Hubby said to me tonight, wow you’re really obsessed with stripe dresses lately. Haha and yes, he’s so right. Blame it on the fourth of July or maybe the fact that they are super versatile and act as a closet neutral. Not only do they double as chic swim coverups but great layered with a denim jacket, white button-up or cardigan. Here, I paired it with a distressed denim jacket and red accessories. Today, we are headed to Laguna Beach and as much as I’m looking forward to the change of scenery, I’m not looking forward to the sand clean-up. Happy stars and stripes! More stripe on stripe looks here.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a safe and fun family weekend.

Flashback to our date night in Omaha! I totally forgot to post this on the blog. My in-laws usually take the kids and we enjoy a night on the town. Its super relaxing and who knew Omaha, NE has such an amazing music scene? Shop my fave kimono (I was drawn to the stripes) and jeans below. What is your fave date night city?

If you are in search of a dress for Friday’s date night and your friend’s wedding, this dress fits the bill. I’m loving that this dress is not only under $60, but looks great with a headscarf and lace-up sandals. Its been so hot here full of that dry dessert heat that I admittedly love, but also love to hate. Nothing better than a light ruffle dress for day dates and nights out to keep cool. Just don’t forget the sunblock. Also this dress comes in 5 colors, which is your fave? See also here for a dress for every occasion.

We’re gearing up for Fouth of July with my cousin in Laguna Beach and I not short on outfits. I quickly discovered after I did my weekly donation pile, that so many of my favorite outfits include red, white, and blue. Mt littlest joined in on the fun with his gingham shirt, cutoffs and saltwater sandals.

Happy almost fourth of July!

More Fourth of July Inspo!

Honestly, few things make my heart skip like this stripe and camel duo. We’re currently encountering a major heat wave so optional layering is a must! I own a million soft tanks, from white to black, soft to light weight and you should too. I like to pair the indispensable tank with striped shorts or cutoffs, a camel coat or rain jacket. If you’re looking for multiple options, this combo also works with flip flops for a BBQ on the beach or a low heel for dinner with friends.

Never enough gingham – EVER. We are filming a fun project today, so stay tuned. I plan to share it on every channel once it goes live. And yes, I’m a little nervous but even more excited to share it. Cheers to lots of gingham, pool days and the weekend!

To highlight a fun stripe jacket, I like to keep it simple with all black. It’s way easier to highlight a new color and shape with a monochrome basics – $70 jeans, trusty tank and stripe jacket I love thats light enough for summer nights. Back to writing our summer bucket list because its already June 22nd! I can’t believe it. What’s your go-to summer look?

 

corset top ANTHROPOLOGIE   :: jeans NSF at BARNEYS NYC I also like this crop flare version HERE :: heels MODE COLLECTIVE and SIMILAR ::

Three things I love about this top: its linen, oversize and has a corset. I got so many compliments while wearing it for date night I had to share with you. Not to mention, I paired if with black jeans that look great with summer tops. Here are some of my faves:

Because date night is sometimes short as in we only have time for coffee and dessert, I included two dinner places and two coffee shops we love here in LA.

4 Places You Won’t Wanna Miss in LA

Republique – great ambiance, lovely tile floor and yummy brussels sprouts.

Civil Coffee – yummy almond milk mochas in a marble and brass filed haven.

Winsome – hip diner, yummy everything.

Eightfold Coffee – minimalist design, friendly staff, and great matcha green tea.

 

 

 

 

Who doesn’t love a good Summer top under $40?  I’m loving this floral off the shoulder top with bell sleeves. We brought all the kids to Nordstrom Rack for some tops for me and work pants for Reid. Miraculously, we only left with 4 impulse buys and one fidget spinner. I was so proud of ourselves. We celebrated over guac, chips and burritos. If you’re on the fence, both my tops I linked below are under $40, and at that price, I’m not stressing about the green tea I spilled on them.

Happy Tuesday!

I’m loving all things blazer and this one is no exception. I paired this one shoulder blazer with white pants for a fresh take on a nautical look. I also was happy to find Summers are for blazers, who knew? How to wear them? Here are three short ideas.

Pair a blazer with cutoffs, over a maxi dress (for shape) or cropped jeans.
