Going Nude: Just Do It

Nike Shoes

My new favorite shoes! For some reason I am such a tennis shoe fanatic! I think because I spend most of my time running after my son, running errands and plain old running around trying to get a workout. My feet just can't handle being in heels for too long, let alone being in sandals with no support for hours on end.

I was on that all black shoe hype for a bit- but I was craving a change! When I saw these beauties I just had to have them! Nude heels make your legs look longer, so why can't nude nike's do the same? :)

I am in love with the tan color and they are made of a soft, leathery material which makes them so chic & yummy in my book! I can where them with my workout clothes around town, or even with some dark washed jeans, a white tee, and a black leather jacket in the city! I adore them!

What shoes do you wear all day? Which brand are you a fan of? Nike's? Adidas? Vans? Etc.? Would love to hear! Have an amazing Friday! xox

Hi! I wanted to post a couple of my recent outfits for you all! I just can't believe how quickly time is flying by! Halloween is over and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. We've had a couple of cool days here in Northern California scattered between all the hot days, where I was able to sport a sweater, jacket, scarf, and boots- so exciting! I can't wait for my fall/winter wardrobe to be in full effect! Our family walks have been a regular occurrence, which I love! That's definitely my favorite way to workout- it doesn't seem like a workout because I'm enjoying family time and my hubby and I love looking at all the beautiful houses (we imagine our dream house-and everything we'll have in our dream home one day-what can I say? We are dreamers with our heads in the clouds :) ). I hope you all are having a great start to your weeks. Happy Monday! xo, Alida

What I've Been Up To...

Clockwise from Top Left: Finally some sweater weather where I can order a hot coffee at Starbucks=perfection! [boots: Manas (sold out, similar here) | pants: Rag & Bone | sweater: 525 America] |  First time at the ocean with Luca. He was a huge fan of Carmel! [scarf: Paula Bianco | top: Current/Elliott] | My custom Nike's. Love them! | Stepping up my coffee table game. Very Parisian I'd say. [candle: Dyptique] 

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to share some pics of what I've been up to lately. I can't believe it's almost Halloween. Time is really flying by- and motherhood could not be any better. Now that we've hit the 3 month mark with Luca, it's been so much easier just like everyone says. But he has still had trouble sleeping through the night. Any advice? He is just getting so hungry and I'm breastfeeding twice, sometimes three times at night. Ugh! Mama needs her sleep :) But Luca really is just the greatest gift and my hubby and I have loved all of it- everything is new for our little guy and new for us all over again. It's just the best! We took Luca to the ocean in Carmel for the first time and he loved the feeling of sand between his toes and the breeze- it was the sweetest thing to watch. I was also excited to wear cozy sweaters in Carmel- finally! Although, I'm back home now and I'm back to warm weather still- bummer! I can't wait until it officially gets chillier here. I also just got my custom Nike's recently and I absolutely adore them. They are so comfy and I love that they are pretty unique. I wanted a dark shoe but one that had a print so I chose an almost tie dye print in a gray/black/white. So cool. And I've also been stepping up my coffee table game. I am the type of person who can never leave something in my home the same-I get anxious and need to change stuff around- I love the tray and the black Dyptique candle- just so chic. I hope you are all having the best week! xo, Alida
