Black and White

Hi Loves! Life is pretty hectic these days, but busy and productive is always a good thing. Once I get a handle on how to manage all of the plates I have in the air, I can get back to a more normal blogging schedule. Superwoman is super tired. Here is a quick post of a classic black and white ensemble. I don't do a lot of patterns and when I do, most of the time, they are neutral.

Black and white never goes out of style.

My life is spinning at a fast pace, but I just have to hold on

Have you ever felt like there weren't enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you have to get done

Sometimes I have to force myself to smile and tap into that joy and peace that surpasses all understanding

 

These boots were made for walking. So comfy

Have an amazing day!

Happy Monday Loves! Time flies when you are busy. Are you excited about Valentines Day?

I am looking so forward to it. I have a very busy weekend starting with a brunch get together with friends, and then my Valentines tradition of taking my son on a date and then there is time set aside for me to enjoy a Valentines Day celebration of my own with Mystery Man. What are your plans?

If you have been following my blog awhile or you know me offline, then you know how much I love animal print of all kinds. I love to accent my wardrobe with a little meow mix:-) Do you like animal print? Today I am wearing a neutral palette with a pop of color from my shoes. The duster I am wearing is one of favorites because it is a simple and timeless cut. I still remember when my aunt bought this for me from Bergdorf Goodman when I was visiting her in New York. Every time I wear this duster I think about New York.

I think these shoes are the perfect punctuation mark on any outfit

Are you a fan of neutral color palettes?

Camel is definitely one of my favorite neutral colors

I am already imagining the Valentines Day cupcakes me and my son are going to have:-)

It has been awhile, but now I am back to posting recipes. I am always making things, but sometimes I am just way to busy to take photographs and blog everything I cook. I have been making a lot more salads recently and enjoying green smoothies and lots of water with fresh fruit, but I certainly love to indulge every now and again and especially on weekends:-)

Have an amazing week!

Colorful in Winter

Happy Tuesday! With so many things on my to do list, sometimes blogging has to take a back seat. Being a single mom means that sometimes my son's social calendar is busier than mine and that does not include sports and other activities. Wooh....mommy is busy.

But I do manage to squeeze in some fun in between the many different hats I wear. I am looking forward to some upcoming trips and they could not come at a better time because I am in need of a personal holiday:-)  As I promised, I am sharing some of my healthier recipes and if you missed the last post, the recipe is here for a great cranberry kale  brussels sprout salad. 

My ensemble today is a neutral palette of taupe and a bold splash of color. The light layers are perfect for our California temperatures.

I love the color taupe because it goes well with everything

Would you believe these booties were in the back of my closet and I forgot I had them. Without a walk in closet, sometimes I forget what I have because I can't see it. LOL
