Happy Friday! Here in the U.S. it’s Memorial Day weekend, so we’ll be striking up the BBQs. Since I am usually the appointed resident “wine connoisseur” amongst my friends, I thought I’d pull together a quick list of a few supermarket wines I’ve been enjoying lately, as a handy reference guide for your own BBQs this weekend or all summer long…
I could pretend that the upcoming Memorial Day weekend has me in summer mode, but let’s be honest, I could be in summer mode all year long. Lucky for me, some of the newest arrivals over at Spanish retailer Zara Home are sustaining my sunkissed delusions with tropical touches for my warmer weather decor. Let’s go travel-destination-style today, shall we?
My two favorite looks from Coachella were from models Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr — these moms rocked it! I especially love the way Ms. Kerr punked out a palm tree tee with black leather shorts and biker boots. Being a Hawaii/Cali girl, the palm tree holds a special place in my heart, so it’s no wonder I’ve got a soft spot for this new trend taking over my favorite shopping sites. Get the look for yourself in just about any colorway, a little or a lot…
Show me an open-back dress — especially in a bright solid hue — and I just can’t help myself. Loving all the easy breezy options for summer, for a warm night out on the town or a day strolling around town. Loose fitting and showing just enough skin is my preference, but there’s an abundance of cuts and colors for every excuse and occasion…
Although my body this week has been under the weather, my mind has definitely been traveling to warmer weather. My girlfriends and I are planning our next escape (Vegas? Cabo? Miami again? Oooh, Miami!) and after seeing such stunning swimwear spreads featuring the one-piece, I gotta say: I could definitely rekindle that flame, especially the deep plunge or crochet. But what do we think: too cougar, or sexy kitten?
I haven’t done an “E List” in quite a while, but what better reason than upcoming Mother’s Day? You know me though, my version is gonna be about putting the sexy in this mama’s day, both in her home and closet, with 10 ideas to take it to the next level…
Happy Friday! Tomorrow I’m off with my little girl to Napa for the weekend to celebrate my dad’s birthday. (I know, I know, Miami, Hawaii, Palm Springs, and now…Napa?!) Believe me, I feel very lucky to have had so many wonderful travel opportunities this year! And planning a trip wardrobe is part of the fun, isn’t it? Here’s what I have in mind for the wee one and me…
Happy Friday! A last minute decision to head out to Palm Springs today for a Harper’s Bazaar party at The Parker, and dinner at my client Workshop Kitchen + Bar! Therefore, I had to pull what I had out of my closet and no time for shopping for something shiny and new. Boo! But I knew I didn’t want to show up at my client’s restaurant looking like I stepped off the lawns, so I’m trying to be smart about it by just changing up my accessories for the evening. I’m a huge fan of the romper — always so versatile and hip! So all in all, it will go a little something like this…
Spring is officially here! You know I’m all about a bargain, so what better way to spruce up your decor for the change of seasons than with a budget buy, I say! I personally love what Target’s been up to lately — always so on trend. A few fun, frugal finds from their latest Threshold collection…
It’s Aloha Friday, and time to pack for Hawaii!
I’ll get to be with my entire family in a beach house for a week, which means lots of lounging and sun time (plus a dinner at Nobu!). So as long as I’ve got my beachwear and a few dresses, I’m good to go…
