The temps are getting warmer and it’s almost festival season! Reid and I celebrated it prematurely over mushroom and truffle oil pizza in Highland Park, LA. Yum. If you’re also heading over to the festival, HERE is a great site for some hair-style inspiration because let’s face it, festivals are made for rockin’ hair styles. And yeah, they’re also totally made for new dresses. Below are four of my favorite festival ready frocks (say it fast!), but sizes are limited!

1. wrap mini with a festival flow FREE PEOPLE

2. floral mini done right FREE PEOPLE

3. cold shoulder dress ASOS

4. suede romper ASOS (under $40!)

And don’t forget the knee high lace up sandal under $60

Margaret and Katherine Kleveland had a mission to provide responsibly-sourced high fashion pieces at attainable prices, which seems almost like a misnomer. But they manage to pull it off, with most of their gorgeous items under $200. Their vibe is very California-cool with loose, flattering pieces that fit most, if not all, body types. I’m already eyeing THIS blouse. They also sell children’s ponchos that are sure to be drool-worthy on any toddler. And I kind of love supporting moms doing what they love, especially if they are genius at it. DÔEN HERE

Many thanks to Brandon at Rhetoric Photography

{fashion} Børn sandals

I always gravitate toward nude sandals and these comfy wedges from Børn are no exception. I brought them on our weekend excursion to Manhattan Beach and they were perfect for the beach and walking around town. I prefer them styled with an oversize tunic and cutoffs. The nude color actually elongates the leg and I can definitely chase my almost three-year-old in them. While I can’t promise these will slow your toddler down, you can at least catch up to him without sacrificing your style. Who doesn’t want to look brunch ready? I also like these and this pair. What’s your favorite? Check them out on: www.bornshoes.com.

{fashion} M.Gemi

by Shalice Noel March 7, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

If you haven’t heard of M.Gemi, it’s a hidden gem of a shoe company, handmade with beautiful craftsmanship in Italy and sold direct online without a middleman to keep prices fair. I bought my first pair of M.Gemi suede boots a couple months ago and was impressed right off the bat with the gorgeous presentation, right down to the personalized tag. As you can imagine, the suede boots were buttery soft and perfect. And because they’re brilliant too, they introduce a new style of shoe every Monday for those of us with obsessive shoe habits … which is probably bad for my wallet but extremely good for my shoe fetish. Speaking of, I’m obsessed with these white Proprio pumps. They are terrific with a pleated skirt or shorts and a blouse. The latter seems to be my weekend look on repeat. Many thanks to M. Gemi for elevating it. Ps. These are limited edition – so get yours before they’re sold out!

Since we’ve been too tired (READ EXHAUSTED) for date night, we planned date morning. So brilliant. We came back re-energized to tackle the hot chocolate mix spilled in the girls closet, the missing gum we got from Costco the other night, and the fights that broke out after the before mentioned missing gum. Hence the day date. What better way to celebrate you and your man getting away for avocado salad and killer oatmeal cookies than in lace, flats and a soft denim jacket? I’m already planning next Saturday’s day date, and maybe squeezing in a little work if the hubs is up to it. Hope you had a lovely weekend!

One of my favorite ways to transition from winter to spring is a camel coat! I love how flattering it is with most colors. Here, I paired it with an oversize lace top from Veronica Beard and white tennis skirt. For my northern readers, a great pair of white jeans could replace the skirt. Perfect for upcoming bridal showers or brunching. Speaking of, there are so many places I want to try for brunch here in LA. Send over any recommendations. happy weekend!

I think it’s safe to say that LA winter is officially over. These past couple days have been more like spring, messing us up like crazy. My kids keep asking if we can go to the pool. So, if you’re curious, this blush trench is pretty amazing and adapts to both spring and summer. It even manages winter, if you have the luck of living in California. So, it’s also probably safe to say that you’ll be seeing it again.
