Take Me to the Tropics

The grass is always greener...

I realize it just turned fall, but ever since our Anniversary trip was rescheduled a few weeks ago, I've been really aching to go on vacation. I know, I know, I live in California. But it's not quite the same when your doing dishes and laundry as opposed to staying at a nice hotel. I had planned on wearing this super cute tropical romper on our trip, but since we aren't going until sometime in October, I thought I'd let myself take it out for a spin :)

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

With all the recent hype on what's in (or isn't) in the infamous Starbucks PSL, I decided to forgo my usual 'First Day of Fall' treat. The normal version is too sweet for my taste anyways, so I would always add in a few extra expresso shots to get more of a coffee flavor. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to make my own version that didn't give me a stomach ache after drinking it!

Life and Style: Fall Free For All

Fall is here!! To kick off the season, the Posh Pair ladies and I decided to go with a fall free for all theme for this week's linkup. So break out your scarfs, hats, boots, or anything that says autumn to you! 

Even with this hot California weather, I'm determined to add in hints of fall into my wardrobe. The most I could get away with today was this chunky sweater scarf, but I'm hoping to add in some light jackets and boots in a few weeks if the weather cools down. Adding in fall accessories makes it easy to add or shed layers when your floating between the cold air conditioned office and the heat of the outdoors on lunch and coffee breaks.

Last weekend, Chris and I visited family in Chicago. As I mentioned on Wednesday, we were pretty happy with the chilly temperatures. It was over 100 degrees in LA that weekend, so it was great to escape the heat for a few days!

Life and Style Linkup: Booties

Chris and I went to Chicago last weekend, where we traded the high 90's of California for some much cooler 50's and 60's temperatures. Let me just say, I was pretty excited about this! Packing for the trip I was digging through drawers and closets to find all my favorite fall items. Not to mention a great dark lip to complete that chilly weather look!

Wow, this past week flew by so fast! It's another Life and Style Linkup today, and this week the beauties of Posh Pair and I are showcasing our favorite way to wear animal prints.

I guess that's how you know you're collaborating with the right bloggers :)

Leather and Diamonds

Happy Friday! Today is my first glimpse into fall fashion, and with cooler weather (hopefully soon!) comes sweaters, leather, and diamonds!

What better way to accomplish that than with a leather skirt and some Kate Spade diamonds!
