Spring

One-piece (I’m wearing a small) // stripe duster in small//

I’m a big fan of a flattering one piece, enter the Kim by Montce. It is belted and chic, ready to take on the toddler, the waves or the mini bar. I love a good belted swimsuit as it is universally flattering. I recently shared some belted swim favorites in my newsletter, be sure to check it out!

The hot list:

This tasseled Chloe bag for $162, yes please.

These earrings have been on repeat all week!

These barely there sandals are so chic and I’ve had them for 2 years! For those asking about my tan, I used this sunless tanner for my legs. See more options below:

I can’t get enough whites for the beach! See some of my favorites below:

Happy Friday!

I can’t tell you how excited I am that the sun is out! It has been a rainy couple of weeks in LA, and there is more to come. In the meantime, I’m stocking up on lace tops. This one doubles as a swim cover-up, dressed up with heels or dressed down with spanx leggings and a baseball cap. Which is your favorite? I feel like this gloomy weather lately is making us enjoy the brief moments of sunshine all the more! Its all about attitude right? Especially when I’m facing homework with the kids this week, so much patience, but summer is around the corner and seeing their “Ah-ha” moments are pretty special. Hope you have a great start to the week!

With jeans, I usually size down, but with faux leather leggings, I order my usual size as they normally fit true to size. These Spanx do! Showing some more faux leather leggings below:

Nothing says Spring like a sandal and the staple that I look forward to adding to my closet every season. I like them embellished with pearls or ribbon or a comfy footbed a la Birkenstock. I’m crazy about a good pair of sandals so here of some of the cutest around the web. All of them are under $150 and both for going out and staying home. Which are you favorites?

 

 





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?

Date night dinner plans ended up teriyaki chicken bowls a là costco. Gourmet I am not. At least I was before we had kids when I had a couple appetizer tricks up my sleeve. Alas, homemade cook, fail, but I’m winning in the shoe department. Happy Humpday!

Suede for summer makes total sense when paired with an off the shoulder ruffle top, jeans and mules. It’s an easy going outfit that doesn’t take itself too seriously. And yes, my obsession with ruffles continues, here and here. P.S. I wouldn’t be kind if I didn’t tell you the Shopbop sale starts today!

Top 5 One-Pieces:

Last week, we visited the Pasadena Library and it was simply stunning. We didn’t have long to explore, but we were able to peruse the wood paneled reading rooms, awesome kid space, and old fireplaces, so much charm. I can’t wait to take Reid back there! Also, the outdoor espresso bar is a cute little destination that’s quiet and somewhat private. Definitely worth a visit. Here are 4 more places worth a visit in LA:

Pasadena Library 285 E Walnut St, Pasadena, CA 91101

LACMA 5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036

The Getty Villa (huge, and don’t forget a selfie on the amazing tile)17985 Pacific Coast Hwy, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272

Huntington Library and Botanic Garden 1151 Oxford Rd, San Marino, CA 91108

Griffith Observatory Griffith Park, 2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027

flats zara similar :: jeans  and here (fits tts) :: top :: trench similar :: lip Stila in beso :: aviator glasses :: Photo’s by Tasha

5 Cold Shoulder tops under $100

  paige top also in terracotta RAMY BROOK:: pants similar :: bag JW ANDERSON:: earrings KENDRA SCOTT ::

I’ve been eying this top for a while and I finally got my hands on it. The terracotta color is striking and I love pairing it with a neutral bag and white wide leg pants. I also will pair it with jeans for a family ice cream date to Scoops or a blazer for a meeting. It’s all about versatility. Happy Monday!

Your search for the perfect blush pleated skirt is over. Not only is this modern on-trend blush steal under $100, but it’s machine washable. No really, true story. After my toddler hugged me after playing in a backyard full of dirt, I made sure to find out. There might have been a little desperation involved. So, I know. I have plans to get a couple of outfits out of this versatile piece, such as all white, frayed denim and even sneaks! The possibilities prove endless. However, if you want a pro-stylist tip, balance the midi skirt with a fitted top, preferably knotted or slightly cropped and avoid tall boots and loose tops … all of which are at Nordstrom, of course. Get yours before it sells out.

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:
