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

Hello friends!
In the continuing story of our Aunt and Uncle roles, the hubs and I attended our niece Chloe’s first dance recital yesterday afternoon. Sitting amongst friends and family, it’s crazy to think that we have started this stage of our lives-the ‘childrens events’ stage. Where has the time gone?! I’m not even a parent and yet I find myself saying more and more “Slow down! You’re growing up too fast!” to all the little people in my life. Especially since my husband and I are still trying to grow up ourselves!
So while I ruminated about how time truly is speeding by, I also realized that I had no clue what one actually wore to a dance recital. Could I get away with a tulle skirt as well, as I’ve seen other bloggers wear, or would they think I was part of the show?! So after conferring with Chloe’s mom, my bestie, I decided to play it easy and came up with the outfit that you see here. The blazer was perfect so that I wouldn’t get cold, and the rest of the outfit loose and stylish enough in case I had to tackle a dance mom. And no, I don’t know WHY I would have to tackle her but I just wanted to wear the appropriate thing in case it was necessary. It is the world of dance after all. 😉
Much love,
Mel
PS->make sure you check my Instagram daily as we are heading back to California for two glorious weeks, starting Tuesday, and we plan on stocking up on as much mexican food as we can. 🙂

Happy Thursday Everyone!
One of my goals as a wardrobe stylist is to ensure that every piece in my clients wardrobe evokes a feeling of confidence and empowerment. I mean, in a perfect world pajamas would make every one of us proactive and confident, and who knows, if you’re someone who can take on the world wearing pjs, then kudos! But for the majority, the only thing that pajamas makes us confident of is that the couch or bed are in our immediate future. And maybe some Netflix bingewatching to feel like we’ve done SOMETHING with our day. 😉
Every time I wear this lace pencil skirt, I feel that sense of empowerment. I know I’m damn good at what I do and I have the confidence to move forward, in both aspects of my professional career. Hopefully you have something that evokes confidence in you too, if not, best get to shopping.
Much love,
Mel

Greetings friends!
Don’t Monday holidays sometimes feel like a mixed-blessing? Sure, it makes Sunday that more relaxing-knowing you have an extra day to play around, but then there’s Tuesday. Man, oh man, Tuesdays are just like a superstorm of Monday and Tuesday’s crazy combined! Good for you if you can make it through a post-holiday Tuesday without channeling your happy place at least once.
This past Monday, the hubs and I took a slight roadtrip to Toronto. We have family there that we wanted to see, and of course run a few errands and try a new brewery. On our way there we stopped at one of my favorite towns, Niagara-on-the-Lake. I went there for the first time on my 16th birthday with my mom and from that point, it has held a special place in my heart.
Since it’s one of my happy places, it felt only natural to wear one of my new happy tanks from Anthropologie. This has special meaning as my hubs bought it for me as a “Congrats on the New Job” gift, so it’s double the happiness.
Do you have something that you wear that makes you happy???
Much love,
Mel
