Hello!
So today a great thing is happening, our friends arrive today from San Diego!!! Are you noticing the overuse of exclamation marks? That’s because I want you to feel how excited I am. 🙂
As I mentioned previously, we have a whole agenda planned for their stay in Buffalo, and one of the fun things we are doing is heading to see a Bisons game on Friday night. We then are planning on taking them to one of our favorite neighborhood haunts for some good old-fashioned Buffalo chicken wings. Because it’s Buffalo, obvi, and how do you NOT have chicken wings while here?!
So I wanted my outfit to be cute and stylish but also give me some room to power down all the food I will be shoveling into my mouth during the game and after. This flowy top and my new comfy jeans from Madewell fit the bill. The only thing that may change is my shoes cause I know that we will be doing a lot of walking…to the concession stand to the OTHER concession stand…to the bar… You get the point. 😉
Much love,
Mel

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’t 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

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. 😉 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

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
