*Originally published in 2020. Updated for 2021! (Scroll to the bottom to see what eco-friendly practices I successfully implemented in 2020!) I’m not one to make New Year’s Resolutions because I NEVER keep them. But there’s one area of my life that I’ve been wanting to make an update to and that’s reducing the amount of waste I produce in… View Post
Lately, I’ve noticed that my skin is extremely dry. I thought maybe I wouldn’t have to deal with dry skin this winter because I live in California and it doesn’t get cold here – but I was wrong! The air is still dry and it’s having an effect on my skin! The past few weeks I started to notice some… View Post
*Pieces gifted in collaboration with Lunya We’ve all been spending more time in our pajamas and loungewear this year (at least I have!) so why not lounge in luxury? I first noticed Lunya last year around the holidays and fell in love with their washable silk pajama sets. I immediately put their pj’s on my wishlist! Fast forward to this… View Post
I know that most of us are staying in this holiday but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to forget about my holiday wardrobe! I actually bought this skirt last holiday when I was pregnant with the hopes that I’d eventually be able to fit in it! I’m happy to report that a year later I can finally squeeeze into… View Post
I’ve been a fan of Christy Dawn for a couple years now but never bit the bullet and purchased anything. But that all changed over Black Friday when I took advantage of their 30% off sale! I fell in love with this gorgeous green, floral prairie dress and had to add it to my cart. It’s not technically called a… View Post
I’ve had to replace all of my denim recently because I no longer fit in them! I’m 11 months postpartum so I’m still a little bigger than my usual size. Thankfully, Mott + Bow asked me if I wanted to try out a pair of their denim so I was able to pick something out in me new size! Mott… View Post
I LOVE fall coats but sadly, it hardly ever gets cold enough in California to wear them. That doesn’t stop me from buying them though! I picked up this long camel coat from & Other Stories last year when it was on major sale and I’m so glad I did! It really is a closet staple that will go with… View Post
I have a weakness for fall floral prints and DÔEN always gets it right. I recently posted about another floral DÔEN top, which I love, but the dark floral print on this Plum Top might be my favorite. I paired it with my Everlane Straight Leg pants to complement the fall colors in the blouse and I think it’s the… View Post
I’ve been obsessed with NAADAM ever since I tried out their lightweight cashmere dresses so I was really excited to add one of their sweaters to my collection. What drew me to this sweater was the structured shoulder. I think it’s a really cool update to the classic cable knit. Structured Shoulder Sweater This sweater is 90% wool and 10%… View Post
Now more than ever, it’s important to support small businesses! I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite small businesses and more specifically, Black-Owned small businesses to shop this holiday. (P.S. There’s still a lot of small businesses listed in my original Black Friday Post). Sometimes it’s impossible for small businesses to give discounts but as you’ll see below,… View Post

My school days may be over but this outfit has me feeling like I should be heading off to University in the fall! There’s just something about a houndstooth mini skirt that makes me think of schoolgirl uniforms. Hopefully, I’ve managed to elevate the schoolgirl look for my age but I’ll let you be the judge of that! Schoolgirl Chic… View Post
There’s something about the holidays that gets me in a crafty mood! I think it’s so fun to put on some Christmas music, grab a festive drink, and get to crafting! I first saw this easy DIY HERE and thought it would be the perfect project for me because I love Oui Yogurt and I’m down for any excuse to… View Post
I’m a huge fan of NAADAM pieces and I’ve mentioned them many times on the blog already. I swear by their lightweight tank dresses in the summer (which I’ve worn 9 months pregnant AND when I’m not pregnant). So I was excited to add this long sleeve version to my closet! NAADAM Dress Review Material This dress is a blend… View Post
Even though holiday celebrations might look a little different this year, I still think that we need to dress for the occasion! I’m kind of an expert at this because most years I don’t have any parties to go. Most of the time I end up celebrating at home but I still dress up. It’s an instant mood booster and… View Post
I’m continuing with my crafty Christmas DIY’s and today I’m bringing you a DIY Stovetop Potpourri idea! I didn’t know what stovetop potpourri was until I was researching for this recipe but it’s either dried or fresh fruits/herbs/spices that you simmer in a pot on the stove. It will have your house smelling like Christmas all day! I just tried… View Post

I think that we can all agree that this year has been…challenging, to say the least. I think women especially have had a lot on their plate this year with having to deal with taking care of their families at home… View Post
If you are looking for easy appetizer ideas for the holidays then I’ve got you covered! These crostini recipes only take a couple of minutes to put together and they taste AMAZING. The only difficult part is not eating them all before the guests arrive. Now, I know that holiday gatherings might be smaller and more laid back this year… View Post
When I did a poll on Instagram the other day, most of you wanted to see a gift guide with options around $50. So I’ve rounded up more of my favorite things $50 and under! I have some of these items already and everything else are things I’d love to receive! A lot of these items are unisex and would… View Post

I feel like it’s been soooo long since I’ve done a regular outfit of the day post. 2020 has been a weird year! But I finally got a change to get out of the house to visit The Row in DTLA and it was the perfect spot for photos because it was deserted! I feel bad for all the businesses… View Post
