love and mums

This little cutie got me thinking about Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Totally luxurious, this letter bound notebook would be the perfect gift for either holiday. And yes, my 'mum' would love it.

first outfit

So, I finally snapped a pic of myself in one of my 30 for 30 outfits. (Please excuse the background. I was at work and slipped into the ladies restroom to do an improtu photo shoot!)

Not sure why I look so 'lost' in this pic but I like it.

Basic black top from New York and Company, fun and colorful skirt from Filene's Basement, black tights, Nude snakeskin pump from Nine West, Scarf from my mom (which apparently I gave to her five years ago, but which she let me have on Sunday.)  Oh and the necklace - here's a story. I was at church one night and during our greeting time I said hello to this lady, gave her a hug and said, "I love your necklace." As church was closing she went to shake my hand, slipping the necklace into my hand and then walking away before I had realized what happened. Talk about a gift!

*p.s. this 30 for 30 is fun! More pics coming!

THE Makeup kit

This year for Christmas my older brother, James, really shocked me by getting me a few things that I love, including a small Coach wristlet and a makeup kit from Artistry. The only with the kit though was that in was in the wrong color. (sad face)


After waiting a little while, last week I finally got the right shade in the kit and oh my goodness it's so awesome! The makeup is light and gives me a totally natural and fresh face. Seriously ladies give it a try you will not be disappointed. Here's what comes in the kit:

{from left to right: pressed powder, concealer, mascara, powder brush, eye and cheek set, more brushes and a simple black bag to carry it all in.}

I am in love with this set, seriously. I'm even considering doing a video for you ladies showing how I use it...whatcha think?

Happy Monday

Hello dahlings...

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I spent the weekend dancing, twirling, baking, praising God at church and casually watching the SuperBowl on Sunday night with friends.

Excited for the week ahead! Lots to update you all on regarding London. I still cant believe I'm moving in SEVEN Months!! So much to do but it's so exciting. I'm so grateful for how everything has come together and I'm praying that it will continue to do so.

So, with all of that said, stay tuned lovies...lots of good things coming soon.

Hey lovebirds, what are your big plans for the weekend? I have the weekend off, yay!, so tonight I am going salsa dancing with my girlfriends. muy caliente!

Before I dance off into the weekend, though I wanted to share these super cute things from Ban.do.

The dress

For whatever reason I did not get my invitation to attend the Oscars this year... weird? (Ahem) However, if I had gotten my invite this is what I would have worn...

You can never go wrong with Versace, no?

eeek...30 for 30 starts today

I wish I could say that I'm totally prepared for this 30 for 30 challenge...but I'm definitely not. Get ready for a few pics here and there to showcase what I'm wearing. And I'm not gonna lie. I'll probably only post the cuter outfits. Nothings worse than awkward self portraits of bad outfits.

So, are you doing the 30 for 30 challenge...Are you ready?
