I just found these pics of the boys and I playing in the bay from about a month ago while Wayne was still out of town. Both our boys are fairly timid around water (especially River) but I was so impressed to see them going right in to splash around. River stood in the same spot the entire time and watched the water roll over his collection of cars he brought while Wolfie ran up and down the coastline, falling head first in several times, only to pop back up and continue playi

For some reason, I am obsessed with this color combo right now. I never really loved red and black together but it's definitely a big trend right now and after seeing so much inspiration, I am hopping on the train. I have figured a good way to ease myself into this is by adding a pop of tan or white into the mix. It feels less harsh to me and more suited for my aesthetic. Give it a try if you are feeling trendy;) What I'm Wearing Red Blouse: Urban Outfitters (a few months old

Beachin' it up a lot this summer and it feels good. I can't believe it's August! We finally have Wayne home for a few weeks and I am excited to fill our last month before traveling with quality time at home together. Here is a list of summer activities I want to pursue: * More bike rides (if Wolfie gets over his new fear of the trailer) * Juicing in our new juicer! * Paddle boarding through the harbor * U.S. Open of Surfing * Our city's Farmer's Market & Street Fair because

Well, it may be obvious from these photos but one of my favorite movies is Working Girl (here is advice from the movie that is still applicable today). I think playing with shape and volume with an outfit can be really fun and while I don't think I always have the right body type to do that (#shortgirlproblems), sometimes you just have to go for it. On this particularly gloomy day, I paired this oversized, cropped blazer from Stylenanda with a simple camisole, my Levis and my

Loving this warm weather we have been having! I am so excited to basically live at the beach this summer with the boys. I wore this top to KROQ's Weenie Roast this weekend and I think it will be a staple in my summer wardrobe. I have an obsession with apron shirts/dresses and this is my first one! I got these shorts at Zara for our trip to Puerto Rico, thinking they were perfect for throwing on over a swimsuit...HOWEVER, if I were you, I would get a less "distressed" pair bec

I hope everyone had a great Easter! Wayne and I are about to leave on a vacation! Woot woot! But I wanted to quickly post this outfit post before our trip. These photos are from last Wednesday when my sister, Danica and I went out for lunch. Spring was really in the air and I wanted to dress for the occasion. Plus it felt good to get my limbs out there for some Vitamin D while we walked around the Via Lido district in Newport Beach. What I'm Wearing Blouse: Zara Denim Shorts:

On Friday, I went to Fashion Island with my mom, sister, my cousin, her sweet baby girl and little River-cat (Wolfie was home napping). We grabbed lunch, coffee and macaroons and spent a couple hours walking around in the fresh air with the kiddos. For clothes, I went for something comfortable and casual but with a little flair. I started with these Matisse booties. I always get compliments on them, they are comfortable and add a bit of a pop to whatever you wear. I paired th

So....not only did I wear this outfit but I took photos in it and now I'm posting it. I love an oversized sweater or sweatshirt. I especially love to pair them with an extra tall boot or thigh high sock; HOWEVER, in this instance it is all wrong! The gap between the top of the boot and the bottom of the sweatshirt should be 1-2 inches not half a foot! *palm to forehead. I am wearing leather shorts but you can't see them so I look I forgot my bottoms. Serves me right for not l

"Well, it is good cape weather: cool, breezy." For those ( maybe all) of you who didn't know that reference, it is from my all-time favorite show, Seinfeld. In this particular episode, Larry David plays George's father's attorney who mysteriously wears a cape. If you've never watched the show I suggest you immediately jump on hulu+ and give it try, I have seen every episode a bazillion times and have watched it to fall asleep almost every night since high school. Ok, done wit
