So.....I went into Target for formula and nighttime diapers and walked out with this striped top (can't have too many striped tees) and green utility vest, which are two great transitional pieces from Target's new line, A New Day. The line consists of wearable, practical, and stylish pieces that are perfect for a busy momma!
I styled the the boat neck tee and vest with these cute jeans from Banana Republic and ballet flats which I also got at Banana but are no longer available. Not to worry. I found these Nine West flats in the exact same pink! Sunnies are Karen Walker. I bought them at The Rack for 50 bucks (this was one of my most happy moments) which is not available online but I found these oversized tortoise shell glasses by Alexander McQueen that would give you the same look. These Diane von Furtenberg are also cute and under 50.
I am seriously loving Sonia Kashuk's Moisture Luxe Tinted Lip Balm. It's just enough color, yet super easy to apply, unlike lipsticks where you usually need a mirror. I am always looking for easy beauty products having zero time for application, and this is a keeper. I am wearing Hint of Berry 44 and looking to add Red 43 to my makeup drawer for fall.

Happy Friday Friends! Here is a simple look I wore to dinner with the husband last Tuesday. These days, we end up going out on a weekday rather then a weekend. It's easier to get the girls a sitter on a weeknight. We sat in bar at The Sea by Alexander's Steakhouse and ordered all of our favorite appetizers. Yummy! A Little funny but the entire bar was filled with men. All business. To be honest I felt like I stumbled on the set of Silicon Valley....which happens quite a bit in the Bay Area!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dress!! I have worn this eye catching dress for two different date nights so far and I would love to wear it for day with black ballet flats....brunch perhaps?
The first date night I wore this ultra feminine dress was to one of our favorite Italian restaurants Osteria Toscana in Palo Alto. Order the beef carpaccio. It's the best I have ever had, and yes, I have been to Italy:)
I wore this entire look last Wednesday. We started our date meeting a few friends at Jazz in the Plaz in beautiful down town Los Gatos. Then the two of us went to Nick's Next Door for dinner. Nick's is probably one of the best spots to dine in Los Gatos. It's not only our favorite so be sure to make reservation. I would say call at least a week in advance. We are never disappointed! I have to add the best part of the night was that the girls slept through the night!! Yay!!! I just had to share this wonderful news. We are so proud of Margot and Sophie. Hopefully this is a permanent thing and just not for that one night....fingers crossed!

The little white dress. It's crisp, clean and whispers summer much like a cool breeze on a warm day.
I have built quite the collection of whites dresses this year. A little nuts considering I have 6 month old twins. What can I say? I like to live dangerously. I love wearing a LWD with a neutral shoe and bag keeping the look soft. Unfortunately the one I am wear, above, is no longer available but found a few you will love below!
Happy Friday! Today is a dark cloudy day and it's actually going to rain! This makes me so happy for two reasons: California is still in a drought and it's a real Fall day. Yay!!
Here is a perfect Fall look featuring two of my obsessions- cheetah print and Tory Burch's Gigi pumps.

It's the weekend and my husband is coming home today! Yay!
Shaun has been in New York all week on business. I was supposes to join him but we are experiencing complications regarding the pregnancy. I will go into the specifics after we have a follow up ultrasound this coming Monday and more information..to say I have been stressed out is a huge understatement!
The blog as been a great and fun distraction which I seriously needed so on to what I am wore- I never thought of myself as a camo kinda girl but I spotted these heels in BR and I phased..maybe? I left the store and after some encouragement from my husband (I think he was a G.I. Joe fan as a kid) we went back the very next day and bought them. Zero regrets!!

I must say that I am very pleased that we have firmly established that pale pink is no longer a tone reserved for Spring. (My mother, the artist, would appreciate that I did not use the term "shade.")
Walking into Banana Republic, I knew this adorable skirt would look beautiful for Fall. I have worn a classic tee in this post because it's still so warm out!! I am so looking forward to crisp autumn days!!

This past weekend we headed to Bodega Bay for the weekend. My in-laws have the most beautiful beach house...in fact we love it so much that three years ago today we got married in Bodega Bay! You can see the wedding post here. This weekend was a little more relaxing and low key then our wedding weekend as you can imagine but just what we wanted. It was perfect!
I took long naps, the in-laws and Shaun golfed, and I took walks to the sand with our pup, Arthur. If you are considering taking a vacation to the Northern California Coast, I would highly recommend coming in September/October. It is the most beautiful time of year with clear sky. The summer months can be quite cold and overcast but the Fall is perfection.

Happy Friday!!
I don't know about you but I am very much looking forward to this weekend. Shaun, Arthur and I are heading to the coast. Bodega Bay. On the agenda? Rest and relaxation. It is always a very chill weekend with my in-laws at their beach house which sounds perfect to me!! I think I am going to do a little baking too. I miss it being gluten and dairy free. I am thinking a apple pie for the family and G-free dairy free, chocolate chips bars for me.
