Outfit of the Week

Well today is filled with all kinds of anticipation: New arrivals to unpack, see below, I LOVE them ALL!!! AND, we are attempting to purchase a home, which if you know me, I've been working toward this goal for 5 years, and honestly a few before that, just not as aggressively. Like anything that takes time, and seems to be more challenging than it could be... it's rich with learning, whether I like it or not, and I may just be in yet another honors course (like my 20th PhD) or in the final stretches of a marathon I've worked...

Hi love! So, this is Lillian and I yesterday morning, I'm wearing very fun shoes and my new favorite jeans, link here, because I had to pep myself up as I felt a very heavy, anxious weight from the election. My aunt took us out for crepes at creme de la crepe in Hillcrest. I had a new awareness that while research shows that most EVERYONE wants and needs the same things, we are polarized in how to achieve them politically, AND there are a LOT of "associations" to the two parties. I believe certain things are true of people who...

I have just purchased a few new styles of denim, I'm constantly looking for the PERFECT fit at hip waist and length, who isn't?! I love a capri flare that is not too flarey and not too straight.

Whether it's the Santa Anas making me feel like I'm about to shed my skin it's so dry, or the...

I have just returned home from an overnight with Lillian in Palm Springs. This jumpsuit matched the decor by the pool, as well as my aperol spritz, haven't tried one?! Here's a recipe, you are WELCOME, and thank you Paula for the introduction, both to Palm Springs and the Spritz, lol. I love the floral pattern and the linen blend of the fabric, great for a warm Autumn day or evening. A jumpsuit is like a dress in that you are moving on to accessories lickety split, once you've decided to wear one, but also, a statement maker. Somehow it's bolder than...

Bonjour mon cherie... I'm here writing to you partly because I have finished watching the entire season of Emily in Paris and can actually get back to work during nap time. This show was about as necessary and uplifting for me as my vacation. (I've linked a funny article about why so many hate it, and yet watch it...that's not me) Honestly, so grateful to have had a week of lunches spent around Paris with this bright beauty, and her eyebrows:) I always have criticisms of cultural influence but overall I was inspired each episode, laughed out loud, said ahhhhhhhh too many...
