I was first introduced to cabi back in early 2012 when I was invited to attend their huge bi-annual event called “The Scoop”. Twice a year, the cabi girls (cabi consultants) and the whole cabi team come together for a weekend of fashion, training & fun. But most exciting is the official unveiling of the upcoming season’s collection! I’ve been to several local fashion shows and I’ve got to tell you that NOTHING compares to the energy & excitement of a cabi fashion show! This year, I am so excited to share that I will once again be attending and will be covering the event on my social media channels so be sure to follow along on the fun (#cabiscoop)! Oh…but there’s more! Now YOU can get a virtual front row seat to the cabi Spring 2017 fashion show (to be broadcast on Jan 13th) simply by registering here! In the meantime, you can get a sneak peek of the cabi Spring 2017 collection here.

So is it just me or do 3/4 length sleeves bother anyone else? Don’t get me wrong…I have a TON of them. But I love me some long sleeve blouses. Especially when they have beautiful lace detailing like the tempest blouse from cabi’s new “holiday charms” collection. You can’t tell in these photos but the hem also has a beautiful lace trim. And the peekaboo lace in the back is my favorite. You can easily wear this top in the day with a pair of flats & jeans and then dress it up with accessories and your favorite heels for date night! You can see the whole “holiday charms” collection here but stay tuned as I will be styling more of my favorite pieces here on the blog.

Back in April, myself and a handful of bloggers were invited to attend Cabi’s first-ever #CabiBloggerDay held at their home offices in Southern CA. We kicked off our morning with a pink champagne toast and then had the most delicious welcome breakfast with Cabi’s CEO Lynne Coté & the Cabi executive team. It was so inspiring to hear each of the women’s unique stories/situations of how/why they decided to become Cabi stylists. Then we were off to tour the shipping warehouse and meet with the Cabi design team. The whole day was truly a blast but I think meeting Kat Woodside (Chief Design Officer) and Becky Jantzen (Fashion Director) was a highlight for me. You could absolutely tell that these women are doing what they love to do. I seriously wanted to put Becky in my back pocket and steal her to be my personal stylist! I am so envious of her effortless ability to make even the most basic pieces look super chic and stylish! Oh, and we also got a sneak peek of the Fall 2016 Collection which btw, you guys are going to LOVE. Next up was an inside look at the making of the Notion and Look Book with Cabi’s Executive Creative Director, Daniele Trussardi. The Notion and Look Books are great marketing pieces that Cabi stylists can give to their clients so they are inspired with fresh new ways to style their new Cabi pieces. Then we got to attend a mock Cabi fashion experience hosted by none other than one of Cabi’s co-founders, Kim Carpenter. We got to sip wine and see & shop the clothes just as you would if you attended a real show. I mean, what better way to shop than in the comfort of your own home with friends!?! And did I mention wine? Ha! And last but not least, we were introduced to the Heart of Cabi Foundation which encourages and empowers women in need. From donating clothing to empowering women entrepreneurs in third world countries to work their way out of poverty, Cabi is passionate about investing in women across the globe.

At the end of the day, we got to raid the Cabi sample racks and were treated to mini-makeovers and a professional photoshoot wearing our favorite Cabi outfit of choice! Don’t forget to watch the short video highlighting the day at the end of this post!

Outfit Details: Cabi Fresco Dress, Cabi Cobblestone Cardigan, Elizabeth Stone Crescent Necklace (I didn’t get the brand of the belt/shoes as I borrowed them from the Cabi styling closet!)

Every Fall/Winter, I stock up on new cardigans. They are the perfect light layering piece for Southern CA weather. I pretty much live in them so I should probably just apologize now because you are going to be seeing a ton of them here on the blog. Starting with this Countryside Sweater cardigan from CAbi. CAbi just released their New Arrivals Two collection called “Welcome Joy” TODAY which included twelve new pieces for Fall. I will be styling a few pieces here on the blog in the coming week but had to start with the Serenity Tee. It is SO super cozy (like for reals…I want to wear it to workout, all day long and then to bed!) and matches the Countryside Sweater perfectly. I also am obsessed with the color…heather navy…it’s not quite gray and not quite navy. Definitely a new fave!

Is there anything better than a dress that is so comfy, you could wear it all day and then seriously consider wearing it to bed after? This dress definitely lives up to it’s name…that’s for sure! COMFY. Pretty sure it is going to be one of my summer staples. I don’t know about you guys…but time seems to be flying by as of late. It was a busy weekend with Easter festivities, a BBQ with the fam and a 40th birthday celebration for one of my besties. You know the saying you need a vacation after your vacation? I kind of feel like I need a weekend after just having a weekend. Happy Monday friends!
