I wore a version of this outfit to work on Wednesday. The idea was to tone down the metallic Tory Burch skirt I got for $50 at Neiman Marcus with a more-casual gold sweater. The final result was not muted…but definitely fun! Sweater -A chunky modern sweater with a light gold finish. Skirt – The…

Tiny floral arrangements are my favorite kind. My mom is so good about placing nosegays in the house when guests are around. Amazing how a few flowers on the bathroom counter makes your welcome special!  These were made with leftovers from the baby shower.

This was such a fun baby shower to host!  I’ve thrown all kinds of baby showers in the past with themes as varied as disco, library, mustaches and camping – but this was the first really girly one.  Jean and I started off with the idea of April (the guest of honor) showers bringing baby…

How was your long weekend? I spent mine down in San Luis Obispo helping throw a flowery baby shower for a family friend, April.  Jean and I drove down on Friday night and arrived really late. On Saturday morning, we woke to a gorgeous, frosty day that soon turned warm. How pretty is the view…

I’m really enjoying all my new fancy (and majorly on-sale) work clothes from Neiman Marcus. A particular favorite is a standout pair of wool trousers in peacock from Phillip Lim.

Just this week, I’ve scored sweet deals on 60’s-inspired pants and a sweater at Club Monaco and cool patent leather saddle shoes from Kenneth Cole. Neiman Marcus has been blowing my mind with their final sale. Over two days, I’ve…

My New Year’s resolutions include combating stress, stepping up my work wardrobe, wearing lipstick every day and hosting more dinner parties using the good silver and china! On Sunday night, we invited Seth and Amy over with their two young girls for a casual meal. I made layered enchiladas, swapping in homemade salsa verde and olives…

Doesn’t the first day at work after the holidays feel just like back-to-school? I planed an outfit for the occasion with a new sweater dress I found on vacation: Dress: French Connection knit sweater dress. More fuscia (as shown) instead of red as pictured. Found it for $30 at Marshalls outside of Seattle. Worked really…
