This is what I wore to the Vince Camuto party Tuesday night and basically what I could wear everyday here in LA: sleeveless turtleneck, light jacket and jeans. Also, how cute is this clutch? Fits the important stuff: like my keys and credit cards. Don’t forget to check my updated shop page. Happy Thursday!

While heading to the Four Seasons Westlake for their 5th annual Let it Snow event, we did not know what to expect other than pictures with Santa and a train ride. Since moving from Chicago last December, this Christmas marks our first one sans family and the beginning of a new chapter and new traditions. And the Four Seasons is a great place to start. After checking in, a super friendly staff offered us champagne and cake pops before taking us up to our gorgeous suite. Because of our large family, we had a beautiful corner king suite with a pull out couch, king room, and foyer. (And yes, despite all that room, we still needed a bed rolled in for the littlest.) Probably my favorite part of our stay-cation at the Four Seasons Westlake Let it Snow event, besides the awesome breakfast burritos, was how much they catered to each child and made them feel so special. From stuffed animal Sven dolls stuffed into mini white robes, four brownie cakes delivered to our room with the words “welcome” written on them, and breakfast with the Disney characters (hello Charlie Brown and Elsa!) to the awesome kids buffet piled with teddy bears, strawberry milk and fresh waffles, all at the perfect kid height might I add, no detail was forgotten. If we needed anything, their staff was alert and very friendly. While not all cities like Los Angeles are kid friendly (or cater to children, let alone four of them), Four Seasons Westlake exceeded our expectations. The kids response to our departure was, “Can we do this every weekend?”

Thankfully, I racked my brain to share the top favorite gifts. What are some of yours?

I partnered with Nordstrom, sharing some versatile pieces I’m loving now. Namely, these faux leather leggings on major repeat! Some of my favorite purchases are the most simple: an oversize sweater (under $50), faux leather leggings (only $29), and an investment accessory: Burberry plaid scarf. I like the latter draped or loosely knotted in front. I love having options. Thankfully, Nordstrom is a one-stop shop with so many gorgeous sweaters, scarves and leggings for every price point. Not to mention, amazing customer service. I just wish I had more cold weather days to don all the sweaters, because I could wear this every day. Shop the exact look below:

My Portuguese Granny was a lady with impeccable style and amazing taste in jewelry. My gold and turquoise ring that has become my signature piece was hers. After “borrowing” the ring in my teenage years, my mom gave me the ring when I started college; I have seldom taken it off since. It goes with everything and I can’t tell you how many times I’m asked, “Where can I get that ring?” The ring of course is 70+ years old, and who knows where my Granny got it. She was Portuguese, but lived in Hong Kong and traveled extensively. So of course I’m always on the look out for something similar in design and character.
Then I saw a Jane Pope piece at a Shopburu party during NYFW. I saw somebody wearing a turquoise ring that caught my eye. After meeting her and seeing more of her designs, it was obvious why her designs are carried at Barney’s New York and featured in Elle and Glamour Magazine. Jane creates custom pieces, but also has a line of gorgeous pieces ready-made. And she carries this exact turquoise ring I’m wearing. I love her quality pieces and I’m so excited to share them with you! Read more about her story here.

There’s nothing like a checked coat to spice up my all black uniform. Read, desperate attempt to get out of my all black rut. Thankfully, its been chilly enough here in LA to actually layer. See this post on how I styled a leopard coat. I’m excited my family from the Midwest comes in today. Let the holidays begin! As always, my shop page is open 24/7 and updated daily. Thanks for all your support!

What are you wearing for the holidays? An ugly sweater? Maybe more sequins? Well, seriously, what is more festive than a champagne wrap dress? Not much. I’m digging its laid back chic, champagne color and silky smooth comfort. Here, I styled it with camel tone boots and a natural lip. If we’re able to steal away for a date night, I’ll switch it up to these flirty sandals. Happy Cyber Monday, hope you can shop till you drop, in your robe, coffee in hand. Another date night inspiration in this post if you missed it.

With the holidays in full swing, we have been busy baking all the bread and cookies for teachers and friends and decking the halls. Read lots of fun and messes. If we go out, it’s usually in flats and simple accessories. Namely, I’m loving this faux fur stole, taupe crossbody bag, and glitter slides all from SOLE SOCIETY. I love that I can throw this stole over a jean jacket or wool coat. So versatile! Don’t forget, tomorrow, Nov 28th, is Cyber Monday, and they are offering 30% off the entire site. Amazing!
Don’t forget to shop early for sizes and availability. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.
