Sometimes the most flattering combination has the right proportions. Here its a crop top and high-waisted jeans or pants. I’ll be wearing this combo also with a crop pant for summer bbq’s and weddings, perfect for warm weather. What is your favorite Summer combo?
This weekend we are off to Santa Monica, and if the kids have anything to do with it, we will stop by the beach. I’m keeping it simple with a cotton dress, sneakers (or cute sandals in blush velvet) and my trusty hat. I’ love that this dress is under $50 so the inevitable spills don’t stress me out. Back to breakfast with my crew, shop more dress finds below. I hope you have a lovely weekend!

It’s our last week of school before spring break and what a relief. While I love bonding with B while his siblings are at school, I’m super excited to let the kids ease into the morning and not have to make that 8am drive. We’re excited to welcome my in-laws, so be prepared for lots of date-nights and going-out-for-ice-cream kinda nights. I love how versatile this top is – great over leggings or jeans, tied or tucked, dressy or casual. See here how I styled embroidered jeans. Happy Tuesday!

One thing I love about Nordstrom is their awesome selection, customer service and brands! I have SO many brands at my fingertips (mostly at 1am) on Nordstrom.com, from investment pieces to essential tee’s and affordable bandana’s. All of which I plan on stocking up on the latter for our road trip this summer. More on that later. Meanwhile, these white pants are completely on trend and very versatile. I’m loving everything laced-up from sweaters to high waist pants. See more of my picks below. Here, I styled them with stripes and totally different sunnies, making lace up pants the ultimate wardrobe staple. How do you wear yours?

Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post, all opinions my own.
I won’t lie, stripes are probably my favorite print to style, and probably hands down one of the essentials every girl should own in her closet. That said, you should buy yours wisely. Here, I styled the multi stripe button down, with another stripe layer, go-to light wash Levi’s, and barely there heels to make you look longer and leaner, to balance those oh-so-essential prints. Just in time for the weekend. Speaking of, I will be in full birthday mom-mode, celebrating both my boy’s birthdays, 4 yrs, and 6 yrs. Where did my babies go? In the meantime, go see my fave stripe picks for #Nationalstripeday below.
Shop the look here or on my shop page;) Thanks for stopping by. Happy Friday!

Overalls are making a comeback – are you ready? The trick is how you style them. I prefer the looser off the shoulder top, nude heels and stripe tunic. It’s a boho chic look that works for casual Friday to farmer’s market Saturdays. Just don’t forget a big bag to collect all your market spoil. Here’s hoping I can convince my 7 year-old to wear her cute overalls with me. But I’m not going to hold my breath since moments together and relationships outweigh even the cutest photo op. PS. If you follow me on Instagram, you will agree with me that I can’t stop styling this stripe tunic – which is also on my shop page.
If you ask me what details up any outfit it’s hands down the bag and shoes. Of course, stripes are a great backdrop to almost every outfit, fishnet socks – I like short ones and a cognac leather bag. See here how I style more stripes. Happy Humpday!

This week is all about cozy yet chic layers and this look is no exception. I’ve never been cozier. I will have taught you all my cozy layering tricks just in time for bathing suit weather. Yes, the rumor is 80 degree weather is coming up soon to SoCal. Just in time for my kids to start begging for more beach days. Speaking of beach days, it’s a great time to shop for swim suit because it’s sale time! Shopbop has an annual sale that lasts till 3/4/17. Use code GOBIG17, for up to 25% off. I linked some favorite swim picks for our upcoming Mexico trip. Happy Shopping!
I partnered with Sheryl from Walk in Wonderland to show two ways to wear stripes. They’re so classic and it was fun to see her sophisticated take and my ‘relaxed’ version. I met Sheryl when I first moved to LA and love hearing her adventures in and around Los Angeles with her and her husband (who shoots most of all of her work). When she’s not enjoying spicy food in and around the LA hot spots, she travels with her husband and runs the successful blog Walk In Wonderland. Which I’ll mention, is worth your time to check out. Also follow her on IG, @walkinwonderland. I’m so thankful to have met so many creative people since moving to LA a year ago that inspire me daily! See also HERE where I styled stripes. Thank you Sheryl for coming on the blog. Who inspires you?

Ever since we moved to LA last January, I’ve been obsessed with old vintage cars. My favorite being the vintage Porsche 911. Amazing. I’m resolved to just stare from afar, or in this case, sit on this random orange Chevy as if it’s mine. I’m loving a pop of stripe to an overall basic outfit. If I wanted to switch it up, I’d add a black leather jacket, black boots, and a black bag. Basically, everyone needs a good striped blouse. Happy Monday!
