 Can I just say?? I'm in love with this little white lace dress the moment I laid eyes on it! The lace and laser cute detail is so good an I also love the structure of the dress. It's definitely an all year round dress. Since it's Fall-ish here in California I decided to wear it with my blue boots. For this season I think this dress will look great with anything that has chunky square heels. It is sold out but I found a couple of similar ones. This dress will definitely be a favorite for a long time. 

By the way brunch last weekend was successful. On the menu: we had 2 different kinds of quiches, of course a charcuterie, salad, donuts, raspberry sour cream coffee cake, salmon with cream and capers on a baguette, some yogurt and fresh fruit, and mimosas. Now that we have a little human brunch just seems to be the perfect time for a gathering. Carter did so well, he just chilled with our friends and he just played and enjoyed his new toys. He is now enjoying a walker and this standing saucer thing where he can rotate and around it are all fun little toys and music stuff. It was so much fun to spend time with some great friends we seldom ever see because of everyone's busy schedule. 

Well I can't believe it is almost the weekend again. How has week been going?

LEATHER, LACE AND PRADAS

 

Happy Friday guys!! I had a really great start today. Carter decided to sleep from 7:30PM- 7:00Am!! 

I mean he sleeps pretty good from like 7:30PM and would wake up once at like 5 or 6am to feed 

then sleep again for a couple more hours. It's pretty good unless he is undergoing a growth spurt or 

some sleep regression. But it really makes such a huge difference when you actually sleep straight 

without so much interruption, you just feel so much rested in the morning. 

So we went and got a Starbucks treat for me and we were able to sit out in our patio since it was still 

nice and cool and I was able to do some work there. 

This week has been kind of nuts for me. Carter's sleep patterns are changing, so this week I tried to 

re-schedule everything to fit in to see when he wants to do his naps now.  So I have to schedule 

everything around it and hope we get a pattern down this week so when we resume back in to 

schedule next week that he would just fall asleep at his "nap time" wherever we are.  Funny, re-doing 

your whole routine and schedule is actually exhausting and I felt so scattered this week. But I think 

we got his new nap times figured out and hopefully next week would be much smoother. 

Before we continue though, I would just like to remind you guys that you can still join our $500

So anyway, let's talk about this outfit!  Oh my gosh I totally fell in love with this dress as soon as I 

saw it!! And the price I can't even believe for the style and quality. It's totally a must have piece in 

your wardrobe.  Because the color is neutral you can totally do so much with it. I wore it with my 

moto jacket to balance off the daintiness of the dress and give it some edge. And these Prada 

sunglasses  in this color - I'm totally obsessed with!! Like Obsessed! I totally love it!! It just goes 

with everything, dressed up or down!! Really!! Thanks to ShopDitto, I get the chance to try it out 

and now I know that I actually want to invest in it and own it. So you sunglass lovers out there, Shop 

Ditto might be perfect for you! You pick, you use and swap it out to another designer pair whenever

Hi guys! This post I have for you tonight is when we spent and explored Sausalito, Ca. It's pretty close from where we live and it's really really nice. You can take quick ferry rides to San Francisco and I think to Napa as well. They are also knows for house boats, and I mean  "real" house boats that cost millions to build. Funny how it's so close from us but we've never explored that city. We always head out to San Francisco, Napa Valley and Tahoe but there really are a lot more cool cities to see around Northern California. 

The other little town we visited too is called Tiburon. It's so so nice and quaint. Also by the water, it's really beautiful and definitely quieter than Sausalito. Sausalito is also known for great restaurants and the one we went to was superb! My swordfish dish was SO good and Mark's grass fed burger was probably one of the best burgers I have tasted ever. It was a really a great day and I'd love to go back explore more of it since we had a late start that day.  

And speaking of late starts, well I guess we were rushing and completely left one of the most important things I should never, ever leave home without --- can you guess? Well, we freaking left our camera! Ha! So please forgive the quality of these pics but at least we have some photos from that day! 

And one of the other great thing that happened that day?? I guess one of my instagram friends who I only met through instagram, was actually sitting right next to us at lunch!! Straight from NYC!! How crazy is that?! So random but the power of social media is pretty. darn. amazing!! If it was not for instargam our paths wouldn't even have crossed! I've met so many great & inspiring people on instagram and other social media platforms and it's just so fun and wonderful. A great creative community and like minded people that help and support each other. 

Hope you enjoyed this post!!

TRANSITIONING TO FALL WITH ROMPER AND BOOTIES

Hi guys! How are you doing this week? As for me I am literally fueling on caffeine these days! 

We have a movement sensor monitor in baby Carter's room and now that he is moving around so 

much whenever he is in the corners of his crib, the alarm has been going off. Last night I had to get 

up 3x times for that.  We have made adjustments to its sensitivity but we have not quite nailed it 

down yet. So we'll for sure be working on that tonight. 

Anyway, for being a first time mom, everything from being pregnant to now is just such a wonderful 

and crazy experience! I can also totally see how easy it is to just get stuck in the wonderful baby land 

and just stay in sweats all day.  I personally refuse to do that, I thought that it's still important to 

take care of myself and that I would feel better if I did and that it was worth the extra effort. And I 

think it's good for all mommies to still take care of themselves. When mommy feels good, and is 

happy, it's easier to to tend to the baby's needs therefore more chances of having a happy baby. :) 

 But I just recently realized that yes, I was dressing up everyday but it was pretty much 

"Meh" style wise. Like my mojo was gone...And I am so excited to post these pics because I think 

this was the time I realized that, and I think I finally got it back.  It's ok to still 

wear cute and fun clothes even if you are already a mom. Haha I know this is a little more risque 

than normal but it's good to have fun every now and then. And really what I am trying to say is for 

moms out there who think they've lost touch with dressing and styling  themselves up, it's still in 

you,  just waiting for you to tap it!
