Good morning! Over the weekend we enjoyed a rare night out with great friends (without Lucia) in Burlingame – good company, good food, good laughs… so good for the soul. Hope you have a wonderful start to the week!

 I do love a touch of leopard (like this clutch) – and there is so much good leopard out there right now! Here are some of my favorites:

 Good morning! You may have noticed: my dress code has relaxed a bit. With twice-monthly board meetings and other events/meetings for work, I still have plenty of opportunities to dress up, but stylish-casual is what I’m typically aiming for these days. Which suits me just fine for now, because it’s a better style fit for my other job too (as an infant-chasing mom!).

PS: Have you scored anything amazing from the recent sales? I haven’t done as much damage this time around… but I did manage to pick up this and this for Lucia (extra 40% off the sale price!) and I’m anxiously waiting for this sale to start tomorrow (new season items!)!
