Life Lately.

Images via my Instagram: llovestoshare

This month has definitely been a test of my inner strength. I'm going to be honest, I've been in a bit of a downer funk. I have had to work on staying positive and hopeful. Little things like working out, getting my Starbucks, and trying new beauty stuff are my ways of adding a bit of brightness to my week. My boyfriend and I have gone on quick local adventures too, which definitely helped me to realize the bigger picture and how thankful I am to live in such a beautiful area. Something that has come out of this funk: a better idea of what I want for my future.

Time to push forward and achieve.

Share: Fur Babies.

Happy Friday girls. I thought I'd share some of my favorite moments with my two fur babies. Smalls & Jameson. I am a huge sucker for dogs in general.. so I'm really not surprise that I find myself snapping more pictures of these two than I do of my ootds. They kinda melt my heart.

Here is a little more about the boys.

Smalls // Chihuahua // almost 5 yr old // Likes the taste of mom's iced coffee // Is afraid of bugs // Likes to be buried under blankets.

Jameson // Saint Bernard-Lab-Mix // 15 weeks old // Likes to hold the leash on walks // Has good taste in shoes // Will sloppier on yoga pants.

They are still getting use to each other [ more like Smalls is starting to warm up to Jameson's puppiness ] but over all I couldn't ask for better nature dogs. Both are huge lovers, full of cuddles and kisses. I'm definitely a lucky lady.


Enjoy your weekend. xx

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hope you ladies have a Happy Valentine's Day this year! Whether single or celebrating with someone special I hope you indulge in some sweets, or treat yourself to a mani/pedi. I have been pretty spoiled this year by my new bf. He surprised me by taking me to a San Jose Sharks' game the other weekend - which if you know me then you know that they are my all-time favorite team. And then today I received a special delivery of roses ( This is the first time I have ever received such a delivery) - I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little giddy about it.

Since I don't think he will read this before lunch, I'll share what I have planned for him. I decided to put together a picnic. We're talking a little appetizer, homemade caprese sandwiches, beer/champagne, and because I am more of a baker I made apple turnovers (recipe here).
Simple but kinda classy, right?! I thought so. The location is a secret, but due to the warmer week we have been having here is the bay I think it will be just right! I'm sure I'll be Instagramming away about it so if you're curious make sure to look there. I'm definitely excited about it.


Enjoy your Valentine's Day // weekend

I hope you haven't been living under a rock for the past week.. BECAUSE it's NYFW!! I definitely went pin crazy today with some of my favorites that have come down the runway. Even though I'm all the way in California, I have been day-dreaming that I was there trekking it through Nemo to all the fabulous shows. It is a goal of mine to one day be there!! I'll be the chick sitting within the first two rows at Marc Jacobs/ Marc by Marc Jacobs ((on the bucketlist)) - decked out in MJ because I have become an MJ snob. I am in complete envy of all the lucky ladies that I follow on Instagram that have been attending all week. To see these gorgeous shows in person has to be Ahh.mazingggg!

I'm obsessed with all of the feminine details. Knits, Furs, Silks, Done.

I'll take all the heels and boots. One of each bag. Karen Walker sunnies, and all the outerwear. 

Fall is definitely my favorite season, and I would have no problem going broke to fill my closet up.

Did you have a favorite show?! Were you one of the lucky one's to be there?!

If so, can we be BFFs like now.

Happy Tuesday. xx

WW: blogger essentials

On my old blog I had started Wanted Wednesdays (WW) so I could share every week things that had caught my eye and now I've decided to reinstate it here. I thought I would start off this week with things that I would love to add to my wardrobe that I have admired on other bloggers ("blogger essentials"). I would definitely consider all the pieces below as trendy, but classic at the same time. Perfect for my style.

Left to right:

- A little army green // Willow & Clay Anorak available at #Nordstrom

- Sneaker wedges // Ash 'Cool Bis' Sneaker available at #Nordstrom

- Arm candy // MARC BY MARC JACOBS Leather ID Bracelet available at #Nordstrom 

and Classic pavé link bracelet at #JCrew

- The designer bag // 3.1 Phillip Lim available at #Net-a-porter 

- LWD // Free People Rose Garden Dress at #FreePeople

Bun Head.

(Outfit: top - Nordstrom BP, bandeau - Free People, pants - H&M, wedges - Target, and bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs)

I'm not going to lie, I always wished that my mom had put me into ballet as a little girl. The Top-knot is my favorite type of bun right now and I have gotten pretty good at making it nice and big. I'm thinking rocking a tutu and my top-knot for Halloween might be a consideration this year.

Favorite Things.

A few of my favorite things: SEPTEMBER ISSUES, Starbucks, and Smalls ♥

Magazine 101 - September Issues are the holiest-of-holiest issues, FASHION BIBLES , fall survival guides for all fashionistas.
I pick up all of my copies down the street at Barnes & Noble and I'm pretty sure the guy at the counter thinks I'm crazy - But as a Fashion Marketing Graduate (holler!) these aren't just magazines.. they are like textbooks, and my time spent flipping through them is research. My Vogue copy is not in this shoot but it is amazing and I highly recommend picking it up. I plan on sharing more about these glossies once I finish them during recovery the next couple of days, so stay tuned.


I want to thank KMS Photography for these great shots. She did a wonderful job don't you think?!

Side-note: I will be in surgery this morning.. and although I know that this is a pretty simple operation, I can't help but feel nervous. 

I hope to bounce back quickly with no complications - fingers crossed. I know that I'm in good hands.
