I’ve always thought it would be so fun to do a pay phone photoshoot, and as we were driving through North Park the other day, I found one that was against a bright orange wall! Needless to say, we stopped and after a little (or a lot) of sanitizing, we got some great shots! Also, I’m dying to mention, my bag is actually a REAL … Continue reading MDM Style Diaries – “Calling All Fashionistas!”
As a dancer, runner, and longtime high heels addict, I’ll admit that my feet do crave a comfy option every once and awhile! I’ve really grown my collection of sneakers lately, and they’re a great option for Fall when it’s not quite cool enough to wear boots! The past few years have seen sneakers get a major upgrade from boring to ultra fashion-forward, and they’re … Continue reading Weekly Fashion Finds – Fall Sneaker Trends
Let’s be honest: who doesn’t love designer fashion? I know I do! But, loving high-priced goods while trying to stay on a budget doesn’t always allow for a happy ending… Or does it?

The hubby and I wanted to get away for the weekend, so we headed up to our favorite hideaway in Lake Tahoe! Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short due to the forest fires in the area shutting down the hiking trails, but we still had a great time relaxing, eating some good food, and squeezing a few hikes in before the smoke got … Continue reading MDM Style Diaries – @ The Stardust Motel
To me, corsets are the ultimate in femininity, elegance, and romance. What was once seen as a restrictive garment has been sort of reinvented this year as a modern celebration of liberation and personal choice. I’ve always held a fascination for corsets. Ever since watching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies as a kid, I’ve been enraptured in the old-fashioned art of dressing and the … Continue reading A Modern Gal’s Guide to Corsets
On a recent road trip, the hubby and I passed this abandoned drive-in restaurant and I immediately asked him to pull over so we could get some pics! I’m a sucker for vintage signs and retro vibes, so this ended up being the PERFECT location!

This year especially, I’m beyond enjoying summer and I’m so not ready for it to end! I’m holding onto every bit of the warm weather that I can, and that’s been influencing a lot of my style lately! Sandals in general seem to be having more of a moment than ever right now; from strappy 90s-inspired styles to the ever-popular pool slide, open-toes are the … Continue reading Three Sandals You Need Before Summer’s Over
Old Town, San Diego is one of the most popular spots in the city for Mexican food, local art and culture, and historic buildings.

Suddenly I’ve been seeing these enamel and crystal loopy-vine rings on my socials, and I must admit, I’m obsessed! They’re all at once playful and chic, heartening back to the Y2K trend that’s been taking this year by storm while also seeming inherently “grown-up”. I was so excited to snag me one… that is, until I saw the price… The designer who started this trend … Continue reading Designer Dupes – The Tendril Ring
