Beachy Bathroom

I love the beach and since I do not live by the shore, I wanted to dedicate at least one room to the beach: my bathroom.

Low-Maintenance Days

Today is supposed to be one of the first snowstorms of this year.  After a very mild, unusually warm winter, we are expecting a White Wenesday.  So instead of pretty-ing myself up, I tied my hair back with a headband and grabbed put on some mascara and lip gloss. 

{Tied my west hair back in a small bun & threw on a headband.  Perfect for those days where you have 5 minutes to pull a look together.}

Pretty in Pastels

Spring is just around the corner.  The color of pretty flowers, greenery, and bright blue skies inspires me to lighten up my wardrobe a bit- colorwise, of course. Pastels are so flirty and fun and can be incoporated in so many different ways.

My Red Carpet :)

This past weekend was a much-needed couple of days of relaxing with friends & family.  Sushi, The Oscars, and pretty nails were a great recipe to this weekend.

Vote for Alice and Reza

One of my good friends, Alice,  just got engaged over the holidays.  Alice and her fiance Reza are a beautiful couple.  Alice just lost her father a few months ago and since Reza could not ask her Dad for permission to propose, he asked Alice’s mother.  He is a true gentleman.  Alice and Reza have entered the Dream Wedding contest and are the most deserving couple for this contest.  Please help by voting at the link below.  You can vote 10 times per day.  Let’s help them get the wedding of their dreams!
