A LOOOOOONG WEEKEND

Woo hoo for three-day weekends! Monday is a holiday for us, so I’m taking advantage and playing catchup with friends as well as work… Last weekend was spent making new friends, but this weekend I’m happy to be back at home spending time with a few of my best girlfriends as we plan another friend’s [...]

VACATION WHITES

Well, if last few days didn’t get me in the mood for summer, I don’t know what will. Laying out in vineyards, surrounded by some seriously fun and fabulous people, sipping wine in the middle of the day, and talking about spending weekends on the shore this summer…. it’s no wonder my mind is ready [...]

    Love the Diallo Coral Chandelier in White – truly stunning in person and perfectly fits that serene absence of color you mention, while also giving huge design impact with it’s irregular form. Love , love , love it!!!

THE WEDDING SEASON BEGINS…

This weekend kicks of the first of my summer weddings – but this one may end up being the most special. I’ve known the bride since we were only four, growing up in LA together. She’s an amazing woman, and I’ve always been surprised at how our paths seemed to naturally weave in and out [...]

    Yes please, we need some different weddings. I’m SO OVER the usual ‘blog’ wedding which looks like a crafty photo shoot with mason jars and so on. Love the place names above!

    AMEN re: mason jars and burlap. I am getting married in November and it’s all about classic glamour – ivory, champagne, and gold accented with garlands of greens!

SPRING MAKEUP TRENDS :: BLUE, BRONZE AND CORAL

I like to refresh my makeup cabinet every season with just a few essentials (its also a good excuse to clean out old stuff), but how’s a girl to know what to buy if her head isn’t constantly submerged in the beauty world 24/7? I decided it was time I did a little research and [...]

    I’m loving all of this! I’m thinking I’ll rock tan skin and some blue subtle eyes for an event this weekend!

    Also, love how you edited the look above!

    I love the bold brow look! I wish I could rock it—but with blonde hair and really light brows, it just looks too intense on me. I’ve been using Pixi’s natural brow duo from Target to make them stand out a bit but look natural, and I really like it.

INSPIRATION // AN ENCHANTED EVENING

Last year, I collaborated with Emily at Elva Fields to put together a one-of-a-kind necklace that she created just for me. I enjoyed the project so much, and while we were working together, I pinned a bunch of inspiration images – one of which I haven’t been able to get out of my head… The [...]
