Hope everyone had a great weekend. I wanted to share a winnner recipe I made last night that my sister recommended. I made the Jon & Vinny’s Fusilli alla Vodka (I subbed penne) along with my Chicken Marsala. The two dishes complemented each other really well. It was a relatively simple dinner that everyone loved!

Love them or hate them but there is no denying that the sporty Teva-esque sandal is having a fashion moment.

New Work Wear

A friend of mine was asking me for at home work attire recommendations. She was looking for gold hoops, muscle tee’s, and comfy pants. Here is what I suggested.

I wanted to give you an update on the LoveShackFancy x Target collaboration. I got the Cosette Smocked Dress and love it! The quality is so nice for the price. I know inventory is low but I would keep checking because there may be returns. I also bought the Lisa Marie Fernandez Ric Rack Dress. The fit was cute but the fabric was too heavy for Summer so I returned it.

  2. Alex Mill Expedition Pant Goop, $125. Cream color here.

Mes Filles

by juleseeLeave a Comment on Mes Filles

img_5126img_5292Several months ago I was grocery shopping and spotted a woman in a beautiful colorful dress. I approached her and asked her where she got it and she said “I design them.” Voila..that’s how I discovered Mes Filles.

Local designer Cristen Kauffman designs and manufactures her Sadie dress right here in Los Angeles. Her goal with Mes Filles is to celebrate the uniqueness of each and every woman. I love the simple silhouette and the beautiful prints she uses. I’m wearing the Zippy in the above picture; it’s one of my most comfortable dresses I have in my closet. To shop all the different Sadie dresses click here.

A portion of Mes Filles proceeds goes to Africa Schoolhouse, No Kid Hungry, Laura’s House, and Minnesota Freedom Fund. All charities that support women and children in need.

Hope everyone has a great day!

XOXO
