Vacation Essentials

How is it already the last weekend in April?! With summer like temps, and spring in full swing I'm in full on vacation planning mode. Our San Francisco and Napa Valley trip is rapidly approaching, but we're also narrowing down our first family trip with lil' miss in the fall. Beaches and palm trees are a pre-requisite, and I can't wait to instill in her the amazingness that is wanderlust. Nothing makes me happier than a tropical getaway or lounging by the pool or at the beach, and BP. is...

Another re-worked piece that's in constant rotation is this Jack by BB Dakota top.

Barre3 in the Park

Hello Monday, I'm going to show you who's boss with multiple cups of coffee today because this girl is still sore from the wonderful Barre3 in the Park event over the weekend. It had been a while since I did a Barre3 class, and I felt like I was cheating on my Bar Method babes. (You can find my comparison of Barre3 and The Bar Method here.) Those Barre3 signature finale holds will get me every time! It was a Lululemon and Zella clad day with plenty of sunshine, and the perfect way to celebrate...

Weekending Glow

I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter weekend with family and friends. The long weekend was much needed, and I enjoyed every second with my little family, a happy hour with Pamela and the boys at our favorite local spot, and Easter dinner with friends. Spring and summer is hands down my favorite time a year, I just love the longer days and outdoor living. And that sun-kissed glow? Yes please! I was excited to try out the new Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Highlighter which is nice and...

Off the Shoulder Pastels

Like I mentioned on Monday, I couldn't be happier for the OTS trend to continue this year. This dress is a favorite of mine that I picked up last year that had room for my growing bump. It was even comfy enough to wear on the plane, and board the cruise for our babymoon to Bermuda. I love re-working the pieces I wore last year, and will continue to re-work outfits that I wore while pregnant now that I've got my groove back.

How I Got My Groove Back

Happy Friday! I've had a lot of questions about staying fit throughout my pregnancy last year, and bouncing back *almost there* once baby girl arrived. I am in no way an expert, so please take my advice with a grain of salt and do what works best for you and your body. I'm outlining below what worked for me, and helped keep me happy and healthy this past year as my body went through all those wonderful changes. Keeping up with barre and yoga throughout my pregnancy was an amazing experience....
