Outfit of the Week

We've returned from our vacation and this morning, up very early with jet lag, inspired by my most recent lesson, I made a cake.  Over and over in my mind I was thinking, what an absurd idea that having your cake and EATING IT TOO is too much, or even wrong.  Why have the cake if you aren't intending to ENJOY IT!? I'm telling you, it was on repeat... odd I know, but I'm writing about it.  Sometimes, I feel like I've just received an assignment from the universe, lol. So I made a cake, and it's going to represent...

VACAY all day?!  That's us! We're in the mitten, visiting friends and family and introducing Lillian to the abundance of freshwater lakes, humidity, and FIRE FLIES! If you have never seen fire flies in person, it's worth the trip solely for how magical dusk can be.  This jumpsuit is the perfect getaway addition, easy to pack or wear on the plane, cute with sneakers, sandals, or a block heel, and charming enough to bring in all the compliments from your new found friends you make on your journey.   It's all about the journey.

This top is a great example of why we try things on.  She was hanging on our black and white rack longer than most, actually, longer than ANY.  You know how quickly things move in and out of our collection.  I was pulling for outfit of the week and I said, come on you sad little top, let's see what we can do with you with you. Upon trying I noticed the hanging of the hem, which gives shape and movement to the top - separate from your body, fun. The fringed trim is a stark contrast to the white denim, fab.  The...

My new favorite dress!  It's hot, and a linen dress is where it's at for a day on or a day off this Summer, and even into Fall.  I've been noticing a certain adult feeling to our Summer Dresses: smart, well tailored options that give you that feeling of "perfection" as you head out the door.  What's great about that feeling is what's missing:  strap pulling, hemline adjustment, waist tugging etc.  When your dress is appropriate in how it fits and feels, as well as "fitting" the occasion, you can stop thinking about it and move on to the very...

This Summer I've been enjoying restaurants more than ever before: sitting on a patio with someone helping shop for, prepare, and bring me food while I visit with my family, friends, little one.  Food at home is more challenging these days, with L at my feet, and you know how I feel about the dishes piling up!  LOL Last week we visited Little Frenchi in Coronado, where honestly the service and ambience were better than the food, but the sparkly evening where even my niece and nephew enjoyed their meal, was beyond a win and when we were asked how...
