Spring Florals
Good Morning lovelies! I hope your week is off to a good start! The weather is beautiful here on the West Coast! We are truly spoiled with this beautiful sunshine! This is the time of the year, I start breaking out all of my dresses. I have talked in the past about how much I love to wear dresses, because I think they are so comfortable, flattering and feminine! I have had this particular dress for a while now. It was my Eater dress a few years ago. I loved the modern floral print and guess what its from Target! I paired it with a belt a shoes from Nordstrom’s, a little high and low styling, is always my fave! Do you all enjoy mixing high and low brands together?

Dressed in Yellow
Hello lovelies! Sorry my posting has been a little sporadic! Ever since we got home from the cruise, life has been pretty busy! This last weekend was so much fun! I was blessed to attend two fabulous gala events! On Sunday, I wore this fabulous yellow Maggy London dress to a Children’s Cancer Fashion show! Attire, was spring dresses and check out my Prada shoes, I purchased these after my very first “real” interior design job! Anyways, those kids and families were so awesome and they are so strong! Dillard’s sponsored the Fashion show and allowed the children to choose outfits based on their fashion sense. They all looked so cute! It truly makes you count your blessings and thank God for your health! My mom and I took a few photos around the hotel’s property, the flowers were simply gorgeous!!! Enjoy!

Happy Monday! Sorry, I was gone all last week on a cruise! I was going to post on the ship to let you all know where I was, but then we lost cell phone service and it cost a fortune to use wi-fi on the ship, so I had to wait until I got back! It was crazy not using the computer or my phone for almost a week! My how the world has changed.
Anyways, I am so excited to tell you about my trip! Our church did a Love Cruise, this past week and it was too much fun! My husband and I had such a blast hanging out with our friends! We danced, sang karaoke, played black jack, played corn hole, visited Ensenada and Catalina Island, and the list goes on! It was so fun to get away and traveling is by far one of my absolute favorite things to do! In Ensenada, we visited the Blow Hole (La Bufadora), which is the largest in the world, the other two blow holes are in Hawaii and Australia. La Bufadora is a natural spout that shoots sea water high in the air, it’s one of Ensenada’s most famous and spectacular attractions. We walked the strip of outdoor shops, had a lot of churro and pina colada samples and bought gifts for our families. Our tour guide was so sweet and so much fun, we were blessed to get such a sweet man to take us around Ensenada. Just before leaving Ensenada, we all stopped to eat authentic street tacos, which were by far the best tacos I have ever had!!!! I am excited to share more pictures and stories with you of my vacation, be sure to stop back by this week!

Lara Spencer in Ritani by Forevermark Diamonds
Good Morning America correspondent Lara Spencer showed off the winning dress by Badgley Mischka and her hand selected Ritani by Forevermark Diamond Double Drop Earrings. Her earrings were 28.36 ctw and are set in Platinum. Can you say gorgeous!?!
Who watched the Emmy’s last night? Marvelous outfits graced the red carpets, wouldn’t you say? I loved the bright color palette’s that were used. Hollywood’s finest were dressed in beautiful gowns varying in shades of yellow, green, orange, red and blue. There were many that went for the classic black and/or white look as well. I have to say, I was quite impressed with the fashion choices made this year. The celebrity stylists really worked their Red Carpet magic! You know what else I always find just as beautiful as the fashion? The jewelry! Every little girls dreams of looking like a princess, with a beautiful dress and jewels draped around her neck; and that’s just what these A-List Stars get to be for these award shows, Princesses!
Enjoy the pics from the 2012 Emmy’s!
