A Trip Down Memory Lane

Every month or so I head back to my hometown, Sacramento. It’s always nice to visit family and stroll along areas where I used to get into get into trouble (ok, not that much trouble). I start to feel really old when I catch myself saying, “I remember way back when…” We passed by the state capitol and memories started to flood my mind of my days as a State Assembly intern when I was 15 years old.

On this day, I wore one of my favorite maxis with a mermaid bottom and an open back detail. The material is super thin so I have to pair a cover-up for no nip sightings— a sheer, black, collared blouse with gold studs and front tie definitely did the trick! I showed off the deep plunge in the front with one of my fave gold pieces by Bobbi J.

Look of the Day: Cut Your Heart Out Cut-Outs

As I’m yearning for fall weather to hit my thermometer, it’s still hot as you-know-what. Thanks to end-of-season sales, I still get to buy summer looks for half the price.

While in Vegas a month ago, I spotted a long, flowy maxi dress from S.Y.L.K. with the type of cut-outs I’ve been craving for– cut-outs in the front! I’m a sucker for prints so, this one right here just reeled me right in and straight to the cash register.

For shoes and accessories, I kept it as balanced as possible so I wouldn’t overpower one with the other. I wore gold chain feathered earrings, a bare neck so I wouldn’t compete with the cut-outs, custom Bobbi J stone and Swarovski crystal bracelets, and leather, strappy studded sandals that I’ve owned for years and years.

Today, I’m heading on a plane back today from Vegas after SIX long days. Yes, you read that correctly. SIX days in Vegas. Don’t get it twisted, it was half work and half play. Coincidentally, my best friend’s birthday extravaganza lead immediately into the MAGIC convention. 
After days of shopping, laughing, gambling, partying, walking the strip, checking out vendor booths, making purchases, networking, and the like, all I want to do is be comfortable as possible. What do I call comfort? A long maxi dress! I’m loving this look with wedges studded wedges and the pop of color with a cobalt blue satchel. Even though I’m currently not in wedges, I wish I wasn’t so terribly exhausted so I can strap on a pair. Sandals today it is!
Anyway, they’re calling for my group to board—cattle call style on Southwest. Happy Thursday!

Winter Maxi Look

Still trying to figure out how to wear a maxi in the winter? It’s a lot easier than you think. Just pull out your favorite maxi (preferably with a long sleeve or if pulling a maxi skirt, grab a long sleeved top), grab a pair of tall boots and layer up with a vest. Pair your look with accessories like a waist belt and/or add another layer with a scarf. Voila! You’re done.
Peep my picks below:
Faux Shearling Vest: Drome, Maxi Dress: Tucker, Clutch: Matthew Williamson, Belt: McQ Alexander McQueen, Earrings: Isharya, Tall Boots: Gucci
