We recently went on an Australian adventure and our first stop was Sydney.  After the longest flight of my life (15 hours from LAX), we arrived in Sydney two days after our departure from Denver and at 6:30 am local time.  We threw jet lag to the wind and were ready to explore!

We stayed at the Pier One Marriott which is just under the Sydney Harbor Bridge and in a great location to explore all of the city’s major landmarks.  On our first morning, we walked along the water with Luna Park across the harbor, headed to see the Opera House and in search of caffeine!

Floral Frocks - Spring 2018

As I mentioned in my previous post, we booked a vacation to somewhere beachy and I’m dreaming of warmer climates.  So although it may be a little early, in fact there is snow falling outside my window as I type this, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite floral frocks for Spring.  Some which already hang in my closet, some that are lingering in my online shopping carts, and some that I just truly appreciate but will probably never have a chance to wear.  I’m looking at you #5.  Honestly, if my bank account could sustain it, I’d buy them all!  Floral is such a feminine staple and I love to see how designers reinvent it over and over again each season.  See my top picks for some Spring 2018 floral dresses.

These pictures were taken just this weekend and now there is snow on the ground again.  We’ve had a pretty mild winter here in Denver, but man am I ready for Spring!  We are headed to Australia in just over a month and I am seriously counting down the days until we take off!!!!  42 days and counting!  But we do have a lot of fun things going on before we are off to the Land Down Under, so I’m trying to enjoy everything as it comes and not wish time away.

The holidays may be over, but that doesn’t mean the pretty clothing has to go by the wayside!  Winter wardrobes can start to feel a bit drab when the cold weather persists, but adding some embellishments to your basics is an easy way to update your look.

Pleated Leather Skirt

Hi everyone!  I’m sorry I have been so M.I.A. here on the blog but we’ve had a lot going on recently with a sick kiddo (who thankfully is doing much better), a stream of out-of-town visitors and gearing up to host Thanksgiving.  Luckily, this nice weather has been giving us a chance to get outside and enjoy some fresh air, play in the park and finally rake up all of our leaves.  We had a total of 16 giant bags of leaves from just our front yard!  Yeesh.

With this nice weather I have been loving that I don’t have to wear tights just yet!  Don’t get me wrong I love tights but since I dress up at the office and typically wear dresses and skirts to work, I feel like I live most of the fall, winter and even some spring months in tights.  So it’s nice not to be forced into them with the delayed onset of cold weather here in Denver.

My trusty pleated midi skirt has been on frequent rotation this fall and I like to pair it with bare legs and pumps or pointed flats.  I’ll mix in boots (and tights) as it continues to get colder.  I’ve been donning pleats since I went to Catholic school, and I love that they’re really back in style now that I’m an adult.

Spring Shoe Edit 2017

Although it feels more like winter in Denver now than it did just last week, I wanted to share my Spring 2017 Shoe Wish List!  I’ve been stocking up on nude block-heel sandals as seen on my Instagram.   Typically I gravitate towards neutral shoes but I’ve also really been loving footwear with a pop of pink.  Pink pairs with almost everything so try this season’s perfect pastel pink tennis shoes,  rose mid-calf boots, fuchsia lace-ups, or blush mules.  Spring shoes are all about the details with fringe, fur and floral popping up everywhere.  See my top picks to spring your footwear forward this season. (Pun intended!)

*Shoes that admittedly are already in my closet!

3. Suede Fringe Slides* (also in tan and a splurge in teal) || 4. Criss-Cross Block Heel*

We still have 11 months to revel in Pantone’s 2017 Color of the Year – Greenery.  And although January is coming to an end it’s a New Year, perhaps a new you (depending on the status of your resolutions), and why not stock your wardrobe with new items!?  Whatever shade strikes your fancy, green brings a fresh feel to fashion and is here to stay for our next trip around the sun.  So stock up on greens for all seasons.   See my selections for the pieces that’ll make them green with envy year round!

Burgundy paired with pink may be a fall trend, but since it’s still in the 80’s and 90’s in Denver I’ve modified the trend for hotter temps.

We took the baby on his first flight to Arizona!  We decided to visit Scott’s family in Phoenix and thought that the short 1 hour and 10 minute flight was perfect for Carter’s first aerial adventure.
