I’ll admit-I’m a little “meh” on the buffalo check look that has gotten so much play this winter season. I …

During the holiday season, more often than not, most of the events we go to tend to be on the lower key side, rather than something more formal. And it also can be cold. So I’ve worked to combine both warmth and comfort with holiday sparkle.
This outift has quickly become one of my favorites because it meets all the criteria. A simple sweater and jeans but wait! There’s more! A chiffon pleated back on the sweater and glam elements-like these pointed toe sparkly flats from Sole Society and my blingy necklace. Talk about a kicked up casual outfit and perfect for any lower key holiday events. Add in a cute snakeskin bag and the only thing missing is the spiked eggnog…mmmm eggnog. ‘Tis the season!
Much love,
Mel

Hello strangers!
I’ll be honest-with summer in full effect and our friends visiting last weekend from San Diego, I haven’t really set aside any time for blog pics. There’s just have been other interests that has made me abandon my blogging responsibilities these past few weeks. But I haven’t forgotten! I’m back and actually feeling reenergized in my blogging responsibilities.
With that said, my friend and I found this amazing skirt doing one of our shopping crawls through my neighborhood. We used to do them in San Diego and it was a great way to spend some girl time and also see the stores that are around me here. I love the length and just the shape of the skirt, and of course it’s blue and white striped so you can’t go wrong with a classic print. I paired it with this red and blue top for a mixed print, stylish look I love. Its going to be my go-to outfit for our anniversary dinner next week with friends! August is going to have a lot going on for us-it starts with our 11 year wedding anniversary, my 37th (wth?!) birthday, our 1st year anniversary as Buffalonians, and my hubs starts his second year of graduate school. Just a few more years left before he’s done with classes and our next adventure TBD begins. Crazinesss!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!
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
