DIY Colorful Barrettes

  Today I’m sharing how to make cute and simple colorful barrettes over at Making It Lovely.  I told you I was having a barrette obsession lately.  The DIY is simple and cheap 😉  Please hop on over to take a look!

Daily Style – Maternity Shoot Part 1

Dress – ASOS Maternity; Shoes – old BCBG; Earrings – Kate Spade I never imagined I’d buy something so impractical for some pictures.  But when I was browsing through my options and I came across this dress, it seemed perfect to go along with the course of this pregnancy; happy, unexpected, special.  My main concern […]

DIY Seeing Stars Hair Clips

  I saw these star hair clips months ago and pinned them under my DIY ideas board, knowing that eventually I’d get around to making them.  I’m so glad I finally followed through with the project because they ended up being relatively easy to make and the results are quite pretty, if I do say […]

Daily Style – Always A Classic

Dress – ASOS Maternity; Tennies – Converse; Necklace – DIY by me; Watch – Michael Kors; Bangles – Kate Spade It’s so funny to see trends come in and out, and with each trend it seems that the younger generation claims it as their own, or at least claims to have a lock on the […]

The Dress

I couldn’t help myself, sparkles just seemed appropriate for a third and final baby.  Of course I did do a couple of outfit changes, so it’s not just all sequins and sparkles.  I’ll share the final pictures when I have them.  Can’t wait!  The little sneak peeks Miranda was showing me through her camera got […]

DIY Inspiration – Barrettes

I haven’t worn a proper barrette since I was a little girl, but this Spring I started seeing the reappearance of pretty detailed barrettes all over the place and I love how they are looking in flowy hair or to make a simple bun seem not so simple.  I especially love that they serve a […]

Out & About In LA – The Eveleigh & Flower District

A while back we visited a restaurant in LA called The Eveleigh before a concert, and I fell in love with the simple decor. White stoneware plates, simple streamlined glasses and white farm napkins. The only decor that adorned the tables were tiny white votives. But then a visit to the LA Flower Mart and […]

Daily Style – Breezy Cool

Skirt & Tank – Target; Gladiator Sandals – Sam Edelman; Hat – Roxy As summer rolls into full swing and the temperatures heat up, we often think we’re relegated to sundresses and shorts and tanks for the next 3 months, but I love the skirt and lightweight top option as well.  It allows for a […]

Girl’s Night In

My relationships with my girlfriends are one of the most important things in my life.  The women I consider some of my dearest friends took a long time to find, and some I’ve only known for a few years.  While they aren’t women I’ve grown up with or even went to college with, I value […]
