Since I've been dreaming of traveling a lot recently, sharing some more unpublished photos with you today which we snapped in Kyoto's beautiful Bamboo Forest.

Sharing outfit details with you below as well as some ideas in terms of how to style it for fall. Wrapping up today's post with a quick family update. Enjoy!

Sharing a few outfit photos we snapped before we left for our trip last week featuring white "dad sneakers" and the cutest little pink dress and blue romper on Naiya.

I'm excited to share a guest post by my hubby, Phil. I last interviewed him about how his experience in becoming a first-time dad. Since it looks like that post was one of your all-time favorites, my wordsmith of a husband is back today by popular demand.

Sharing one of my latest finds with you today that I'm absolutely loving! The best part? It is currently on major sale at less than $50.00 and you can nail another 10% off from there using the code E10 at checkout.

I love this dress because of its shorter length and flared sleeves. LA has been going through a major heat wave — with temps above 107 in the valley — so I've been braiding my hair in all different ways to keep it off my neck.

Phil and I are so excited to officially announce that we're expecting a baby girl! Throughout the beginning of my pregnancy, I was completely convinced that we were having a boy so this news came as a total surprise to me. Of course I've always dreamed of having a little girl to dress up and we couldn't be happier!

Our amazing wedding photographer surprised me with one of the most thoughtful gifts a recent bride and new wife could ever ask for: a personalized gold locket with our favorite wedding photo on the outside and engagement photo on the inside.

I'm so excited to post a sneak peek of our favorite pictures that came through so far of our wedding bouquets. When it came to designing these bouquets, we gravitated towards a mix of colorful bright pink blooms combined with softer spring colors.

Our wedding photos are slowly starting to trickle in and we can't wait to see them all. Our wedding night went so quickly, no matter how hard we tried to savor every moment, it still feels like it was all a dream.

Phil and I had the most amazing honeymoon on the Big Island of Hawaii and I only wish we could have extended our stay (or better yet, that we could have basked in the post-wedding glow forever without ever having to come back down to earth!).  

My bridal party and some other out-of-town friends flew in early to celebrate with me and they took me to my favorite vegan restaurant in LA--Crossroads. I wore a blue floral high-low dress for "something blue" and then accessorized with all-black accents.

Sharing an outfit I've been living in because it's so comfy and I'm loving the open back.I found this maxi dress at a cute boutique in West Hollywood and I love that it doubles up as a perfect coverup for our upcoming honeymoon to the Big Island in Hawaii!  I paired it with my comfy Birks, a lace bra-lette, my favorite denim jacket and beige sunnies.  

Presenting part two of my beautiful west coast bridal shower this past weekend. I am so thankful to the amazing women who came out to celebrate and to my west coast bridesmaids and maid of honor for helping to put this picture perfect Sunday together.

I had the pleasure of having an old Hollywood moment of my own this weekend with the help of the uber-talented Rachel Perryman of La Rouge Artistry. She helped me to achieve a classic glam look with loose curls and airbrushed makeup.
