THE FLOWER FILEDS!

Hi Friends!! Happy Thursday! We had the opportunity to go visit the Flower Fields in Carlsbad over the weekend. This was my first time ever going there and it was spectacular! It was much smaller than I had imagined but just as dreamy. The gorgeous rows and rows of color coordinated flower fields are just breath taking. It is definitely a sight to see if you are local or are visiting. Right now they are in the perfect bloom but will only be open till May 13. Mother's Day weekend is your last chance to go see all the beauty the flower fields have to offer.  I hope you are having a great week!! Happy Almost Friday!!

Overalls 2 Ways!!

Hi Friends!!

It is officially Spring time here in S.Cali and the weather just can't seem to make up its mind. This morning it was raining and this coming weekend it's going to be in the 80's!! I'll definitely take that over rain any day!! Overalls are back with some major style! I found this cute pair of oversized linen overalls recently and wanted to style these 2 different ways.  It is so fun to see how many ways you can wear a piece in your closet. Sometimes we can't always see the options we have right in front of us. I know I'm guilty of this!! Let me know your thoughts below!

I hope you enjoy.  Happy Almost Friday!!

Spring Time!!

Happy Spring!! I'm so excited for the start of spring!! It not only is almost my official birthday month (April) but it means summer is just around the corner and I can't wait!! Till then I found this adorable ultra comfy jumpsuit from Forever 21.  I paired it with this buttery soft chunky knit sweater. I also think this sweater would be cute over a dress and sneakers! I hope you are all enjoying your first week of spring!! Lets make a good one!! Happy almost FriYAY!!

Ice Cream & Donuts!!!

Hi friends!! I have to say first that I'm sorry for being MIA for the past month. Things have been quite crazy the last few weeks. With our recent move life has taken a second to get back together.  We had planned on moving in our new home by February 1st, however there were a few things in the new home that weren't quite ready so we had to push it back a month. We were able to finally get all moved in right before March 1st. Followed by  Miss Juliana's Birthday Party to celebrate. If I knew how hectic things were gonna be I probably would have waited on the party for a few weeks but you know I love a little CRAZY! Hahah! This was such fun birthday milestone! 5 Years old is a huge deal!! I had a blast planning this party and it turned out so AMAZING!! I was super stressed out trying to get all the little details done but It was all worth it in the end.

One thing I wanted to do when planning this party and theme was ask Jules what she wanted of course and then really think about her personality and incorporate both. She went through this phase when we asked her to tell us what the weather was like outside she would always say, "It's raining ice cream"! (like all the time) My kinda weather for sure. That is what drew me into the theme and Jules just added the donuts to make it that much sweeter. 

I found almost everything I used from decor to party favors from Oriental Trading Company. It was very affordable and can totally be recreated. Jamie my lovely husband created the Donut Wall and it turned out so much better than I anticipated. We had a minor issue with the balloons sticking to it. (I would suggest to use a matte paint NOT a semi gloss) 

Lil Betty's Ice Cream was a huge hit and if your looking for an Ice Cream Cart (Ice Cream Sundae Bar) her company is the best and the ice cream is delicious! 

A BIG thank you to Up Up & Away Face Painting for providing quality face painting for all of our guests (not just the kids). All their Artists are all amazing and do a fantastic job! We have used this company before and I highly recommend them.  

I hope you enjoy this post I really enjoyed throwing this party and since my baby girl only turns 5 once, I will hold this one close to my heart!

Let me know your thoughts.  I aways love to read your comments.

Happy Almost Friday!!

Mommy & Me!

Hello lovelies! I hope you are having a great week of L O V E!! We celebrated Valentines over the weekend with just a simple day date. We actually went to this famous lunch spot in LA called Philippe The Original. It is a pretty popular spot that has been there since 1908! if you are ever in town or if you haven't tried it is a must! My dad use to take my sister and all the time when we were kids. We have so many fun memories there. 

Today I bring you a very sweet mommy and me look from Modern Child . There eyelet lace dress is one of my favorites from this shop. It is the perfect combination of girly and chic! I opted for the white version. Jules loved the red and wouldn't stop twirling away. She loves to match with mommy and I can't complain. There soon will be a day when she will dread doing mommy & me looks so till then I will take it all!! 

There are  many more mommy and me looks from the shop. If you are looking for trendy, chic matching pieces you can't go wrong with Modern Child.

Happy Almost Friday!!
