Hello beauties! I am a lover of simple, uncomplicated things in my life. From food, to hair to jewelry- I like things to be classic and easy. No matter how hard I try to mix things up, I keep coming back to clean lines and comfort. Enter this soft ruched wrap dress from Banana Republic. It's a great silhouette, I don't think you can wrinkle it, even if you tried (and I've tried!). And that's important to me because I can't even remember the last time I fired up the iron (Am I alone here? Is everyone else out there ironing away?) And a pretty pair of strappy but not too strappy sandals work just fine for the office. Not that we will ever need it in Southern California I fear, but a long cashmere cardigan would really complete this look once (if?) the weather takes a dip. A girl can dream, right? Hope your weekend was fabulous and this week is off to a fantastic start! As always, thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate each and everyone of you!!β€οΈβ€οΈ Michelle
A Pop of Color and a Pompom
Oh my goodness, how I love this bag!! I have always had an obsession with pompoms. When I was decorating my daughter's nursery, we had drapes and throw pillows made in pink and white toile and I added little pompoms to the edge of everything. Which my mom freaked out about because obviously, the baby is going to climb up the wall to get at the drapes and eat one of those pompoms and choke. Totally valid fear....um....wait...:) Anyway, those pompoms are EVERYWHERE this summer and I love all of them. If it has a pompom, (or a fringe, or a feather or maybe even a fur collar)-- I NEED it in my life. This bag is so cute and it comes in multiple colorful patterns that are all on a black background. Which is perfect for me, a person who wears black pretty much as a uniform. When I first saw it at Swirls in San Clemente, I bought two (one for my friend) and I should have purchased 10!! And I love these little scalloped shorts with this top (its on sale at Banana Republic right now- I linked it for you below). It easy and still a little conservative ( I'm sort of a like-to-be-covered up kind of gal) and these heels! From the Nordstrom sale! So comfy and perfect for summa time! I am also hoping to wear these to the office while the weather stays nice with a pants suit- I think it would totally work.
What are you doing this weekend? Do you have any fun plans in the works? I sure hope so! We are cramming in a date night, a trip to the Fair and a concert (my daughter's first real concert-- she will probably last 10 minutes, but still. We are calling it a milestone!), a swim party, and a trip to the beach. Holy To-Do List Batman. I was actually thinking (side note here) that it would be nice to have a Saturday where we played in the sprinklers, had popsicles and just hung around (my bestie calls it a 1980's summer day)...easy peasy. Right? I need to put one of those on the list too! Happy weekend to you, beauties! Sending you so much love! xxoo Michelle

White and Red on Repeat
Okay, do you remember that little white Zara suit I wore a few weeks ago? I posted about it and it was paired with those fabulous blue suede sandals? Well this is the blazer from that little number making another appearance!! And my outfit is fourth of July appropriate because I added my amazing red heels! Yayyy!! I am posing in front of my garage because that works in a pinch. I am CRAZY busy at work. I was in downtown LA yesterday from 9 am until 7:30 last night and I am in another deposition today (but its telephonic, which I appreciate!)! Phew!! It is casual Thursday here at my office, so it is jeans for me today. I am in a baggy jeans phase. If they are literally almost falling off my body, I seem to be in love with them. They are sure comfy, let me tell you! And this arm full of fabulous colorful bracelets? Well those are from the talented, beautiful superstar Vanessa @whatwouldvwear at www.whatwouldvwear.net Can you believe this lovely girl is also a jewelry designer? Incredible! They are GORGEOUS in real life! Go look at her site and check them out for yourself!
You guys! Our holiday is almost here! I am going to try and get home a little early tonight and rush around to get everything ready- are you ready? What fun plans do you have? Whatever you are doing, I hope it is just a perfect, fun filled day! xx Michelle
