Late Summer Getaway Wardrobe



We have not been able to get away for any long trips this summer but we have a few weekends planned and love to take off in September when the weather cools a bit

I'm not an advanced awesome packer but I have learned a few tricks, one of which is to take a wardrobe that essentially is all in the same color family 

In this case I'm taking every thing in 
white
khaki 
&
soft blush pink 

I try to keep jewelry to a minimum,
 usually one necklace, a great watch and two pairs of earrings
(do you own an Apple watch?  I don't but they look pretty darn fun)

I always pack a hat...it's that crazy hair thing that happens to me ; )
Maxi's work because that can transition from day to dinner fairly easily 
This is a pretty light creamy skirt from Zara

and I like easy comfortable pants
usually jeans or drapey linen
and tailored cropped trousers are a great call



For a quick weekend trip, I wear one pair of shoes and bring a spare but never more than that because I never wear them!  
Seriously..... I have packed more shoes for vacations 
and wind up wearing only two pair the entire trip

Always a pair of sneakers
chucks are a great choice 

and a pair of low heals or maybe a great comfy boot

I found these on Zappos and I loooooove them


Our little getaways are alway by car 
so luggage is simple 
with duffles that work both as a purse and for clothes

I love this classic Branch Tote
from LL Bean
you can have these monogramed too

and throw a simple clutch inside the tote for shopping or dinner

this simple white one is from Brooks Brothers


So here is what I have planned for two days 
on a foodie getaway in Northern California




 turquoise necklace @Nordstrom
bucket hat @UrbanOutfitters (Stussy)
belt @JCrew
heels @Macy's
sunnies @Salt
chucks @Zappos
sweater@RalphLauren (Denim & Supply)
vest@BannanaRepublic
cashmere wrap scarf@White+Warren
basic tee@Gap
tote@LLBean
white jeans@LaurenRalphLauren
knit maxi@Polo 
clutch@BrooksBrothers

Jessica and Jennifer: A Beverly Hills House Makeover

A lot of thought goes into a personal space and a blog is just that. Somewhere in the last year my blog morphed into something I didn't recognize. I kept editing the look, taking away one week and adding back another. I enjoyed writing again and then I'd quit for a while, taking yet again, another month off to see if I really wanted to do this anymor

The New Uniform: letting go and owning your style

Do you have a uniform? Is there a look  or a certain combination of items that you seem to gravitate to  when  you get dressed? For me, the awnser is Yes....yes and double yes Try as I might to be as chic as a Parisian  I am pretty much a California "basics" sort of a gal. Sadly, in the past I often purchased things that had no business in my closet... by that I mean they will probably never get worn, at least by me.  It's not because many of my fashion choices are not cute or stylish...it's because I wear the same really simple, comfortable things over and over again and pass on the new and trendy thinking that today is not the "right day" to wear it.   Weird....I know   So if today is not the right day to wear something  that pretty much sums up the theory  that I'm buying things that just are not working with my lifestyle The photo above is Matilda Kahl an art director at a big New York Ad house.   She grew incredibly frustrated with ...
