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 […]

Can you believe it’s the last week of August? We’re getting ready for school to kick-off. The Older is heading off to Kindergarten and the Little is going to preschool (finally!!) in two weeks! It’s a little weird knowing the house will be a little quieter but I’m really looking forward to the time to solely […]

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 […]

Hopefully you already know about the Summer Soiree Giveaway (enter today!). A lucky winner will receive a box with fabulous goods including these lil’ gems. Confession: I liked them so much I picked up a pair for myself.I’m planning to wear them next weekend. To my 20-year high school reunion to be exact. How’s that for a sneak peek into […]

The Mermaid loves the water. Her ideal day is spent at the water’s edge and comes back completely energized. Her joy comes from watching her family enjoying the surf, exploring the surrounding tide pools and building castles in the sand. Does your mom like the surf and sun? How are you planning to celebrate the day with her? {beach […]

Each woman treats Mother’s Day differently. Some wish to spend the day with family, while others take time away for a little peace and quiet. There are some who catch-up with friends over a glass of wine. And for some ladies, it’s a little bit of everything. I also want to respectfully acknowledge those amazing women in our lives who’ve played important roles […]

I needed a little inspiration in what to wear for Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning. Usually my Eve wear includes a warm cardigan sweater, jean and boots. So comfortable yet predictable. I think it’s time to step it up a notch this year by dressing up a little (and that dress is on sale!). The tights will keep my […]
