Pretty Palms

Hello from California! These pictures were taken at the Del Coronado Hotel where we stayed for a night. Let me tell you, we spent every single second taking in all this adorable beach town had to offer. I wore this palm printed jumpsuit Friday night for dinner in downtown San Diego. Funny story, our good friends from Austin were actually vacationing here at the same time. Of course we had to make arrangements to meet up with them and swap California stories. Small world, right?

SHOP MORE PRINTED JUMPSUITS

I found this jumpsuit at Marshall's right before we left for vacation. I know. I know. I told myself that I wasn't going to shop for several weeks, but I am WEAK. No willpower, whatsoever! I just couldn't resist the palm tree print and beach side hues. If this isn't the epitome of summer vacation attire, I don't know what is. If you were in my sandals, I think you would have been suckered in too.

Sorry to be short. We have a date at Disney with a few princesses, Mickey Mouse and some serious roller coaster rides. I hope everyone had fun weekend. I know we didn't take one minute for granted.

Thanks for stopping by!

Tied in Knots

We are headed to sunny California today for a late summer and much needed family vacation. This is our second year and planning to make it a yearly tradition (last year's recap here). We cannot wait for an almost 30 degree temperature drop, to bask in the sun, become official beach bums and rub elbows with Mickey Mouse. I will try to respond to questions and emails as much as I can, but plan to unplug and enjoy our time away. Be sure to follow our adventures on Instagram, if you're interested. :)

I have been counting down the days since we booked our trip several months ago, but the only thing tugging at my heart is Gus, our fur baby GSP. He is a momma's boy and doesn't leave my side when I am at home. This is the longest we have left him since we took him in last December. Our neighbors stepped up to take great care of him while we are gone, but I still can't get past the idea that he will think we abandoned him. My belly is a little twisted and tied in knots about leaving him. Maybe we will take him with us next year. Ha!

SHOP MORE PRINTED KIMONOS

Another thing that's tied up around here is this tribal print kimono. I thought I would show you guys two different ways to wear it. You can leave it draped open or tie it in the front. I got this one at Mays Street Boutique and the owner told me they only have two left. If you're interested, give them a call at 512-248-2555. They will ship to U.S. residents. I also found a few other options above that I love just as much, if you are in the market for a new printed kimono. 

Have a great weekend! I may not be here Monday, but the Random Wednesday link up will stay on it's regularly scheduled program for next week. See ya soon! xoxo

Celebrity Fashion Auction for a Cause

I'm delighted to tell you about an exciting celebrity charity fashion auction event that just started. My personal friend, Lauren who started Bloggers Closet teamed up with actress, producer and The Real talk show host, Tamera Mowry-Housley.

When Lauren asked me to share this opportunity, I immediately said yes because it not only involves some crazy amazing shopping, but most importantly this event will make a difference in children's lives and give them hope for the future. Here's the scoop on how you can help.

From now through August 12, you'll have the exclusive opportunity to shop Tamera's personal closet. She is auctioning some seriously gorgeous designer fashion!  All proceeds will be donated to I Have A Dream Foundation, an amazing national organization that helps children in low-income communities pursue and achieve their career dreams.  They provide guaranteed tuition support, as well as personal coaching from elementary school through first year college.

Bloggers Closet will also be donating 10% of all sales site-wide during the next week - so it's a perfect time to shop for a cause! 

The above photo is a preview of just some of the pieces that you can shop from Tamera's closet; Rachel Zoe, BCBG, French Connection, Michael Kors and Karen Millen to name a few. View all her items and make a bid here, you'll look gorgeous and feel great knowing you helped a very worthy cause!
