In my personal opinion, everyone needs a chill, off-the-shoulder dress that works for both errands (in gladiator sandals) and date night (with a wedge). Sometimes one needs practical and efficient, as well as fashionable. I’ve been budgeting my time by shooting looks once a week, writing copy when Reid is home and posting daily here at the blog. It’s been giving me more time to make dinner and play Legos with my little guys before they leave for school next month! Be sure to sign up via email to see what I’m working on next.

“One is never overdressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress,” said the one and only Karl Lagerfeld. I think the same goes for the red dress. That pop of color not only always looks great, but it is invigorating to wear. Think of it as the modern power suit, suitable with a wrap heel or black gladiator sandals. And the great Anna Wintour reminds us that “If you can’t be better than your competition, just dress better.” For me, it’s just a great date night dress that involves little thinking and huge results. Now, talk about invigorating.

This dress combines all my faves: white, embroidery and off the shoulder. Great for a fast one-piece outfit that works glammed up or down.

IMG_6055It’s also my Mother’s Day dress stand in with a leather jacket resting on my shoulder and black sandals. A chic laid back look for a much need mama’s day off. Well, I’m at least hoping. So excited to spend next Sunday with my five favorites who made me a mama to begin with. So thankful.

Style note: it’s all about the laces and gladiators, ladies. You heard it here first.

Breezy light chiffon proves the best kind of ventilation for that dry desert air. And looking effortlessly chic? Well, that’s a bonus along with crazy wind blown hair. I paired the dress with a wrap heel that happens to go with everything. And yes, planning our next trip to the desert stat.

Thinking to give ourselves a little vacation mixed with desert air, we attempted 12 hours in Palm Springs. Well, two hours later we (being 4 adults and 4 children) stiffly rolled out of one SUV. At that point, the Siberian Desert even sounded good. The kids frolicked, the adults laughed with delight, and yes, the scenery was breathtaking. I think I even managed to nab a picture. Together with the breakfast burritos and ricotta pancakes at Kings Highway, it was an all-around success. And lest you wonder, I wore blush, spring’s hottest hue. I really should limit my purchasing of blush items but it’s so flattering to most skin tones – mine being olive- that I don’t see an end in sight.

Nothing says spring like blush and lace up. Here I paired blush with more blush in a light pink blazer and the husband’s leather jacket. I love Nordstrom’s selection of spring dresses. I always order a couple because their customer service is awesome and I can always make returns without a glitch. And this spring they have a great collection of blush and lace! Weirdly enough, I used to hate pink but now I can’t get enough of it. (Maybe it was the pink bedroom I had growing up??) Regardless, everyone needs a little pink dress (LPD) in their wardrobe this spring, and a husband who lends his leather jacket is a major plus. Shop the post below:

Over charcuterie and brunch on a rainy 60 degree day in LA, Revolve kicked off their collaboration with darling designer For Love & Lemons. Lauren Yerkes of Revolve said, “We have created a strong partnership together over the years, and this capsule is a reflection of both brands taking FL&L’s most loved silhouettes to the next level.” How so, you ask? You can expect to see a mix of ruffles and Hawaiian flavors, corals, espadrilles and drool worthy lace-up heels. And there we have it, a marriage of flirty and fun, sophisticated and edgy. Go see the collection for yourself HERE
