Feeling Orange

Happy Thursday loves! Almost forgot to post this week. Actually today it is a scorching 91 degrees, so the outfit I am wearing was worn before this heatwave. I am actually packing away my fur because it looks like it is time to break out my cute spring and summer outfits:-)  This weekend I am planning to celebrate my sons birthday and planning to have a blast with him on his spring break next week. That means nonstop fun and of course with me and my foodie in training, lots of good eats!

Since my son's officially birthday will take place on spring break, I had planned on taking cupcakes to his school like I usually do and his teacher told me that bringing treats was not allowed in her class because it makes  the other kids whose parents don't do it for their birthdays, feel bad. So she has one big birthday celebration at the end of the year for the whole class. I was a little bummed that I couldn't bring cupcakes, but my little guy still has a great celebration coming this weekend that will knock his socks off:-)

Are you ready for summer? Today I am participating in a fun link up over at Happiness at Midlife. Join the link up here

Loving the nice weather, but I can do without 91 degrees. For me 75-80 is perfect weather. Not too hot and not too cold.

I keep wanting to get back to my regular posting schedule because I have so many great recipes to post and great restaurants to share with you, but since I am so busy these days,one post a week might be my new normal until things slow down a little.

Have a great week!

Neutral and Black

Happy Wednesday! Just a quick post. Busy Busy Busy, but the best kind of busy:-)  Looking forward to a few fun events this weekend. Hope your week is off to a good start. Most people associate bold color and animal print as a part of my signature look, which is definitely true, but I also love neutral colors because they blend so seamlessly with everything and are timeless.

Today I am wearing a simple ensemble of taupe and black and I love this strappy cage heels. I used to have a white pair many years ago and they were one of my favorite shoes to wear in the spring and summer.

These black pants are becoming my favorite go to pants because they are so comfortable and I wear them often. These heels and bag are one of my favorite parts of this outfit.

Enjoy the week!

Connect the Dots...

Happy Monday Loves! I had a great weekend! I hope you did too. The weather has been amazing, the days are longer and I can taste spring. I am feeling joyful indeed. I always love an opportunity to get dolled up and I recently went to an event where I got to wear this cute flirty polka dot dress. I love dots, stripes and animal print. I did a bit of pattern mixing by combining my animal print clutch with my polka dots. It is a pattern clash, but I think it works:-)

 I had so much fun taking these photos that I hope you don't mind that this post is a little more picture heavy than usual:-)

Everything's coming up roses:-)

I love the unusual way this clutch is made. You can find some great stuff on Ebay. I have had this clutch for years, but it is still one of my favorites

 

Have an amazing day!

Classic Trench

Hey loves! Happy Monday and hello March! They say it never rains in California, but every once in a while, we get a little much needed rain. My weekend was busy, but fun. So much going on, so many exciting projects I am working on and so many great new people are coming into my life. So happy that we are heading into spring and March will be a hectic month indeed, but one of the things I am looking forward to the most this month is my son's birthday:-)

Spring is on the horizon, but since we got a bit of rain it gave me a chance to wear my trench coat and boots. I had actually started packing away my winter attire, but weather in California can be unpredictable at times. I think a classic trench coat is a staple item that every woman should have in her wardrobe. What do you think?

 I love the way this green looks against the animal print on my bag

Whenever I wear a trench coat and a hat, it reminds me of how private investigators used to dress, LOL

Walking into some new things! 

Have an amazing day!
