    Tulum, Mexico

    • Shop the Look Above: Bathing Suit: Target // Sunglasses: Forever 21

    Hi all, so I’m leaving to go on vacation to Riviera Maya, Mexico for a couple of days so I thought I’d do a throw back to when I went to Tulum, Mexico three years ago for Christmas.  Tulum is basically in Riviera Maya but closer to the Mayan temples.  We stayed in a private villa so we had the house staff to take care of us.  Everyone was so sweet!  We had our own cook who made us breakfast, lunch and dinner with fresh ingredients every day and the best guacamole I’ve ever had!  I got my scuba diving license while I was there, we visited the Mayan ruins and pretty much just relaxed at the beach all day.  Read more

    Fall Fashion Goals

    • Shop the Look Above:  Dress: 2 Three 4 // Purse: Stella McCartney // Earrings: David Yurman // Ring: David Yurman // Nude Pumps:  Guess from DSW // Photos: Stephen Matey

    Today is the first day of Fall!  I am so excited that I am a part of the B Bar Blog Link Up discussing my goals for the fall.  Fall is my favorite season!  The weather slowly changes, leaves changes colors, it is the season of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes and an excuse to buy new fall clothes.  Plus, I get my bonus from work at the end of September…so I don’t feel so guilty treating myself.  I’ve been contemplating my goals for fall and here are my goals so far:

    Malibu Cafe & Malibu Wines

    • Shop the Look Above: Tank Top: Free People // Chambray Top: Madewell // White Skinny Jeans: Anne Taylor Loft Petite // Aviator Sunglasses: Coach // Bracelet: David Yurman

    Last summer I visited my best friend who lives in Los Angeles.  We spent the day and went up to Malibu Cafe for lunch and then went wine tasting at Malibu Wines.   Malibu Cafe at Calamigos Ranch is a family owned and operated restaurant with a rustic southern California vibe.  It is secluded atop the Malibu Hills and is well worth the scenic drive.  Malibu Wines is only about a five minute drive from the cafe and offers valet parking as well as a free shuttle service 1/2 mile west of the Malibu Wines tasting room.  A preppy and relaxed outfit is necessary for a southern California outing.   Read more

    Free People and Grafitti

    • Shop the Look Above: Tank Top: Free People // Black Skinny Jeans: Anne Taylor Petite // Aviator Sunglasses: Coach // Bracelet: Tory Burch

    The first day of fall is officially this Wednesday September 23.  Like most girls, I get excited for fall.  The weather is beautiful, leaves change colors and it’s time to bring out those new fall outfits with comfy sweaters, layering with a light jacket, scarfs and new boots.   However, today it feels more like the middle of summer.  Right now it’s 78 degrees and is going to be a high of 90 degrees.  As much as I love fall…I’m still sporting this Free People tank top that is so comfortable and my Anne Taylor loft skinny black jeans.

    Last Minute reis naar Amsterdam Part 2

    • Shop the Look Above: Dress: My Sister’s Dress from South Korea // Blazer: Anthropologie // Boots: Steve Madden // Purse: T.J. Maxx

    Last minute trip to Amsterdam Part 2!  So like typical American tourists we obviously visited the I Amsterdam sign first and took a million photos.  It was a cloudy and chilly day which made the photographs turn out amazing and the I Amsterdam sign wasn’t that crowded.  After we visited the I Amsterdam sign and the Anne Frank House / Museum we went to the Van Gogh museum.  If you have a chance to visit the Van Gogh museum while you are in Amsterdam, I highly recommend it.  I mean it’s the Van Gogh museum… sunflowers and irises… come on people!  Read more

    Last Minute reis naar Amsterdam

    • Shop the Look Above: Dress: My Sister’s Dress from South Korea // Blazer: Anthropologie // Boots: Steve Madden // Purse: T.J. Maxx

    Last minute trip to Amsterdam…why not?  Halfway through our stay in Paris we were out late having dinner and drinks in the city.  After coming home to our hotel around 3am we got on the only computer in the hotel lobby and thought it would be a great idea to buy a train ticket to Amsterdam departing at 7am from Gare du Nord.  We had a rough time waking up after 4 hours or so of sleep…. so we were running late.  When we got to the train platform, no one was there and the doors to get on text train were locked.  Needless to say, the train conductor yelled at us and we thought they were not going to let us on the train but alas they felt sorry for the three dumb American girls.  So, we boarded the train and we were on our way to Amsterdam!

    It’s Wednesday so happy hump day!  Please take me back to Paris!  I’m reminiscing on my trip to Paris with these four lovely ladies.  You cannot go to Paris, France without visiting the Musée du Louvre.  The four of us waited in line to visit the museum and of course, to see the Mona Lisa.  Please note, I’m the little one in all black.  I wore a dress, sweater, leggings and boots to walk around the museum.

    Little White Dress

    • Shop the Look Above: Little White Dress: Bebe // Purse: Tory Burch // Pumps: Nine West // Earrings: David Yurman // Bracelet: David Yurman // Ring: David Yurman

    Happy Tuesday!  OK, I know, I know, technically no white after Labor Day…but I could not resist this adorable little white Bebe dress.  I mean basically it’s like a fall/winter white, right?  The peplum is so sweet and tones down the sexiness of the sheer top of the dress.  I’m not sure if you can tell but the top part of the dress is a sheer gold foil.  I got this dress last May for my birthday and couldn’t stop wearing it for the rest of the spring and summer.
