New summer items are almost here!

Enjoy!!

I'm excited to launch the new pieces, they are all soo pretty and perfect for summer!  I post on Instagram or Facebook when the pieces are available so choose your social media of choice and follow the shop there!

HAPPY FRIDAY

The weather has changed (for now) in So Cal. and it's finally overcast and hinting at rain, weather that I love! I love to wear sweaters and scarves, boots and leggings and yesterday I got to do just that!! I also treated myself to my favorite peppermint mocha in honor of cozy, snugly weather : )

The weekend is here! For me that means preping on Saturday for my best friends vow renewal/wedding on Sunday where I'm the maid-of-honor. It will be a fun and busy weekend, what are your plans?

Loving my new Tarte palette (sorry about the image rotation lol)

Cheers to all things peppermint!

Have a wonderful weekend!

FALL FASHION INSPIRATION

Even though it's technically Fall, here in Southern Cali it is still soooo hot. I've been itching for the weather to cool so I can wear warm cozy sweaters, boots, and jewel tones. While I wait, I've been collecting outfit ideas that are cool enough for summer but can easily be transformed for warmer weather. Here are a few of my favorites outfits and accesories for the season. Enjoy!

My weekend adventure...What did you guys do?

Marathon shopping at Nordstrom Rack for a new wardrobe.  I was there for 5 hours!! I bought a TON of great pieces, which I'll share more on later.

Toured the farmers market with the boys (Koa & Jasper). I love going to the farmers every weekend.  I'm a big fan of buying locally especially when it comes to produce.  Organic makes it even better!
