Hello and I’m back from a whirlwind weekend trip to Portland, Oregon! This time of year is a busy travel season for Adrian and he was out in Portland at the end of last week. We decided last minute to have him extend his stay there through the weekend so we could make a mini vacation out of it! I’ll be sharing a travel guide and hotel review on the blog very soon but I did post a few highlights on my Instagram if you’re interested!
Meanwhile nothing feels better than coming home to my kids and I couldn’t be happier right now as I’m laying next to Mei in bed (I think she may have had a bad dream). It’s been a long day and while my body is tired, my heart is so full and happy. It’s back to work for me tomorrow and I have a busy few weeks coming up with a big project release scheduled for the first week of October. I wanted to share this comfy and chi work outfit that I wore to the office as it’s one of my favorites and so perfect as we transition into fall!
I fell in love with this ruffle jacket the instant I saw it and even though it’s been excluded from all sale promotions, it’s worth every penny at full price! The material is so much softer than the utility jacket material that I was expecting. The ruffles are like a silky satin while the main fabric is like a smooth khaki. Sizes are sold out on J.Crew’s site but more are in stock at Nordstrom thankfully. Don’t wait to pull the trigger on this one if your size is available!
I’ve also been living in this pant + shoe combination (first shared on my Instagram here). Express Petites is spot on when it comes to petite sizing and I’ve picked up both this pant and this pant for wearing as part of my work outfit. I would recommend sizing down if you’re in-between and want a slimmer look — I’m wearing a size 00P without any alterations!
As for the mules / slides trend that is happening right now, I am absolutely loving it! These shoes slide on like slippers, look so luxe with the calf hair leopard print, and are comfy enough to stand in all day! I would recommend sizing up as they do run small and slightly narrow. This pair is similar and currently part of the 50% off promotion at Ann Taylor – use code MYSTERY50! I also just picked up this nude pair and can’t wait for it to come in. : )
