Paris! It’s one of my favorite cities in the world. I’ve been a few times with the family and once with just me and Beckam when he was a baby. Cody, me, and the kids all have short attention spans so when we came we never made it to some of the museums and more touristy stops in Paris, so I was excited to do that during our girls trip! We originally went to see the cherry blossoms they were supposed to be in full bloom by end of May but a storm came a few days before we were there and SNOWED! Snow in Paris crazy right! So there were barely any trees in bloom!

Our first day in Paris apparently half the city was on strike! So a lot of the spots we planned on seeing were closed, but it was the perfect chance to walk around the city. We just wandered around and ended up all over town. Our first stop was Notre Dame: You can’t go to Paris and not see the Notre Dame! There was almost no line so we were able to get in really quickly. Such an amazing experience and crazy to think it started being built in the 1100’s! Even if you aren’t religious, the cathedrals in Paris are a rite of passage – they are all so beautiful!

DETAILS: FAUX FUR COAT (LOVE THIS ONE TOO) | 2. DISTRESSED JEANS | 3. PINK CROSSBODY (SOLD OUT – SIMILAR HERE) | 4. PINK SNEAKERS (UNDER $100) | 5. SUNGLASSES

The Louvre: Do your research ahead of time (we didn’t lol)! When we showed up there were 2 lines – one for people who had reserved a time to visit the Louvre, and then the rest of us who were just winging it. The majority of us were winging it of course so it was a pretty long line, maybe half an hour to actually get in and then another 15 minutes to buy tickets. There’s an audio tour (costs a little extra) or a free app you can download for a reference point as you are exploring. The Louvre is HUGE! You could easily spend all day there. Honestly I wasn’t as excited to go, but once we went it was actually really cool to see. The detail in some of the pieces is insane and thinking about what they created with the resources they had is pretty crazy to think about! I would say its a for sure must see, but if you aren’t much into art you could be in and out in an hour.

Sacre Coeur: We just randomly ended up at the Sacre Coeur one night and it had such a pretty view of the city, I was so glad we did it! We didn’t get there in time to climb the steps up to the dome for the best view, but it was still a beautiful view from the peak of the Montmartre neighborhood. On the way down there was a street vendor selling hot apple cider and hot mulled wine – so good! On our walk I found the only cherry blossoms in Paris I think hahah jk I’m sure there was more somewhere but I was so excited to find one tree with some beautiful blooms!

The Flower Market: This was my favorite part of the trip!! It was my first time to a French flower market and it was every bit as amazing as it sounds. There were no other tourists so it felt like a typical Parisian Saturday morning, picking up produce and flowers for the week. I almost cried because I was literally just so happy! 😍

Versailles: Every detail was absolutely breathtaking. MAJOR home inspo haha. The pink marble was probably my favorite, and all the ornate detail everywhere! The gardens were insane, I can only imagine how pretty it is in the summer when it’s in full bloom. I didn’t realize how big Versailles was until the end of the day when my feet were sooooo tired, haha, so first tip – wear sneakers! We heard that you should either go first thing in the morning or late afternoon when it’s least busy, and we noticed the line definitely started to die down around 4. Make sure you have time to explore the gardens though! I think you could spend a whole day just outside when it’s nice out.

The Hall of Mirrors!!! Pictures will never do it justice.

Saint Chapelle: Fourth time was the charm! We tried to see Saint Chapelle the first time but it was closed. We looked up the hours online and saw it closed at 5pm, so we got there at 4:36 and found out the last entrance is 30 minutes before closing – so we missed it by 6 minutes! The next day we had to leave for Versailles and tried to squeeze the Saint Chapelle in right before and the line was like an hour long! I’ll be honest, I gave up but my friends went back the next morning and waited in line because I had major jet lag and just wanted to sleep in haha. Apparently you can get priority tickets online and skip the majority of the line! It would have saved so much time haha. The pictures they got were so pretty – the stained glass looked unreal! It’s pretty quick once you get in, so definitely spring for the priority pass so you don’t spend more time outside waiting than inside actually enjoying it.

Cafe De Flore: This cafe is probably one of the most insta-worthy eateries we went to. I’m obsessed with all the flowers overhanging the restaurant and it’s facing a busy street and sidewalk so you get a true taste of what everyday life in Paris is like just people watching. You can see the full blog post here if you missed it, but it is definitely worth a visit!

The Eiffel Tower: No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to the Eiffel Tower! You’ll get a few peeks of it from around the city, but you have to see it up close at night when it’s twinkling! So magical. We got a crepe from the street vendor right by the Eiffel Tower and it so good! Street food is always a good choice in Paris

Whitney always has the best Zara finds!! So obsessed with her outfit!!

