Hanging out with mom for Mother's Day - enter to win a scarf like this one from Subtle Luxury below!
This weekend I got to spend three days in Catalina Island with my parents and Eric.  Since my parents live in Louisiana, I don't get to see them that often, so it's always nice when we can spend a little time together.  We definitely took full advantage of what the Island had to offer and stayed pretty busy riding off-road Segways, zip-lining, walking the city, and trying out as many of the local restaurants as possible.  It was an amazing long weekend, and I'm so glad I got to spend Mother's Day with my mom.  How was everyone else's weekend?

On our way out of Louisiana yesterday the weather finally started to feel like winter, so I was happy that I packed this cozy cocoon-like sweater that had been buried in my closet for a couple years.  Paired with leggings, flat boots and a new winter cape, it was the perfect sweater for flight delays, missed connections, an eventual airport rerouting and an overall long day of travel.  In the end, it's great to be back, and I'm looking forward to a laidback weekend.  Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Whether you're heading home for the holidays or taking off on a relaxing winter getaway, resist the just-rolled-out-of-bed sweats and choose comfortable denim separates for an easy chic travel look.  Ultra-soft second-skin jeggings are perfect paired with a chambray button-down and printed sweatshirt combo, and an oversized snood and sleek ankle booties provide added airtime warmth.  Finish with minimal jewelry, sunglasses and a lightweight wristlet that easily transitions from your carryon to post-flight plans.  What are some of your travel necessities?

For the second day of our roadtrip, we headed up through Big Sur and stopped at Nepenthe for lunch, a cocktail and some seriously spectacular views.  (If you ever find yourself around Big Sur, I highly recommend stopping here for a Shrimp BLT and a potent mug of "Super Cider".)  The altitude and constant fog made for a pretty chilly morning, so I went with a favorite pair of skinnies (Henry & Belle makes one of the most comfortable pairs I've tried) and an ultra-soft, shoulder-baring thermal by LA Made.  A few hours and several pitstops later, we finally made it up to San Francisco and had a great time in the city.  Hope everyone is having a great week!

This weekend we took a little roadtrip up the coast from Newport Beach to San Francisco.  On the first day we had lunch in Santa Barbara, stopped for an impromptu roadside driving break in a tiny farm town and finally settled for the night at an oceanside inn in the beautiful and charming town of Cambria.  (If you ever have the chance, a night or two in Cambria is SO worth the drive, and dinner at the Sea Chest Oyster Bar and Seafood Restaurant is an absolute must.  We definitely plan on making the trip again in the future.)  A favorite Riller & Fount LBD and wedge sneakers were the perfect comfortable-meets-chic car companions for the drive.  All in all the weekend was amazing, but it is so nice to be home.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!

This weekend we will be heading up to San Francisco for a couple days, and I am so excited for a little road-trip and slightly cooler temperatures.  A great pair of corduroy skinnies in a warm autumn hue paired with a luxe tee and suede booties will be perfect for roaming around the city.  A burgundy handbag and plaid scarf create a fun color palette, while neutral shades and unique gold jewelry completes the look.  Time to pack!

When I travel, I definitely rank comfort as my number one priority, but that doesn't mean I want to look like I rolled out of bed.  Boyfriend jeans are a tried and true favorite for flying, and I love them paired with a loose little sweater and leather moccasins.  A cozy infinity scarf helps me keep warm on a freezing plane, and a sturdy leather shopper holds all the essentials.  Add a little polish with a menswear-inspired watch, oversized aviators and a sleek leather wrap bracelet.  New York, here I come!

This weekend we headed to Las Vegas for a couple days of eating, drinking and taking in Sin City, and I wanted to be both cool and comfortable for the drive through the desert.  Lightweight faux leather running shorts and a loose, oversized tee proved to be the perfect combination when paired with easy flatforms and oversized sunglasses.  We're now enjoying a couple of days in Palm Springs, and I couldn't be happier for the poolside relaxation.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!

This weekend I'll be heading out to Palm Springs and Las Vegas for a nice little getaway and am expecting some pretty high temperatures.  For a day out lunching and shopping in Palm Springs, I love this swan-print cropped bandeau and high-rise skirt combo for staying chic while keeping cool.  Wooden flatforms and jewelry, tortoiseshell sunglasses and a contrast snakeskin clutch finish the look for a vintage-meets-tribal feel.
