Blush Crush

February 26, 2017

I’m obsessing over everything blush right now!! I’m seeing it everywhere and on everything! I love the delicate springish pink it is before all the brights with the summer. Great transition color! It gives me just a tad of color with this boring winter. Last night I wore a blush ruffle maternity top (similar non-maternity here or here) that I LOVE with some black jeans. Flirty and feminine :) So pretty!

I just love the color. Especially paired with gold or rose gold (like this watch or bracelet). Here’s some of my blush crushes out there right now! So many greats out there in fashion, accessories, and home! That pink tassel lamp is like, sooo fabulous!

AND! I’m 26 weeks pregnant today! So that maternity shirt was a must! I’m in that stage where oversized things are making me look fat instead of pregnant (but still sooooo comfortable!)! Tighter shirts are making me feel a little better about myself ;) Plus, can’t resist ruffles and showing off the cute belly before it’s gigantic!

Get Cozy | Favorite Knits

December 6, 2016

Umb, BRRRRR, it was CHILL-Y today. That wind was unbearable! Makes me want to just stay warm and cozy inside by the fire all day. But, when you have to get one kid to preschool and the other to a playdate, time to cozy up in my favorite knits and buckle through the wind!

I’m loving hats this season. They’re so easy to just put on and hide my undone hair in the mornings as I’m running out the door. A way to look kind of cute when I’m really not looking cute at all ;)

There are so many lovely knits out right now. Knits are so cozy and warm and I want a million knit hats and sweaters! My favorite color right now is anything plum, I love the pop of color on the beanie hats with my gray winter coat. Or that emerald one is pretty fabulous too! Love me some green!

And we can’t forget about cozy knit sweaters! They can be dressed up for a night out with black pants or just daytime casual with jeans or leggings (even cozier!). And again, really loving the light pink colors, lovely and feminine for winter.

Time to shop and get cozy in some favorite knits!

gloves || plum | black | blue | red

sweaters || light pink | cream | ruffle pink | colorblock | pink


My favorite is that rose hat and ruffle pink sweater! Both are so pretty!

So make sure to stay warm and stay classy San Diego cozy!

Fall Style | Beige or Bold

September 26, 2016

Fall is here! I seriously looked in my closet yesterday with the cool breeze in the air, and felt like I had NOTHING! I loved oversized everything last year since I had just had a baby, and so this year, I’m going to try to be a bit more fashionable instead of trying to hide the dreaded post-partum baby bump that never really goes away #amiright But I still can’t deny the oversized trend! Haha! Soo had to include it :) This fall I’ve seen so many great outfits already! Here are some of my fall pics – loving the beige trend, but I never turn down a bold style! The military green is so hot again this fall!

fall style 2016

Beige | bootie | knit sweater | bomber jacket | jeans | bag | off-the-shoulder sweater
Bold | black bootie | brown bootie | animal print handbag | cardigan | trousers | sweater


I think my favorite item is that off-the-shoulder beige sweater. It looks sooo soft and delicate with the off-the-shoulder look. And give me all the chunky oversized sweaters still! That green one has four other colors and I basically want them all, but the mauve and green are my favorites! And those trousers look so comfortable! Haven’t ever worn trousers really, but I’m seeing them all over lately.

I’m also loving the long cardigan style (like this) and of course I always love a bootie. Ponchos are popular too (like this). Just pretty excited about everything here! What’s your favorite? And how do you guys feel about that sherpa bomber jacket? I kinda love it! And man does it look cozy!

Happy shopping!

Back to School

August 25, 2016

Ivy starts preschool this fall! I’ve been SO LUCKY to get to spend this last year with her staying home, but I am excited to get her into something instead of relying on play dates all the time to keep us both entertained ;) She starts September 6th and she is so excited! We’ve been talking about school and behavior, because, well, my previous job was a teacher for eight years, so I’ve been telling her about teachers, and school, and all that fun stuff! She is pretty anxious!

I have already been seeing tons of pictures online about the kids’ “first day of school,” and I have to start thinking of ideas and what she is going to wear and the picture we are going to take! I remember this being SUCH a big deal as a kid and teenager, back-to-school shopping, filling my binder with organized mechanical pencils and gel pens and pretty folders, and looking all cute for the boys at my first day back, haha! Remember those days?! Kinda miss that! Well not looking good for the boys, but all the fun new school supplies! I was obsessed! A great pen still gets me :) Anyways! Ivy doesn’t need to look cute for dem boys yet, but we can start out with clothes and a backpack first! And OMG, the backpacks out there, GAH!!! 💔

Here’s some back to school inspiration, holding back the tears! ;)

And now what to do for “THE PICTURE.” I’ve been seeing tons of chalkboard ideas out there and those are soo cute! This one is cute, has a ton of info. Or this one is more simple, kinda like that. Or, if you have great handwriting, go for it and do the writing yourself! I just took a handwriting class and I might actually do this, if I get brave! Might copy these printables. Love this handwriting!

But I think I’m loving most, are letter boards! Look at this picture from @letterfolkco – LOVING THIS! Plus you can use the board afterwards for funny or uplifting sayings. Their insta feed is so funky!

So many fun choices!! Either way, it’ll be very proud MOMent for me and Daddy! Our little girl is growing up. Smarter and smarter (and sassier!) each day! :) We love you IVY!

Stay tuned for pictures!
