Blogger Crush: Sincerely Jules

I'm seriously obsessed with her style (if you couldn't tell). She puts together funky, fem pieces with a classic yet tomboy twist in a way that I adore. So it's no surprise that when Jac and I found out she'd be in Chicago giving a talk to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, there was zero question that we'd be attending.

Chatting with her post-panel was a complete pleasure; she is so refreshingly honest and gooooorgeous. Seriously, one of the sweetest and most down to earth people I have ever met. We talked about the importance of women support other women and how much family means to her. Speaking of family, the icing on the cake was when she asked if we were sisters. Jac and I get this a lot, and have no idea why people think this, but coming from Jules was all the validation we ever needed. From now on, we're twins.

Even if you're not as into the style aspect, but just looking for a new person to follow to spicen up your insta-feed, give her a follow to see her amazing food & travel snaps. Check here to see if she'll be coming to an area near you and to read the short interview she did with Macys. It was such a treat and a great way to kick off our weekend! Thank you Jules!

Summer Street Festivals

The Union Street Festival is the first festival I have attended this summer, kicking off the start of attending many more that are all free and take place in San Francisco throughout the summer. Good weather + great food, music, and shopping brings out people of all ages and walks of life, making for an enjoyable two day event. I'm looking forward to the Haight Street Fair, coming up this Sunday, June 9th, as well as the North Beach Festival, taking place on June 15th + 16th! Who else is attending free, fun, summer events?

Seasonal Whispers

Seasonal Whispers is a handmade jewelry company designed in downtown TriBeCa founded by a mother and daughter, Esther Lixenberg and Yafit Goldfarb. Their vision, to create jewelry as ever-changing as the seasons and as easy to wear as a whisper, really spoke to my mama and I since we fell in love with their designs a few years ago and cannot get enough of their bracelets! These photographs are from their Soho location that my mama and I always make sure to visit whenever we're in Manhattan. Last month, we had the pleasure of meeting Yafit while we stopped in and had a fabulous time shopping and trying on new designs!
