I want to be exactly like this woman! Her name is Pat White and I recently attended one of her book signings. We became friends when I first wanted to become a writer. Pat’s positivity was infectious, and her advice spot on. I’m forever amazed at how she juggles being a devoted mom and wife while maintaining a prolific writing …
This line is currently riding high on my list of favorites, and has held that position for awhile. I can’t help it. I not only love founder Ray Kelvin’s couture, I love his outlook. Raised in humble circumstances, Ray named his company after the fictitious “Ted Baker,” and resolved to make every item beautiful while balancing just the right amount …
You know it’s summer when “music” and “festival” are inseparable buzzwords. And when a girl attends one of those, she feels left out if she isn’t decked out in festival fashion, so here’s the look…bohemian and bangles. Now you need to find the place. Since this is Travel Thursday, here’s a list of the best summer fests of 2015… https://seatgeek.com/tba/festivals/music-festivals/ …
Have you ever started the day at the office, ducked into the gym after work, and went from there directly to a fancy event—with no chance to dart home and freshen up? Well, today a professional makeup artist is helping me show you how to touchup your makeup for any occasion while en route. And we use so few products they’ll …
I’ve always loved NARS’ products, but I loved them even more when I learned that each one has ingredients that are good for you. A close friend of mine has Celiac Disease. Any amount of gluten makes her extremely sick, even if it is in her makeup. She has probably tried every brand, and the only one that did not …
Ed is a pretty awesome man to feature for Meeting Men Monday. He’s not only talented, but romantic, funny and down-to-earth. When he was asked to describe a perfect first date, he said, “I can cook one meal and one meal only and that meal is fajitas. And if I may say so, I cook it damn well.” How many …
It’s really no secret that I’m all for this designing lady. There have been so many pics of her creations on my site. Today is all about a classic lavender dress and the purrfect purse for you cat lovers. I just couldn’t pass them up, so I tied them together with two Alexis Bittar bangles and strolled over to a …
Today, I was reminiscing about my spring Hawaii trip…I might add as I was eyeing the piles of work covering all the wood on my desk! So for Travel Thursday, I’m posting about an eco-friendly, fashion-forward tropical haunt. MU’UMU’U HEAVEN, aka vintage clothing heaven, creates one-of-a-kind dresses, and donates a percentage of every sale to the preservation of Hawaii’s coral …
…But you can belly, side, and back flop over and over again…and have fun the entire time! A big thanks to my friend Cole for teaching me how to wakesurf. As you can see from his performance, no one could have had a better instructor. Do you think I might need a few more lessons to reach his level?
To me, it means enjoying every last ray of sunshine and not taking a single moment for granted. I’m a strong believer in the concept that you have to slow down enough in life to see the beauty in front of you. The beauty of the sun melting into the sky blew me away when I took these shots. I …
Somehow, I managed to make it through life until now without wakesurfing. If you haven’t tried it yet, get your suit on and find that boat, board and driver. Being on top of the water with the breeze catching your hair and the landscape flying by is surreal. This picture was taken before my first wakesurfing experience, which I didn’t …
When it comes to gifts-with-purchase, in my opinion there is no contest for the best. Lancôme wins every time! Recently, I was running out of some cosmetics must-haves, so I stopped by the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and was given the above Lancôme mini-palette and gloss. In this picture, I created my look entirely from the gift. So whenever a special …
That’s Colbie, Rebecca and me;) For today’s Fashion Friday post, I edited together a little Instagram video of me wearing a Rebecca Taylor dress with a beautiful sunset and Colbie Caillat song for the backdrop. https://instagram.com/p/5Px13oCfAN/ This dress is perfect for sitting, standing, and twirling. I wore it to something that was slated as a dinner event but morphed into …
Lady Yum in Kirkland Washington is no run-of-the-mill macaroon shop. The tantalizing flavors cooked up there include every possible confection from caramel to s’mores, and each bite is sheer sweets heaven! I say that when in doubt, get more than you think you can eat because–trust me–when a girl encounters Lady Yum, for some mysterious reason she is never full. …
A girl just wants to bring on the fun when she hears these babes’ new song, Party. Here’s a dance tutorial teaching steps to their latest music video. Learn them, and you and your friends can get the party started in style. If you’d like to see a hair tutorial so you can create their flower-adorned, beach-party looks in their …
