Tucker panel dress

I picked up this Tucker panel dress last week from my favorite consignment store (Goodybyes on Sacramento street).  I can't decide if it looks better long or short.  Should I shorten it?

The Bob

Ever since all my hair fell out shortly after the birth of my first child, I've been sporting a Katie Holmes inspired bob.  Now that my second is almost 6 months and I have half the hair (and brain cells) I used to have, the haircut has become a total life saver.  I can look reasonably decent with minal effort, which is all I can ask for these days. 

My stylist Jarr at Oxenrose Salon has perfected this cut after giving it to me for 3 years ... I highly recommend him if you like this cut.

How to wear a maxi skirt

My sister bought me a super cute maxi skirt for my birthday.  I've never owned a maxi skirt before, so I was excited to figure out how to wear it. 

I think it's easy to look sloppy with a maxi skirt, especially if you're height challenged like me.  I also prefer a slightly preppier look, and it's easy to look too casual with a maxi skirt.  So I think I am going to wear my new skirt with silk blouses and/or structured jackets.

Fringe Boots

Tried these on at Heidi's on Fillmore Street and was surprised at how comfortable they are!  They're a good alternative to the super chic (but pricey!) Jean-Michel Cazabat ones.



Jean-Michel Cazabat $435



Sam Edelman "Louie" $160

Initial necklaces - a great gift!

I have been wanting an initial necklace ever since my youngest was born.  I've been searching high and low for the perfect one - the pendant has to be small, brushed gold or silver, and feel handmade.  After a long search I finally found them on Etsy! 

I bought this for myself:

Kinda wish I got the gold version ... but didn't want to mix metals after reading Rachel Zoe's book

I bought this for my dear friend JH:

This is actually EXACTLY what I was looking for- brushed gold, hand crafted, subtle
