Sitting around this morning, I realized I didn’t write a blog about this chambray dress I wore to Rubino Vineyards last month. I received so many messages asking about this dress, and so here it is. This dress may be sold out, but I have added some links to a few others that are similar and totally affordable. So check it out!
Today is just a lazy Sunday over here at the Wagner’s. Pancakes, chores and pumpkin carving later tonight just about sums up our day. The kids have been so involved in sports the last few months that I am really looking forward to a much needed couple months off before they start up again after the holidays. And although it is not even Halloween, I am one of THOSE people who loves Thanksgiving and decorating for Christmas. Scroll down for information on my look.
What I love most about this dress is the pretty lace up detail on the bodice. It also helps accentuate what little curves I have and gives me a nice waist. Something I have always lacked due to my condition. I feel like a chambray dress can totally be incorporated into a Fall or even Winter look. You can even wear this with thick tights and a little blazer.
I wore this dress with my FAVORITE loafers. These are not only super comfy, but they are so adorable. Of course I had to find a shoe that had champagne featured on them. This brand makes the cutest loafers and designs. You can even have your own designed including your initials.
I hope everyone has a great Halloween this week! Take pictures and eat plenty of candy! My favorite’s are Baby Ruth and Reese’s although my candy of choice is definitely See’s truffles.

Is it seriously July?! Summer has officially begun and with that came a 100 degree …
Always sad leaving our favorite camping spot…we’ve been bringing the kids here 2-3 times a year for the last 5 years and it never gets old. Sure, we could bring them to SoCal, where it’s warmer and packed with a crap ton of people. However, we much prefer the cooler weather (helps with my POTS), rocky cliffs, less people and you travel through the redwood forest (which looks like a storybook). We love it up here and fantasize about moving somewhere like this once Nicky graduates. See you in June Westport…. ...
In my happy place for a long weekend….Comment COAST and I’ll send the link for this cute sweater (comes in East Coast too)!

I just binge watched Renovation Aloha and now I NEED another trip to Hawaii. It doesn’t look like it’s in the cards for us this year with Emma going to Boston for singing (we are tagging along for the last week). Buuuutttt, if we were to go……Which is your favorite and why? Big Island or Kauai? We’ve already been to Oahu and Maui and I love each of them for different reasons. PS, I painted all my doors in the house blue on a whim and I think I love them 💙 ...
