After a relatively gloomy week, the sun came out for a strong showing this weekend… we had a day trip up to Santa Barbara, the girls’ much anticipated variety show performances, and a Super Bowl get together with my family where we enjoyed the pre-game puppy bowl more than the actual game (if you haven’t seen it, highly recommend… all with rescued pups hoping to be adopted).

And last night, before I shut down my social media for the evening (strict 8pm cut off) I scrolled across a post, which was an automatic save, and something I felt would be worth sharing as we head into a new week ahead….

“There’s a Japanese legend that says: If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”

With that, I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead. I’ll be sharing styled outfits from February’s capsule, as well as a “one piece styled multiple ways” post.

Have a good one!

Jenni Kayne is having 20% off site-wide for President’s Day (until 2/14). A few items I own, love, and recommend include this alpaca cocoon crewneck sweater (I love the striped color for spring and summer…), this lightweight v-neck cashmere sweater (I have it in black and grey), as well as this quintessential summer dress (over the years I’ve purchased it in the white and black… so flowy and comfortable). I also purchased this straw hat last summer and absolutely love it, can’t recommend it more.

Z Supply gave me a 15% off discount code for new customers (SHANNONX15)…. I love these lined linen pants (shorts gal friendly), gauze top and pants (another short gal friendly option), striped linen top, and this beautiful black maxi dress... all of these pieces are great for a casual warm weather getaway.

I have my eye on this brown quilted liner jacket from Zara… thinking it would be a good transitional layer for spring…

One of my favorite pairs of silver/grey new balance sneakers were recently restocked. I wear these all the time and they’re very comfortable.

The tan shade of these Varley DoubleSoft pants and matching zip through jacket are beautiful for spring…
