Here are some quick snapshots Ryan Chua took of me the other weekend and a closer look at my outfit from the project we are doing with Astonish Mag. I love the color of these floral print pants. They blend perfectly with the flowers in the background. I love it when that randomly works out. I feel like I am a walking Zara ad but that store is just so addicting. I need to start a 12-step program.

A couple weekends ago we had the pleasure of partnering with Astonish Magazine on a little project.  While we can't show you the finished product just yet, we wanted to share a couple behind the scenes pictures from the shoot.  More details to come soon!

I love it when it's actually warm enough in the city to wear shorts! I spent the weekend walking around Hayes Valley and getting ready for my trip to SE Asia. Of course, I waited till the last minute to do my mountains of laundry. But it will all be worth it when I am on the beaches of Langkawi.

As I mentioned in my post earlier this week, we had an amazing time in wine country last weekend.  We stayed at Solage which is an absolutely beautiful resort in Calistoga.  Each room came with 2 bikes to get around the area (so of course I had to test them out!) and our room even had a little dog bed for Bella (which she mainly used to store all of her toys.)   Overall a perfect summer weekend!

I am off this week to SE Asia. I will be traveling to Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. I am so excited to get out of the country for a bit. Packing for long flights like this I have to be very strategic, as I hate to check my bag. I always check the weather before to make sure there are no surprises. Then I  try to plan outfits based how many days I’ll be gone for, adding a couple of extra pieces so I can change my mind on what to wear once I get there. I bring a few colorful swimsuits and one especially for diving. I am ready to relax and unplug!

Over the weekend I attended an event up in Napa and had the pleasure of staying at the cutest resort ever with my fiance and pup, (but I'll share more pics on that later in the week).  With daily temps peaking around 100+ degrees, the weather was definitely a lot warmer than I'm used to in the city but at least I got a chance to wear my more summery clothes! 

I have been lusting after the Celine luggage tote for so long.  Britt and I made a trip to Sak's the other weekend and this tote was just calling my name. The black and white is so classic and it was the last two-toned one they had. So of course I had to scoop it up! But I figured it was a well deserved reward for my new job! I wore this outfit to lunch & meetings with my new clients.
