Finding the perfect leather jacket is like finding a rare gem. I’ve always been so picky when it came to choosing a leather jacket. I’m very particular with the fit … it needs to hug my body perfectly yet the leather can’t be too thick or tight that I’m unable to lift my arms or move around. For a while, I’ve been searching for the perfect cognac leather jacket that can be worn for any season… and I finally found it! Even better, it was 40% off! I find myself wearing this jacket with any ensemble … it’s just so easy to throw on!

Picture Time …

January 24, 2017

 Top: Free People OLD ONE (similar one), Jeans: J Brand Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans, Boots: Jeffrey Campbell ‘Cromwell’ Booties, Bracelet: David Yurman Cable Buckle Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: David Yurman Cable Classics Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: David Yurman X Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: Hermes Clic H, Watch: Movado ‘Bold’ Bracelet Watch, 36mm, Ring: Bvlgari B.ZERO1

Taking family pictures have always been so stressful because I wanted them to come out perfect but what I didn’t realize was that the best pictures are the candid ones. I was taking some photos of the kids and to have a 4 year old and 1 year old both smile and stay still at the same is a difficult task. Within 20 minutes of taking pictures, I was exhausted. When I finally gave up and the kids were playing and running around laughing, I grasped that in these pictures you can see their true smiles. I’m glad the kids didn’t sit still because it was a lesson for me to learn. The real good pictures are the ones captured in the moments of fun, laughter and love.

Decisions … Decisions … Decisions …

January 20, 2017

Top: Astr Knit Sweater, Pants: Zara Contrasting Side Leggings, Boots: Coach Tristee Rain Boots, Sunglasses: Chloe ‘Myrte’ Sunglasses, Bracelet: David Yurman Cable Buckle Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: David Yurman Cable Classics Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: David Yurman X Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: Hermes Clic H, Watch: Movado ‘Bold’ Bracelet Watch, 36mm, Ring: Bvlgari B.ZERO1

This past weekend was a good one. We did a lot of relaxing but it was nice spending quality time as a family. We started this thing called “Jordan day.” It’s a day where our son gets to decide what we do. After much contemplating from Jordan, he decided on a boys breakfast with just daddy and after, spend the day at the arcade as a family. We ended up at Dave and Busters and had a blast! Wow, have times changed since our Chucky Cheese days … not only did they have a ton of games to choose from but you no longer need to pay with coins. Instead, you load “points” onto a smartcard. YES, it has been that long since I’ve been to an arcade! LOL! Our son felt so empowered by just choosing what we did for the day … it’s nice to allow him to make some decisions for the family and have a say once in a while.

Embrace yourself and your style …

January 13, 2017

Top: Zara Knit Over-sized Sweater , Jeans: Zara Distressed Jeans sold out (similar one), Boots: Jeffrey Campbell ‘Legion’ High Boot , Sunglasses: Chloe ‘Myrte’ Sunglasses, Bracelet: David Yurman Cable Buckle Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: David Yurman Cable Classics Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: David Yurman X Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: Hermes Clic H, Watch: Movado ‘Bold’ Bracelet Watch, 36mm, Ring: Bvlgari B.ZERO1

As a mom sometimes you feel like you have to dress a certain way. When I was pregnant with my son, people would tell me, “Oh you’re going to have to change your style so you’ll look more like a mom.” I never understood what that meant. Is there a specific mom style? My style has never been risqué but on occasions I’ll wear high heels… distressed jeans … or even show some skin. My style didn’t change after having kids but what I wear on a daily basis has. I had to tone it down a little; I no longer wear high heels everyday to run errands or off-the-shoulder tops just because. My outfits have conformed to anything comfortable and kid-friendly. I’ll still wear my distressed jeans but I’ll pair it with an oversized sweater and some boots with a much lower heel. So just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you have to change who you are. Embrace your creativity and style.

Cali …

January 9, 2017

 Dress: Floral Cold Shoulder Dress , Sweater: Chunky Knit Lace Up Sweater, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell ‘Oath’ Peeptoe Platfrom Bootie, Sunglasses: Tom Ford ‘Linda’ Sunglasses, Bracelet: David Yurman Cable Buckle Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: David Yurman Cable Classics Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: David Yurman X Bracelet with Gold, Bracelet: Hermes Clic H, Watch: Movado ‘Bold’ Bracelet Watch, 36mm, Ring: Bvlgari B.ZERO1

One of the reasons I love living in California is the weather. It can be winter and you’ll still get some sunny days. Although it’s too cold for the beach, I still love grabbing a coffee and taking a stroll along the strand. It’s such a great way to clear your mind and start your day. Happy Monday everyone!
