MUST HAVES – GIRLS WEEKEND
I feel so fortunate that I have been able to spend the past two weekends surrounded by women of such a high caliber. The girls in my life that I am lucky enough to call my “friends” are driven, independent, have a wicked sense of humor, a sharp sense of style {each unique}, and are kind-hearted. Here’s a peek into my past two weekends with my girlfriends…
Weekend #1: Celebrating my sister’s birthday in Los Angeles. Brunch in Beverly Hills. Champagne and cupcakes in our room at the W in Hollywood. Dinner at Lexington Social House complete with Superhero cocktails {with Pop Rocks} & fried chicken. Cocktails at the Station Lounge. Sunday brunch at Toast.Weekend #2: Pink champagne in a stretch limousine. Dinner and drinks at Arch Rock Fish {with too much laughter for words}. Bottle service at Eos {aka bottles of Veuve Clicquot topped with fiery sparklers}.

HOW TO – DEWY MAKEUP & GODDESS HAIR
Maybe it’s the fact that I just got back from a virtually makeup free trip in Hawaii {post to come soon!}… maybe it’s the fact that the sun is starting to warm up a bit. Whatever it may be, I’ve been much more relaxed about my makeup routine as of late. To look natural, but not undone, follow the hair and makeup video tutorials below.
