One of those trends that never gets old, are polka dots! It’s amazing how versatile they are dressed up with white heels or down with white sneakers. I personally love them with all white accessories for a clean and somewhat preppy look. How do you like to wear yours?

I love a cozy cardigan with a tank or silk cami



 

I love some flats that can be styled up (with a pencil skirt) or down with jeans. Here I styled them with all white and a cozy grey cardigan. I live in flats so I included more from the sale below. Happy Monday!

I love this combo – black and tan! And the best part? It’s all on sale! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full force and now is the time to buy and secure your size. I was just telling a friend how I’m so shocked how fast things are selling out this year. Crazy. Of course, I’m a huge fan of their free shipping on purchases and returns and curbside pickup! Take advantage of both. Happy Sunday!

Cute Boots from the Sale

Booties and OTK boots are a fall must-have and it’s a great time to get them on sale. How cute are booties with leggings or jeans and a comfy cardigan?

How is your weekend? We had a last minute date Friday night and it was d-i-v-i-n-e. Date night is often running errands for us so I almost always wear jeans with the exception of some dresses I’ve shown here before. This top immediately caught my eye because of the ruffles and one shoulder design. I paired it with color block heels you have seen before on my instagram because they are so versatile. Stay tuned, as we’re headed somewhere fun tomorrow!

Have a lovely rest of the weekend!

Because clothing items always look different on the hanger than worn, I thought I’d post some of my favorite pieces below.  Shop them below.

Jeans

Don’t miss this sale without buying a pair of jeans. Here are some of my favorites!

Sweaters

I’m always surprised how much wear I get out of a good sweater in the summer and how well it transitions into fall. You can’t go wrong with a tank, sweater and jeans. Ever.

Tops 

I personally love an interesting tops, because they look great with jeans and that’s all I wear. This bodysuit is uber flattering great under a skirt or jeans.

Shoes

As a stylist, I always encourage my clients to invest in “investment buys.” Well made shoes fit into that catagory such as Rag & Bone and Stuart Weitzman.

Skirts

I love pairing over the knee boots with skirts for fall. A good suede or leather skirt goes a long way.

Dresses

A love that a dress is one and done and paired easily with a wrap sandal, booties or a pump.

Handbags & Accessories

How cute is this stripe bag? I want to bring it to the farmer’s market tomorrow! 

Beauty

Most of these things I already have – so I highly recommend! I’m trying Neulash for the first time as my friend told me its amazing. With so many beauty exclusives this year, it’s a great time to try a new brand or gift a friend.

Home

From sheets to bar carts to a copper poly pillowcase. The pillowcase I’ve heard great things about, these candles make great hostess gifts and I tend to buy sheets a couple times a year, always a plus when its on sale!

Jackets

It may be 91 degrees out, but if you buy now, you’ll thank yourself later. It’s a great time to stock up on a new Fall/Winter jacket.

Date night or girly day dates require an upgrade from the beloved t-shirt and jeans. Enter the off the shoulder ruffle dress. I don’t usually wear a ton of pink, but this is the exception. It’s the perfect shade to compliment most shoes like these striped espadrilles. I’m sharing more date night favorites below. Tomorrow I’m sharing some finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Don’t worry, I’ll do the hard work going through thousands of product and sharing a couple of my favorites that are worth your time. Meanwhile, read up on how to prepare now, HERE. Happy humpday!

We like nothing better as a family than scootering to the park, tea, ice cream or just about anywhere. It’s always a race to get anywhere and Reid and I are often left in the dust. Thankfully, I just joined the squad with my very own white Micro-Scooter. The kids actually love that I can finally keep up with them on our way to ice cream or the park.

On the 4th of July morning, our scooter outing took us down to one of our favorite LA streets, Abbot Kinney where we grabbed some ice cream at Salt and Straw.  We timed it perfect getting there right when they opened and didn’t have to wait in line.  It was early enough that the sidewalks weren’t too crowded.  We kept the speed down and found an open area where we could run in circles for awhile.  It just so happened to be where one of my favorite LA walls are too!

Spending time as a family made the 4th of July Holiday all the more special.  Keeping the celebration simple was key to a successful day with four kids.  They really don’t need much.  Just us, scooting along side of them.

 Tips for Scootering:

Wear Helmets on your heads

Sneakers on your feet – not sandals

Our first lesson with our 4 year old was how to break, it’s an important one!
