I recently scored these Simply Stretch Modern Skinny jeans that are part of the Signature by Levi Strauss & Co.™ collection at Walmart, and they’re a total steal. (And with the holidays, like, here, couldn’t we all use a good deal right now?) They fit like a glove (I sized down one size) and are SO comfortable for all-day or night wear. They’re made of premium, super-stretchy “Simply Stretch” denim and somehow manage to keep their shape all day. (No saggy jeans here.) They’re available in regular, long, and short sizes and come in four classic washes. I’m thinking that a clean, black pair is next on my list because at this price, why stop at just one pair? Well, besides the fact that I have absolutely zero space for new jeans in my closet currently, but that’s fine. Out with the old and in with the new just in time for all of those holiday commitments that you forgot you made. And hey, if you have to attend your Aunt Margaret’s annual ugly sweater party, you might as well show up in a fresh pair of skinnies, right?

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Our feasting begins in T-minus 30 minutes, and I am ready, Freddie. We’re spending the day today surrounded by family and good friends in Louisiana and way too much food, and I’m reminded just how lucky we are. It’s been an amazing year so far, and I’m so excited for what’s to come. As much as I’d like to share some bundled-up Thanksgiving look today, it’s just not realistic for me, so a mini dress and booties will do. (Luckily this one has a little extra room for turkey and dressing, and it’s on major sale.) Hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving day surrounded by people they love because really, isn’t that what it’s all about?
Hip, hip, hooray for Friday! This week was beyond busy, and I spent most of it up in LA filming a couple of holiday videos with my favorite retailer. (Can’t wait to share with you guys!) Shooting wrapped just in time for me to make it home for my birthday yesterday, and I had the best day. Before leaving LA, I hit the Rebecca Minkoff sample sale, and it was crazy good. Seriously, if you’re in LA, GO. Don’t walk, run. (Details below.) I scored an amazing leather jacket for myself and a few bags for Christmas gifts. The leather jacket accompanied me to dinner last night at Bayside with my main squeeze, and the food was delicious. We rounded out the night with a fire in the fireplace and wine in hand. Thanks so much for all the birthday love yesterday! Now the weekend is here, and I can think of nothing better than a cozy cardigan and even cozier boots and doing nothing at home. Wishing everyone a relaxing weekend!
If you follow this blog or perhaps my Instagram, you may notice I’ve got a little thing for plaid. If you see me on the weekends, you’ll know that it’s more of a BIG thing for plaid. Huge, really. I live for a comfy, cozy plaid button-down paired with denim, and to me, it’s the ultimate down-time uniform. After a couple of days of playing tourist around New Orleans with Jenn (that recap, still to come), I couldn’t wait to slip into this soft-as-hell Wayf plaid complete with the coziest booties. Because “slipping into something more comfortable” doesn’t have to be sweats. Hope everyone is having a great week!
