No matter what your style, taste, interests or desires may be, there is a place for you in LA!

I found myself praying the other day, while driving, that I won't ever lose the awe and amazement that I feel for the little things. Especially for all the different types of food, vintage, art, flowe[...]
Hi Beautiful! Welcome to the first of my Cafe Friday series! Prior to moving to LA, I started compiling a list of places to see. I looked online and did the typical tourist search inquires.

As momma, that made my heart sink a bit. I immediately felt myself go into "FIX IT" mode. LOL... Moms you kn[...]

IS FALL YOUR FAVORITE SEASON FOR FASHION? It's never an overly exciting time for me personally, when Summer comes to a screeching halt and the temperature begins to fall. What makes it an even more challenging season FOR ME, is when the temperature imitates an unpredictable rollercoaster ride. Every year I try to force myself to find fashionable & fun Fall fashion pieces to incorporate into my wardrobe, in the attempts of not falling into a hum drum style rut. I haven't always b[...]

That's being said! ;) I'm on a mission to wear as many of my summer loves as possible.
