Last week I had to go shopping for some new items for an upcoming shoot. I haven’t shopped in the mall in forever. Most of my shopping, I do online, just due to lack of time. I missed perusing the mall because that’s the only time that I get to explore and spot trends. Almost…
Working from home has one major perk—I very rarely need to dress up anymore. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in a corporate setting, so I needed to have a lot of ‘work clothes’. My work uniform the last few years, was a blazer and cropped skinny pants, paired with heels. Although I don’t…

A year ago, when I first started thinking about moving back to southern California, LA wasn’t really high on my list. I always thought I’d end up in San Diego. Then I started spending time in LA and quickly realized just how much it has to offer. Although I still adore San Diego, for me,…
Last month, I asked you all what you wanted to see more from me. Several of you mentioned you wanted to see more of my casual, everyday style. So here you go. This is a standard look I would wear basically every day. This grey moto jacket is a staple I’ve had in my wardrobe…
This post and living room design makeover is sponsored by Safavieh. All opinions are my own. Full disclosure, I am not an interior designer. I do not claim to know everything (or much at all) about home design. But when we left Boston, I knew one thing for sure – it was time for me…
Last week, I mentioned how excited I am to have a lemon tree in our yard. I shared 5 of my favorite lemon recipes, and I’ve been contemplating what to make next. When I saw this glazed lemon cookies recipe, I knew it was something I wanted to try. I’m such a fan of a…

If you got the song reference above, you already know my big news. I’ve been sitting on this news for months. I wanted to get everything into place and make sure all was settled before I made a formal announcement. After four years of waiting, since I had to leave the first time, I’M MOVING…
This was not my first trip to the Caribbean. I went to the Bahamas (part 1 and part 2) back in 2014. But in those four years, I forgot about its beauty. I forgot just how indescribable the colors of the Caribbean are. Even though it looks pretty great in a photo, the colors of…
During the holidays, I’m sure you’ve heard people talking about taking the time to shop small, but have you ever really thought about what that means? Have you ever thought about where your dollar goes? Every time we buy anything, it matters. We’re buying into an economy, a way of doing business, and ultimately, making…
I received a discounted trip to Beaches Turks and Caicos. All opinions are my own. On my recent trip to Turks and Caicos, I packed way more things than I needed. I didn’t go crazy, but there were several things I didn’t end up wearing. Since I was there to attend the Beaches Social Media…
I received a discounted stay at Beaches Resort. All opinions are my own. I try not to regret decisions I make because I don’t make decisions lightly. I often spend days, weeks, months analyzing something before I make a decision, so I try not to question them. Since I don’t come to decisions very quickly…
