Q & A 

1. How is it having a large family in Los Angeles? I think it’s important to know what places, and neighborhoods are more kid friendly etc. Read my post on 5 kid friendly LA.

2. When do you style outfits? Honestly, some of the best “editing” i.e. trying on, taking off, and more mixing, less matching happens when the house is quiet, the last child has gone to sleep! I can gather my thoughts, write copy, and return emails.

3. Tell us something we don’t know . . . Well, I have 250 pairs of shoes in my house, but can never find a pen. True Story.

4. Will we be seeing any short videos coming soon? Yes! Glad you asked, we filmed one last week coming soon! Eeek! I’m somewhat camera shy, so it was fun to crawl out of my shell. Meanwhile, just enjoy my short boomerangs on Instagram.

5. Where are you going next? I’m planning a trip to NYC, so comment with your must see, must eat, must drink, must everything.

6. Tell us about your week  . . . My family has been in town which means we’re going to the beach, using 14 eggs for scrambled eggs in the morning and using lots of paper plates. No shame! And did I mention, there’s an inch of sand on my floors? It has been a treat seeing the cousins bond all over again since last seeing each other in January. If you think about it, its really just a short time together before they all part ways, some to different schools and a very wide 2200 miles away from each other. I get choked up just thinking about it. I am also needing versatility in my dressing since time is always of the essence as a busy mom.

Any Last Words? Sometimes you just need a $39 dress worn as a top, and laugh about all the scrambled eggs on the floor. Memories in the making.

I recently stumbled upon the cutest trapeze dress. Its great with gladiators or these hiro heels. Special shout out to the hubs for choosing my shoes for the post. He said the pattern of the shoes matches the pattern on the dress. How’s that for an Architect’s opinion? Love him. I’ll definitely be sporting this swingy dress again to beat this Cali heat.

After a day of stepping on Lincoln Logs, and what seemed like a million potty breaks with four kids everywhere I took them, it feels great to don a chic LBD. For those of you shopping the Nordstrom Sale, yes its finally public access which means you don’t need to be a Nordstrom card holder to shop. Yay! The dress I’m wearing is from the #Nsale (how great is this neck tie?) See my previous post on some Nordstrom Sale scores. Now, back to enjoying the moments, despite the sore feet.

I think it’s safe to say that LA winter is officially over. These past couple days have been more like spring, messing us up like crazy. My kids keep asking if we can go to the pool. So, if you’re curious, this blush trench is pretty amazing and adapts to both spring and summer. It even manages winter, if you have the luck of living in California. So, it’s also probably safe to say that you’ll be seeing it again.

If you’re wondering how to winterize your look without wearing a coat, it’s really quite simple. Basically it all comes down to great layers, such as a chunky knit sweater or faux fur stole, or a turtleneck and faux fur vest, and paired with great jeans, naturally. I love dresses and skirts but I absolutely will always feel my best in jeans, hands down. Since I can’t always get to the store, or it’s not worth bringing my boys and a bajillion snacks, I’ll often hit up Nordstrom online. If I’m on the fence about sizing, I order both sizes and return one. And you never need to worry about hassle because the customer service is amazing. I love how these RES Denim move with just the right amount of stretch and rips. I also have been gramming a lot of the black version of these jeans as well. (Note: fit is true to size.) Ps. Can’t wait for palm trees in the background and not snow!

Black Friday 2015

1. LEAH FAUX FUR VEST is a classic. Love it with faux leather leggings. (I got a size us 6)
2. SAM EDELMAN pump for the holiday party

3. ISOLA EPPIE Bootie I have in black and love it with leggings.

4. This COWL NECK SWEATER is less than $30, and worth every penny.
5. BLANK NYC FAUX LEATHER MOTO Never enough leather jackets!

6. LEXI BAG No one does bucket bags like Rebekah Minkoff

7. AUDREY BOOTIE because a buckle vamps up the chic factor. Also, how great are these from TOPSHOP?
8. BONUS: Also love this grid car coat  (25% off and free shipping today!)

If I’m honest, I used to be the one in line at a big box retailer at 5:30 AM, not even sure what I was going for, but it was exciting. Not anymore. Now that I have kids and the hubs has that day off, my idea of the Friday after Thanksgiving is stay in bed in my sweats and shop online. Or pack for LA. Here’s a shortlist of what I actually have and am ordering. Simple as that. The sale starts November 26, and goes to November 30. Annnnnnd free shipping and free returns are always a bonus. Enjoy this special time with family and friends.
Thankful for you all! XO

If it’s true that you look best when you feel good about what you’re wearing, then jeans are it for me. If you follow me on insta, they’re basically my second skin.  These slightly lived-in distressed AG’s are some of my favorite. They don’t lose their stretch from wear to wear, and they look amazing paired with a simple RAILS plaid and fringe heel. All late-night Nordstrom.com finds! I can also swap out the fringe sandal for chucks when it’s school pick-up time, or leave the heels and throw on some faux fur for date night. Seriously, nobody can debate the versatility of a good pair of jeans. And to justify my addiction to soft plaids, I plan on pairing these puppies with fringe and leather skirts all fall. Until then, I’m enjoying the occasional 70 degree day as an excuse to break out the sandals. Stay tuned to see my next favorite jean from Nordstrom!
