3 Simple Weekday Outfits

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend! With every new week comes the task of putting together outfits. Sometimes outfit planning can be daunting, but always remember to stick with your basic wardrobe staples and neutral colors and the planning process becomes a lot easier. I have come up with three simple weekday outfits that are perfect transitions from work to errands to drinks with the girls.

Fall Shoes with Sole + Luster

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am a bit shoe crazy. I have more pairs than I would like to admit, but I honestly feel that the right shoes can make or break an outfit. Recently on Instagram I came across a great online retail store that sells stylish shoes at an affordable price. Sole + Luster's curated collection of shoes offers the latest trends that allow the modern woman to look chic everyday. I picked some of my faves that are perfect for fall!

Candles, Candles, Candles

One of my favorite things to do after a long day is light a candle, sit in my cozy chair and just relax. Subtlety is the key to a great scented candle in my opinion, if it is too strong it overwhelms a space. Since I have quite sensitive eyes and I found that soy candles are the best way for my eyes not to burn every time I’m in the room. PaddyWax and Voluspa are my two favorite brands – they have every smell imaginable!

Since it’s not quite fall weather in SoCal, I have to resort to lighting candles like “Autumn Harvest” and “Pumpkin Spice” to have the feeling of fall!

Do you light candles around your house? What are some of your favorite scents?

Losing a Loved One

Losing a loved one is never easy. This past weekend was the one year anniversary of the passing of my Grampi. I have lost quite a few people in my life, but none have been as devastating or as hard as the loss of my grandfather. He was sick for quite a while, but his loss was very much unexpected. I can still vividly remember the day he passed because I had just seen him in the hospital the day prior and I was out to lunch with a girlfriend. I got home, walked in the house and I immediately knew something was wrong – that is when my mom told me he was gone. I fell to my knees and could literally feel my heart hurting. That day will never be forgotten from my memory.

Not a day has passed in the past year that I have not thought about him or remembered the memories that I have with him. Knowing that he won’t see me get married or have great grandchildren is a hard concept to process. Even though I know he is my angel up in heaven and is always watching over me, I still wish I could pick up the phone and call him. I would do anything to just have one last conversation with my Grampi.

I think that when you lose someone you love, the grief and pain never truly goes away. It just becomes bearable. Slowly my life has returned to normalcy, but he is with me in everything I do! I love him and I miss him very much.

Have you ever lost someone you loved? I would love to hear your story…

“Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day unseen, unheard but always near. Still loved. Still missed and very dear.”

Happy Friday everyone! As much as I would like to say that I am looking forward to this weekend, I'm not. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the passing of my Grampi. He was one of the best men I knew and I know he is with me every single day. Remember to take the time to tell your loved ones how much they are loved because you never know how much time you will have left with them. I will be sharing more about my Grampi on Monday...stay tuned.
