Perwinkle blue that I am obsessed with!

Favorite 75 Degree Weather Outfit

I am very excited that the weather is nice in San Diego and NYC now.  I went home to California for the weekend and didn't know what to expect with all the rain that has been burdening them lately.  Luckily, jeans and a light sweater were the perfect combination for a trip to the beach for lunch.  I put together a little collage of 75 degree weather clothing for both coasts these days; when you can ditch the jacket, but can't quite bare those legs yet. Enjoy! xo

Love this picture I snapped of Ocean Beach, CA

I am wearing old white jeans from Nordstrom, Zara skinny belt, Urban Outfitters shirt, H&M cardigan, Michael Kors white watch, Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses and a Marc Jacobs purse.

Absolutely loving all white/neutral outfits with a pop of color.  I even managed to find a bicycle shirt similar to the one I am wearing in the photo above.

Wednesday Dose of Inspiration

It has been a great 5 days in San Diego with my family, finally back in NYC and trying to catch up on emails and sleep and friend time.  I have had a lot of these images on my desktop for weeks now, so figured I would share them with you, since my brain is not quite working yet to complete a bigger post.  So many of these images and quotes inspire me to be a better person, love a little more and just put a smile on my face. Enjoy! xo

Thursday Favorites

I am off to sunny (hopefully) San Diego tomorrow morning to see my family!  I do go home quite often, but haven't been home for about 4 months and really miss my parents, baby sis and of course my puppies.  It will be great to spend a long weekend relaxing and celebrating Easter.  Because I will be traveling, I am doing my Friday favorites a day earlier.  Enjoy!  Hope all of you have a great holiday weekend. xo

Hello, I Like You

Incredible video I came across on Vimeo created by Mixtape Club.

Paper Crown x Lauren Conrad

I am loving Lauren Conrad's new line, Paper Crown.  The Fall lookbook is out and it is just my cup of tea. The neutrals and black combined with simple pieces make Paper Crown a very wearable line.  Although I am not sure of the price point yet, you can expect to see me wearing some of these looks in the Fall.  Enjoy!  View the entire lookbook here and visit Paper Crown's site here. xo
