Sucker for Zara

admin — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 12:00:57 +0000

My name is Michelle, and I’m a sucker for Zara . . . Yes, it’s true. I have a problem like most of us do. I’m addicted to Zara. Though to me it can be quite an overwhelming place to shop with all the trends of the season and most of the time just too much to look at. It’s exhausting, yet I keep coming back for more. Like an addict, and the fact that they have kids clothing too?! Done, just take my wallet and all my money. I will just eat rice and beans for the rest of my life with my daughter (true story, that’s all she will eat. sigh). But seriously, what I do love about them is that they do have all the trends and must haves for the season. SO if you are up for the shopping challenge and have an idea of what you are looking for they are, to me, the most practical and affordable place to shop for all the seasons trends that you may not be ready to invest in. So coming from a full time, exhausted working mom little time on her hands, here are a few helpful […]

West Coast Holiday Dressing

admin — Thu, 22 Dec 2016 11:00:50 +0000

Want to talk about Baby Brain? With the commotion of moving, work, all the craziness of the holidays oh and growing a mini human being in your belly, I completely forgot about posting my holiday dressing for the West Coast. Smh. So we will make this short and quick because, well you get the idea. Temperatures are a bit on the warmer side here on the west coast despite a few colder weeks and rain. Yes, rain! Hallelujah. I was only 14 weeks pregnant when I shot this look and this top made for the perfect monochromatic holiday outfit. Flowy enough to hide the awkward pudge of a baby bump forming but with a little skin and shimmer to feel elevated and appropriate for a fun night out. Minus the alcohol of course. Now currently at 23 weeks, this top won’t cover much but you bet it will be patiently waiting for me in the back of my closest post baby girl. Funny how 9 weeks on a pregnant lady can make you look and feel like a completely different person! I have fought off the nausea and moved on to heart burn. This will make for a fun holiday season of […]

Marrin Costello’s Kiss Collection

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 12:00:37 +0000

Sarah and I met Marrin Costello a few years back just as we were beginning our blogging journey and we have kept in touch with her ever since. She is one of the sweetest people we have come across and her passion for jewelry lights up in every piece that she has designed and created. Each collection is unique and genuine to her style and craftsmanship. Whether you like chunky pieces, dainty layering jewelry, body chains, studs, fringe, you get the idea, there is something for everyone. I jumped on the opportunity to view her Kiss Collection a few weeks back where I snapped some photos of the awesome party she threw in conjunction along with the styles. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this collection is perfect for suggesting or giving a thoughtful gift this year. Everything retails for under 200 and is made with cubic zirconia, 18k gold filled, and rhodium plated sterling silver. Check out the full collection here. Join us this Saturday, January 23rd at 8412 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood. MARRIN COSTELLO & MERCEDES NATALIA present the launch of MCxMN The Collection – a combination of classic pearls and delicate chains with a modern twist. Hosted by Nars Cosmetics […]

The Crop Top Trend

admin — Tue, 11 Aug 2015 11:00:05 +0000

Crop tops are not going out of style anytime soon. They re-emerged in 2011 and have yet to fade out as we see them making their way down the runways of Fall 2015 and I’m sure we will see them again very soon in Spring 2016. Crop tops have proven to be a staple item. The next time you’re editing your closet, consider holding onto your crop top(s) as history has proven that they’ll come back around. They have made their rounds throughout fashion in various forms – from collared, short sleeve styles in the 1940’s to cut off sweat shirts and tees of the 80’s aerobics era. When you think of a crop top, you think “all out” (abs, belly button and all). Well, this is what I love about the selection of today’s crop tops, we can get creative and put our own personal style in today’s options. Whether it’s a high waisted fitted skirt for a curvy night out or style it with a pair of cut off shorts for a relaxed, good-vibes feel. Below I paired a Free People’s crop top from South Moon Under with my go to Enza Costa high rise, wide leg crepe pant for more of a flowy, day to night look. […]
