Flared Jeans and Color Pop!!

I found this Rock and Republic flared jeans at NM today and absolutely love how it fits on me. The cutting is great in terms of low rise but doesn't bother me around crotch and has great elasticity hugging at the bottom. I assume this style runs somewhat big as I wore this pair in size 24 compared to my normal jeans size 25/26.

 

I think I am now an expert of packing considering we travel to Taipei, Europe, Hawaii almost every year with 3 kids.  I pack essentially for everyone and fabulous for myself. ^O^

What exactly I packed? 

Swimming suit, swimming suit, swimming suit and Yoga outfit... friends joked that I could wear swimming suits everyday for 6 days in Kauai.

Left top: clog and Rag & Bone wedge boots

One of our mommy friends is too busy to find a matching pair of socks for herself..... well, imagine those mix-matched socks were hiding in the fierce looking of Rag & Bone boots....how hilarious!!!!!!  

Did you notice the socks?....No, I didn't mix-match them. ^^

Seattle Fashionistas: I'm Coming To Rate Your Shoes...Oh, and also to HOST a FABULOUS Party for a GREAT Cause!!

In three weeks, on Thursday May 5th to be exact, I will be in Seattle (one of my FAVORITE cities in the World, thank you very much!) to host that city's "Wine Women & Shoes" Gala benefiting Seattle Children's Home.

The Seattle Children's Home has been in existence sine 1884 , providing incredible mental health services to children and their families. I am so honored to be involved with such a wonderful organization. If you've been keeping up with my lovely BLOG here, you may know that I have a fondness for Seattle--the Emerald City--and have hosted several FAB events there. This time, I am being invited back--and I assure you, this event will be AMAZING! Why?
