Hi Friends!

So one of the best early birthday gifts I am getting this year is that one of our favorite couples from San Diego are coming to visit us later this week. The hubs and I are so excited to be able to do some hosting and entertaining. Although we have started to make our lives here in Buffalo (yes, I know it HAS been almost a year), it just hasn’t felt the same. The usual suspects who have been a part of our lives for so long aren’tΒ around and so it hasn’t really felt completely like home for us. The next few months will hopefully change that as we start to host more people from CA to our new neck of the woods.

Of course, living in Buffalo one of the main requests is that we go to Niagara Falls-something that the hubs and I have failed to do since our arrival here. So we are planning our touristy trek to one of the natural wonders of the world later this week, and of course, I wouldn’t be a good fashionista if I didn’t already have a plan as to what I’m wearing. Since its been warm and we are planning on doing dinner while up in Canada, I decided my casual yet stylish pleated skirt was a must. My cream tank and denim jacket (for when the sun goes down) are the perfect toppers to take me sightseeing and back.

It’s going to be a good week-I can feel it.

Much love,

Mel

Happy Monday!

I know that I have been sporadic with the blog posts so I apologize! There’s just been so much going on. This is our final few days in California. We started in San Diego and are now staying with my sister-in-law outside of San Francisco. I’m so excited to go and explore the city and maybe do a little shopping with my husband. It’s one of his favorite things to do. πŸ˜‰

We have had parties on each of the weekends that we have been out west so when I was planning what to pack, I knew that I only wanted to try for one dress that could be versatile for both events-plus being on vacation I wanted something that wouldn’t deny me my vacation food pleasures! I saw this number at Anthropologie on their sale rack and it fit exactly what I had in mind. I added the white blazer to give it a little bit of structure and my heels, which in light of how much standing I did, only lasted a few hours before I switched to flats. Either way, I felt fabulous and received multiple compliments, which made the parties even better. πŸ™‚

Much love,

Mel

Hello friends!

Sorry for the delay-too busy eating and enjoying our way through California! I bought this dress on a whim while visiting my old motherland, Nordstrom. πŸ˜‰ It’s my perfect traveling and strolling through our old haunts dress. We’re currently staying in the central valley of California so that means HOT. Ridiculously hot 100 degree temps so this dress and its lightness are perfect for this type of weather.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!

Much love,

Mel

Karaoke

One of our favorite things to do with friends San Diego is reserve a private room at a karaoke bar, order a few drinks, and let our hearts sing! So we decided that that was exactly what we were going to do while back visiting. We’re going to head to one of our favorite noodle bars beforehand so I need an outfit that will work for both scenarios and keep me comfortable-you can get really warm in those karaoke rooms!

Now that I’ve decided on what to wear, what to eat and sing?!

Much love,

Mel