Happy Wednesday! Whenever I travel I love bringing pieces that I can style in multiple ways to make the most of every inch of suitcase space.  This Gucci Tee is a major favorite of mine right now, and I love that there are so many different ways to style it – you can never go wrong with a graphic tee! For a more classic style I added this navy blue blazer t0 make it perfect for a lunch date in the city. These trousers are amazing, and look so good with the top tucked to show off the cute belt detailing (plus they are under $55). Also obsessed with these sunglasses! I got so many questions on them and you guys were shocked they were under $10. I loved them so much I got them in multiple colors. For a more casual vibe, I switched out the blazer for a bold windbreaker – love the bright red accent it brought to the outfit paired with with these red booties  (such a good statement shoe and under $100!). I know a Gucci tee is an investment but it’s one of those pieces where the longer you have it, the better it gets and years from now it will still be one of your favorite tees.

Below are a few more graphic tees I’m loving at all budgets:

Which look is your favorite?

This red bag!!

These boots are still one of my all time favorites!

DETAILS: BLACK HOODED SWEATSHIRT (ALSO GOT THIS ONE) | BLACK PATENT LEATHER SKIRT (SIMILAR HERE) | EMBELLISHED BOOTIES | RED GIVENCHY CROSSBODY BAG

If there’s one thing the turns any piece into a statement, it’s embellishment. I love how bold embellishments are being incorporated into so many different pieces this season from jackets and statement outerwear, to shoes and accessories. You guys recognize these boots from last year – I’m obsessed with the pearl detail! If you regretted not getting them last year, definitely pull the trigger! They are such an amazing statement piece and one you will wear with everything! Also obsessed with this patent pair. How pretty is that bee detail?? If you worry embellishments are too much of a statement for you, start simple and tone it down with a monochromatic look – it’s impossible to get wrong.

I’ve also been wanting a colorful bag this season (I’ve been on too much of a neutrals kick!) and I loved this one. Red is always a timeless color that never goes out of style. Also love the metallic chain detail – it’s a simple embellishment but adds an edgy vibe.

Barneys New York has so many great options for those statement pieces. Right now you can get a $350 gift card for every $2000 spent on women’s ready-to-wear, jewelry, accessories, or shoes. Below are more great embellished pieces I’m loving!

don’t laugh at my lint all over my pants! I carried a big wool blanket in my car before I shot this and didn’t have a lint roller in my car! So embarrassing!

these combat boots on repeat!

Love the pear details on this jacket!! It’s on sale!

DETAILS: EMBELLISHED DENIM JACKET (ON SALE 25% OFF) | GREY TURTLENECK (ON SALE UNDER $100) | BLACK CROPPED DENIM  (ON SALE! ALSO GOT THEM IN THIS COLOR) | BLACK GUCCI BOOTS (ALSO GOT THESE) | SUNGLASSES 

It’s not that I was hesitant to get my first pair of combat boots, but I was really picky about getting the right pair. I wanted something that wasn’t too bulky but that was still really versatile so I could get a lot of wear out of them. Then I saw these and loved them soooo much I had to have them (felt the same way about this pair too 😉). The striped ankle strap is such a good detail and I love the white laces that make them pop with any outfit.

They definitely have a casual, sporty feel to them but I’ve already worn them with so much! An edgy combat boot is the perfect way to amp up a casual jeans and sweater look (just got this style in both black and this wash and I love the cropped hi-low hem – so unique!) You can also pair your combat boots with a mini skirt for more of a feminine balance. I ordered this velvet one and it’s a great option to bring into your fall rotation (this one runs a little big so size down if you are between sizes).

The Saks Friends & Family sale is running from today through Sunday so it’s a great time to score 25% off those pieces you wouldn’t normally buy at full price, whether that’s designer shoes or just closet staples.

Below are some more of my favorites from the sale:

Happy Monday guys!! I’m back home after for a while after New York and London Fashion Week and can’t get over all the amazing looks I’ve seen, both on the runway and the streets. I could seriously sit and people watch for hours – everyones outfits are so amazing!

One of my favorite big trends this season is the bold colors we are seeing everywhere – color always makes such a statement! I was instantly obsessed with this dress when I saw it – the rich orange tones with the blues and green make it perfect for the season and so unique. Wrap dresses are also really flattering on all figures!! Style it with a blazer for the office or a leather jacket for a night out – you can really make it work for a ton of occasions. Also love the mod feel with this white boot (last seen here). They are already one of my favorite shoe buys for fall and I want to wear them with everything!

