Late last November, while reading several different blog posts about the upcoming holidays, I had an overwhelming moment when I realized the season’s “must-have” items in the various posts would cost well over $2500. A dress. A pair of heels. A jacket. And a handbag. $2500. Uh, no thanks. The consistency of the posts noting the must-haves combined with the euphoria felt wearing the item […]
It’s my favorite time of year: the transition from summer to fall. Backpacks and school. Schedules return to normal. Enjoying the last few rays of summer before the rains return. It’s brief amount of time, about five weeks – maybe six or seven weeks if we’re really lucky – of crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings. I’ve hung the boys’ […]
I love pieces that take an outfit from “nice” to “wow!” These pieces, for me, include a favorite necklace, a darling pair of shoes, and a few others worn between the two. I rarely wear them together, but individually they complete an outfit in their own way. They’re all pieces I can wear easily: a pendant necklace for date night, great shoes to a […]
I loved seeing Wendy’s inspiration for Lina’s “Errand Saturday” outfit. Allows for great movement, ideal as we transition into the fall, and – most important – all the pieces are functional. Then there’s the yellow crossbody bag, aka arms-and-hands-free bag. I LOVE IT! Notes from Wendy: “Lina usually wears a tee shirt, zip hoodie, jeans and […]
Wardrobe staples. We love them, right? They’re easy to wear and allow for easy mixing and matching as we wish no matter the current trend. I personally feel this way about a pencil skirt. Easy to dress up or dress down, but no matter what, it looks polished and flattering. Wendy found a great, sharp […]
“Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.” – Coco Chanel I am really excited to share this series with you! It started last November with an idea born from complete frustration after reading a few fashion and lifestyle blogs, and turned into a project of love thanks to an incredible group of ladies. I’m incredibly grateful for the time each partner put […]
Tomorrow I’m leaving for a ladies’ weekend in Vegas! While I’m looking forward to relaxing poolside and sleeping in, I’m downright thrilled one of the ladies, after receiving everyone’s input, made magic happen by taking care of *all* of our dinner and club reservations. Seriously folks. This is the stuff of dreams and why she ranks as awesomesauce […]
The Mister and I are on a much needed getaway this week to the west side of Oahu, thanks to the combined efforts of Mimi, Papa and Gigi watching the boys and dear friends housesitting (seriously, it’s a village effort). Even though this was planned late last summer, it couldn’t have come at a better […]
I cannot believe school starts in twelve days (?!) – and some kids have already started! Thankfully I have a fairly short shopping list but there’s still the pressure to tackle it ASAP since Lil Man’s preschool summer session is winding down. Aside from the crowds and finding time to do it, I don’t mind […]
