Customized Classics from Sumissura

Have you guys heard of Sumissura? I was introduced to them last year (you can see me wearing their clothing here and here) and I gotta say, I’m all about the custom situation they offer – especially since it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Naturally, I wanted to share a couple of new items I’m loving from them at the moment.

First of all let me just say that the way things work with social media these days everyone seems to buy and wear the same items. That can get a little…boring. No? Anyhow, that’s why it’s so refreshing to me to be able to add some customization to my clothing. Not only in size, but maybe I’ll switch up the lining or add different colored buttons or thread. The opportunity to make something unique allows your personal style to come out.  read more

Road Trip to Cincinnati in the Toyota Camry XSE

As many of you may have seen on my Instagram, last week we took a road trip from Cleveland down to Cincinnati to watch the Cleveland Indians play against the Cincinnati Reds. The trip was sponsored by Toyota and I cannot even tell you how needed this trip was for us! Ever since moving across the country life has been a little bit of a whirlwind so it was nice to be able to not worry about anything for a couple of days and just hit the road.

A few days prior to leaving for our road trip Toyota dropped off their brand new Camry XSE at my house. I honestly didn’t even think the car was a Camry. It’s like the sportier, sexier version of the Camry most of us know. I was totally blown away by how nice this car was. From the double sun roof, to the WiFi (yes, this car had WiFi!), to the aerial view back up camera – I gotta say I was super impressed.  read more

My New Favorite Jeans

my new favorite pair of jeans

I am a firm believe that you can never own too many pairs of jeans. And you definitely can’t own too many Levi’s – and no this isn’t sponsored by Levi’s at all lol. I went to Free People at Eton here in Cleveland the other day and found my new favorite pair of jeans! They took the classic Levi 501’s and made them with a skinnier leg…basically perfected them. I love the regular 501’s but I do prefer a more tapered leg so this is the perfect combo! You can click here to shop the exact style I am wearing – they do run a bit big so I recommend sizing down and the wash I got is called ‘can’t touch this’. read more

Transition Your Wardrobe into Fall with a Denim Jacket

Because you just can’t go wrong with a good jean jacket. I own several different jean jackets and I’ll tell you what – most of them I’ve had for years and I continue to wear them each season. A jean jacket is the perfect item to help transition your wardrobe right into those cooler fall months ahead. When I lived in San Diego I would even wear them throughout the winter, but I have a feeling here in Ohio I’ll have to layer it under some sort of a parka if I want to stay warm! read more

Denim Mini + Bomber Jacket

Happy Friday loves! Sorry I’ve been a little MIA on the blog – my son and I took a quick trip back to San Diego last week because we missed it so much hehe. So now we’ve just been playing catch up on life this week. Going back to San Diego definitely brought up a lot of emotions considering we’ve only been gone for about 2.5 months, but one thing I can say is that home is really where your heart is. And although I left a piece of my heart in San Diego I’ve been busy laying a foundation for myself and my family here in Cleveland and it has quickly become a place I am happy to call home. read more