You guys! Fall is in the air here in NY and I couldn’t be more excited! I love that chill in the air and cuddling up in cozy sweaters. I’m obsessed with this turtleneck sweater. It’s super oversized and beyond comfortable. I’ve also been dying to get a good baker boy hat and just got 2 that I have already worn – hands down the best hat for fall! They are an amazing fall accessory and make any outfit feel instantly more cozy. This cashmere one is super soft and one of the first hats that didn’t give me a headache when I first wore it! Here’s another option to get that same vibe for under $100. Have you guys tried them yet? What do you think??

Below are a few more cozy sweater and jean combos:

If there’s anything that can completely transform an outfit, it’s shoes, which makes shoe shopping in my favorite season, fall, sooooo exciting. I’ve been looking for a pair of cute white boots forever. White has always been a classic color, but it’s definitely the ‘it’ color for shoes this season. When I saw these, I instantly knew they were the ones. I love the thick heel and the tortoise detail with the snap button – honestly, they are just the perfect shoe!

Not only is the tortoise heel a good detail, it also brings in those fall tones so they are easier to mix and match with your wardrobe and it adds a lot of versatility so you can pair these statement boots with everything! You can add these boots to a pretty summery dress to transition into fall or just add with a simple sweater and jeans for an effortlessly cool look. They are an investment, but it’s one of those wardrobe additions that I know I’ll be wearing every week this season. This is another great option at a lower price point and also love this more budget-friendly option.

Below are few more amazing white boot options to update your fall shoe game this season:

And some of the new arrivals I’m dying over! How pretty is this floral pair?

Saks is also having a sale right now with up to 70% off of a lot of great pieces, including shoes. Here are some of my favorites from sale:

DETAILS: YELLOW POLKA DOT JUMPSUIT (UNDER $50) | METALLIC LACE-UP SANDALS | LEATHER BACKPACK | AVIATORS

Last weekend we went down to California for Father’s Day. Cali is both one of Cody’s and I’s favorite mini get aways. It’s just a little over an hour flight from Utah, and secretly we are really hoping to move their some day! Saturday we headed out to brunch in LA area. I had asked a couple of  my blogger friends in LA for good eggs benedict suggestions (benedicts are one of Cody’s all time favorite foods) and they suggested Blu Jam, but by the time we made it there Saturday morning it was over an hour wait! Hungry toddlers can’t make it waiting for an hour, lol, so we found another yummy spot about a mile down the road.

I wore this yellow polka dot jumpsuit for most of the day (I like to change outfits for dinner when we travel 🙂 I am loving polka dots! This romper is a steal under $50. And these star metallic lace-up sandals  – I’ve been wearing with everything! Probably one of my favorite sandal buys of the summer!

After brunch we went to the Pier. Wes is really into roller coasters right now so we were excited to take him to the amusement park on the Pier. When we got down there the whole thing was fenced off for a private event all day!! We were so bummed because we had talked it up to him so much. Oops! The kids got free balloons so at least they got a conciliation prize 😉

Saturday afternoon I snuck out shopping for an hour. We are doing a fun project with Tory Burch and so I popped in store to get some goodies for the project.

DETAILS: RUFFLED SNEAKER

These sneakers were one of my finds! They come in 4 different colors here– how good is that ruffle detail? You can never go wrong with a white sneaker, but this navy ruffle detail makes it really unique. So Obsessed with these!!

I wore this red sun dress out Saturday night. You can’t go wrong with a bold red! I love the embroidered detail – it’s perfect with sandals for the beach or loafers for a night out.

These Gucci loafers are amazing!! I know they are an investment but they are so worth it!

DETAILS: RED EMBELLISHED DRESS (LOVE THIS ONE) | WHITE CROSSBODY | SUNGLASSES | GUCCI LOAFERS

Our hotel was right across the street from Rodeo Drive. Every night before dinner we would walk up and down Rodeo people watching. Their is an ice cream truck that sits half way down the street close to Bally’s and the kids would get ice cream bars every night. We ran into a couple of you guys, and it’s always so fun to meet and say hi! It always makes our day to connect with you guys!

DETAILS: WHITE BUTTON DOWN | DENIM CUT-OFFS | NUDE ESPADRILLE SNEAKERS | EMBROIDERED CROSSBODY | SILVER WATCH | SUNGLASSES

Love these sneakers! You guys have seen me wear them on repeat (last seen in this post). They are the best for traveling – I love the sneaker/espadrille combo!

