I am SO excited to share a few products I’m totally loving right now! As the holiday season rapidly approaches, I hope we can all share gift ideas—these are a few that I will definitely be gifting to my best girlfriends. Holiday Mini-candles Bath and bodyworks never lets me down. Their holiday scents are delicious…

As glorious as fall colors may be, they can sometimes seem a little dull without a pop of color. I set out the other day to buy a necklace that would give me a pretty pop, but had no luck! Bright colors are slowly being phased out of stores as the season changes so I…

There are few things in the world prettier than glitter. My coworker came to work one day with one of those Starbucks cups (the double walled kind), and it was a sparkly purple. I was so smitten, I had to try it myself and share it with you all! What you’ll need: -A double-walled cup…

Besides department stores, which will always be staples that I love, I’ll go through store phases. I think it’s just that I like knowing I can go into a certain store, find something I like, and then leave. First it was Express (gotta love those mailer coupons) then Banana and J Crew  currently LOFT and…

I truly don’t remember what I wore on my feet during the winter months before I owned boots.  They have been a solid staple in my closet for the past 5 years or so and I can’t imagine bearing the cold weather without them. Last year Tucson dipped into the low 20 degree range (which is…

I want to begin this post by saying that this manicure was a partial fail on my part. It still looks totally cute and I’ve been getting boat loads of compliments, it just wasn’t as successful as I had hoped. Here’s why:  1) I bought 99 cent polish and…you get what you pay for. 2)…

 A trend I do not see disappearing any time soon are cap toe flats, a very chic take on a ballet flat. They definitely add that little pop of fancy you might want for a date night or an important interview. I haven’t found any for a decent price, so I went ahead and transformed…

Without sounding too much like an infomercial, I’d really like to rave a little bit about my new Clarisonic brush. I had really never heard of these brushes until an aesthetician at my work recommended I try one to help with my problematic T-Zone. After glancing at the price tag I laughed in my head and told…

A style icon of many, Audrey Hepburn’s 50’s/60’s chic style has been inspiration to me from the first time I watched Roman Holiday. Mimicking your favorite style icon can be a fun way to liven up your style. I dressed up a few simple pieces and gave them a very Holly Golightly a la Breakfast…

When I’m feeling a little bored with top-knots or if I have no time to curl my hair, milkmaid braids are a great option. They can be worn dressy or casual! I find that braids make for a romantic and girly look, especially if adorned with a flower! What you’ll need: Rubber bands, teasing comb,…

 I wrote my last “5 Things” post in the beginning of what would end up being an extremely toasty summer. 2012 has been a busy year and it is amazing to see where I was a mere 3 months ago compared to now! Back in June I was recovering from my last marathon of college…
