Greystone Mansion
Eddie and I headed over to Greystone Mansion Easter morning to do a little exploring before getting together with family. It’s a property I’ve never visited before and it was such a beautiful day, I knew it would make for a lovely holiday outing. The estate is owned by the city of Beverly Hills and the grounds are open to the public daily - no fee for parking or admission! It’s such a hidden gem, tucked away in the hills with a breathtaking view of the city. We didn’t explore inside the mansion itself as it’s is only open during special programs and events, but I hope to take a peek inside at some point in the future. The grounds alone are worth a viz though!
In The Golden Afternoon
California has had a pretty crazy year what with the fires, flooding, and extra rainy winter. But the result of all that is something truly spectacular - a beautiful wildflower super bloom. Right now throughout Southern California there’s a floral explosion happening! Hills, deserts, and canyons are covered in beautiful poppies. It really is magical!
A Walk In The Park
I’ve found if I’m ever a bit stressed or feeling overwhelmed with work, a simple walk outside in nature really helps to clear my mind and make me happy. I’m the sort of person whose mood is very much affected by my environment and what’s around me at any given moment. Whether it’s in a crowded grocery store, shopping mall, or sidewalk with people in a hurry and brushing past, or the daily LA traffic with drivers honking their horns, constantly cutting you off - I very easily become stressed and anxious in these sort of conditions. I wish I wasn’t so affected by external forces! But a bit of nature always does the trick to elevate my mood, calm me down, and simply reset. Away from cars, crowds, loud noises - just grass, trees, plants, and wildlife to keep you company.
Bronze & Blooms
I can’t get enough of this bronze shade lately! It’s so earthy and gorge, don’t you think? I always feel good wearing this color, I just love how it pops. While Eddie and I were visiting Vista we took some photos at our Airbnb wearing my new fave dress by The Odells in this shade. Funny story - we actually got in a bit of a bicycle accident the day before these pics were taken, so I was limping around with a swollen knee and scrapes in between shots bahaha. Pretty pitiful, but funny in hindsight - and the scenery was too gorge not to capture! :)
Navy Blue Holiday Party Looks
I can’t get enough of this rich, dreamy shade of blue lately. It’s so classy and understated, but still makes a big impact. I wanted to share two of my go-to holiday party looks this year, both featuring navy. I also rounded up a bunch of gorge navy pieces from some of my fave brands, to recreate these looks for yourself.
Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens
I'm on a quest to visit all the Los Angeles botanical gardens I can get my mitts on and finally crossed this oasis off my list over the weekend. The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens is a wonderful educational and research institution in San Marino, and the grounds are absolutely stunning.
Easy Summer Style with Sperry
It's my fave time of year! Summer always makes me happy. Warm nights, pool parties, road trips, and bbqs - I'm alllll about it. I love the laid back, fun-loving vibe in the air - seems like everyone's living their best life during these months. I wanted to share one of my fave types of summer outfits, perfect for any of your summer activities - relaxed and comfy, but still cute and stylish. Made complete by these gorge Sperry loafers!
Cozy in Camel
By now you probably know that comfort is key when it comes to my style. I do love to get dressed up and throw on a pair of heels every now and then, but my day to day outfits consist of mostly flowy, loose pieces paired with flats, sandals, or boots. This two piece look has got to be one of my comfiest outfits to date! Plus I can never resist this camel color, I lob it so much.
