Rib Knit Sweater Dress

Ribbed Knit Sweater Dress | OOTD Jen Hawkins on Palms to Pines fashion blog
It’s finally cool enough around here to wear my fall stuff, just as all the winter stuff is coming out ;).  Isn’t that the way it goes?  But I do love this sweater dress enough that I’ll keep it around for our California “winter”.  It could also be a good one for Thanksgiving dinner, depending on where you live!

Lazy + Last Minute Halloween Costumes

Last minute halloween costumes including the snapchat dog!
If you’re like me, “lazy” and “last minute” describe your Halloween.  I hate to admit it, but Halloween ALWAYS sneaks up on me, I’m not sure what our plans will be, and I end up regretting my lack of planning.  Even when I do have time to plan, I feel like there are some instances where I just want to show a little bit of spirit without going all out.  These include kids’ Halloween parties…

Mock Neck & Wrap Skirt | Costa Cabana

Costa Cabana wrap skirt and more on Jen Hawkins of Palms to Pines style blog
I love shopping online, especially when it comes to big department stores.  But there are a few places that I still LOVE to actually go visit the store – Costa Cabana is that spot for me here in Costa Mesa.  The store is so cute and fun to be in, but I also know they are going to have the newest & cutest stuff from my favorite brands.  I was in there last week and…

This Plaid Shirt from The Oxford Trunk. Plaid Blouse | Necklace The Test That Tells You Who You “Should” Vote For.  Who else feels as confused and frustrated with the election as I do?  One of the most annoying parts of this election is that the candidates have spent so much time battling with each other that I STILL don’t know what policies they stand for.  This is a fun test that tells you where your alliances to…

RiSE Festival 2016 | Mojave Desert

We just had such a special weekend together, and I’m left with a feeling I get a lot.  It’s a mixture of feeling so grateful for Blake and this ache of missing the rest of our family who are so far away.  Does that ever go away?  I don’t think so. We were lucky to get to go to the RiSE Festival for the third time.  It’s always hard to find the words to explain…

Sweater Dresses.  Of any kind!  This one from Topshop is kind of old-school looking and a great price point.

Printed Tunic Top | California Fall

Printed tunic top on Jen Hawkins Palms to Pines
I can’t believe October has creeped in!  I wish the weather here matched how I’m feeling – I’ve been seeing pictures of the fall leaves with lots of envy.  I think Blake is really sick of me saying how much I want to be in the mountains right now, but I can’t help it.  I feel like living in California always puts me behind on the holidays.  It just doesn’t seem right to put up…

Last night I went to a party hosted by James Michelle (maker of my amazing cuff rings you see on here so often!) and Cleobella.  I finally got to meet Jamie of James Michelle, caught up with some old friends, and made some new ones.  I wish I had more pictures from the actual party because it was beautiful!  But I do have photos of what I wore…;) Slip Dresses. I’m super into slip dresses, especially…

Whole30 meal
Alright, here is something I have been thinking (actually thanks to my sister Tahni), and I decided to share it with you – October is the PERFECT time to do Whole30.  Yep, I said it.  Here’s why – summer is over – if you’re like me you went HAM the last few weeks of summer – and it’s your last chance to get your sh*t together before the holidays.  Obviously, there is never an EASY time…
