If only I could click my heels three times and be in Napa again. Last week, Amy, Ashley and I spent the afternoon at the most beautiful winery, Domaine Carneros. We enjoyed sipping on all kinds of champagne while the boys spent their time bachelor partying in Muir Woods. This place was all kinds of gorgeous and one of my favorite wineries yet! I mean how hard can it be to spend the afternoon in an 18th century château? Until next time...

Pastels For Spring
Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day and had a wonderful time with friends and family. I had the joy of traveling to San Francisco to celebrate the wedding of Chris & Christina, more pictures coming soon! While in California, I was able to enjoy the 60 degree weather and bust out my trustworthy spring jacket from Zara. I loved pairing the jacket with this blouse from Evie J Boutique. The soft peach was a nice touch for the blue tribal pattern! ...
Keep Calm & Carry On
You know how tax season is crazy busy for CPA's? Well, consider this my tax season. As a teacher, I so look forward to the end of the year. School is coming to an end and summer is calling my name. However, there is much to be done before all of that can actually happen. And in the midst of this craziness , this poor little blog gets set aside. Hence why it's Wednesday and I am finally getting some time to post. While this week is a busy one, it's also a short and exciting one! Two of my friends are getting married on Saturday and a whole group of us are flying out to San Francisco on Thursday to celebrate the occasion. With that being said, I am scrambling to pack some Nappa Valley, Union Square, Monterey Bay appropriate attire. I figure I would hit the easy stuff first- my carry on. These are the things I absolutely can't travel without! And yes, gummy bears is a must. Enjoy!!

STYLE ME MONDAY | SUMMER THINGS
Beauty Talk | Self Tanner
With summer quickly approaching I can't help but feel the need to bust these bad boys out. They are my secret weapon to tan skin. I have tried many different tanning lotions, sprays, gels etc. and in my opinion none compare to these.
My absolute favorite is St. Tropez Mousse. Worth. every. penny. This stuff is so good I have even put it on my face (which is super sensitive btw) and it looked like I got back from Cabo. I was a little freaked out by a mousse, but it goes on so nice. It actually comes out brown so you have instant results. Think of it like a stain, for your skin. The s similar to this, but it goes on clear and a little nicer on your wallet. Might be better for you newbies out there. My next favorite is the Tan Towel On The Glow. This is the "designer" version of the Jergens lotion but I like it better. Better smell and doesn't look as orange on my skin. Who doesn't like something that adversities, Look Better Naked? Victoria Secret also has some great sun products. I really like their
A Casual Tunic
Nothing says casual like a long shirt, dark skinnies and an oversized bag. I just love this embroidered tunic from H&M. It's casual yet looks effortlessy styled. Not to mention it might be the softest shirt I own. I chose to top it off with my favorite Lily and Laura bracelets and delacate pieces from Maya Brenner and Furbish Studio.

STYLE ME MONDAY | STATEMENT NECKLACES
1//2//3//4//5//6Diva or not, every gal needs a statement necklace. Now some of these baubles can run you a pretty penny...so I always try to find good ones that are affordable. As much as I love the ones from J Crew, I just can't justify almost $200 for something I know I will wear for a couple months then sell on Poshmark later. Although, according to my husband I will just use my J Crew Teacher Discount and that justifies everything... and he's right. Forever 21 actually has some pretty great pieces that are so cheap! Like under 10 bucks cheap...and look halfway decent. Bauble Bar is another favorite of mine because of their ...

Kinda jumped up and down when I saw this little message in my inbox this morning. I'm not the type to buy Tory Burch just because (I wish!) , but if there's a sale....I might be more inclined. Thought I'd pass on the good news in case any of you want to jump on this sale. Happy almost Friday! xx ...

Denim Jacket
I must say, I am pretty excited about getting to wear dresses on a regular basis now. Though this Texas weather can change at any moment, I'm crossing my fingers that the heat is here to stay. Now that I am starting to pull out my summer wardrobe, and the self tanner, I am realizing that this amazing denim jacket goes with just about any maxi dress. I stumbled upon this little gem at my trusty neighborhood Forever 21. I'm telling you, the best place to find cheap and trendy clothes...that may or may not fall apart within a couple washes. Regardless, I loved it and that was that.
