outfit recipe-silk blouse

October 1, 2012 |

This weekend was a blur of activities. It started out celebrating one of my favorite ladies with a girls night out at one of my favorite restaurants. The next day was non-stop: birthday party, soccer game, family dinner out, catch up on Boardwalk Empire with the hubs then to bed way too late. Sunday was spent shopping and prepping for an afternoon BBQ I totally procrastinated on. The afternoon was swimming, lots of cocktails (in hind sight, too many), bathtime, bedtime, HOMELAND! and off to bed, still too late. So why am I giving you every detail of my weekend? So you’ll understand why I’m too tired to come up with something charming to say about today’s outfit recipe of jeans and a great new silk blouse from Zara. I can muster up that it is a great back-to-school night look (yes, I wear jeans EVERYWHERE) and that I think I’m going to start collecting silk blouses. They’re comfy, classic and very versatile. If this one was worn with black pants, a blazer, or both, it would be great for work. OK, I guess I’m never too tired to talk about clothes, thanks for sticking with me on that one. Happy Monday!

outfit recipe-white on white

September 19, 2012 |

One of my best friends is from the east coast and the other day we were debating whether or not the “no white after Labor Day” rule still applies. (Yes, these are the pressing matters we’re addressing when we’re not talking about the kids, politics or world peace) She said it still does back east, whereas in California I say anything goes, pretty much anytime of the year. Reason 1,213 why I love living here. So here I am breaking all the rules wearing not only white, but white on white-scandalous! Plus it’s been about 1000 degrees here in the Val and it still feels like the blazing summertime, so maybe I’m in a time warp and not breaking any rules at all. Where do you stand on this important issue?

This weekend I plan to celebrate the beginning of summer with my favorite summer activities-laying by the pool, bbqing with friends and watching the kids scream through the sprinklers in their skivvies. Of course I’ll be in my summer uniform of a white tee and jean shorts, but with a little red, white and blue to show my pride for the good ole USofA. How do you plan to kick off the summer?
