Coming from Chicago, I’ve always loved a versatile suede jacket and this one is no exception. I love it paired with a lace romper and pumps. (These flats from Nordstrom also work if you can’t walk in heels all day). Thankfully, if in between sizes, Nordstrom’s customer service is unparalleled, and returns are swift and easy. I just wish Southern California gave me more reasons to wear all my favorite jackets.

Thank you Nordstrom for partnering on this post.

  Off to pizza to celebrate the hubs before we leave for New York. But first, below are 5 patchwork faves from around the web. If patchwork booties aren’t reason enough to give this trend a whirl, the fact that it only requires minimal styling with a denim shirt or white tee should do the trick. Or in this case, I paired it with a dress vest. Violà, weekend ready!

 I just found the sweetest bow dress under $80. I paired it with an edgy leather jacket and buckle pumps. I plan to wear this ensemble to celebrate the hubs birthday this weekend, which will involve lots of dark chocolate desserts, Chinese food and homemade cards from the kids. All of his favorite things. Oh, and me in the bow dress, of course.  Get the look from NORDSTROM who always pulls off awesome customer service while featuring one-of-a-kind finds – like this dress under $100. I also included other dresses from Nordstrom I like below.

I tend to keep my jewelry minimal (as you may have noticed). So when I’m looking for a watch, I tend to gravitate to simple style and classic colors. Well, the MOVADO Esperanza watch is just that. The Esperanza collection re-launched modern finishes such as a new art deco design, black museum dial, long open vertical links, and best of all, simple design to compliment any outfit of the day. Since you can find me most days in all black or all white, I don’t have to switch up my watch. Classic well-made design is season-less.

There’s nothing like double flare for a dramatic entrance into the weekend. Don’t forget the hat (for bad hair days) and just the right sized weekender. All that’s missing is an Airbnb in San Fran and a trench coat if it rains. The countdown has begun.

Shop the look:

Two options : either this t-shirt bra worn with this lingerie low bra strap NORDSTROM :: OR this low back bustier NORDSTROM

 Although there’s little to no transition in seasons here in SoCal, we’ll be the family pretending with a trip to the pumpkin patch and pumpkin spice lattes. I’m told the latter really works in getting on that “fall mood” despite the 88 degree temps. If you’re wondering how to make this outfit work for legit cooler temps, think long blazer and black booties. Easy as (pumpkin) pie.

We’re off to the beach today to complete our summer bucket list, but firsts things first. I’m showing another way to wear your jean crops a là bow tops. The new proportions for fall are ultra fem and I’m a fan. Taking us from day in night in flowy tops and exposed ankles. If you don’t happen to have cropped jeans, get out your scissors. Happy F r i d a y.

For a while, I wasn’t loving graphic tees. Something changed, and now I have five. I’m liking the way they add a message and casualize the blazer, jean and MIU MIU’s. Here are 5 graphic tees I’m loving:

What were your last google searches?

healthy lunches for kids, bell sleeves, and flights for (NYFW).

How did you start out blogging?

I took selfies and flat lays of outfits over naptime. It was a total creative outlet.

Favorite new discovery?

Clarisonic. I brought home the Mia 3 from New York and I’m obsessed. So are my kids.

Favorite new lip stain that’s 100% pure? 

100% Pure lipstain in pomegranate. It’s been great for my sensitive skin and dry lips!

Most understated wardrobe ESSENTIAL?

The blazer. It’s an instant tummy tuck, face lift to a tired outfit, and fastest way to elevate jeans and loafers. I like this oversize boyfriend version.

What do you like most about your job?

So many things from styling, traveling and to meeting people, but most of all that I get to stay home with my kids and still work in fashion. That’s a dream come true.

When do you go back to New York? 

In less than 2 weeks for fashion week. I need to catch up on sleep now! Yeah right.

Fall’s most wanted?

Anything leather, suede or chunky knit. Stay tuned for more fall faves.
