I told Chef Ivan this morning his culinary creations would go viral if he would just post them on IG. He said he doesn’t want to so… I’ll do it. The world deserves to see these masterpieces! 👨‍🍳 @westgateresorts You’ve got yourselves good one!

Day 2 in Myrtle Beach with @westgateresorts and I felt like a kid all over again. 🍭 Our itinerary today consisted of a river boat cruise on the @thebarefootqueennmb, then an afternoon shopping at @barefootlanding were I came upon a merry-go-round full of horses. The kid in me just couldn’t resist. 🐎 Our day ended with dinner at @riptydzmb and another soak in jet tub in my suite with the balcony door open to listen to the waves crashing outside my balcony.
Tomorrow we explore the beach! 🏖
Check out my IG stories for more glimpses into our adventures!

It may be the official first day of fall, but it certainly feels like summer here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Sunset evening walks on the beach just outside the resort to end day one with @westgateresorts.

Headed back to my favorite state today for a press trip! ✨South Carolina ✨Why is it my favorite? Because I feel I was Southern Belle in a past life. Serving sweet tea with an endless love for biscuits. I’m excited to explore Myrtle Beach in the north part of the state since I’ve only ever been to thd south. Stay tuned to see where I’m headed.

It’s September which means it’s time to make my annual fall pilgrimage to @tjmaxx and stock up on new designer apparel from their fabulous Runway collection! #tjmaxxfinds #TheRunway #Fallstyle

I wish the fall weather was here in LA so I could take part in the fall fashion of cute sweaters, boots and hats. But it’s still 75 degrees and sunny here so I’ll just transport myself back to the Dolomites where is was a cool 40 degrees.

Caught a head cold so in between resting I’m trying to convert my home to fall decor since I only get to enjoy it for 30 days before I switch over to Halloween! 🎃 Started with my hutch that I eventually want to paint black, but for now, the white and floral wallpaper will have to do.
My trick to transition for fall: pick a color palette and remove items that don’t fit that color palette for things that do. For example: my fall color palette is black, beige, burnt orange and bronze. Stay tuned for more fall decor.

Took the train from Los Angeles to Paso Robles for @apotratz’s annual company #Revelry with @firestonewalker which took place at the @estrellawarbirdsmuseum. We saw World War II airplanes, F-14’s, 100 year old cars along with endless 🍻 and cheers.

MINDSET: Probably one of the hardest things to master. It’s been a rollercoaster of battling self doubt these past few months. Something you’ll never see on IG. As my friend and mentor Paula P. puts it: “yesterday is in the past and today is a new day.”☀️ I’m not perfect, but I’m committed to be 1% better each day and keep pushing forward towards my goals and not let any negative thoughts or self doubt get in my way. I inspire you to do the same. ❤️

My chandelier from @urbanambiancesocial is finally installed and I’m in love 😍 It adds the perfect amount of glam that my dining my room needed. I also added a ceiling plate for an extra wow factor✨ Definitely better than the outdated ceiling fan I had before! What do you think?

CLOSET MAKEOVER 👠 Living in a home that’s almost 100 years old requires some serious closet organization. People just didn’t need the closet space we do now. So I hired @closet_factory to help me build custom shelving for this space and although we had some very frustrating setbacks (you can read all about it on the blog) we managed to get it done.

What do you think of this space?

4 EASY TIPS FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS 🏡

Buying your first home is exciting! Here are a few things that will make the process easier for you:
1. Save as much money as possible to help with your down payment, closing costs and any other expenses 💵 (moving, new furniture, new paint, etc.)
2. Pay down as much debt as possible. 💳This will help improve your credit score giving you better mortgage rate options and better buying power.
3. Figure out a monthly payment that you are comfortable with.💰Remember your monthly payment will include PITI:
* principle mortgage payment
* Interest
* Taxes and
* Insurance
As well as all your other monthly bills. You don’t want to be in a situation where so much of your income is spent on your housing that you become “house poor.” So plan accordingly
4. Talk to a lender! 👨‍💼👩‍💼A lot of people think this happens right when you’re ready to buy a house, but no! Talking to a lender at the beginning of your home buying journey can help you set up a financial strategy to get there sooner than expected and let you know your options for the best loans for your situation!

Last night’s date night at @japonica.sushi in Redondo Beach. 🍣 @apotratz and I made it just in time for happy hour and ordered:
*Bumblebee Tuna Roll
*edamame
*chicken gyoza
*crispy rice topped with tuna (not happy hour)
*crispy shrimp roll (didn’t much care for this last one but everything else was DELICIOUS.)

Then on our way home we stopped by Point Vicente Lighthouse to watch the sunset. 🌅

We came home to watch “Field of Dreams.” An incredible movie I can’t believe I’d never seen before. Definitely a must-watch.

Just because something looks ugly doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. A look at my living room renovation done with only cosmetic upgrades: removing the bulky, dark shutters, brightening the room with paint and a beautiful rug from @boutiquerugs to tie the space together. But wait… it gets better! This rug is WASHABLE! I’m sharing the link in my IG stories under the “Shop Home” tag.
