Black, White, and Tan



Shorts Zara/ Shoes Sam Edelman/ Top Forever21/ Bag Tory Burch

Yep, I am still wearing these shorts everywhere! Nick and I had a fun packed Saturday in San Francisco, attending the Giants game and wandering around the pier with two of our favorite people. Check out my instagram page for pictures from the game. Have a great week!

Tulle Skirt

*Sorry, I couldn't resist posting this picture of Dexter with his Fall/Winter coat blowing in the breeze

Thank you all so much for the kind words. It really means a lot to me that you a) enjoy my blog and b) took the time to share your thought. After taking some time to think it over I have decided to continue to post; however, on a less frequent/regular basis. I think the pressure of posting four to five times a week was a little much for me to manage. I will try to update a couple of times a week, but no promises.

 
We spent the week/weekend enjoying the company of one of our nephews and my aunt. We had sleepovers, visited the reptile museum (not ever going there again), and headed to Santa Cruz boardwalk for some rides and lunch/dinner on the water. I love when family visits, but it makes it that much harder when they leave. At least I know that I will be seeing them again soon!

Last Summer





Top F21/ Shorts Nordstrom/ Shoes Michael Kors/ Clutch YSL

I was cleaning out my closet and found these shorts at the bottom of the pile.  This was one of my go-to looks last summer and I am still diggin' it! On a completely different note, I tried a new fitness class and I am loving it. It is a mix of yoga, pilates, and strength. It is kind of like a fast paced yoga/pilates done to really fun music. It's nice to mix up my routine.

It's very likely that you genuinely enjoy activities when just about everything makes sense. You naturally gravitate to tasks where facts, events, processes, or ideas are methodically outlined.  By nature, you enjoy being busy, especially when you can assist someone in need.  You are likely to be a good partner at home, in the workplace, at school, or in the community.  You tend to do more than is expected of you.  Why?  You probably worry about wasting time.  This explains your habits of volunteering for projects and asking for extra duties.  Instinctively, you routinely reduce elaborate or intertwined ideas, processes, legal documents, and/or action plans to their basic elements.  As a result, people usually turn to you for plainspoken, easy-to-understand explanations.  Chances are good that you enjoy the companionship of individuals who tell you what they plan to accomplish in the coming weeks, months, or years.  Once you know their goals, you can help them reach their objectives.  Few things please you more than this.  Because of your strengths, you are naturally open and honest about who you are, what you have done, what you can do, and what you cannot do.  Your straightforward explanations and stories help listeners see you as you see yourself.  You reveal your strengths and limitations.  You are forthright and plainspoken.  People generally seek your company and want to work with you.  Many are impelled to move into action by your words and examples.

Floral



Dress Target/Clutch UO/Shoes DV Dolce Vita/ Belt F21 
 
I wore this cozy dress over the weekend to breakfast with my family. This dress is quite old, but I never get tired of the print. On another note, I made a meatloaf last night that had a ton of vegetables in it. It actually turned out better than I had expected...my husband even requested that I make it again.

Colorful

I sincerely apologize for my lack of regular updates. Between family visiting and starting back at work I haven't found much extra time to take photos. I guess that isn't a very good excuse, since it is all about prioritizing....

p.s. I was very excited to be featured again on the dailybuzz.com site for Fall fashion! Check out my featured tab or their website to see the post.

Wide Leg

 
Pants Anthropologie (last summer?)/Top F21/Necklace Aldo/Shoes Steve Madden/ Bag YSL

I apologize for the lack of a post on Friday. I didn't quite get my stuff together before leaving for our camping trip last week. We enjoyed several beautiful days camping on the beach with friends. We ate, we drank, we had a boys versus girls olympics (of course the girls won), enjoyed the views, and got blown away by the wind. I think my favorite part of the trip was unplugging from the internet/phone and enjoying the company and great outdoors (our makeshift volleyball court was a close second).  I used to hate it when others would be on their IPhones at the dinner table, during social events, etc. and I have found myself partaking in the behavior that I detested so much. Since returning home, I have been making a conscious effort to use all of my devices less. I find that I am a much more pleasant person when I am not caught up in the happenings of others. Maybe I am just crazy :)

Light and Airy

I don't need to tell you all how uncomfortable it is to wear tight, clingy clothing in the heat. This outfit was nice and breezy for a warm summer day. Thanks for stopping by!

Favorite pictures (Tahoe part 3)







Dress Urban Outfitters/ Shoes Zara/ Jewelry F21, Nordstrom
 
This might be a bit of a surprise, since I do have a blog, but I am not a fan of taking pictures. If I had a mannequin to hang my clothes on, I might do that instead. With that said, I LOVE these pictures. I am not sure if it is the new camera, the dress (which I also LOVE), or the background, but it is working for me! Thanks for stopping by!

Lace Shorts again...




Top Marshalls/ Shorts F21/ Sandals Sam Edelman/ Bag Marc by Marc Jacobs

Today I leave you with one of my favorite quotes. I really feel that this has been me for the last 6-8 years or so....I guess it is time to break the cycle.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Summer Stripes

 




Top F21/ Shorts Express/ Wedges Old
 
I tried taking some "selfies" without a proper camera stand. Even Dexter was exhausted by my sad attempt :)  I spent the night at my awesome friend's house Sunday night and came to several realizations:
 
1) I really REALLY miss her. I knew I missed her before, but actually getting to hang out for a while elevated those feelings.
2) I need to get a clarisonic. My face felt so smooth afterwards.
3) I also need to start using WEN hair care products. My sister has been trying to convince me for a couple of months now and I have to admit that my hair never felt softer.
4) Having a personal trainer is awesome...especially when it is your BFF and you get to work out with a small group of friends.
5) I also was lucky enough to enjoy the company of her sister who I adore spending time with, which in turn made me miss my sister even more.
 
I would also like to mention that a stranger pinned one of my outfits on Pinterest and it kind of (err....absolutely) made my day.
 
Have a great Wednesday.
