Spring 2016 Fashion Series! Post 2: The Flat Mule!

The 90's are having a heavy comeback and so it shouldn't be of any surprise that the flat mule is making a comeback as well. The stylish slip-on showed up on dozens of runways during Spring 2016 Fashion Week and it was almost instantaneously that some of the top names in fashion blogging were spotted rockin' the new (yet old) shoe trend as well.

Reflecting on Life & Sharing My Birthday Look


Yesterday was my 31st birthday. It is honestly hard to believe that I am in my 30's. Not because I think I am old, let's be real...your 30's are your best years, but because I don't know where the time has gone. I mean I graduated, from college, almost 9 years ago...that is nuts. So much has happened since then and yet it doesn't feel like it was that long ago. It's kind of weird.

Birthday Dinner on the Monterey Fisherman's Wharf 

Every year, on my birthday, I reflect on the past year which tends to lead to reflecting on life in general. I can honestly say that I am very happy with where I am in my life and wouldn't change my journey one bit because it got me here. My journey has not always been easy...I'm telling you God likes to test me but that is because he knew how strong I was before I did.

Dressing Up in the Name of Love!

"I'm in Love, I'm in Love and I don't care who knows it!"

Valentine's Day is literally right around the corner and as usual my Hubs and I do not have plans. However, this doesn't mean that I have not started to think about what I am going to wear. To be completely honest, we don't really do much for Valentine's Day, last year we got burgers to-go and watched Better Call Saul at home and enjoyed a nice bottle of wine...it was perfect. No matter what we do, however, I always dress for the day even if it is casual and simply red jeans and a tee. I never miss a fashion opportunity.

Hello, El Niño...What to Wear on a Rainy Day!

I had all my West Coast Fashionistas in mind while writing this post!

My Boots: The North Face 
I have had them for years and they are my go-to for rain and snow.

If you are like me the second you see (or even hear) rain you just want to stay in your cozy clothes and stay indoors. Unfortunately, especially for us working adults, this is not always an option. So here is what I did...I went on the hunt for some stylish rainy day essentials to help y'all out of the house on those cold and wet (hopefully not also windy) days.

Packing for Apres Ski

I am super excited because I have a ski trip to South Lake Tahoe, with some of my favorite humans, on the books for February. Other than bachelorette parties and weddings I don't remember the last time we did a group trip (especially one that includes our hubbies). In fact, we may never have done this before. I am thinking there is a new tradition on the horizon.
This is the West Shore (where we usually go with my family)

In typical Mavelle Style fashion I am already thinking about what to pack; especially for Apres Ski...priorities people!
