POOTD: Blue Dress

With the season quickly coming to a close, the kids getting ready for school and fall fashions rolling, out it seems like summer 2014 will soon be just a distant memory.  Yesterday, I visited Gladstones in Long Beach which was right off the water and it was such a great way to soak up the season and just "hang out."

Gladstones has some of the best clam chowder i've ever had in So.Cal and nothing beats sitting outside right by the water watching the boats go by.  A must-try!  

POOTD: Leopard Dress at Jay-Z & Beyonce Concert

Do you guys notice anything different about me?!  I am so excited to share with you guys that I am pregnant! Yes, after holding it in for so long I could not wait to officially share the great news with you all!  A lot of you already know or have asked me if I am pregnant since I have had a baby bump in my last few outfit posts but I just wanted to officially share it with everyone!

So now that the good news it out, I'll be sharing my pregnancy journey and pregnancy outfit of the days with you all :)  

Sweet XO Adventures!

Where do you take a 5 year old that has been everywhere?  Sweet XO!  Sweet XO is one of Braylon and my favorite places to go!  From ice cream, to fro-yo, to brownies, to gifts, to candy, they have it all!

Braylon and I started off getting frozen yogurt, we sat in their lounge and spent mother-son time, then proceeded to the AMAZING candy section where I let Braylon create his own bag of candy.

Palm Springs Vacation: Day 3

Day 3

-JW Marriott Desert Springs Spa Day-

Day 3 of our Palm Springs vacation was the final day of our trip where we spent the entire day at the spa.  The Desert Springs Spa at the JW Marriott Resort & Spa is by far my favorite part of our entire trip.  

The Desert Springs Spa is America's largest spa measuring at 38,000 square feet.  They even offer an exclusive 600 square-foot private suite, called the Spa Sanctuary which was designed to cater to VIPs and Hollywood elite.

Palm Springs Vacation Day 1 & Day 2

I was so lucky to spend this past weekend at one of my favorite vacation spots for a girls weekend to get away, relax and reflect on life.  We stayed at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa which was voted one of the Best Hotels in the U.S. and Best Spas in the World, (voted by Travel + Leisure).

Bottega Louie: Downtown Los Angeles

If you follow me on Instagram you know by now that Bottega Louie is my FAVORITE restaurant.  It isn't on the same level as BOA Steakhouse or Mastro's but it has a very special place in my heart.  It is a restaurant you can go to for a date night, for a fun lunch, or any occasion.  The energy there is amazing, the staff has great customer service and it's just a good time all together.

Their food is made from amazing, fresh ingredients, using the finest cheeses and the yummiest sauces.  I usually go to Bottega Louie at night and get a Pepperoni Pizza (which is to DIE FOR), but this time around, I decided to try their Brunch Menu as it was only 12:00pm on a Sunday!

If you are in the LA area, this place is a must-try and I highly recommend trying the pizza! I hope you like my photo diary!
