Summer Style & Travel: Mexico Edition It’s hard to believe that two years ago, I was writing a post about what three dresses I planned to wear as I pranced around Italy and Greece on our honeymoon. That was the trip of a lifetime and seems like forever ago… but I guess time certainly has a way of flying when you’re making babies and moving in to a new house. From Oliver’s amazing health, to Jonah finishing 2nd grade with flying colors, and Peter graduation with an MBA from UCLA (and working full time!) we have so much to celebrate and in my opinion, deserve another fabulous vacation! (Cue the St. Regis, Punta ...Read More
Get your kids stylin’ with some fantastic duds from the Spring collection at The Children’s Place!  EVERYTHING is 50%-80% off- NO EXCLUSIONS! Next month, Peter, Jonah and I will be heading to Maui for a little Spring Break vacation and 1 year wedding anniversary celebration. I’m so looking forward to sun, sand, relaxation, and time with my two favorite people on the planet. I’m also looking forward to dressing for sunshine and all things Spring! When it comes to dressing my little guy, The Children’s Place is a perfect place to grab some cute Spring essentials and vacation must haves. Most days, Jonah is a basketball shorts, comfie tee kind of kid (which ...Read More
When I got a call from the awesome team at Monrow clothing asking if I was interested in hosting an exclusive sale to my readers, I think I blurted out YES before they could even complete their question. I am a tee shirt girl through and through and I have been in love with the  V-Neck tees from Monrow for years. Soft, oversized and the perfect dip in “V,” I wear these puppies with basically everything. Seriously, I’ve been wearing the Granite V-neck Tee so much lately that Jonah asked me if I had anymore clothes. Since I work from home, “getting dressed” is simply a term for working out, showering, and changing ...Read More
I could write a really long intro about the announcement I’m about to make, but let me just cut to the chase: Our wedding has been featured on J.Crew  and I am literally bursting at the seams with excitement!!! JCREW. AHHH! In August 2013, just a few weeks after Peter proposed, I was lucky to have to go New York to shoot some videos with LifetimeMoms. While I was there, I not only ate my weight in pizza and champagne with one of my besties, BUT I made an appointment at the JCrew bridal salon on 5th Ave just cuz. The Percy gown was the second dress I tried on… Simple, elegant, comfortable and ...Read More
When it comes to following fashion trends, there are a few sites and blogs that I turn to for inspiration and ideas. (#ootd bathroom selfies not withstanding). But these days, if you asked my Amex (and my husband), there’s one site in particular that gets my “have to have it” heart. Yep… It’s pretty safe to say that Piperlime is my other man. In fact, I confess: I’m kind of a Piperlime style slut. Between Olivia Palermo’s picks, and the other awesome contributors, I feel like I’m always getting great ideas and updates on new arrivals and how to style them together… and sometimes there are even site wide discounts or flash sales. Best days EVER! ...Read More
When we started thinking about our honeymoon, we turned to Katie of Ever After Honeymoons for some serious guidance. We got married in March but our honeymoon wouldn’t be until mid June. It’s not too often that two adults with full careers, an MBA program (for Peter), and a child are able to take 2 weeks off… from it all! So we felt pretty lucky. Of course, our budget wasn’t unlimited, so we had to do some careful planning. With Katie’s help, we decided we’d go to Italy and Greece and stay in 3 cities. First Stop: Amalfi Coast, Italy With Katie’s guidance, we opted for the stunningly gorgeous Palazzo Avino in Ravello. ...Read More
In San Francisco, on set at Joyus.com. Wearing a fabulous popover blouse in black by Velvet. Exciting news! Last month, I signed on to be a new host for a great site called Joyus.  Joyus is a startup out of San Francisco and has quickly become a leading video shopping destination dedicated to bringing you the best of fashion, beauty, and healthful living.  I’m so honored and excited to be a part of their team and share my thoughts and tips on some great fashion and accessory finds.

Wedding, you say? What wedding? Please, I’ve moved on to Honeymoon. In just a few weeks, Peter and I will be heading to Italy and Greece for a two week  carb-tastic, black-sanded, three coins in the fountain type adventure. Thanks to guidance from Katie Frederick of Ever After Honeymoons, we’ll start our trip on the Amalfi Coast, then Rome, then to the island of Santorini, where ultimately I will explode from 12 days of pasta, pizza, and wine (all at breakfast)….  I mean, when I tell you that I am planning our entire trip based on food and when/where we’ll eat, this is no joke. But while I’m not obsessing ...Read More
I’m a girl who likes a plan. I thrive on order and system. A Virgo through and through, there is no detail “too detailed” and no perfecting “too perfect.”  So you can imagine how out of my little Type A comfort zone I feel right now, battling a head cold. Nine. Days. Before. The. Wedding. Sniff. As I sneeze all over the computer typing this and sipping my coffee, (Oh, you thought I’d say “tea,” huh? Yah, right. I’m getting married in 9 days, work full time and have a 6 year old. Coffee it is), I realize that there are actually a  few things that I have ZERO control over. And ...Read More
A few weeks ago, I was showered with love by some family and dear friends at one of the best bridal showers I’ve ever been to! I promise, I’m not just saying that because it was for me… Okay, well that definitely helped, but honestly, the hosts of this party happen to be chic, creative, and extraordinarily generous so each and every element blew me away. From the flowers, to the party favors, to food and of course, some very special gifts, I walked away not only feeling very lucky an special, but also with some great ideas for future parties of my own! Because of the attention and time that ...Read More
