Just for fun, I thought I’d highlight my favorites from the 2010 South Coast Plaza Holiday Gift Guide. La Jolla Girl and I had a wonderful visit to South Coast Plaza last week, and I hope to get up there again before Christmas. It was hard to select just a few items as they’re all so beautiful. You’ll have to click on the dresses to fully see them. 1. Donna Karen Dress (black) 2. Carolina Hererra [...]

Take a Road Trip to South Coast Plaza This Holiday Season

November 23, 2010

I grew up in Orange County and have been to South Coast Plaza hundreds of times, but not much in the past decade, unfortunately. South Coast Plaza is still family owned by the Segerstrom family, after all of these years. They invited some local bloggers to witness their annual tree lighting ceremony. La Jolla Girl and I arrived early on Thursday and shopped a little bit before checking into the Westin South Coast Plaza. That evening, [...]

July 27, 2010

Sassy City Chicks by lajollamom featuring James Perse dresses This is pretty much me in this polyvore.

I bought a James Perse t-shirt on super sale at Bloomingdales for $25 the other day marked down [...]

I lack variety too, probably because I should be looking at more affordable luxury handbags. Who doesn’t love a nice handbag?  A brand called Rough Roses was recently brought to my attention. It sounded familiar so I’m pretty sure I’ve seen [...]

In celebration of “Eco-Monday” (it’s a thing on Twitter – #ecomonday), I thought I’d highlight three different eco-friendly products I’ve recently stumbled across. Sprout Watches:  I have to admit that I was a little bit skeptical about these.  In the interest of keeping it real, I should tell you that my normal watch lives in the safe when not on my wrist so I wasn’t sure I’d like the Sprout.  I received a large pink [...]

I had the pleasure of meeting Kerri of  tenthings jewelry through La Jolla Mom.  She is probably one of the most stylish people I know – Southern California, chic, casual, bohemia style.  I love reading her blog.  Her husband (a green realtor) went to La Jolla High and she runs Surf Diva’s social media, so our paths cross on occasion. I will throw in the disclaimer that her jewelry is right up my alley.  I [...]
