ONE DAY IN LA WITH CATHERINE’S

I rarely get to play tourist in my own city but earlier this month my friends at Catherine’s came to visit LA and see the sites. I was lucky enough to team up with some of my favorite bloggers, Glam By Runa, and Curvy Girl Chic, while venturing around the city I call home. We started the day one of my favorite West Hollywood hot spots, the Palihouse. If you haven’t been, I recommend hitting up the rooftop for drinks or lunch.

We started getting ready for our day by ordering some delicious brunch and of course we had to take pics! I am wearing the eternal romance dress which is perfect for an event during the day or a night out!

For our next stop, I decided on this casual little denim number.  I love a great dress and this was perfect for running around town comfortably while still looking cute!  I paired it with brown cut out sandals to finish off my look. Total side note, if you haven’t tried Catherine’s shoes, they’ve stepped up their game (see what I did there) and the shoes are more stylish and comfortable than ever!

After we had our share of pics at LACMA (you know how bloggers are!) we headed off to see the stars on Hollywood Boulevard.

And of course since the Hollywood sign was so close by, we had to pop over to the secret park that sits right below the famous sign to snag some pics.

No trip to LA is complete without hitting the beach. We headed towards Santa Monica where we made pit stop at The Huntley, which has one of my favorite views of the city and a glass elevator which lets you capture everything on the way up!

I knew this cold shoulder turquoise maxi would perfectly compliment the vibrant colorful feel of the pier.  I paired it with these cute gold heels also from Catherine’s which were perfect for strolling around at sunset. I am really all about looking elegant while being comfortable and I think this dress achieved just that!

In the spirit of the holiday season I've partnered with @lyft for their #lyftgifts program. The program is a holiday twist on Lyft's existing year-round Local Grants program which awards ride credits to local non-profits. Helping women feel their best through the way they dress has always been a key focus on my platform, which is why I have decided to award ride credits to Dress For Success @dfswest.  Nonprofits can learn more and apply for their Local Grants program at https://www.lyftwheelsforall.com/  @markusmolinari #giftfromLyft

Finding the right dress for the holiday party season can be hard enough but finding the right underwear for your party dress can be a tricky feat. The last thing you want is to wear uncomfortable underwear that bunches up or shows through! I normally only wear comfy underwear when lounging at home but discovering Fit For Me @teamfitforme microfiber briefs has been a game changer! Not only are they tag free with a wider waistband but their soft, sleek fabric provides all day comfort while sitting smoothly under my clothes! They are the perfect underwear to go under all my party dresses. You can stock up in a convenient multipack at fruit.com or Walmart.com @teamfitforme #sponsored

Reminding myself that the smallest step in the right direction can be the biggest step of your life ✨✨✨ What is one thing you’re working on today that is moving you in the right direction?! 💃🏻 Photo @alexandrafolster || Dress @eloquii || Boots @lineapaoloshoes  #xoq #gifted

What really makes for the best pair of underwear? My days often include running around from events to meetings with clients or taking the latest yoga class. Regardless of what I am doing, I can tell you there are now a few key things I look for in every pair of underwear: comfort & fit.  Luckily @teamfitforme cotton briefs are created to fit your curves perfectly, meaning they comfortably stay in place all day. Not only are they tag free but they’ve also used a super soft fabric to cover the leg bands which means no pinching. Did I mention it’s super easy to stock up on these wardrobe essentials with a convenient multi-pack? Simply go to www.fruit.com or Walmart.com to grab yours.  #sponsored
