I am quite ready for spring. I love the soft color palette of the season and the ability to wear girly outfits without worry of colder temps. This season I am looking to more ladylike pieces than I usually wear, items that are a bit more tailored, and even a few pairs of flats. I tend to gravitate towards boxy and boho, so I am excited to mix things up a smidge.

And of course, happy Valentine’s day! You can check out some of my Valentine’s Day inspired looks here & here and see how I am celebrating right here!

How to Have The Most Fabulous Valentine’s Day

We are just days aways from Valentine’s Day and this year (like many years) I am sensing a lot of negativity towards the holiday. Single friends, married friends, somewhere-in-between friends all seem united in turning their backs on the mushiest day of the year. Before we all shy away from the candy and cards, can we just stop and reconsider for a sec? Let’s stop thinking of Valentine’s Day as a day to receive love from others and start thinking of it as a day to give some much needed love to yourself and those around you. I think a day centered on love is a good day to stop and think about the things we appreciate in our daily routines, in others, and most importantly in ourselves (how often do we forget that?) No matter what the holiday is, I never want to miss an opportunity to celebrate and enjoy a treat or two — so single, married, or something more complicated, here are a few small ways to make the day feel more filled with love…

January in Instagrams

Happy Friday and last day of the month everyone! From Magnolia Bakery in LA to skipping down the streets of Lower Pac Heights in San Francisco, puppy birthdays and ringing in the new year at the W Hotel; the first month of the year has already been so fun! Be sure to follow all my adventures as we head into February on my Instagram!

a little wednesday whimsy

There is something I call the “squee” factor. It’s when I see a photo and I just can’t help but say “*squeeeee* how cute!!!” I don’t usually know why I love it, these images rarely serve any actual purpose for me. It can’t be explained, they’re just beautiful and addicting. It’s the factor that makes Pinterest and Instagram so engaging. It’s taking everyday life and somehow making it feel extraordinary and whimsical in some way. Today I wanted to share some of my latest whimsical finds. Looking at pretty images always gets my creativity flowing, so I hope these might inspire you!

For more of my fave images be sure to follow me on Pinterest and Instagram!