DETAILS: PRINT MAXI DRESS | GOLD METALLIC SLIDES | CHLOE BACKPACK

Sunday was the car show! Cody has always loved cars so it was fun to see the retro cars. I’ve had tons of questions on this dress and excited to share more from the outfit next week. It was seriously love at first sight when I saw it. I love the print and the silhouette is really flowy and perfect for summer, either day to day or for an night out.

Hey guys! Another daily style diary 🙂 You have seen these jeans on repeat lately (last seen here). I just got them and they are so soft and comfy I’ve worn them almost non-stop! I love that they are high waisted with the relaxed leg style, they are different than any other jeans I own – so good! I could live in a white tee and jeans. Just add a bold lip, nude sandals and a good crossbody and you instantly kick up a casual look for date night.

Below are some great jeans and tee combos:

And since apparently I’m on a pink kick (haha, I didn’t even mean to coordinate my drink – anyone else obsessed with the pink ombre drink at Starbucks?), here are some recent pink finds:

Hi guys! It’s been a whirlwind of a week and I know I haven’t posted in forever! We have had so much going on with ILY and then we took off to Hawaii! But I’m back and next week I’m going to be sharing a bunch of new content.

We just added this tank to our Americana collection and I’m so happy with how it turned out! I love the 70’s vibe and the bright pop of red. Graphics are the best detail to comfortable tanks and tees, so I can never get enough!

We have seen some of the coolest sights ever in Maui! I’ll also be sharing more pictures from our helicopter ride to a private, secluded waterfall. I started to lose my voice from screaming so much, I was so excited! We landed home for 24 hours and now are off to NYC for a fun project with I Love NYC. So be sure to follow along on insta! Have a great weekend guys!

I have been on a red kick lately. It’s quickly becoming my new favorite statement color. When I saw this top (UNDER $100) and this skirt (UNDER $100) it was love at first sight! I love bold reds and can’t get over the statement ruffle detail on the skirt. I also found this amazing floral  bandana (under $20) and I’ve been wearing it non-stop – around my neck, tied onto my bag, and my new favorite – tied around the ankle! It’s such a fresh way to wear a neck scarf or bandana and makes any look read more editorial, either as a bold pop of color with a neutral outfit or to complete a monochromatic outfit.

And you can shop more statement stripes and bold reds here:

SOMETHING COMFORTABLE: Nothing beats a sneaker when it comes to travel style, but you also want a shoe that will work just as well for your final destination. I always end up underestimating how much walking I’ll do on vacay, so it’s good to have a shoe that’s both cute and comfortable just in case. I love these white espadrilles! They are perfect with jeans for and airport look and work great with cut-off shorts and pretty much anything and the jute accent adds that cool tropical feeling.

These sandals though! They are under $50!

SOMETHING THAT MAKES A STATEMENT: I love lace-up sandals for any trip! You can wear them with almost anything you packed: a flowy maxi, cut-off shorts, or with just a swimsuit. They add a pop to even the most basic outfits. I’m in love with this pair. The embellishments make them even more of a statement shoe that will spice up your travel style and they are under $50. Go a half-size smaller – they run a little big. 🙂

DETAILS: BLUSH VELVET BLOCK SANDALS (UNDER $50) | CORAL MIDI DRESS (UNDER $100) | SUNGLASSES | WHITE CROSSBODY | SILVER WATCH

SOMETHING FOR A NIGHT OUT: I might be tempted to pack a few ‘just in case’ heels, but I rarely dress up on beach trips so I just pack one versatile heel that can work with multiple outfits. I’m obsessed with all things blush so I was naturally drawn to this pretty velvet pair. The block heel makes it really comfortable and the low heel height is a must since you typically end up walking a lot on vacation.

Below are a few more great show options from DSW that are musts for your next getaway!

obsessed with the straps on this bra.

LOOK 1: BLACK STRAPPY BRALETTE | BLACK LACE BRALETTE | WHITE V-NECK TANK  (SIMILAR HERE) | BLACK JOGGERS (SIMILAR HERE) | SNEAKERS

CASUAL ATHLEISURE: It’s crazy how much of a difference a strappy bralette can make in even the most basic outfits! I got this black lace bralette from Bloomingdale’s and layered it with this strappy nylon bra. (I actually wore this one backwards because I love the look of the straps in front! It’s seriously SO SOFT and super comfortable – I’m obsessed!). Wear it with a deep V or scooped top paired with joggers and your favorite sneakers and you’re ready for a casual errand day or the gym.

