Olympic Goals

It’s hard to believe summer will ever end. I love waking up in the early morning sun to take an early run on the beach or a hike in the woods. Summer motivates me to move, and now that the Olympics are in session, it drives me to push even harder. “As I cross the finish line, beads of sweat are dripping down my face. I can nearly contain my excitement to get my hands on that beautiful gold medal. Stephanie, snap out of it”, I say to myself. “You’re just on your morning run”! I am embarrassed to admit it, but, at times, I pretend that I am a part of the US track team in this Summer’s Olympics. Ok…I’m no gold medalist, but hey,... Read More

Rocker Chic

And.. it’s August. Rabbit. Rabbit. During the final leg of summer, the last thing I want to do is think about what I am going to wear. I exercise in in the morning, whisk myself in the shower, and get dressed in less than a half hour. Boom, cha boom. How do I do that? I dream about what I am going to wear, literally. I imagine a simple clean wardrobe of my wishes and wear my version of that. It consists of breezy silhouettes that will keep me cool throughout the day. A dose of white for sure, but being able to switch out white for shades of black on a dime. I have adopted a style or rocker chic when I wear all-black. Rocker-chic wardrobes are sexy, free, badass,... Read More

White Out For Summer

All white is perfect for summer. I am having a white out moment right now where everything I want to put on is reflective of summer: light, airy, and white. My favorite go-to pieces in the summer heat, are always white and pairing them with black adds just the right umph. I recently did a major wardrobe overhaul and dressing in simple white is oh so chic. I love statement dressing in a less-is-more mentality. To be honest, I feel young and modern when I dress monochromatically. Don’t get me wrong, I still love FASHION. In the summer, it’s best to tone it down a few notches, and enjoy the outdoors! Heading to the city on appointments or work? Dress the part. And when I am stumped as... Read More

Sale Time

Grab your credits cards.. I’ve been burning a major hole in my pocket from all these amazing sales going on recently. Summer sales are seriously the best and you’re bound to find a deal with anything you’re looking for. I love stocking up in the current summer season for items on a major discount, and even better, loading up on winter booties and sweaters. I showed you last week what to buy from the sale, so I wanted to put together a head-to-toe look from one of my favorite one-stop shops, Nordstrom. Luckily, you don’t have to wait 6 months until the end of fall for their Black Friday sale. What is better than a mid-summer retailer on sale! Not even the Presidential convention can take me away from Sale TIME!... Read More

Barcelona Spain

It is hardly a secret that Barcelona has become such a hot destination. What’s is surprising is how long it took the world to catch on to discover all of its charms. As a art fanatic, culture hound, foodie, lover of all things beautiful, I am always searching for the next best party. I was lucky enough to have taken a 9-day trip to Spain. I visited Barcelona, Ibiza, and Mallorca, each offering a completely different perspective of the beautiful country. We spent four days in Barcelona, where there is a pronounced passion for life, food, culture, and of course, architecture. My trip will be detailed in a three-part travel guide in Barcelona Spain. Where else can you surf in the morning, do a master tour of... Read More

Giveaway Time

When summer feeds you heat and humidity, it is best to keep things light. Throw on a dress. Wear minimal accessories. Wear comfortable shoes as you don’t want your feet swelling up. I love the feeling of wearing earthy, natural materials in the summer and my wood watch is no exception. I like to layer beads on my wrist, saving my heavy metals for the cooler seasons. It’s the California vibe I am trying to achieve. I immediately fell in love with this Ely Maple watch from JORD and it can be yours if you answer this simple question. What is your favorite summer activity? So simple, right! Mine is walking on the beach at sunset. Insert your comment in the comment section below. It’s giveaway time, and time to enhance...
