California Trip

This past weekend, the Boyfriend had work commitments in Laguna Beach and I naturally took the opportunity to tag along ;-)

We stayed at the beautiful St. Regis Hotel and Resort in Monach Beach, minutes away from Laguna Beach. The view was breathtaking!!!

I could of not asked for better weather!! I got some much needed Vitamin D, and caught up with two of my great girlfriends (Martha Montgomery and Kristin Mulligan) who conveniently live on the beach.

On Saturday, Mark went off to work and  I begun my day bright and early with a little workout in Laguna with Kristin.

We did various exercises going up and down these steps. I love how active everyone is here!image

After our workout we met Martha at The Stand, a Vegan restaurant. Food and smoothie were A-M-A-Z-I-N=G!!!

A vacation is not a vacation without a tropical drink or two right?! Our next stop was to The Rooftop Lounge for their famous Mojitos ;-)

On Saturday night, we rode down to L.A for the night and stayed at The London Hotel.

We had a blast going out and catching up with some friends in West Hollywood!

Overall the trip was super fun and relaxing!

Can’t wait to get back!

Annie & Austin’s Wedding!

OVER THE WEEKEND I had the privilege of watching one of my favorites in Atlanta walk down the aisle and marry the man who has kept her happy for the past 10 years!!

Since the wedding was NOT in a church I choose to wear my favorite lavender Bill Hallman (Atlanta based designer) cutout dress!!!

( obviously the color of the night was blue and lavender. NOT intentionally!! )

GETTIN’ DOWN TIME

love my new Zara studded flats :-)

Ever since the weather begun to warm up and I realized it was time to store my dependable, everyday French Connection black  boots, I have found myself changing outfits a million times every morning because I owned ZERO flat shoes!!!!

Frustrated, I went immediately to the mall.

ANNDDD what I  found was this beautiful, black, gold studded sandals from Zara!

I wore them with an American Apparel top and French Connection shorts.

I topped the outfit off with a simple studded bracelet from Forever21!

Boxed Neon See Through Clutches!


For the past couple of days, the weather in Atlanta has been screaming ” It’s officially spring” and I’ve been really enjoying playing in my closet to see what I should keep, throw away or invest in the new season!

One of the things I decided I MUST buy is this adorable, boxed, neon, see through purse!!!

( I have seen this repeating trend by various designers lately from BCBG Max Azria to Valentino…so basically…I am sold!)

The one I have featured here is by Juicy Couture!

Skater Skirts – Lambadaing Their Way Back!

Is anyone else as obsessed with the “Skater Skirts” as I am ?!

This may or may not resonate with anyone else but me, BUT I have been addicted  to the silhouette since 1989.

You know, when Kaoma launched her music video for the song “Lambada”

(of course the appropriate wearable version do not show off your Brazilian ;-) )

Anyways, needless to say. I am stoked that the silhouette is making it’s way back around!

Here are a few of my favorites!
