Today I’m sharing some really simple summer staples to stock up now. I always love a white top (it looks great with jeans), a small bag, and nude sandals that never go out of style. Here’s I’m wearing flats which I’ll probably wear ever other day this summer. What are your faves?

Recently the hubby and I took to the skies for a quick trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico. It was a glorious four days of beautiful weather, a gorgeous hotel, and flat-out relaxing. As it truly was a romantic vacation (seriously, just google the place), I brought along some super fun outfits, but also a new scent. New scents always make everything feel different right? So for that date night glow, I tried Terre de Lumière, the newest scent from L’Occitane made with Bergamot, Ambrette seed, and subtle floral notes. I’d definitely say it is a more sophisticated scent, rather than flirty or floral. I’m picky when it comes to fragrances; they can’t have too much floral and must have a healthy dose of musk. Well, this fit the bill. Honestly, I’ve always been a fan of L’Occitane. Throughout high school, I always used their shea butter hand creme after my dad and I would work in the garden and that scent always brings back so many good memories. So when L’Occitane asked me to try their newest scent, I gladly obliged. Try it for yourself. It’s the perfect blend of sophistication and casual date night. For me, it is now the smell of romance, the beach in Riviera Maya, and beautiful vacation memories. It really was the perfect addition to a perfect break.

It’s our last week of school before spring break and what a relief. While I love bonding with B while his siblings are at school, I’m super excited to let the kids ease into the morning and not have to make that 8am drive. We’re excited to welcome my in-laws, so be prepared for lots of date-nights and going-out-for-ice-cream kinda nights. I love how versatile this top is – great over leggings or jeans, tied or tucked, dressy or casual. See here how I styled embroidered jeans. Happy Tuesday!

St Patrick’s Day marks our 10th wedding anniversary. How is it possible that a decade just came and went? More on that later. Meanwhile, I’m loving choker tees and this one is no exception. It’s soft, under $40, and can be dressed up or down, no necklace necessary, though I wore one out of habit. It also looks great with white denim for spring. What’s your go-to tee? Also, thank you to all of you who entered the sunglasses giveaway! All 5 winners will be notified via email.

While ‘Spring forward’ is more of a rude awakening losing one hour, Spring colors are more than welcome. Think pinks, reds, and even floral. When in doubt, pair similar tones like pink, red, mauve, with jeans. This is the perfect outfit for lunch with a friend or date night. Trust, me, you’ll be seeing more of this blush trench. See another blush look here. Happy Monday, hope you had a lovely weekend.

Happy Friday! Here are 6 belts I’m loving now. They give that necessary pop to an outfit and I’m loving them over sweaters, dresses, and tunics. Sometime a little waist jewelry is all you need to pull an outfit together. A good belt adds structure to a loose tunic and gold detail to an otherwise neutral outfit. Because few looks such as a belt, jeans, sweater and trench pull off laissez-faire so well. How do you wear yours?

Some days – scratch that, most days I want the easiest outfit I can wear to run errands- sneak in a meeting and make it on time for school pick up. Yes, most days the latter is a miracle. I must admit, there are also the delightful parts of being a mom of four – each child has a distinct humor, character and it’s so fun when they make you laugh and cover you in hugs! I mean where else can you get all that under one roof? I’m wearing all black, my fave ripped denim jacket, black boots and a market bucket bag to hold flowers and my credit card. I mean, what else does a girl need?

I’m always inspired by the million ways to style a white shirt, from pleated skirts to tuxedo pants, it all works. And this one is no exception thanks to attention to details like zip closure and arm slits. On that note, please join me Tuesday, March 7, at Karen Millen Store Santa Monica, located at: Santa Monica Place, 395 Santa Monica Place, Space 164, Santa Monica, CA 90401, from 6-9pm, with my talk starting at 7pm. I’ll be hosting an event discussing the versatility of the white shirt and answering your hardest style questions. Bring a friend, I’d love to meet you!

Years ago, I borrowed my mom’s gorgeous traditional Portuguese embroidered vest from her closet. It was chic, bohemian, and super cool for its old time traditional flavor. Recently, I spotted this lacy embroidered crop top and it reminded me of that very vest from long ago. In fact, I totally feel like I’m channeling her seasoned taste and European heritage when I wear this piece. And what better time to wear it than festival season? Who’s going to Coachella? I’m not sure what spells music and desert air more than lace, cold shoulder and cropped. Don’t forget to stock up on extra long white jeans (because I almost always stain them), and round sunnies. Countdown to desert air and endless tunes starts NOW.

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.
