We spent Sunday cleaning out the “black hole” of our house… aka, the office/spare bedroom. It was the original master-bedroom of the house, and we “lived” in it temporarily while the other parts of the home were under construction… and I had grand plans for converting it into this über cozy/chic office space… and here we are 3.5 years later after “moving” out of it and it turned into a storage room… with everything that the word “storage” entails: our old counter stools, an old desk + chair, boxes, clothing that needed to be donated, and everything in between. Once we started purging and organizing, we were on a roll and I didn’t want to stop. We just have some (and I use that word loosely) documentation paperwork that needs to be sorted through and then it’ll hopefully turn into the room that I envisioned long ago, haha. Better late than never.

But also, it feels so good not to walk by that room every day and see the mess that it had become. It really is amazing how cleaning spaces out helps to also declutter the mind. I think I walked passed the clean space several times yesterday just to take in that feeling of “calmness,” haha.

The messy corners of our home aside, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is having a great start to the week!

(Starting Friday morning off with a new favorite China Breakfast tea… pullover, joggers)

(Headed out for a Friday lunch date… Zinque… and a floral fall dress… since it was another heat wave this weekend….)

(Headed down to the beach for some fish tacos and a beautiful sunset… shirt jacket, jumpsuit (on sale), TJ’s top, TJ’s joggers, Camille’s sweatshirt, blanket, cooler)

(The best hard kombucha for a warm afternoon by the pool after the soccer field…)

After getting the Veja high-tops, I decided to give these converse high tops a try, and they’re so comfortable. Love the light tan color.

I bought these boots at the shopbop sale, but haven’t decided if I am going to keep them (mainly because of the heel height, they’re beautiful other than that)… because I also saw these and think they’re pretty as well. Just looking for a knee high chocolate brown boot…

I was recently asked for some cold weather fall/winter jackets and I rounded some cute ones up below:

love this brown faux fur coat
Top coat (in heather camel)
Longer tan coat (I would be all over this one if it was colder here)
And this quilted jacket

And a few fall wedding dress options include:

this asymmetrical dress in plum
Maxi silk dress (I love the brown)
And this high slit long-sleeve dress is beautiful as well
