Do You Believe in Signs?
Maybe I’m superstitious, but I believe that things happen for a reason, and if you look closely there are signs all around us.
As you know, I’ve been going through some trying times, and this week is no exception. However, JPC just sent me a text with this picture:
He freed a trapped dragonfly and sent along a message that he sees it as a sign. Dragonflies symbolize a transformation...

Some Pep In Your Step
After all the madness is said and done and all the feelings have been felt- its important to remember to put some pep in your step.
Go out during the week. Wear a party dress to work (with a blazer that you can remove after 5:00). Eat, drink, be merry. Most of all laugh. Remember it’s the little things that bring happiness.

Time For Quiet
They say the hardest and most stressful things in a person’s life have to do with new jobs, moving, experiencing a death, or having a baby.
What if I told you each of those things (but one) have happened ten times over in the last two years alone?
I’ve been especially quiet on this blog this month. Honestly, I’ve felt a little defeated. The last thing I’ve wanted to do...

Let's Take A Trip!
To be honest, as hectic as my life has been lately one thing I can always make room for is travel. The jetset bug has had a tight hold on me for quite some time and while I long for simplicity, schedules, and the ease of a routine deep in my bones I know that life its not for me. So while my schedule and budget don’t allow for my usual type of gallivanting, I needed to look near instead of...

Sometimes You'll Date a Wolf in Valentino Clothing
Sometime or another you’ll date a man just because he’s rich.
You’ll meet him at a party for a store opening that you attended with a friend. His friend will ask your friend for drinks and you’ll tag along to play wing woman. You’ll make small talk with the wolf for manners sake, but you wont be interested. You’ll be thinking about the man you’re seeing...

Lashes For Days
Alright y’all, now that I’m done spamming you with photos and bragging rights from Palm Springs, lets get back to the regularly scheduled programing. Its time to address some hard hitting issues like mascara.
I read in an article from Seventeen magazine when I was about thirteen that Halle Berry’s live and die by beauty product was the green and pink tube of Maybelline...

Nature...You're Doing It Wrong
There is way more to Palm Springs then just Coachella. The city itself is an amazing vacation destination and I can’t wait to go back to check out some of their chic and kitschy hotels, shops, and of course spas! While on our trip we took some time out from partying to take the tram up to Chico Canyon on the worlds largest rotating tram.
To say that Lauryn and I were under-prepared for...

Coachella Day 3: Dressing For Life After Death
As I write this my eye lids are pulling down on my face like two giant weights so bear with me. Day 3 at Coachella was what dreams are made of. 85 degrees in the desert with the sun shining and not a cloud in the sky is how Indio should always look, and will always look to me.
I donned a breezy nude button up dress for the occasion, knowing the it would cut right through the heat. While buttoned...

JPC and I moved into the new temporary apartment tonight. I’m trying to se it more as a step toward our ‘real’ home and less of a bump in the road.

Coachella Day 2: Hindsight is 20/20
Knowing how absolutely awful it was to nearly freeze to death on Day 1 of Coachella after expecting sunshine, warm, and sunburns I knew I had to prepare for Saturday, day 2 of Coachella. Like the saying goes- hindsight is 20/20 and I wasn’t going to fall short on warm clothing.
Day 2 was on its way to warmer temps, but just to be safe I scoured Lauryn’s giant suitcase in hopes of...

Coachella Thoughts & Fashion
Coachella 2012 is now over and I have finally recuperated enough to sort out my thoughts and write a post on the trip.
To say Coachella was wild would be an understatement, but I’ll just leave it at that. It was my first time heading out for the music festival and it was also my first trip to beautiful Palm Springs.
Lets get down to it- What I Wore, Coachella Day 1
Trend wise I think I...

When A Blogger Bakes...
Part two. I had such unbelievable success with the to-freaking-die-for Nutella cake that I made for Christmas that I was feeling ballsy and ready for some Easter baking.
The end result was cute- but like I’ve mentioned before, I don’t have the best hand eye coordination so frosting those little suckers was a bit difficult. Actually, the whole process was a bit more difficult then I...

I was debating whether or to mention it in the original post! I do have a tattoo on my right index finger (nice spotting it!) it says ‘Shhh…’
Just a little something silly as a reminder not to take things so seriously!

What is your tattoo on the inside of your finger?
