Every corner of Charleston is picture perfect, but this spot was one of my favorites from this trip 😍

Also I promise to never let this happen again for future trips 🤪 (Folly Beach & Salem coming soon!)

The temperatures were dropping this weekend so @breakfastatetiffany @simplybysimone and I headed up to Foxwoods for a Winter Girls Getaway to escape the cold ❄️

When we visited last Summer we kept saying we COULDN’T WAIT to come back in the Winter because everything you need for the perfect girls weekend - restaurants, bars, fun activities, THE SPA - are all under one roof and you don’t need to step foot outside! So we packed up and headed to Connecticut for the first cold weekend of 2023 and it didn’t disappoint!

My perfect favorites from the weekend were…
🧖🏼‍♀️Massages at @gspaatfoxwoods
🏮Dinner at @redlanternct
⛸️Ice Skating at the Winter Terrace

…but everything we did was so much fun and as always I can’t wait to go back! PS if you’re looking to book a trip NOW is the time! Book your hotel stay by March 10th to receive 20% off deluxe hotel room stays now through April 30 OR 30% off between May 1 and July 31!!

Room for Style

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet with a group of home decorators from Wallauer’s Design Center. They know color, style, pattern, texture and everything needed to pull a room together. And while we were chatting it got me thinking…decorating a room isn’t much different than dressing yourself. Who doesn’t like a well decorated room? The same goes for a perfect outfit.
Let me introduce you to my mom, Wendy. She is the reason why I am who I am, style obsessed & constantly changing. She’s been a decorator at heart long before it became her career. I grew up with her constantly rearranging furniture, reupholstering & adding creative touches to every room in our house.
Room for Style 
She taught me that color is the foundation of any room and you build from there by adding layers, texture, pattern and accessories. A room can be fully furnished with all the necessary furniture and still look unfinished. You finish a room with window treatments, artwork, area rugs and accessories just like you would finish an outfit with make up, jewelry and accessories.
All of this got me thinking…wouldn’t this be an awesome Blog Series?? 
I hope you think so because my mom & I will be collaborating on this new Room for Style series every other week!! We’ll be discussing ALL Things Style and how interior decorating & fashion go hand in hand! Some of the topics we’ve been working on are monochromatic looks, color blocking & mixing patterns! 
Here’s a Sneak Peek at a few rooms we’re currently obsessed with & the Spring 2013 colors we’re loving!
So what do you think? Are you as excited as we are about this Mother/Daughter Collaboration?

After 3 long years I finally made it back to the West Coast & of course couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stay in @theramblermotel in Chula Vista, CA. 

And I’m a sucker for colorful, kitschy hotel with a really good coffee shop in the lobby (that happens to be an arcade) so staying here was a no brainer for me 🌈

More San Diego content coming soon! For now check out my highlight for all the details of my trip!
