Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel Review

- Leave a Comment

Justin, Mason and I recently went on a mini vacay down to Newport Beach. I absolutely love Southern CA and so any excuse to take a trip down, I'm all for it! This trip was sparked because of our friends baby shower. Normally, we wouldn't make a trip out of it seeing as it's expensive to stay in Newport but thanks to JIFU Travel we were able to save a couple hundred dollars and go for three days and two nights. We stayed at the Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel! I'm all about boutique hotels and while the Renaissance wouldn't be considered a boutique hotel the hotel interior would make you think otherwise. I was loving the beachy vibes and it gave me so much inspiration for some of our upcoming home projects. The weather couldn't have been nicer while we were in town. We had the absolute best time! We enjoyed ... Read more...

NYFW Diary: FW19 Day Two

When planning my trip this season I made it a point to set aside time to schedule in meetings with PR firms that I have been working with. I really wanted to grow those relationships, meet the people I email back and forth with face to face, and hopefully strike up some new potential partnerships. When I was looking at the NYFW calendar Friday seemed like the best day to do it since they obviously would not be available on the weekend to meet up and Thursday was a full first day of shows for me, as you can see from my day one ...

Styling Tips for Wearing a Cotton Minidress in Winter

It was going to be perfect for warmer weather but I was determined to style it for NYFW. Then I stumbled upon these fabulous silver metallic over the knee boots and knew I had the beginnings of a great winter outfit. So here's my first styling tip for wearing a cotton minidress in winter: play around with proportions. Since a minidress is just that, mini, I ... Read more...

Badgley Mischka FW19

It’s been a couple of seasons since I have been invited to Badgley Mischka’s runway show. I was super excited to get an invite this season. Last time I saw their show it was by far one of my most memorable and favorite runway shows. You can check out my past coverage here. This season I partnered with Redken and was able to go backstage to a number of the shows that they were doing hair for. One of those shows was Badgley Mischka. Since I was able to see the entire production from backstage, final walk rehearsal and the show I figured ... Read more...

Blue Metallic Pleated Midi Skirt

I teased you all a while back that I would be styling my Alice + Olivia multi-print wrap top for NYFW and here it is. I found this blue metallic pleated midi skirt from Topshop and knew that the shimmering shade of blue would compliment this blouse so well since there are hints of teal. I love when an outfit in my mind comes together just as perfectly as I had imagined it. Day one of NYFW was my busiest day all said and done as so it was perfect to break up my day and switch outfits for my evening shows. It was pretty windy in the ... Read more...
