Before I dive in, I promise I’ll follow-up on everything that’s happened over the past six or so weeks. It’s been a roller-coaster to say the least. More importantly though, thank you […]

Parkas. Coats. Jackets. Hoods. Toggles. Shrugs. They’re all fabulous. Outerwear, to me, is like a bow on a gift. It pulls the entire presentation together. The Multi-Purpose Coats: These styles are timeless and the perfect go-to coat. Perfect for work, taking littles to soccer practice – or skateboard park – and enjoying a night out on the town. The Office Layers: […]

Guilty Pleasure Confession: I’ve been watching Outlander. Totally and completely sucked into it along with a million-plus other people. Don’t judge me. I’m reading the book too and about to dive into the second book in the series. All this to say the mid-season finale is tonight! Ugh. I’m already feeling withdrawals caused by the lack of hearing Scottish accents and seeing the sweeping […]

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’ […]

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 […]

Early spring in Seattle means holding on to certain parts of your winter wardrobe (coat and wool scarf), while digging wildly through the attic for pieces you put away after the summer or fall (lighter cotton cardigans and flats), and grabbing a few items you always keep handy in the front closet (rain boots and […]

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 am so excited to announce this giveaway! It includes a few of my favorite statement pieces and beauty products to keep you event-ready all summer long. And before we roll out the details, a big heart-felt “thank you” to Domino Beauty Boutique for the beauty products! Without further ado: tell me about your favorite summer event and […]

Just a reminder: this week’s posts are dedicated to getting ready for Easter, 3.31.13! By any chance do you remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books? The stories where you would suddenly come to the point in a chapter when you had to choose if you were going to continue down a wooded path or cross a rope bridge while a grizzly […]

My annual scramble to find the right outfit for New Year’s Eve seems to kick in the day after Christmas. I love the thought of going to a party dressed to the nines and dancing the night away. Skipping the traditional LBD and finding something to make a statement in a crowd would be a lot of fun. Having the right coat to keep me warm […]
