HOTEL DEL CORONADO

I am so excited for our friends wedding this weekend at the historic Hotel Del! I am getting my nails done at lunch, packing tonight, & getting a spray tan tomorrow.  Oh how I LOVE weddings!  I will post pictures when we get back.  *Best Wishes to the Bride & Groom!

SISTERS

I just realized that J Crew has a SISTER Company called Madewell.  Good news RIGHT! So I had a few minutes to spare at work and I decided to check out their website.  I found some great accessories that I want to add to my closet very soon.  I am not a big belt person but I came across these 2 great ones....the skinny leopard is $48 and the camel stud belt is on SALE for $24.99 woohoo!  I also loved this black scarf that comes in red and cream for $39.50.  The silk bromley blouse in white wash can easily be dressed up for work or can be paired with a pair of jeans for an easy casual look priced at $98. http://www.madewell.com/

BACK TO SCHOOL

So my sister Kailey has always been a little Fashionista!  My Mom and I totally value her opinion when we go shopping because she keeps us young and hip!  So yesterday she showed me her new shoes for school and I was amazed at how cute they were on.  I think these Vans are a little more preppy like the Keds and Converse shoes you see every where.  These are perfect to throw on and go with your more casual outfits and they are great for traveling.  They are priced at $40 and are called the "Palisades Vulcanized."

WEEKEND GETAWAY

One of my BFF's from college got married last weekend at the Pelican Hill in Newport Beach.  The wedding was PERFECT in every way and the Hubby & I had so much fun!  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our amazing weekend!

MENTAL NOTE

Ann Taylor Loft $29.99

Urban Outfitters $78

J Crew $98

J Crew $118

Every store I have been in lately seems to carry their own version of a military/field jacket.  I bought the top one from Ann Taylor Loft a month ago for quite a bit more but now it is priced to steal!  I love mine and it is great for layering and you can totally dress it up or down.  I listed a few other choices if you are in the market for one of these jackets for Fall.  Make a mental note to look for this style the next time you go shopping & you will see that this is a great piece for your Fall wardrobe.

SUMMER FIESTA

I love Mexican food!! I think I could live off of chips, salsa, and guacamole! 

1. I will start with the tortilla chips called Have'A Corn Chip. They have a unique soy sauce taste which sounds weird but they are a must try. They are made in Laguna Beach but I found them at Whole Foods. 

2.The Wholly Guacamole Spicy is a must have in your fridge it lasts longer & it comes in 2 packages so you can use as much as you need and save some for later.  It is the best pre-made guacamole I have ever had! 

3. This citrus squeezer from Crate & Barrel is great for fresh lime juice for homemade Margs!

4. I wanted to post this picture for decor ideas.  I love the idea of serving salsa in a margarita glass to keep with the theme!  

5.  Corona Light with lime aaaah!  Put on ice and put in a fun bucket or serving piece and use as centerpieces on your table!

CLUTCH TIME

I have been searching for a cute reasonably priced OVER SIZED clutch and I found this one at Urban online in the SALE section for only $19.99.  What a steal right....I love the patent look! I think I am going to order the grey one because I already have a black clutch that I love.  This clutch can be paired with a casual day time look or an evening outfit.  

Colors pictured black, grey, & coral.
