We’ve been venturing out to more neighborhoods like Silverlake and loving the vibe. Laid back, artsy, and great coffee shops. And did I mention cool vintage cars? I’m a fan. It’s starting to feel like summer so what’s easier than a summer dress? I love that its only one piece and all you need is shoes to complete the outfit. Love this red handkerchief style dress that is also under $100! Shop more under $100 selections from Nordstrom below. Happy Friday!

Whether we are hiking Runyon Canyon or walking around Studio City, we all can agree it helps to have a buddy. If you have kids or nieces and nephews, ask them to workout with you! If you’re new to this, here are some suggestions. 
Here are 5 at home or at the park workouts that pump you up and your kids:
Jump Rope
Red light / green light
Burpies
Monkey Bars
Jumping Jacks
Note: Combining regular physical activity with a healthy diet is the key to a healthy lifestyle. And keep in mind, your children will most likely eat what you eat.

I recently spent the day with Locale Magazine sharing some of my favorite Manhattan Beach places to stay, eat and shop! It was a fun non-stop day – think lots of outfit changes, and walking from shop to cafe. Thankfully, everything is so close and so quaint! I just love MB, friendly people, great shops and did I mention awesome views? Go get yourself a copy of the new issue – out now! Or see it digitally HERE.

Everyone wants beautiful bouncy and healthy hair but not everyone is sure how to achieve it. My hair often suffers from dryness, overheating with hair straighteners and lots of hair products, especially from events and photo shoots. So, in between washes, I substitute apple cider vinegar or ACV instead of shampoo.  The beauty and simplicity of ACV naturally cleanses the scalp without stripping the hair of necessary oils. My hair after washing with ACV not only maintains fresh hair color in between salon visits, but I also noticed it became softer and shinier.  So, how does it work you ask? It’s simple, alternate shampoo days for ACV hair rinse and follow with conditioner. I love how bouncy my hair feels afterwards and totally recommend it!  Styling tip: for my hair, using ACV once a month was fine, but using it every day did not achieve the results I wanted, and after washing with ACV, add Argan Oil therapy to protect from UV color fade as well as protect from heat styling without weighing it down. Brilliant. I love using natural ingredients for my hair.

We like to try new brunch places and I’m always on the search for a church dress. We accomplished both at Ostrich Cafe and sporting this Topshop floral dress I love with leather. This low maintenance dress is so fun worn with a black leather jacket and wrap heels. Happy Friday!

6 Summer Dresses 

It’s been hard getting back into the saddle of my week since getting back from Chicago, school variety shows, homework and everything in between is taking up my time. One of my favorite style savers lately is a silky trench! I’m obsessed. It works out great with the chilly weather we’ve been having. Happy cloudy Wednesday from SoCal! I also talk about trenches in the Mother’s Day guide if you missed it.

Free People always nails it. That is why it was not difficult to partner with them to share some of my favorites. Think flattering jeans and a blush sweater. What’s not to love? This cozy sweater is great for chilly summer evenings, boat rides, and lately rainy LA days. I also love wearing this blush sweater with cutoffs or a skirt. I also styled these jeans with a separate top here. So many options with a good shade and fit. Anyone else counting down the days till Summer break?

Since sweaters are season-less, here are my top 5, because I can’t say no to a good cardigan:

Casual Friday is everyday for me as a mom. So here’s a comfy bodysuit, jeans, mules and go-to leather jacket. All comfy enough to chase my favorite superhero. Happy Tuesday!

I fell in love with this print and styled it with white jeans (I buy in bulk) and lace up flats (I can still run errands with kids in them). A comfy long cardigan and hat elevated the look. Happy Monday!

What’s easier on the weekend than a racer back cotton dress and sneakers? I love it also paired with pointy heels and a blazer. It’s a long to-do list as it’s my last weekend in LA, before we head to Chicago. So, easy dresses and sneakers it is. And did I mention this dress is only $59? I can’t wait for tonight’s Cinco de Mayo party than packing. Happy weekend!
