I love me some turtles. This top just makes me happy. You know what else makes me happy? Cocktails. Which is exactly the reason why I would wear an outfit like this. Combining two of my favorite things is the perfect formula for a stylish great time.
Hope everyone is ready for the weekend. I know I am…although to be fair, I was ready Monday morning too. 😉
Much love,
Mel

Hi friends!
I have to admit, whether its the vitamin D I’m getting, getting to spend time with friends from CA, or whether it’s because we are starting to make friends here and settling into a routine, I’m feeling better. More like myself. The hubs and I are social creatures-we love entertaining and being with friends, and although I still miss our old life in San Diego, we’re getting more into a routine here which is helping us both get over the, quite frankly, HUGE location shock of being in Buffalo.
So when I’m feeling lighter internally, I show it externally by wearing lighter colors. Although I can’t wear this outfit currently in our 90 degree weather-something that sucks no matter what coast you’re on, this outfit will be on rotation once it gets cooler again at night. And by cooler I mean 65 degrees. Anything below is still an abomination. That’s not me. That’s just science. 😉
Much love,
Mel

Happy Wednesday!
I love having outfits that I can wear to work that I don’t have to put any effort into. In fact, I have tried to build my closet so that even if I oversleep I can go and just grab something with very little thought and still feel confident in what I’m wearing.
This outfit is a great example of this. Not overly complicated, but still stylish and pulled together. It took me more time to actually get out of bed then it did to get dress-that’s a win in the morning!
I just have to mention how in love I am with my new shoes-these pointed-toe Sam Edelman flats have been a dream come true. I love it when a pair of shoes fit perfectly-I may not be Cinderella, but I got me some glass slippers. 😉
Much love,
Mel

Hi friends!
I think this has been my repeated refrain over the past few weeks, but things have been crazy, and our traveling has completely thrown my blog schedule out of whack. So I’m sorry if you’ve been anxiously awaiting my regularly scheduled blogging-we’re back in Buffalo now and that means back to business!
I have been getting a lot of questions from friends and family regarding rompers for adults. And yes, I’ll admit-when they first came on the scene with jumpsuits, I said an automatic “NO” to even the idea. We’re not in grade school anymore. We’re grown adults-shouldn’t we look the part?! But, as I mentioned before, it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind, and so I have. Within reason. I still tread carefully when looking at rompers but I took a chance and found one at my ever-faithful Anthropologie during their tag sale. So here I am-romping around. Now where’s my juice box and mat for nap time?!
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. 😉
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. 🙂
Much love,
Mel

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

Happy Wednesday!
As I mentioned previously, the hubs and I are spending the next two weeks back in California, and as excited as I am about traveling, I’m a nervous flyer. Yes, I know all the arguments on flying is the safest form of travel but turbulence still freaks me out and it only seems to get worse as I get older.
So I try to make the rest of the experience as easy as possible on myself, starting with a laid back traveling outfit. Normally we take red-eyes when flying somewhere so I get as close as I can to wearing pajamas, but since we were flying during the day, I knew that I had to look a little more presentable. So I went for the good old-fashioned standbye of jeans and a tee. Definitely helped me through a long day of nerves. Oh and I guess the xanax helped too. 😉
Much love,
Mel
