Mad for Plaid

Have you seen all the houndstooth and glen plaid patterns in fall clothing this season? I'm just loving it all especially these cute slim fit pants in a slightly stretchy glen plaid that are a bon marche (affordably priced) from H&M.

Beauty Review: Saranghae Unboxing

I'm so excited to try the Saranghae 5 step Anti Aging Routine. It's a Korean skin care brand that is botanical based with antioxidents and amino acids galore. My package just arrived and I'm thinking first up will be the Elemental Essence Mask - it's touted as a vacation for your skin! For the next 30 days I'm doing the entire 5 step routine. Here is the unboxing of the package I received. Stay tuned for my review!

Orange Crush

I was looking around in H&M the other day and noticed a rash cute dresses, skirts, pants and tops in orange.  Coincidentally I had just put away a neon orange dress that I thought was done for the season.  Oh not so!  I pulled it out from summer storage and threw on a leather jacket and sock booties.  Voila - I'm dinner ready!

Summer or Fall?


Summer, Fall, Summer, Fall - what is it? What do you wear when your feeling all fall-like but the temps are screaming summer! I've got to admit this time of year has got me confused.  In this state of mind, I find myself wearing all black when usually I would be in all white.  I love this this sheer top which is under $50 and my sunglasses are only $12 on sale at Kohl's.  So take that summer!

Beauty Review: Dry Shampoo Challenge



I am just loving the dry shampoo craze the last couple years and I often ask myself, "how the heck did I survive so long with out it all my life?  I have tried a good many of them that are on the market. This is just a mere sampling of what I have tried.

Yellow Smiles Everytime



I am a huge fan of yellow.  Maybe it's because growing up my bedroom had a lemon yellow shag carpet and black and white polka dot Marimekko fabric shades and a waterbed! Crazy I know. But yellow stayed with me. So now you know why our home in Palm Spring ended up like this:

Modern Love


I recently ate at a fabulous vegetarian restaurant in Omaha called Modern Love.  There was not a shred of meat to be had but the Lentil Beet Burger tasted like a good old beef patty.  Don't miss the Roasted Brussels Sprout Aoli or the Seitan Gyros.  Next time I doing the Mac and Shew (cauliflower and red pepper cashew cheese).  Wine lovers don't fret they have a full menu of wine and cocktails.


Dressed in a Stella McCartney tee shirt, I felt I was playing the vegan game!  Her tee shirts are pricey but so well made from the dreamiest cotton. Carefully washed they last forever! Shop the look below.

What up Chi-town?


Recently I spent a week in Chicago and stayed at the fabulous Thompson Hotel near Rush street. The lobby has a super hip vibe and the surrounding neighborhood is filled with lots  of restaurants (many with outdoor seating) and upscale shopping.  So fun and highly recommended!



Love this Murakami print near the elevators.



There was most def a fall chill in the air. I barely packed enough cool weather clothes (summer where did you go?) but thank goodness I packed this darling WHO WHAT WEAR mutton sleeve sweatshirt from Target and my Chloe Susanna boots.  Perfect for lunch at Nico Osteria.  Shop the look below.

Fall Transitions





Is it just me or did I just wake up the day after Labor Day and suddenly it's fall?  Where did summer go?   I'm doing fall one day at a time starting with this transitional sweatshirt flounce top - it's only $18.99!   I'm not ready to give up my white jeans just yet either.  However, the assumption that there is to be no white after Labor Day is so 1990's!  #Expressyourself



I am a huge fan of yellow and this Bottega Veneta choker is a pop of color that makes me smile. And I found one for about 95% less.  Gotta love that!!!
