monday randoms

There's only a few things worse than waking up VERY early, on a Monday, and going to an appointment that's actually NEXT Monday. But since I was up, I figured why not make a quick random blog post.


These are the items that I wear everyday(minus the perfume, because we all know I have a million bottles and will never wear just a single scent! Too many delicious perfumes out there! This just happened to be the scent I wore today).

I recently discovered the Too Faced BB Cream(for those out there that don't know what BB stands for: Beauty Balm). This stuff is amazing! I try avoiding new products on my face because my skin is so sensitive and reactive to many products, but this magical item did wonders and I will definitely be repurchasing. I will do a full review in another post, so for now, I will say that this is a must have item for me.

Some other things I have been obsessing over are:

I haven't actually tried this yet but I've heard it smells amazing! It's also suppose to be great for your skin. But obviously I'm more interested in the perfume aspect of it.

Oh, wow. What a surprise. Another fragrance. I recently got a sample of Narciso Rodriguez Intense perfume and I have to say while it is a bit musky, it smells very nice. I prefer bright and sweet fragrances but this perfume was absolutely delicious. I started looking at reviews and I came across this particular fragrance(for her) and saw that the reviews for this perfume topped the other(intense). Once again, I haven't smelled this either but I'm pretty sure I'll be purchasing this. If anyone has tried it let me know!














And here's how I felt this early morning after I came back from my nonexistent appointment. This is what upset and tired look like.

And on that note, I hope everyone has a great week.

cloudy day

After walking Leo and Sebastian around the neighborhood,

Joy and myself went to a pub located downtown on top of a 

bridge with an amazing view of the city. It was a bit 

chilly outside, but the view of the cloudy day was

just too pretty to pass up!

After our trip downtown, we went to a specialty wine
and beer store where they have a small bar located inside.
We sat down and drank some delicious beverages!
Good way to end the night.
This weekend will be one of Parker's best friends 30th birthday.
To celebrate Lincoln's birthday we will be dressing up
in costumes and going to a skating rink followed by bowling.
It should be a fun night. Can't wait to share with you all!

day walks

As you know, part of my New Year's resolutions was to BLOG more! This is officially my first blog post of the year! I know this is a bit different than my previous posts(and a bit late), but I'm going to start incorporating daily life and fun pictures into my posts and of course my typical fashion and beauty posts! So, to begin, these photos were taken yesterday. Parker and myself went out for a stroll with our boys(Leo and Sebastian). We live in a beautiful neighborhood and the weather was amazing so we couldn't pass up a nice long walk.

Ah, I love those pups and so happy tomorrow's Friday! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

P.S. Just to keep the fashion alive for this post, I am wearing:
Jeans : Seven For All Mankind
Hoodie : Harvard Sweatshirt
Flats : Libby Edelman

happy new year!!

So, my resolutions...


-join a yoga class

-blog three times a week(because clearly I've been slacking)

last but not least...
-enjoy life more. STRESS is unnecessary.

put on your party pants

How CUTE are these high waisted shorts?! I am in love with them! I am lucky enough to work at an amazing boutique where I can prance around in all our new items while working. It's almost like having a free closet for a day! The BEST part is that you can buy these too! Click here and check out the webpage and you can also go here to link up to the facebook page where it's updated every hour with new items!

My whole goal of wanting to post at least once a week is not really happening :( I must say it's hard to take pictures without a tripod sometimes! No excuses though. Thankfully, I prepared myself ahead of time and I will have things to post the next couple of days! Besides that... I hope everyone has a great week! :)

black and white

There's nothing more simple and chic than pairing black and white together. Okay, there obviously is, but hands down putting black and white together is top five. Black and white are so versatile that it makes any outfit easy to accessorize. Here's how I did it with white shorts and a black top.


shorts : abercrombie & fitch

sandals : kensiegirl

clutch : forever 21

bracelets : h&m
