I’ve also teamed up with some other bloggers to give away a $500 Nordstrom gift card (check out the giveaway details at the end of the post). If you’re gearing… View Post
Last month, I had the chance to visit Lisbon and Porto in Portugal. I didn’t do much research in advance of my trip, but I was pleasantly surprised that the work conference I attended brought me to some of the must-visit spots in Porto. If you have a chance to visit, here are the 7 things you must see in… View Post

When I had my first child, I lost so much hair afterward. I didn’t give myself enough time for full hair growth after pregnancy because I got pregnant again when my son was 9 months. After I had my daughter, my hair was terrible. I wanted to keep it long, but I felt compelled to cut it really short (here’s… View Post

For the longest time I couldn’t get my 4 year old son to eat anything. Finally, he’s at an age where he’s more willing to try things. I’ve even found creative… View Post
If you had asked me if I could wear a jacquard dress, I would have said no. I would have thought the knit material would cling to the areas I try to hide. I never thought a jacquard dress would hang right on me. Well, as I’ve said before, you’ve gotta try everything to know what works on you. This… View Post
The very first time I visited San Diego was in 2005. My nephew was getting baptized right after Christmas, so we drove down from LA, after first visiting my husband’s family (we also got engaged in Laguna Beach on the drive down!). Needless to say, I fell in love with San Diego almost instantly. A major reason for my love for… View Post
Have you tried Moscow Mule recipes before? I’ve only tried one at a friend’s house, but I’m such a sucker for the cute mugs. It’s funny, I don’t even really remember what it tasted like, but I know I just loved the whole process of drinking them. There’s just something about a cute mug that makes everything better. The standard… View Post
One fashion trend we can’t shake is the tassels trend. I wrote about it last fall, and it’s hot as ever for summer. At first, the tassels trend was only for accessories, especially bags and jewelry. For summer, tassels are on everything – dresses, tops, swimwear, shoes. Honestly, I love them. The more colorful the tassels are, the better! Probably… View Post
I recently traveled to Portugal for a work conference. I opted to spend my first night in Lisbon before heading to Porto. Although I was massively jet-lagged, I was determined to see some of Lisbon in the few hours I had available. Luckily, Pats contacted me a few days prior to my departure, offering me a personalized Lisbon walking tour…. View Post
One of my favorite summer trends is the bright mango yellow color I’ve been seeing everywhere. Earlier this spring, I talked about the bright orange color trend, so it’s clear that bright fruity hues are major this summer. I found some really great pieces I’d love to add to my own wardrobe this summer. I’m especially loving all the ruffled… View Post
I’ve been to the UK three times, but never got to Stonehenge. This trip, I made it a priority to do a day trip to Stonehenge. My colleague from Bristol agreed to rent a car (they say hire) to take us around the English countryside. I thought we’d just see Stonehenge. Instead, he took us on a world wind tour of… View Post

One of my dear friends is pregnant with her first child. She’s been a bit nervous about it all, so I’ve tried to talk to her my experience. One thing we talked about early on was the baby registry must-haves you actually need. So many parents get overwhelmed and go totally overboard on buying way too many things. In all… View Post
