As I was perusing Target today (like I do every other day...), I came across a section of Target's clothing I'd never really looked at. Their work separates. I work from home so dressing up in suits and blazers pretty much don't happen anymore. The other day, my sister had a job interview and was scrambling for an outfit at the last minute. I'd never thought to have her look at Target!
The pieces feel well constructed and come in classic colors. For suit separates, I tried on a navy blazer, red and white ankle pants and gray bootcut slacks. I paired them with 3 of their blouses and loved the way they looked! They were really cute on and since each piece had a stretchy component, the outfits felt comfortable. Add your choice of shoe and jewelry and you're set!

Buying a complete look would cost you under $100!

Blazer was $34.99 // Ankle Pants were $27.99 // Bootcut trousers were $27.99 // Crepe shell blouses were $22.99

Here are more pieces and they even have them in plus sizes too! 

Happy Frrrrrriday!

I'm not sure about how your week went but mine seemed to drag! The hubby's car has been in the shop so he's borrowed mine and I feel like if I don't have a car and we stay local and walk around near our house, time seems to go slowly. Weekly visits to Target kick things up a notch, ya know? ;)

Since Easter is approaching, I thought I'd give you my top choices for Easter dresses. The weather (out this way, at lease) has been borderline Summer status! I believe it was 86 in my neck of the woods. And we've broken a few records already. That does come with a price, California is in a crazy bad drought and we have reserves left for 1 year (according to the news). But, it is so sunny and warm which means its time to ditch the layers and show a little skin!

I picked a few of these dresses because of the color. Spring fashion always means C-O-L-O-R! Here are my favorites! I do love a good maxi dress and the BCBG maxi in the top row is calling my name! I can see a floppy hat paired with it. I think my favorite though is the yellow lace shift dress from TopShop. I do like to show some leg and the cut and color of it grabs my attention. And you could dress it up with a super blingy necklace, or coordinate it with blue and white for a nautical look. And neutral wedges would be a must!

Miss Lily will most certainly be out and about in her finest. I found a really adorable eyelet dress for her and will be posting pictures soon! Here are my favorites in the baby department.


What are your favorites?

Happy Saturday all! If you're in Sacramento and looking for stuff to do, I've got a couple of events for you to check out...

For all the parents out there: Head on over to Trumpette for the Sacramento Baby and Toddler Expo! Trumpette itself is a super-chic children's boutique is hosting the event and there will be vendors of all types. If you're registered, the first 100 people will get a SWAG bag filled with goodies! I went last year when I was preggo and scored some super cute socks and onesies! I also got a Howdy Cow for $10!


Trumpette is at 2020 I Street in Sacramento.


For all the Fashionista/ers: Courtney Kerr will be at Macy's at Roseville today at 2pm hosting their Spring Fashion show and doing a Meet and Greet! Courtney is the a super fashionable blogger from Dallas who had her own show on Bravo called, Courtney Loves Dallas. Go check her out!

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited by Stitch Fix to attend their Style Influencer's event at the swanky Citizen Hotel. Stitch Fix is a subscription service that comes with a stylist who sends you five pieces a month....accessories, pants, dresses, jackets... whatever your heart desires for $20 a month. You can purchase 1 item or all five (you get a 25% discount if you purchase all five). I've never used a subscription service before, so I grabbed one of my girlfriends and headed to the event to see what Stitch Fix was all about.

The event was so much fun! They served appetizers and champagne and we were able to preview the clothes.  There were stylists and other Stitch Fix staff there to answer any questions we had. Toward the end of the event, they had a "style off" and had 3 invitees style pull 5 items for their client based on the clues they were given.... The twist? They were the managers or supervisors at the event. I even met a fashion blogger from San Francisco that I follow, Kate Ogata from The Fancy Pants Report!

The clothes that were on display were gorgeous! There were jackets, scarves, dresses, bags and accessories on hand.

Here are a few pictures... Please excuse the poor quality as the room was dimly lit.

This silver tank was GORGEOUS!

Some goodies I scored from the event.

I met some really fun ladies including Kim (Dir. of Ops.) and Laurie (who was taking this picture).

I guess I'm proof that little ladies can rock the runway? Or someone played a funny joke on me. :) Let me just preface that by saying that I am (on a good day) 5'5 and am a former commercial model. I must have done something right to earn the ability to walk runway!

Last Saturday night, I had the privilege of walking for Ronnie Escalante, a finalist designer that was on season one of FashionStar for the Launch Fashion Show, a 2 day art/fashion/music festival in Sacramento. I'd seen a few episodes that he was on and was thrilled to walk for such a talented guy! Ronnie is a SF native with an eye for design and an entrepreneurial spirit.

Call time was pretty early (3pm) for the show which started at 9pm. With 65 models, it was a fairly tight fit considering all of the hair, make-up and nail specialists and other people helping with the show.

His designs are modern with clean lines and are versatile for day and night looks. He also has an evening wear collection that is heavenly. I wore a gray bodycon dress that fit me to a tee! Here are a few pics from the show.
