FABULOUS FOUR – SUMMER SAFARI

by 4 Comments

Safari influenced fashion is something you should try...right now {you can see an example of it here}.  Tan is commonly misrepresented as a "boring" color... I am utterly adamant about the fact that tan is not boring... it serves as the perfect base for embellishment and individuality.  Tan/beige/pebble {whatever you want to call the color!} is polished, refined, and universally flattering.  Give ...

Tan... leather... leopard print... ruffles... chains. Pretty much the perfect combination.

HOW TO – PACK FOR A WARM WEEKEND

by 2 Comments

Going away for a three-day weekend... especially someplace warm... is always something to look forward to.  Packing for it? Not so much.  There is very little about this article that is glamorous {except for the fact that I'm packing for a long weekend in Palm Springs}... but this is a practical skill you should master.  You'll need outfits for the pool, daytime shopping/outings, nighttime ...

The word "vacation" should be synonymous with "stress-free". So why is packing so stressful? Now it doesn't have to be.

FABULOUS FOUR – SANTA BARBARA SUMMER

by Leave a Comment

Though summer doesn't technically begin until June 21, the summer in Santa Barbara always feels like it begins a bit earlier... with the longer days, the warmer weather, and the abundance of international tourists... I feel like my summer {and the summer of numerous other Santa Barbarians} has already begun.  Summer is when the grill is king {or queen}... when State Street becomes a spectacle ... Read the Post

Fragrant flowers, international appeal, to-die-for grilled food, and a summer journal. Fabulous.

Words 2. Creativity 3. Pink 4. Frivolity... the frivolity was the aspect that did it for me... for one set to include the words "bunny," ... Read the Post

A product that promotes intelligence. vocabulary. creativity. and femininity. Obsessed.

MUST HAVES – MAKEUP

by 3 Comments

I think that makeup is the bee's knees.  It has the power to enhance or transform.  To empower and seduce.  To project innocence or confidence.  {view my 5-Minute Face and Advanced Makeup tutorials here and learn how to achieve the perfect pout here}. I've had inquiries as to exactly what makeup products I use, what I can't live without, and what I give my stamp-of-approval to.  I decided that I ... Read the Post

My {absolute} favorite makeup products... ever.

MUST HAVES – BOWS

by Leave a Comment

You can just wear one... in your hair, on your wrist, around your waist... for a touch of femininity.  Or you can wear them from head to toe for a frilly, girly, oh-so-cute look.  I can't get enough bows.  Maybe you'll fall in love with one {or all} of the bow-topped items below like I have. 1. Crystal Dipped Handheld Mirror Made with Swarovski Elements $350 2. Christian Louboutin Lady Bow ... Read the Post

Bows are the perfect feminine accessory. Appropriate for any season and any occasion. The bow is the perfect accent piece.
