Thawing Out

It's like a cruel joke when stores start releasing their spring and summer wares when we are still dead in the middle of winter. We just finished with a major snow situation here in the South and I am looking at bathing suits online (for the little one, not me, I choose to endure that torture closer to summer about 12 hours before I actually have to wear said bathing suit). Needless to say, I am loving everything that J Crew in putting out for the season. The good news is most of these things will be on sale by the time you or I can actually wear them.

Mara Hoffman released a collection for Crewcuts and it is beyond. I am obsessed with it all.

Who else is totally psyched for spring?

Pretty in Pink

Who else is ready for winter to hurry up and be on its merry way? I have been wistfully staring at the sandals in my closet. I'm also digging these spring-ey interior spaces. Which all noticeably have one thing in common: pink. It's my new favorite color to decorate with. It just seems to work everywhere with any color.

Now, while I would probably never suggest anyone paint their kitchen cabinets hot pink…here it just works. These folks are ballsy…and I dig it….I dig it hard.

Now go get a pink pillow or something. It will work. I promise.

Ruthie Sommers is my Spirit Guide

Her house is amazing. Others people's houses she designs are amazing. Basically, she's amazing.

Here is her California home….

It's everything interior design should be. Life is too short to live in a boring home. 

I'm Not a Beauty Expert...but I Play One on This Blog

This isn't a beauty blog by any stretch of the imagination, but I always love hearing what other people use. And then I make a mad dash to Sephora and scoop up what I think will work for me. Lets face it, I'm not getting any younger and in the last year or two I have really stepped up my skincare game. Here are my current faves...

Clarisonic Mia

I got this for Christmas and I can already tell a difference in my skin. It works. Get it.

Philosophy Exfoliating Wash

This stuff is amazing. It's gentle enough to use everyday, but I stick to every 2 days or so.

Philosophy Hope in a Jar

If you have dry skin like me (it's so dryyyyy) this stuff works miracles.

Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil

At first I was scared to put oil on my face. Why would one do that? Because it makes your skin soft and amazing, that's why. Put it on over your moisturizer to lock it in all day.

Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo

I only wash my hair every 2-3 days. I started doing that after I had a baby (really because I didn't have time to wash my hair) but I noticed a huge difference in the texture and frizz. This dry shampoo is the bees knees. And it smells fantastic.

Benefit They're Real Mascara

Best. Mascara. Ever. Enough said.


So that's everything I am loving right now. I am always trying out new things so every few months I'll try and post what I find. Happy Saturday everyone!

Catching Up

I promise I'm alive.

Have all of you taken advantage of the killer after Christmas sales? I certainly did.  J Crew has one of the best ones going! It's like Christmas all over again when the UPS guy shows up. My favorite score?

These.

Mirror Metallic Pumps

They finally went on sale and I got an additional 40% off! 

Now that the holidays are over and life settles back into normal routines, I promise to start blogging regularly again. So much to share! New clients, new designs, new reveals. Here's to a fantastic 2014!
