The slouchy tunic for the win!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I can’t believe Holiday season is already upon us!! It’s that time of year where I’m typing this blog post sitting with Carlota in our matching Christmas PJs. I wish it was Holiday season all year round. I’m so excited it’s Thanksgiving and can’t wait for Carlota to have her first Turkey dinner. This time around Carlota is so much more aware and engaged I can’t wait to show her all our traditions and make some new family memories with her.

While everyone is getting ready for Black Friday and Holiday shopping I wanted to share a great tunic from Mint Julep boutique. It’s a comfy staple item that every girl needs in their closet. It’s perfect to dress up and wear out and about or keep casual lounging around at home. They come in many different colors and are solid or baseball jersey style like the one I’m wearing. Using the links provided you can get them for 50% off and under $25. Perfect for your Black Friday shopping list!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m so thankful for all of your support.

With Love,

Andrea

Festival Florals

I can’t believe Festival season is here already and Coachella weekend 1 starts tomorrow. We will be heading down to Coachella Valley next weekend for the music festival and I couldn’t be more excited. This year will be a different experience than others in the past and I can’t wait.

I’m just not ready to leave my babe behind for the weekend, so Carlota will be joining us in Palm Desert. This means that late night festival afterparties will consist of baby snuggles and pajamas. I wouldn’t want it any other way…..at least that’s what I keep telling myself. Another exciting difference is that BCN will be serving in the VIP area. For those who don’t know BCN is my brother-in-law and husbands restaurant located in West Hollywood. It serves street fare from Barcelona and it’s delicious. If you are going to the festival be sure to stop by and say hi!!

If you’ve ever been to Coachella you know the fashion is just as important as the music festival itself. It’s almost like a fashion show at the Empire Polo Club. There are Pinterest boards set up just for Coachella outfits. With motherhood getting in the way I haven’t had too much time to think about my looks. When I came across this floral romper by Mint Julep Boutique I knew it was going to be in the lineup. I love the fit and subdue sexiness it evokes. Pair it with a cute bra, a statement necklace, or a great belt and you are good to go. I knew the romper was a must have because it can be so versatile. You can give it an edgy look by adding a fedora, leather jacket and booties; or pair it with a dainty necklace, and sandals and wear it to the beach. I wore it here for Carlota’s first birthday and I can’t wait to post all about that experience next week.

Who’s headed to Coachella this year? Do you have a romper in your outfit line up?

With Love,

Andrea

Shop the Mint – Giveaway

While a majority of you may be enjoying the crisp air and the warm charming colors of fall, here in LA we are embracing the beautiful sunshine on the beach. As much as I wish it was a little cooler, I really can’t complain. I love my days spent with the babe. Mondays are Mommy and Carlota time and they are my favorite. We run on our own schedule and always seem to be on the go. I cherish these little moments we have together.

I’m going to take full advantage of matching outfits while I still can. Before you know it, she’ll be dressing herself and matching with her mama will be the last thing she’ll want to do. Today was all about stripes. I love a good stripped tee, and think I own a handful in my closet. Such a perfect layering piece. When I saw this dress at Mint Julep Boutique I knew it would be a perfect staple in my closet. Chic yet simple….my style moto.

I’m excited to have teamed up with The Mint Julep Boutique to give one of my readers a $25 gift card to their store. If you subscribe to their mailing list you get an additional $10 off your purchase. They have really great pieces at reasonable prices. You can get my dress and the others I linked for less than $10 if you win.
