A Mixed Bag

When I saw this bag personality quiz on Refinery 29, I literally laughed out loud.  It’s so good and so true!  I am in the market for a new bag and love the Celine luggage tote, but I’m not so crazy about the fact that it is everywhere.  What’s a girl to do?

Which bag do you most adore?

Her Style {January Jones}

This picture kills me!  The gold jewelry is seriously to die for.  If you can’t tell, I am so glad to have Mad Men back in my life!  It  just wasn’t the same without them.  Since I was majorly missing my girl January Jones on Sunday night’s episode I thought I would take today to highlight her effortless chic personal style.   Exhibit A:

Her style is super classic, flattering for her body type and not fashion forward without being … +more

Springtime Trifle

Can you hardly believe your eyes?!  When I opened these images from Eva over at Miss Renaissance it was all I could do not to dash immediately out of the house and over to the market to get all of the ingredients for this springtime trifle.  I have been a fan of Eva’s blog for quite some time and thought it might be fun to have her teach us a recipe or two and she so kindly obliged.  I love … +more

The Perfect Tee

What could possibly be more effortless chic than the perfect tee for spring?  Its easy and casual with a pair of jeans and flats and totally fabulous under a tuxedo jacket with great shoes!  In the market for a new one?  These are some of my current favorites…

How will you wear it?

Cocktail Hour {French 75}

Last weekend when I was in Phoenix, I had my very first martini.  Shocking, right?! That’s when I realized there are still so many delicious beverages that I have yet to try.  To solve this not-so-problematic-problem, I have created this column, Cocktail Hour, as place to not only post some fun photo shoot action, but also to give me an excuse to play mixologist and create fun cocktails on a weekly basis.  Naturally, the inaugural shoot had to be … +more

What I Want For Spring…

{POLKA DOT PANTS!}

Absolutely love how this pair of Topshop polka-dot pants hits both notes of fun and sophistication at the same time!  They are perfectly cropped and look perfectly chic with these chunky t-strap heels.  These specific ones aren’t available anymore (so sad!) but these ones or these ones are on my must-have list for sure!

What do you think?  Would you wear them?

{Birthday} Banana Spice Cake

You might want to be sitting down for this:  My husband is not a dessert person.

Crazy, right?  We are quite the pair because personally I can’t even imagine the horror of a world without dessert.  My birthday cake  had layers of marscapone and raspberry between perfect fluffy layers of moist vanilla bean cake and almond icing… yum!  Sadly, I knew this simply wouldn’t make the cut for Aaron so after much brainstorming I settled upon a banana spice cake … +more

Pink Pout

The perfect pink lip color is definitely on my Spring must-have list!  I love the bright punchy color with very clean and natural makeup elsewhere– so fresh and summery, not to mention quick and easy!  I am probably sounding redundant because I have certainly said it before, but the best part about a bright lip is that it makes a big statement but doesn’t cost a lot.  You can get the look for under $10 at the drug store.
