What I’m Wearing* Button down ocean/sage maxi dress {which admittedly looks and feels a bit like a long night gown – but I’m okay with that because it feels so good on} I found it at a little shop on 3rd Street in Santa Monica called Brandy Melville which smells just fabulous. I picked up …
Transitioning into Fall: Gray Hematite Glitter Nails
I’m so in love with this fun little nail trend that I may just use every single one of the 24 glitter glues in the Martha Stewart collection. Since it’s not quite Fall yet, but getting darker earlier *sadface* I wanted nails that were not exactly dark and not exactly light either. Gray was an …

If you follow me on Instagram you already know about this because I shared it there see photos below but the other night I slept on twisted buns to get these BIG CURLS just to switch it up a little which the husband LOVES. In fact he said “You know, you could do that MORE …
Falling on my head like a memory
What I’m Wearing* Marc New York Military inspired short sleeve shirtdress … from a MyHabit sale which came with it’s own belt but I opted for my own. Also note, the fabric looks cotton but it’s very smooth and comfortable. * Vintage belt with round studs and gems {which I think were originally called “circus …
Hot Under the Collar : DIY Fancy Collars
Collars & neck accessories are on trend right now… actually, they have been for quite some time and I just love the extra detail they add to a shirt or outfit. So fun for Fall. In 2008 I made a little black lace collar {seen below on the red shirt} and listed it for sale …
This. Is. No. Ordinary Love, No Ordinary Love.
It’s a week after our 5 year wedding anniversary staycation at the beach and I’m missing the ocean and cool beach weather more than I normally do after leaving the beach. It’s just such a different lifestyle, walking everywhere and seeing the infinite blue waves every day… though a vacation mindset doesn’t hurt. As I …

Bubble Gum Pink & Silver Glitter Accent Nails
I’m going to be completely honest when I say I painted my nails these colors because I knew they would match my engagement and wedding rings AND the new anniversary bands. Yes, it was a cheeseball move but I actually loved the way they looked. I found a seriously old Wet n’ Wild pink in …
Back to the Future NIKE Mag Shoes, Great Scott!
This is just too amazingly awesome not to share with you. And honestly, I’d have no clue of their existence if my husband wasn’t such an IGN frequenter and minutes after absorbing the information came running enthusiastically into my office and took over my computer to show me. But seriously, how long have we been …
Poolside: My Go-to Waterfront Outfit
If you caught a glimpse of me out by the pool in San Diego at BlogHer’11, you may have already seen this outfit… and I wore it again over the weekend in Santa Monica with the husband. It’s an easy and {what I think} adorable poolside or beachfront ensemble that I just throw on for …
Staycation: The Oceana Hotel in Santa Monica
The Oceana Hotel in Santa Monica is by far our favorite place to get away for a mini staycation in Los Angeles. Not only is it a phenomenal hotel with a fantastic staff & customer service, gorgeous suites and an amazing view, it’s literally 12 miles from our house. But as you know or may …
My 10 Minute Daytime Makeup Routine… Video
Like most things involved with lady maintenance, I’m pretty lazy {see dark roots} and when it comes to makeup, I’m no different. I like one-step and double duty products because I don’t want to spend more than 10 minutes applying a daytime look. Also, I tend to run late as it is so anything I …
