Dolcetti Boutique – San Diego Shopping

When I visited San Diego for the first time a few years ago, one of the places that really stuck out in my mind was Dolcetti boutique. While browsing around the Gaslamp District, a famous area in downtown SD, Andrew and I finished up lunch at a local restaurant (it's called Seersucker - definitely worth a stop if you're in San Diego) and of course, I wanted to do a bit of shopping. Just a few doors down, I discovered my new heaven on Earth - Dolcetti boutique. It has the cutest clothes ever - ... VIEW THIS POST

Wear to Work: Outfit Ideas

One of the biggest requests I get for blog posts is ideas for work outfits! The office fashion game has changed a lot over the years - it isn't all about boring pant suits and pencil skirts anymore.

Pom Pom Obsession

Since we are officially in winter, I have been trying to lighten my color palette back up a bit. I am slowly making the move from black, burgundy, and olive to gray, blush, and cream.

In this case, I wanted ... VIEW THIS POST

Ski Trip Essentials

Next month, I am going to be hitting the slopes for the first time since I was a little girl! So basically, it's the first time all over again!

Ever since we booked the trip, I have been studying up on ways to look chic even in the lowest temperatures. What I've learned is to wear as many layers as possible and top it off with something extra stylish. I am usually a firm believer in fashion over ... VIEW THIS POST

The New Sweater Dress

When I hear "sweater dress," I think of an oversized, chunky cable knit that it usually paired with sheer tights and boots. This gives me a very 2006-feeling (namely because I owned one of these and styled it just like that - plus a black fabric flower in my hair). Thanks to the updated, incoming fashion, there is a new definition for the term sweater dress and it is much cooler. Nowadays, a sweater dress, or rather a sweatshirt dress, is an edgy twist on the former. During the cold months, I ... VIEW THIS POST
