A couple weeks ago, I traveled back east with the fam to New Hampshire for a pretty bitter sweet adventure. ✈️ It was nice to see that side of the family as it is a rare occasion (sweet) but we were all there because my grandpa passed away (bitter). ❤️👴🏼❤️

As sad as the trip was there were definitely more magical moments then I could’ve dreamed of. One of which being seeing a REAL FALL! 😄🍁🍂 No joke it was my first time seeing foliage (😬 California girl much?! 🙋🏼) but OH MY GOD. There’s really nothing like your dad waking you up with a fresh coffee ☕️ , Dunkin donuts 🍩 and news of the stunning light and colors outside…perfectly existing for a blog shoot 📸 (thanks Dad 😘).

👇🏼📽👇🏼 Slash check out the BTS footage Dad snapped of the shoot below!👇🏼📽👇🏼

Every girl needs a camel coat if its truly fall, and it is. 🐫😉 Shop my favs in a range of prices!

Facing Fashion Regrets

Posted on October 20, 2016

Regrets…lets talk about it. We all strive to lead a life without them…right? But they creep in no matter what…😳

As a fashion addict/blogger, I think its super important not to get comfortable in your style. Keep it 🆕- growing, changing, shifting and evolving. Occasionally that come’s with a few “why the EF did I wear this out of the house?!” LOL. Or sometimes that risk turns out in the most compliments you’ve ever received!😃👏🏼👏🏼 Just being completely real with you guys….It’s not all magic 😜

And why do I even bring this up? In all honesty, I’m regretting the Birkenstock choice 😬😬😬 haha. TBH, I was hungover 😵 and without thinking the birks slid on my feet HA. Thank god I was decked out in The2Bandits jewelry with a big black hat because most eyes we’re up 🔝…birks unnoticed (score!) 💯

You know …I almost didn’t post the look because of this epic shoe regret lol #realtalk.😣 But thats life. And this is REAL life. So here’s the look.👀🖖🏻😏 Outfit regrets are something we all have but you know what?! Who cares! You live and learn. I expect ALL of you to be taking risks and making fashion mistakes…. ya never know, one of those risks could land you the world. Let this error inspire yours! 👍🏼👍🏼😆

Trend Spotted: Leopard

Posted on October 18, 2016

Get it?!?!? Spotted?!! 😝😜 😝 All jokes aside, I’ve been noticing a serious increase in leopard print this fall. I know what you’re thinking… isn’t that every fall?? NO! This fall, is THE MOST EVER.💁 Even Sandro Paris has a leopard print coat in their FW line (👈proof). 💃

But out of all the leopard things in the world, the two most important items for any women’s closet are leopard shoes and coats. (I mean… let’s be honest, when are shoes and coats NOT the main act?!😆😉)

Strut your stuff in these:

Zero f*cks given when you rock a leopard coat

So in the words of Zoolander….Leopard is so hot right now 🔥🐯🔥

Let’s Get Tropical at Palm House

Posted on October 14, 2016

Hoooooooo-kay. Palm House FTW!!!! It’s seriously my new jam, (besides the fact its in the Marina 😝😝). The other week I was invited there for a supa cute lil’ blogger dinner (sorry rubber ducks will not be on your menu hehe 😜😆) and got to check out all the new food items. Shouting it now from the rooftops: BEST meal I’ve had in awhile!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍽💯

The new Chef Brennen has done everything right. Ate my way through a lot of the menu and DIED. Or maybe I should say…LIVED (evidence below🤗). Party time in my mouth! 🎊👅🎊

Some highlights:

Ceviche – not sure what spice was in this but the flavor was unlike any ceviche i’ve had before and sooooo delicious. 😋
Fish tacos – loved that they weren’t fried or battered! its tough to find out here. 🐟
Coconut shrimp – ugh its that thing on the menu I alwayssss can’t resist and these gave me he perfect reason not to! 🙌🏼🍤🍤
Jerk chicken – was next level. probably my absolute fav of the whole meal and what I would order coming back. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

And don’t even get me started on the cocktails! 🍹🍹 I was so pleased to find that they weren’t too sweet…Praise the lord cause most tropical drinks are. 😣Like seriously though, even the passionfruit PUNCH BOWL was moreee then drinkable – if you’ve had a fruity punch bowl elsewhere then you know what I’m talking about. 😬👉🏼😁 My favorite one though? The mezcal drink with Ancho Reyes Chili Liquor (my new obsession so I was stoked to see it used in a drink here!) was OUT-STANDING. 👌🏼🍹

Palm House is for sure my new obsession and it needs to be yours too.🌴🍹🍽😛🌴

The Hottest Sneakers Right Now

Posted on October 11, 2016

It was love at first sight.🔥❤️ But just as quick as it started, it ended.💔 So goes my love affair with the oh so trendy Rihanna X Puma Creepers that made a splash in everyone’s heart awhile ago and then vanished.👀 But one thing’s certain…they made their impact. Now, in true fast fashion form Zara an other similar retailers have made cheeper, off-brand replicas. TBH, I’m quite happy about it! Especially because I got to sport these bad boys for several months prior to the release of Creepers Pt. 2 which happened a little over a week ago! ⭐️👟⭐️

And I am LOVING the platform sneaker trend. It’s the perfect amount of added sass to my sneaker game. That little something extra when I want a bigger impact then my converse. A little sporty, a little edgy. Grab a pair cause athleisure is going NO where.💥

Since many of you keep commenting on them on Instagram I figured I should track down ALL the flyest platform sneakers, both on and off-brand, for you to SHOP SHOP SHOP!! 🤑👆🤑 Also, check out some styling inspo below too…😉👇

YES. 📢

And just like a true fan, I’ve read her 349 page biography and hunted down her 90s Sex Book on eBay. But one thing has always been missing….

Drink Here: Liana Estates

Posted on October 3, 2016

Last weekend I was lucky enough to preview the beautiful Liana Estates Winery before it opened YESTERDAY! 👏👏👏🍷🍷🍷 Started by the two daughters of the Peju Province Winery, Liana Estates (a combo of their names Lisa and Ariana 😉) has everything you’d want from a new winery in the game. Aka they made the right move opening up an “experience winery,” since there are already 600+ wineries in the area. 😯

So what does that mean? Continue Reading
