I’m a bad mommy. I dress my daughter in her brother’s hand-me-downs. The shock, the horror, the embarrassment! In all seriousness, I only put her in his old jeans (that appear unisex) and his old pajamas (yes, they have trucks and dinosaurs on them, but no one sees her but me and her dad). I…

If you’ve been to Arizona, you know that sunglasses are a non-negotiable with that blindingly bright sun most of the year. Now that it’s summer for the rest of the…
Most summers, I go back home to visit my parents, old friends and extended family. This summer, I’m bringing Rocco with me so I can introduce him to everyone. The thought of lugging an infant and all of the things he needs so I can take care of him while away (diapers, formula, baby food,…
Nothing says summer to me quite like a crisp white dress. White is one of those colors that fashion police have almost made a crime any other time than between memorial day and labor day. This hard and fast “no white after labor day” rule is a bit antiquated, and white can actually be quite…
Denim is one of the hottest trends for spring. I’m absolutely loving the resurgence of denim everything. Of course, denim has been popular for many years, but the denim on denim trend only comes and goes. This year, the more denim, the better. I recently found this long denim vest or long denim jacket and…
Since I just went to the Bahamas and Florida and it’s going to be in the 80s this week in LA, I needed to get some new beach cover ups. If you’re heading off to spring break or just need to add some new beach wear to your wardrobe, read on to read about some…
There is no better summer accessory than a floppy sun hat. There are three major reasons why I believe every summer wardrobe should be centered around floppy sun hats. 1. Provides Sun Protection The number one reason I started buying and wearing sun hats is because I need the sun protection. I live in one…
Wedge sneakers have been around for a few years, so I’m a little late to the game of actually owning a pair. I know some blogs and fashion sites say they are out of style, but I think every girl should own a pair of high-top wedge gym shoes for these four reasons. 1. Wedge…

Every year in January, I realize I don’t really own the right types of coats to live in LA. The weather in LA is normally so mild, that I rarely need anything more than a sweater or maybe a denim jacket. But in December through February, it can become deceptively cold-feeling, even if it’s in…
I’ve always avoided jumpsuits. They hardly ever were flattering on my figure. Most often, my torso was too long so they would fit all wrong. But after years of avoiding them, I found one that finally flatters my figure. Ironically, it combines another fashion trend I have often avoided – wide leg pants. However, I…
