Happy Tuesday, lovelies! I hope all of you had a great weekend! My family and I spent the weekend hiking through the hills of Livermore, CA. The view was just spectacular and NO (!) I didn’t hike in this outfit (I changed accordingly for the shoot). We went to Brushy Peak Regional Preserve which is a 1,702-foot landmark at the juncture of the San Francisco Bay Area, the California Delta, and the Central Valley. We really couldn’t have asked for a better day, and I must say: California, you are beautiful but Chicago will always be home.

As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Friday, dolls! We spent a fabulous day at the beach in Santa Cruz (could you think of a better way to kick off the weekend?!)! My son absolutely LOVES the ocean, and I must say: The longer I stay here in Nor Cal, the more I fall in love with it! Santa Cruz, and its boardwalk are so much fun! We went on a couple of rides, including one that almost made me sick (eek!), ate hot dogs and played at the beach until most of us got sun burned!
I hope all of you have a wonderful summer & thank you so much for stopping by! Your support truly means a lot to me!

Happy Wednesday, dolls! WOW! I’m in love with California! My family and I headed to Sausalito a couple of days ago and I was simply in awe! What a cute little town, so serene and darling! God never ceases to amaze me! The nature is simply breathtaking…Anyhow, to keep things comfy, and yet stylish, I decided to wear flats for the day (crazy, right?!) AND I’m wearing shorts YET again…I simply cannot help it!

What’s your favorite clothing piece/item this summer?! I would LOVE to hear from YOU!

As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Monday, darlings! I’m super excited about this post today because I’m wearing an amazing t-shirt I received from CALAPHYA. It is a relatively new brand – yet certainly one you need to keep on the watch! Anna Soustina, founder of CALAPHYA and her team of talented artists and designers was founded back in 2012. They were “inspired by the idea of creating fine art and design for everyday life and sharing it with women everywhere” (read their full history here).

I’m really in love with my shirt because – not only is the design absolutely unique and beautiful – but at CALAPHYA they design and assemble their products here in the USA. Their collections of women’s tops are already here, made from the world’s finest cotton, which is grown in California. So, what is not to love about them? Check our their amazing styles here, and see it for yourself.

Greetings from sunny California, darlings! Today’s blog post is a little different because a) I’m posting fun pics of my son as well and b) because I’m not in Chicago but in San Francisco! My family and I are having a blast with our loved ones out here! We couldn’t have asked for better weather and/or company! And guess what? Kingston went on his first mini roller coaster ride with all of this cousins! He wasn’t scared at all, in fact, he asked for more rides after. He truly had the time of his life! Just look at his face – it’s too precious! Such a happy, little man without any fears!

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great weekend!
