Brooke du jour Turns 5!

Happy 5th Birthday, Brooke du jour! WOW. That feels like a really long time, right? Definitely an occasion worth celebrating, so I did what any normal person would do and put on a ball gown and popped Veuve at LACMA at 9 am. The security guard was obvi not pleased with the shenanigans, but Kara and I made it through the shoot unscathed. I choose Brooke du jour time and time again, because I’ve always felt that this blog aligns with my heart. After five years, I just can’t imagine not blogging. I’ve poured so much love, energy and time…

My Anti-Aging Routine

A few months ago, I was getting ready for the day and doing my makeup as per usual and something truly horrible happened. I spotted my first grey hair. On my right eyebrow. I immediately thought, “What the actual f*ck?!” I convinced myself that the hair was actually blonde, not grey – I’m very much a natural brunette but it makes total sense that I would have a blonde eyebrow hair, RIGHT? – and went on with my life. About a week later, I was getting my eyebrows waxed and the waxer goes, “Oh let me get that for you”…

Summer Outfit Round-Up

Happy September! How crazy is that? Didn’t August just start? Even though it has been 90+ degrees in LA this weekend, I guess it’s safe to say our beloved summer is over. To give summer the proper goodbye it deserves, I’m rounding up my favorite outfits I wore this past season. Grab a glass of rosé, put on those summer stripes and white jeans for one of the last times and let’s get scrolling! Honestly I’ll probably be wearing most of these outfits through October (thank you California sunshine!) but in blog land, we’ll be transitioning to cozy fall looks.…

An Italian Summer Evening

Before we get into today’s post, I first want to address Hurricane Harvey. I lived in Texas for about 6 years and have so much love for the state. My thoughts and prayers are with my friends in Houston and southeast Texas. The extent of the damage is devastating and the communities need our assistance. If you’re able to donate, this NBC News article lists several organizations to help the storm victims. I donated to the Texas Diaper Bank, which provides relief kits to babies, children, the elderly and the disabled. If you have any disaster relief charities close to…

Daisy Dress

I’m all about this happy daisy dress. It’s calling out for a party and perfect for end-of-summer and fall weddings. I know I’ll be pulling it out again for more weddings in the spring as well. I’m at the age where my college friends are starting to get wifey-ed up, so the save the dates have already started rolling in for 2018! If you’re getting this dress, you gotta go for the matching earrings too. Both the dress and earrings are on sale and come in black, so I’m thinking I need both. Is that ridiculous or a great idea?…
