This fall wardrobe essentials post is sponsored by Adyson Parker. All opinions are my own. The summer to fall transition in California is different than a lot of places. It is still relatively warm during the day, but the evenings cool off a lot. That’s why layering is so important. Since it’s starting to feel…
Halloween may look quite different this year, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be special. Halloween doesn’t have to be canceled this year, we just need to shift our focus. My kids won’t be trick or treating in our neighborhood, but we are still going to make an at home Halloween extra special this year. …
When in doubt, I always choose red clothes. Red is one of my favorite colors for a lot of reasons. It’s fun, vibrant, and it energizes to your look. Red is also a powerful color. It draws attention and exudes authority. I personally think red is a color that looks great on most people. It…
I’ve been obsessed with the Starbucks bacon gruyere egg bites for a while now. Before quarantine, I used to go to Starbucks several times a week for a change of scenery. I’ve worked from home since 2018, so going to Starbucks was my home office away from home. Generally, I would get the bacon egg…
One of my favorite styles of dresses are midi dresses. I personally find the length very flattering and sexy. I often talk about how less can be more. There is no need to show your entire body off to be sexy. You can be sexy by dressing more subtly. That’s why I love this polka…
Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables. I love it roasted, I love it steamed, and I love it as cauliflower cheddar bites and cauliflower breadsticks. There are so many amazing things you can do with cauliflower to lighten up a meal or make it low-carb. That’s why I decided to try making this cauliflower…
When I saw this colorblock high low dress, I was fairly confident it wouldn’t look that cute on me. But, I had to try it anyway, because I really loved the ruffle shoulders, high-low hem detail, and the interesting color choices in the colorblock. Since I ordered it online, I didn’t feel that much pressure…
If you had told me a year ago that the people who mean the most to me in the world are people I met on social media, I would have laughed out loud. If you had asked me if you can make real friends on social media, I definitely wouldn’t believe you. Ironically, my two…
Dresses are my thing. I love wearing dresses because they are so comfortable, feminine, and generally figure-flattering. Empire waist dresses are usually hit or miss for me, but sometimes they hit just right. This red floral empire waist dress is perfect for my frame, so I wanted to talk about how to choose and style…

I found this dress at Target the other day and I quickly knew I needed it. I love the stirred, stretchy bodice and the ties at the shoulders. It’s super lightweight and so easy to throw on over a swimsuit or a grocery store run. Because I love this one so much (and it’s unsurprisingly…
