Merry Christmas

This Christmas has been very special to our family as we get to celebrate it for the first time as a family of three. I know Carlota won’t remember this Christmas but I know we will. We were very fortunate to celebrate in Barcelona, Spain with both our families. Carlota doesn’t get to see either of her grandparents very often so its been wonderful that we get to all be together. Carlota also got to meet her two great grandmothers. Such a lucky girl to be surrounded by so much love.

Its been exciting for me to embrace new traditions and experience a Spanish style Christmas.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas with your loved ones. Sending everyone peace and love this holiday season.

Adding some flare

I’ve been living in my skinny jeans for years. Other than my boyfriend jeans, you wouldn’t find me wearing any other style of denim. Recently I’ve jumped on the flare bandwagon when I found this perfect pair. I love the high waist and braided accents. With my short torso, high waisted pants aren’t always flattering on my figure. Maybe the detailed pockets are the magic piece, but as soon as I put these on I felt like they were made for me.

I’m very mindful of dressing for my figure or at least I like to think so!! Not everything that’s on trend will suit every body type. I think it’s important to find those pieces that are stylish and suit you, rather than trying to wear everything that’s trending at the moment.

Carlota is rocking these adorable baby overalls from Old Navy. Finding cute affordable baby clothes is always at the top of my list. I’ve found so many fashionable items for Carlota at Old Navy and haven’t had to break the bank. There is always some sort of sale going on there, on top of the already reasonable prices.

I can’t believe Christmas is just a few days away. Are you ready for the holidays?

7 for all Mankind are currently having their winter sale and these flares are included.

Plan check

I love a good oversized sweater. The larger the better. If you ask me what a must have winter item is…..it’s a large cozy sweater! It’s a perfect piece to just throw on over some skinny jeans or leggings and you look put together. You can also layer it over a collared shirt, add a leather jacket, or wear it as a dress. There are so many options.

Its a perfect gift for anyone on your Christmas list. I love the checkered detail on this sweater. The contrast of the white on black and the fuzzy texture adds just enough detail. Because this sweater makes a statement for itself I kept the rest of the look simple with all black.

Holiday Photoshoot

I can’t believe it’s already December. Time really does fly when you’re having fun. We are getting ready for our first Christmas with Carlota and there hasn’t been a dull moment. I decided this was the year I was going to start sending Holiday cards to family and friends. I know I’m totally late on that bandwagon but its better late than never. We had our photoshoot on the beach….because why not when you live in LA. No winter wonderland backdrops for us here.

This Christmas we will be heading to Spain to visit family. I’m so excited and I can’t believe we are going in just a few short weeks. This will be a long flight for Carlota, but thankfully our recent trip to NYC will help make us better prepared. On our last flight there was a family with a baby sitting right in front of us. They were baby traveling experts and had all these snacks and teething crackers and opened our eyes to that world…..we have never looked back!!

Here are some of my favorite shots from our family photo shoot. What are your plans for the Holidays?
