Weekend Picture Book

Do you sometimes find attempting to capture every moment on the cam sometimes prevents you from having a moment in the first place? This past weekend was filled with such capture worthy moments and was perfect beyond best friends can ever make it so I leave you with only a few from our bachelorette revelries. Besides you really don't need to see us in green face masks and our bosses really don't need to know in full disclosure what goes on after a martini or four :) Anyways, "Dirty, dirty April 30" here we come! Congrats Leah, we love you!

Spring "Satchel"


Ticking Stripe, Floral, Color Block, Classic @ ASOS

"Satchel." What a fun word, don't you think? I feel like satchel is to bag like cellular is to cell. It just sounds more official, but for some reason makes you chuckle a bit. I mean, seriously.  When was the last time you told someone that you like their satchel or that you'll call them on their cellular? Am I right?! Aside from my pointless ramblings, I'm kinda digging the "satchel" over at ASOS. The stripe is obviously just my cup of te(a), but I'd love to make a statement with a pop of bold color or go flirty with a floral. What about you, darlings? Which satchel (ha!) is it for you?

Breakfast of Champions

I didn't have a pear on hand and chose to use coconut milk instead of almond- sweet success fresh out of my trusty magic bullet!


I haven't posted about food in quite sometime, but after making this fantastically green smoothie I just had to share! It's jam packed with one full cup (each!) of superfoods kale and spinach and tastes like nothing more than a sweet, delectable banana smoothie. After downing this greener than green concoction, I feel kinda like superwoman :)


All I need now is a tiara!

For the recipe, hop on over to Taylor's fabulous blog, Sterling Style!

Jewelry for Japan

$30 of the proceeds from the sales of this necklace by Ken + Dana will be donated to the Red Cross. Read for the meaning of the inscription.


Although many of us in my little part of the world have not been directly affected by the devastation in Japan, I'm certain that the images, the news, and the stories of people just like you and me have been equally overwhelming and utterly heartbreaking.  It's times like these, albeit senseless and tragic, that we have a chance to unite. It's a time to appeal to the broader concerns of humanity- to help in a time of need, to extend a part of yourself whether it is time, money, or even just prayers. It's times like these when we do not think for a second about our individual differences, but we undoubtedly know at our core that we are all inherently the same.

This necklace by Ken + Dana Designs is a testament to the inner, most important similarities of mankind, our similarities. It features the identifier for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the Public Law (PUB.L.) that abolished the national-origin quotas that had been in place in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1924. With the purchase of this necklace, you will not only be honoring a sense of unity, but you will also be donating $30 to the Red Cross relief efforts in Japan.

To see more products to buy in support of the Japan Disaster Relief, see Refinery 29.

Sneak Peek...I Covered It In Stripes

Debuting this upcoming High Point Furniture Market, Mom and Dad's outdoor furniture striped out :) Do you love?
"Accessorize with Flair" Lonny March/April Issue 2011 p.54

"Eclectic Ingenuity" Lonny March/April 2011 Issue p. 136


I'm sure you've all seen the recent striped pages of the latest, most fabulous Rue and Lonny, but have you seen my latest striped project? The mom 'n' pops have let me help merchandise their product and showroom at the High Point Furniture Market since I was in my teens, and this time around Mom and I just couldn't resist throwing in a little striped sass. I could totally see myself lounging on their piece in my hot pink cut-out monokini of course donning huge sunnies and my oversized yellow hat sipping a minty, fresh mojito. Would you join me?

p.s. If you're going to be in High Point this April and want to drop by the showroom, email me for more deats! I'd love to see you :)

Friendship Found


Remember my latest obsession? I literally shrieked with delight when I spotted, not one, but two friendship bracelets at Paris Fashion Week. Do you wanna know what made my day 100 times over and caused another shrill shriek? When upon my arrival from quite a meh day, I was greeted by a lovely package. I hurriedly ripped open the anonymous package (think small child on Christmas morn') to find a darling handwritten note and three bright and cheery friendship bracelets!

Thanks to Sami from A Glimpse of Glamour for more than making my day! You. are. awesome. Never underestimate an act of kindness y'all :)

p.s. Don't you love when your brain is so fried that you leave a major grammatical error up on the blog for two days? I really just wanted to prove to y'all how good of a time I had over the weekend. Did you catch it? It's still up if you'd like a good laugh.
