Classics make a comeback
This is a sponsored blog post written by me. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. As cliche as it may sound classics never go out of style. This is the case with Reebok’s Classic Leather sneakers. The Reebok classic line always brings some nostalgia. I remember having a similar pair growing up and now they are back and better than ever. The Reebok classic have proven to withstand the test of time and I am so exited to pair them with all my favorite styles. I love pairing sneakers with dresses for a more casual yet elevated look or pairing with my favorite fall…
Catalina Island Trip
Living in California the fall transition is almost non existent. So with October upon us it means that beach getaways are still on the calendar. Last weekend we packed our bags and sailed off to Catalina Island via the Catalina Express. I had visited Catalina Island before but this trip was much more special because Gabe was coming with me and because we were going to spend the night. We took the Ferry from Long Beach, CA early morning Sunday and arrived within less than 2 hours. You can take the Ferry from Long Beach, San Pedro or Dana Point which makes it super easy and convenient. You can check…
Palm Spring Instagram Locations
Palm Spring, CA will forever be a place where I can go to for inspiration. From beautiful cacti to palm trees. From pink houses to beautiful doors, its just so easy to get lost discovering new places. Hotels are a great place to go to and shoot. During my trips I usually book a hotel that is aesthetically pretty and where I will be able to shoot as much content as possible without leaving the property. Here are some of my favorite hotel and neighborhood locations: Sands Hotel & Spa Korakia Pensione: This boutique Hotel is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We stayed 1 night and shot…
Home away from home – A Staycation at the LAX Marriott
As you may know I live in Orange County but I spend most of my time in and out of LA trying to navigate through one of the worst traffic in the US. LA traffic is no joke but I love the city and my work requires me to be there. So staying in for the the weekend is the perfect idea and a guaranteed productive and fun weekend. This past weekend I had the opportunity to stay at the LAX Marriott Hotel. Gabe and I packed our bags and drove on a Friday night to LA. The hotel is conveniently located less than 1 miles from the Los Angeles…
Post Festival Hair Care
This is a sponsored blog post written by me on behalf of Pantene. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. Festival Season has pretty much come to an end for me. As much fun as it was styling outfits and creating festival hair looks, the desert took a toll on my hair. Back to back weekends of festivals meant that my hair was exposed to so much sun and dry heat from the desert. Jumping from event to event also meant a lot of dry shampoo and other styling products in between washes. I came back home with my hair feeling dull, flat and damaged…
A Desert getaway to Scottsdale, AZ
So one of my goals for 2019 was to travel more. I am not talking necessarily about booking an international flight but to see more of the US even. I had never been to Scottsdale except that one time I passed by on my drive to Louisiana from California (Yeah crazy I actually did a cross country road trip solo a few years back but ill write about that another day). I stumbled upon the most beautiful hotel and of course I had to make it happen. January is my birthday month and it also happens to be MLK weekend so that means a long weekend. The drive to Scottsdale…
The Perfect Holiday Dress
The holidays are upon us and I am sure you will be attending either a work Christmas party, a gala, a wedding or ringing in the new year. I feel like every year I struggle with finding the IT dress or just one dress that will be a big hit at the next party. Maybe I overthink it and end up with way too many options and then can’t choose. I picked a few looks that are easy to style, fit the occasion and are all under $200.00 The Little Black Dress This beautiful lace dress is under $200 and it will be a classic for many more special occasions…
Getting back on track (P.1)
This past few months have been so busy and it has brought so many opportunities but it has also affected such a big part of my life, my wellness. A poor diet, constant stress and lack of sleep and exercise started taking a toll on my body. We think we are invisible and we go and go but one day our body nudges us and remind us that it cannot go on (that was last weekend for me). My lack of self-care has snowballed into more visible signs and symptoms; skin breakouts, digestive problems, insomnia, anxiety and weight gain. Exactly a week ago i decided it was time to get…
