Shore Projects Watches

Shore Projects sent me the classiest watch the other week. Inspired the British seaside, Shore Projects aims to create a timeless, quality product with vintage influences and modern, innovative touches. All Shore Projects watches are made with stainless steel cases, crystal sapphire glass and are waterproofed to 100m. What makes Shore Projects a stand out piece is the strap mechanism that allows you to switch out straps for versatility, options, and every day use.

Shore Projects is partnered with the Marine Conservation Society which helps increase protection levels for aquatic wildlife and habitats, as well as improve the conditions of our seas and coastlines. Shore Projects will donate �1 ($1.51) for every watch sold to MCS, to help support them in their aim to protect the beaches.

I enjoyed getting to peruse all of the watch and strap options, and what I loved about receiving my Shore Projects watch was the impeccable style and design of the box, packaging, and how the "Salcombe" rose gold plated watch and black PVD mesh straps were absolutely exquisite. The package included directions, product details, and a tool to adjust the mesh strap.

My wrists are unfortunately too small to properly fit the mesh straps, even on the smallest adjustable notch; however the style, design, and quality-feel were quite impressive and Shore Projects is a great personalized present for a special someone in your life.
There's a variety of watch faces and straps and the packaging makes it the perfect gift. You can even select a "gift box" option in which you select a watch and three straps. Shop Now!

The Bay Club Carmel Valley

Last month, Renee and I had the pleasure of getting to experience the Bay Club Carmel Valley. Before enjoying a day at the Bay Club, we were treated to a stay at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad (in which I received a phenomenal MZ Wallace bag filled with all sorts of goodies from the Bay Club) as well as an amazing dinner at Cucina Enoteca with other influencers and the Bay Club.
We started our Bay Club Experience with a  morning of hatha yoga which was an extremely relaxing and zen way to kick off the day. We then toured the grounds to see the club offerings. There are so many amenities and activities for everyone of all ages, it's jaw dropping! The Bay Club is for everyone, but is especially appealing to families and the "modern mom"; mom can drop off her kid(s) at a class or day care then run off to take a fitness class such as Pilates, yoga, or spin or have a soothing massage done in the Sanctuary Spa. I myself had a massage done and definitely dozed off in the middle of it because it was THAT good! Afterwards, I was given a mimosa to enjoy while lounging about in a robe.
There's a 15,000 square foot fitness center for those that want to conduct their own work out on state of the art equipment or have a personal training session. The cafe makes it easy to grab a quick bite to eat, or enjoy a more luxe and lounge-y experience at the recently launched 77 Social Club. All around the grounds are cushioned chair and tables for those that want to post up and get some work done or hang out. There are 3 pools, 8 tennis courts, a basketball court, Pilates studio, yoga studio, spin/cycle studio, racquetball courts; you name it. The Bay Club also offers a variety of events and activities for families to enjoy together, just for kids, or for more of a social gathering.
Our experience from beginning to end was top notch, and we loved that we could store our things in the locker room and have access to steam rooms, dry saunas, private showers, and lounge and vanity area; and shop in "The Shop", which I picked up my ALL TIME FAVE black jeans by Black Orchid and a GoPro (THANKS A MILLION BAY CLUB)!
Renee and I both enjoyed getting our grub on at the chic 77 Social Club, and we pretty much ordered everything on the menu; all of the dishes and drinks were SO GOOD and the service was impeccable. We ended the day with the "We Can Survive" pool party hosted by AMP Radio, we enjoyed cocktails, taking a ton of photos at a photo booth, and jamming out while lounging on pool inflatables. The Bay Club marries together a resort feel with hospitality, sports, fitness and wellness for an unparalleled membership experience.
Thank you to the Bay Club for this experience, it was a phenomenal one! Bay Club recently expanded its footprint in Southern California with the addition of campuses in Thousand Oaks and Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, West LA and South Bay with updated features and amenities slated for 2016.

Fashion Island Nightly Tree Lighting

I got to experience Fashion Island's Annual Tree Lighting on November 8th and it included my favorite Disney friends for a very magical show! This year, Olaf made an appearance, and Disneyland's 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration was the focal point of the extravaganza. But, the tree being lit while surrounded by faux snow was definitely the highlight of the evening! If you didn't get a chance to experience the annual tree lighting, or you want to re-live the twinkling lights and Disney holiday music, you can enjoy the nightly tree lighting moment at 5pm every evening until January 3, 2015!

The Outlets at Orange Shopping Haul Novmber 2015

My shopping haul with Scott at the Outlets at Orange last weekend. Let the holiday shopping commence!

Burnout Velvet Dress for the Holidays

I'm so excited to share that 16thColony dropped their Holiday 15 collection, Fireproof yesterday, which I had the honor of being apart of during their photo/video shoot as the set manager. You can see the lookbook and video here and how I styled the Rebel Dress for StyleCon in this post! I wanted to mix badass with boho babe vibes, so I paired faux leather platform sandals with the velvet burnout & fringe midi dress; and accessorized by layering a choker and faux stone necklace. I've been on a choker kick lately, so if you see me in person, I'll most likely be rockin one, two or even three! For StyleCon, I got my hair and makeup done by the Sleekhair team (hair by Joe Espinoza of Schwarzkopf, and makeup by Maria Fezelet) and got to rock that beauty look for the Contouring 101 Beauty Panel I was apart of. Stay tuned for coverage from StyleCon!
