90’s Grunge

I love that the whole 90’s grunge look is back.  Trends are so cyclical, and this is one that I am more than happy to see making a comeback! Think plaids and flannels, distressed denim, slouchy beanies, burgundy lips; lots of black and biker boots. Throw any of those pieces…

Leather on Leather in San Francisco

So earlier this week I shared this outfit with you guys-and as promised here is the date night version! I am a sucker for all black ensembles, but this outfit needed some contrast to break it up and this fab silk blouse from J. Crew was perfect.  The quintessential outfit…

Aquarium with the Babes

One of the perks of being a parent is getting to share what you love with your little one(s), and as a self-professed animal-loving nerd, I will take any opportunity to go to the aquarium.  We have a membership at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, and Big…

Simple Sophistication

Sometimes simple is best.  A soft knit sweater, leather leggings, boots and a low pony tail are simple and still elegant.  The majority of my time is spent in sneakers, boyfriend jeans, and tees so getting to put on some heels and feel a little more sophisticated is always refreshing….