LOOK 2:  BLACK LACE BRALETTE | BLUE SLEEVELESS TOP (SIMILAR HERE) | BOYFRIEND DENIM (UNDER $100)

SUBTLE: For a really subtle way to show off a little lace, match your intimates to the straps on your top. I love how this one adds such a casual and flirty feel with a peek of lace showing.

LOOK 3: BLACK STRAPPY BRALETTE | SILK STRIPED BUTTON DOWN (SIMILAR HERE) | BOYFRIEND DENIM (UNDER $100)

OPEN BACK: Tops or dresses with a backless detail or a low back are probably the easiest pieces to pair with a pretty bralette. I love the unbuttoned top styled with a lacy or strappy intimate piece, but for a more conservative spin on the combo, wear a blouse backwards and unbuttoned to show off the back details of a pretty bralette.

LOOK 4: CALVIN KLEIN SPORTS BRA

(OPEN BACK PART II): I love Calvin Klein! I live in their sports bras. The retro 90’s logos are having a moment right now too, so an open back sweater is a great way to show the cute Calvin Klein band detail.

LOOK 4: WHITE LACE BRALETTE | BLACK MUSCLE TEE (STOLE FROM CODY – SIMILAR HERE) | CAMEL CARDIGAN (SIMILAR HERE) | BOYFRIEND DENIM (UNDER $100)

THE SWAP: Swap your sports bra out for a bralette! I love the unexpected feminine contrast of this one against this black muscle tee (that I stole from Cody). Some intimates are just too pretty to stay hidden haha so styling it like a sports bra gives you a lot of effortless outfit options to show them off. Layer it with a lightweight cardigan for a more conservative look.

You can shop more of my favorite bralettes to work into your wardrobe below!

CODY: TOM FORD SUIT JACKET | TROUSERS  | VELVET BOW TIE | BLACK BEADED BRACELET

Happy Monday guys!! Cody and I are in California with the family this week for a couple of the Fashion Week presentations that moved from NY to LA. I am actually really excited to be in the warmer weather of California. Valentine’s is around the corner! Typically I’ve always gone with a cute red dress or classic red and black combo (which you can never go wrong with!) but this year I wanted to do something a little different so I opted for this beautiful white dress. I love the elegant, timeless white and I’m obsessed with this ruffle detail – they are having such a moment right now. Also obsessed with this white cross body.  It’s so easy to bring in that classic red Valentine’s accent with a red or pink lip, nail color, or shoe to tie the whole look together.

1. Cody still opens the car door for me every time we go somewhere together. Even if we are mad at each other over something dumb, he will walk over silently haha and still open it.
2. I am an only child and Cody comes from a family of 10! He has 8 brothers and sisters. Both our families are really close. My cousins and aunt and uncle all live a block away from my parents house so even though I don’t have brothers and sisters, we were all super close growing up. I love that Cody has a big family! All of his brothers and sisters have 3-5 kids so when we all get together our group is close to 50 people!
3. 50/50. Cody is so helpful around the house. He cooks and cleans as much as I do (maybe more lol). He thinks he’s a bad cook, but he’s actually a really good cook! We like to try new meals but have a hard time thinking of what to make so we like to get those ones where they send all the ingredients and recipe to your house.
4. Daily Debates. Cody and I are both strong willed, and really competitive. It’s almost comical now, anything we see from guessing a TV actor, directions to a restaurant, or time it takes to get somewhere, we place a 5 minute back rub bet on it.
5. Foot Rubs is both one of our all time favorite things!
6. I HATE scary movies. Like I am the biggest scaredy-cat of all time. We were at a movie a couple weeks ago with our friends and Cody told me it wasn’t scary (LIE!) and I literally hid under his jacket for the last 20 minutes and plugged my ears hahaha. I’m such a baby!
7. Always make time for each other! Cody and I still try and go on a date night every week. Honestly it probably happens about 3 out of the 4 weeks a month because sometimes life just gets busy. But we’ve both made it priority to take time doing something fun with each other weekly.

Happy Friday!!!! As if some of my favorite looks aren’t a dead giveaway, I can’t get enough of embellished and embroidered pieces right now! Embroidered layers are probably of the easiest and most versatile pieces to wear. You can pair them with joggers and a comfy tee for weekend errands or add over a simple shift dress and booties for a sophisticated but sexy look for date night this fall.  There are so many pretty embroidered styles right now I can’t get enough! I’m obsessed with this pretty floral bomber and how amazing is the detailing on this velvet jacket? Also love this one and how good is the sheer detail on this one under $100!?

I could seriously go on for ever but below are a few more pretty embroidered layers for fall. It’s a great statement layer that I’ll be pairing with everything this season.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!

XX, Christine
